I saw on some sites a pic of a lego clutch using the newer double bevel gears. This is basically the same type of clutch system used in earlier technic car sets (8860, 8865) and I was wondering, since those clutches used to jam (the gears couldn't (...) (19 years ago, 31-Jul-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Will this new central timing circuit allow you to attach touch sensors, so, if you wanted, you could track the state of the walker with an RCX? Just curious. :) Steve (19 years ago, 29-Jul-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

I am currently working on a eight legged walker that may end up being ssclagorpion, but who knows. It is using a new central timing circuit that should allow it to complete the walking sequence in four piston transitions. I had been in a DA for (...)

Has anyone ever done this? They probably would not get good traction, seeing as how the only way to keep them from coming off the rollers is to put the handles on the inside and use them to hold the tread on. I think maybe it would be hard to get (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jul-05, to lugnet.technic)
