 | | World domination - with small technic
|

Who am I? Nobody, but I've got big ideas. For Lego to do. :-) I think Technic has a great untapped potential. There are many parts, gears, tools and techniques! Yay! But the sets are not up to scratch. They are good, realistic models, but are only (...) (18 years ago, 28-Feb-07, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) Thank you! I like the small(er) size of the motors; do the large motors also have a stud recesses down one side? It actually looks in both bases as if the pin connections are fairly well placed. I'm not overjoyed with the "hard-wired" nature (...) (18 years ago, 28-Feb-07, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

(...) Ah, I just read the text to the auction. Could very well be ZNAP. Drat. From what I see there, I really think I could make it work. Jonathan (18 years ago, 28-Feb-07, to lugnet.technic)

While wandering around Bricklink, I found this auction. (URL) Does anyone recognize the curved part in the lower left of the 3rd photo down? I am not nearly up to speed on technic parts as I should be. The curve appears to be made around a 3 stud (...) (18 years ago, 28-Feb-07, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.inv, lugnet.town)

(...) Looks like an interesting way to control the pivoting motion of a jointed vehicle! Now why is that person's entire folder of lego pics under the keyword 'Avatar'?: (URL) Shouldn't it be under MOC or some other more accurate term? (18 years ago, 28-Feb-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

I like stuff like that! 'Macro Mechanisms'. Remember when there was discussion and about a MOC made that replicated a device called the 'Geneva Wheel' was it? (18 years ago, 28-Feb-07, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Hmm, I will add my voice in saying thanks for the pics. Definitely interesting. I agree that I would prefer to have connector terminals on active bricks, and not permanently attached cables. What also I find awkward is that we now have (...) (18 years ago, 28-Feb-07, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

(...) I can't say that I am a fan of the "permanent wires" or the connector end itself, but perhaps I just don't like change. I wonder if there will be extension cables for sale? Actually the more I think about it, the more I forsee the attached (...) (18 years ago, 28-Feb-07, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

This showed up over on the NXTasy forums, and I thought it might be appreciated here as well. He used a motor to drive the power shaft through the center of a Technic turntable, and a second motor to turn the turntable to engage different sets of (...) (18 years ago, 27-Feb-07, to lugnet.technic)

Thanks Eric and Doug! The shock is to hold the track taught at just the right perimeter. It also allows the track to turn smoothly. The dozer can twist in place (one track in reverse-one forward) on smooth surfaces, but can't do so on carpet since (...) (18 years ago, 27-Feb-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

Good construction, solid looking model. Cool light stalk over the front end plow. I like that shock dampend rear cog. What's that work like? ...and this is a nice pic too! Shows some interesting aspects to your bulldozer: (URL) (18 years ago, 26-Feb-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
