(...) Did anyone else notice that on the packaging for the adult dinosaurs they include pictures of other dinosaurs you can build with each set. But the pictures are heade by the term TRANSFORMS. This seems to me not only misleading but also a cheap (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.technic.bionicle)

Well, I don't think I wanna spend that kind of dough to get one of them. I haven't bought a space shuttle yet just because of the price, but I think, if it comes with two polarity switches, I might have to break down and get it now... After all, (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)

The closest thing to an anti-backlash gear is the Conical gear (a misnomer). It can be used to load a gear train. I have used this in a design by Iain Hendry. (URL) have tried using a second motor in the gear train with a slight reverse current. (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

Tech question for us: Any body know what an Anti-Backlash gear is? If Lego made one, we would all have super precise Robots and mechanisisms! BERG carries them... Anybody know what I'm talking about? (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

I guess it's called a 'polarity switch' I did about a million different searches to try and find one, and there's one for sale at a Norwegian brickbay store for $12, and I'm wondering if that's worth it...you say I can find it from pitsco? Do they (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)
