  Re: #*@#!!! I can't get in anymore.
 
Try this address: (URL) that you don't need to login with a Club ID to play, only to have it save your position automatically -- that's the reason behind the "machination," it's so you can save. It's not clear enough at the moment that you don't (...) (24 years ago, 20-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)
 
  #*@#!!! I can't get in anymore.
 
Ever since lego changed the page so that it requires a club id to get in, I've been shut out. All I get is a screen saying the server can't process my request. Anyone out there know a work around or have an address behind the login I could go to? (...) (24 years ago, 20-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)

(...) [snip] (...) [snip] (...) Yep, besides using the "normal" Light->LightSensor type of comms, the direct electric connection is possible too, by using NQC's Off() and Float() commands, you simulate the ON/OFF state of a TouchSensor. This way, (...) (24 years ago, 20-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

  Re: Solar-Powered Hexapod Walker
 
Thanks for the info on the solor cell and capacitor, I've been wondering how well they work. Gary BTW: nice bot! Micah J. Mabelitini <micahx@kih.net> wrote in message news:3AB7204C.1AAE5E...kih.net... (...) (24 years ago, 20-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic, lugnet.dacta)
 
  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 (...)

  When do(es) the new car(s) come out?
 
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)
 
  Re: RCX & Cybermaster (VLL comms and MicroScout)
 
(...) Thx, Marco. I'm investigating! btw, Do you mean that they communicate through a standard lead attached to sensor inputs, say, or some other electrical connection? Interesting that the CM can't communicate at speed, but the MS & CP will. I'd (...) (24 years ago, 20-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: RCX & Cybermaster
 
(...) 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)
 
  Re: Analogue Control of Pneumatics

  Re: Non functioning Micromotor.
 
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)
 
  Re: Non functioning Micromotor.
 
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)
 
  Re: Non functioning Micromotor.
 
(...) Yes, and it is simple. Call LEGO, customer service number or S@H number will do, and they will direct you to the Consumer Affairs Dept. Describe the set by number, part broken and if you can which step in the instructions shows it. They will (...) (24 years ago, 19-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Non functioning Micromotor.
 
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)

  Re: I just don't get it.
 
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)
