For you viewing pleasure: (URL) (Click the image, feel the love.) Originally, this was going to be a static model, but after some internal measurements I realized it would be the perfect model to motorize. Only the turret traverse is powered for (...)

(...) I was under the impression that Kevin's supply of pnuematics were around 100 pistons and switches. I have a small hand full of the new types and less than a dozen of the old type. IMHO, that's why I orriginally wanted to create the Leg truss (...) (20 years ago, 29-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Ok, so how should we proceed? How many switches and pistons DO you have? We could scale back the design to fit your inventory, or come up with another solution. We could all pitch in parts, but that will mean SSClagorpion will have a limited (...) (20 years ago, 29-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Hey guys, I'm standing by, forgive my absence. I have the parts to contribute for structural things, the sheer amount of switches and pistons are out of my range. I do have Rotation Sensors and greeble doohickies. I also have three Spybots. (...) (20 years ago, 29-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Great exhibit! I really wish I could have been there to see all the great models. Ron Jansen's Demag CC12600 is looking good. I see your new Menck dragline- very nice!!! Can't wait to see more details. -TJ (20 years ago, 29-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam)

Last Saturday the Modelshow Europe was held in Geldermalsen NL. This year there were more than 360 exhibitors. About eight of them brought LEGO models with them (me included). I made some pictures but there not all very clear unfortunately. But my (...) (20 years ago, 29-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.events, FTX)

(...) Considering the flex in the body/leg and the overall size/weight of this guy, it may be good to raise it up a bit more. Maybe 2x the normal throw? With that in mind, that still only 2/leg or 16. (...) I was thinking about a diff-drive walker (...) (20 years ago, 29-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Dunno. I'm mulling around the leverage issue. I don't see why the feet should have to rise more that the amount the piston expands/contracts. If I can figure out how to make the leverage work (and pack it all in nicely), we could be back to 8 (...) (20 years ago, 29-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I didn't see any comment from Eric about the proposed parts list. It's around 50 pistons, and 100 switches. Is that OK? And, do we know how big this thing is, yet? Also, I'm going to have to do the Spybot/family thing. We can try to get (...) (20 years ago, 29-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

I just had a silly, yet kind of cool idea. I'm not sure what you know about the Spybots, but if you have two Spybots, then from Spybot A, you can tell the direction, distance, and orientation of Spybot B. (yes, from A you can tell which direction B (...) (20 years ago, 27-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)
