(...) Well 16 segments means 32 pistons and 64 switches. I have that much easily, but the bulk of it is in-model in inchworm, quad242 and PHD. PHD is too expensive to keep around once I get it all hosed together and working. It has 48 switches in (...) (20 years ago, 14-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Nope, but we could just eliminate #1 by just turning of the compressors. (...) It is still on the list, I was just leaving it out of the equation for a moment. (...) Yes, slow, more pressure, or more force. Shall I assume four pistons per leg? (...) (20 years ago, 14-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Hi Bob, I opened two of my receivers, one was from set 8376 Hot Flame and the other was from set 8475 RC Buggy (I actually purchased this second receiver from BrickLink just to get the third output).

(...) That was my second choice. Ok, three motors. If it can be worked out, we COULD combine #1 and #3, right? Leaving: 1) Function (walk/turn) 2) Direction (forward/backward/stop) I assume both of these groups are controlled only by motors, and at (...) (20 years ago, 14-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Yes. (...) No. (...) No (...) No. Ignoring side walking for a moment..... 1) One motor to turn a single switch on/off. This allows or prevents walking. 2) One motor to flip 8 switches. This one controls walking vs. turning. 3) One motor to (...) (20 years ago, 14-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Ok, so I'm thinking about motors to flip pneumo-switches. Each of these may be one or more switches, all activated at the same time. 1) Switch for Start/Stop (on/off) When this switch is "on" the scorpion will be walking. (legs going up/down + (...)
