I would love a way to mount other mCUs, as the 3 RCXs, and batteries to support them to get some of the same functionality can be very heavy and bulky.

Hi all, It's probably not impressive with the 7-foot-high-man-eati...go-walkers I've seen here :P but here's an active pneumatic suspension I thought up. It's suposed to be activated manually, and after a while (thanks to the "pneumatic parlor (...) (19 years ago, 24-Nov-05, to lugnet.technic)
