  Re: SSCorpion
 
(...) Actually we want it to stand on its front legs. This brings the tail forward. Scorpions sting forward with their tails, so we need to lower the front end and raise the backend, plus curl the tail forward more than normal. (...) If we add a (...) (20 years ago, 13-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I built nothing there, I just programmed. For me these two experiences are *very* different. Kevin (20 years ago, 13-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: SSCorpion
 
(...) With four polarity reversors (16 pneumo switches), we can make it walk forward, backward, turn right or left. If we used more polarity reversors we could make one side walk forward, while the other side turns, leading to a curved walking path. (...) (20 years ago, 13-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: The Clague - Sophie Project
 
(...) I'd love to see you make something (probably small, due to pneumatics use) that's capable of utilizing the pneumatics to make a walker that actually moves... If you go all the way back to Junkyard Wars, season 1--the grand finale of the show (...) (20 years ago, 12-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  Re: SSClagorpian
 
Are you planning to publish building instructions and/or an ldraw version? Hmm, over 2 dozen cylinders.... Backhoes are on special... Mebbe I'd better get 3. (20 years ago, 13-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: SSClagorpian
 
(...) Hi Brian, I figured there would be plenty of lurkers and non-so lurkers on this topic. One of our goals is to have the scorpion turn in place. Hex242 could do this, and it will be easy to make SSClagorpion (Eric's choice for name) do this as (...) (20 years ago, 13-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: SSCorpion
 
(...) Well, since nobody has objected, let me just say up front... PLEASE keep it on-line. I agree with Steve, this is fun (and that's just as a spectator). With regards to Steves question about "decoupling" the left and right sides, Kevin, could (...) (20 years ago, 13-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) synergy. cool. :) (...) I hadn't really thougth about standing up on it's hind legs. I don't know how well it will work, but what if it were to sit down (front legs straight, back legs fully retracted) then, start straightning legs from the (...) (20 years ago, 13-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: SSCorpion
 
(...) This is my first Co-build as well. But not my first multi-person project. I have also witness first hand the success you both have had in working with others and in your own projects. I'm interested in unlocking my potential. I'm interested in (...) (20 years ago, 13-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: SSCorpion
 
(...) I assume you're not counting the Team Magno fiasco. I guess there really wasn't much building involved there. :) (...) ... (...) ... (...) Will this type of design allow it to turn in place, or can it only turn while walking forward/backward? (...) (20 years ago, 13-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)
