  Re: I wish Lego made an "Anti-Backlash Gear"
 
(...) What set(s) include this "conical" gear? (24 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: I wish Lego made an "Anti-Backlash Gear"
 
It's not so much the "conical" gear that takes the backlash out of the setup that Bob Fay provided links to, but the ability to use the technic axles as torsion springs and keep the gear teeth in the train loaded at all times. That particular gear (...) (24 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

  Superfluous Holes
 
I'm starting a grunge/metal band called the 'Superfluous Holes'. All our song's are going to be about Lego or Lego building. Only joking! What I really wanted to say was why do we need six superfluous holes on every Technic wheel ever produced. Why (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)

  Re: What part is Bob Fay using here?
 
(...) Mmm... I've bought about four of them (or was it two?) from LEGO Service in Europe for about $6 per piece. I did buy (another) two space shuttles for $200 total this weekend, new in box, from a toy store in Sweden (they had another, but I (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: More new pics of 2001 stuff (Lego transforms?!)
 
(...) 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)

  Re: What part is Bob Fay using here?
 
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)

  Re: I wish Lego made an "Anti-Backlash Gear"
 
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)

  I wish Lego made an "Anti-Backlash Gear"
 
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)

Well-well looks like no more polarity reverser availible thru Pistco, I checked out the spare parts pages and - no can find, I guess it's not on the web site , could'nt hurt to ask them, I guess since the Lego Shop at home services has taken a turn (...)

  Re: What part is Bob Fay using here?
 
(...) I don't think the polarity switch is available at Pitsco anymore. I couldn't find it in the printed catalog (BYMM 2001) or on the site. (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)
