  Re: SSClagorpion
 
(...) Hmmmm.... interesting question. I don't know much pneumatic theory, but..... Pressure is in pounds per square inch. So if we know the area of the face of a piston, and we know the pressure we can determine how many pounds a single piston can (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

I've finally finished the write-up of my carousel at (URL) to .spybotics because it's Spybot powered. (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics, lugnet.technic, lugnet.town)
 
  Re: SSClagorpion
 
(...) That's up to you. I'd like to see it move as fast as possible, but I think even if we make it as small as possible, it's going to weigh at least 10 pounds. 3 or 4 pounds will be the RCXs, battey box, Spybot, and motors. So, what will it take (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) This is a reality given large LEGO pneumatic pistons, but I knew this when I started this project by inviting Eric to join me. (...) Kevin (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) That would probably convince me, if I knew who Tim was, and if I ever went to BrickFest. I'm not that dedicated an AFOL I guess. (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: The Clague - Sophie Project
 
(...) 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)
 
  Re: SSClagorpion
 
(...) 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)
 
  Re: 6293 rc receiver Auxiliary output possible?
 
(...) 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). The first thing I noticed is that the motor (...) (20 years ago, 14-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: The Clague - Sophie Project
 
(...) A sidewinding snake I saw on TV was in an M shape, with effectively two feet on the ground all the time. You'll have to synchronise four segments for each advancement of the 16-stage flip-flop! This is gonna bankrupt you and outstock TLC of (...) (20 years ago, 13-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: SSClagorpion
 
(...) 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)
