As soon as my current projects are done, or maybe even sooner than that I wanted to design a Lego Chipper as a final project for a while. The problem is that Legos can't cut wood. I have thought about using store-bought razor blades for the cutting (...) (19 years ago, 7-Dec-05, to lugnet.technic)

You're onto something with the split in the chassis, though, and I thought of a three-wheeled version, where the front single wheel can pivot, like on a tricycle. I found this (...)

(...) I think one way to steer it is to split the robot in half, and twist in the middle. However, that will make it hard to keep the front and back wheels in sync. Steve (19 years ago, 6-Dec-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
