(...) I think this robot chassis is for use with Interface I (1455), which in the UK was used with BBC Micros. I'm not sure whether any other computers would connect to it. It had 6 motor ports for 4.5V motors or lights, and 2 sensor ports that (...) (20 years ago, 27-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I'd say that's a really good start. Many of the modules I've seen have places where the balls get stuck. Considering the number of balls running through the contraption, it's not really a big deal. Steve (20 years ago, 27-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)

I forget; did you say you were going to try to make a rotary engine out of legos? I assume it has a rotary engine because the RX-7 had dual rotors. You might have already answered that question in a previous email, but I can't find it. (20 years ago, 25-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)
