|

Short question: how can I combine technic gears, arms, cams, etc. to make a motor-driven part that does not move in either a straight line, a circle, or an arc (i.e. part of a circle)? Long question: I'm trying to figure out how to drive an arm so (...) (20 years ago, 23-Aug-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Hi ROSCO, The slew ring uses a roller bearing based on the what-you-ma-call-it-...big-wheels wheels. For some strange reason it did not occur to me to use one wheel and then have a flat surface on the bottom of the upper works, so the ring is (...) (20 years ago, 23-Aug-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Just a follow-up -- all I had to do was slightly redesign and reattach the feet, with the cam-driven connection on the outside and the stabilizing connections on the inside. It now walks quite reliably! Very cool. This bot is cute in a sort of (...) (20 years ago, 23-Aug-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I think you're right. For the record, I tried simply shifting the foot plates in one stud each -- and this does sort of work; the bot now wobbles a lot but, most of the time, actually transfers from foot to foot. But I think your analysis (...) (20 years ago, 23-Aug-04, to lugnet.technic)
