 | | Solar-Powered Hexapod Walker
|
|
I built a simple solar-powered hexapod last weekend with some new parts I ordered from Pitsco. The walker is quite slow, using the LEGO solar cell to power a 5225 9V motor, which drives a worm gear coupled directly to a 24T gear. I've found the LEGO (...)

The big 4X4...there's that big one (8466 methinks), and a $39 smaller one (8465 iirc)...do they come out at roughly the same time? or does one come out before the other one? Anyone heard a date for release? Beuller? Beuller? (24 years ago, 20-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) The Cybermaster is a pretty big unit. It's turquoise, and the same width & depth as an RCX, but about 2/3 longer. I only just bought the Cybermaster (£50 at amazon.co.uk - bargain!), and I didn't really know what to expect - Fyi, the (...) (24 years ago, 20-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

Hi Simon, In the first instance, call LEGO Consumer Services on 08457 080070. If you explain the problem, they will almost certainly send you a replacement. The micromotors seem to have a habit of jamming: I've destroyed one myself, trying to find (...) (24 years ago, 19-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

Contact Lego, they are very good about replacing damaged parts. I buy alot of Lego and have only had problems with sets a few times, but lego has always been very good about replacing the bad parts. Derek (24 years ago, 19-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

Hi I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question but... I just picked up a 6979 in The Entertainer for £20 because it has a few useful bits and one of these is a micromotor... but... it doesn't work. The battery box and the cables are (...) (24 years ago, 19-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but it seems like what offends you about Bionicle is mostly with the collectible aspect. However, that aspect of Bionicle is limited to two products AFAIK -- the mask packs and the card game. Speaking as an AFOL who does (...) (24 years ago, 19-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)

Michael is right, the missing gear from the pump can appear in four different locations underwater. It's random every time you play.
