In my latest model I found the same thing. It's a mobile crane with 3 steering axles, 2 front, 1 counter. It would only steer while moving, and still with difficulty. The trick would be to put more gears on, but then steering would be very slow. (...) (26 years ago, 31-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

I have not used the micromotors for any steering assemblies but the geared motors work very well. Using short, low power (and counted so to get back to center easily) pulses I've had no problems either moving or stationary. Getting them to fit into (...) (26 years ago, 31-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) How about putting a rubber band in the groove of the pulley, and have the calipers grip opposide sides (ie accross a diameter)? Not as technically correct, but a lot more stopping power. Or use rubber bands on the calipers themselves? ROSCO (26 years ago, 31-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

I agree. I am not sure who coined the phrase "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" but as my old QC instructor use to say, "if it ain't broke, how do we make it BETTER!" That should be the goal of every Lego fan. After all, this is how we learn and (...) (26 years ago, 30-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

| | How about ideas for new elements?

The threads discussing what new mechanical functions and what new sets we would like in Technic has got me thinking about elements that are logical progressions of existing ones but that don't exist. I often find myself after a version of the 3/4 (...) (26 years ago, 30-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)
