(...) You're kidding, right? It's almost impossible to build a geartrain using the chain that doesn't have tons of reversal delay. The links seem to be designed in such a way that they don't work well with technic beams and gears. I always have (...) (26 years ago, 5-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

There is one real simple way to eliminate backlash: Use LEGO's 'small-link chain' with their normal gears as sprockets. I paid CAN$7.00 for 135 links from Pitsco-Dacta's Canadian vendor. There is absolutely NO backlash. Mind you, the gearing problem (...) (26 years ago, 5-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

(...) I just found a new mega blok set that is along the lines of what I wish LEGO would make. (URL) course, it looks cheap, the colors stink, there isn't the level of detail I would expect from a Model Team set or want in a Technic set, but its a (...)

Well, with all the fuss over the Droid Escape, I decided to buy a few, and seeing how everyone else was coming up with all these nifty things to use the cylinder bits for, I figured I may as well add to the melee. A while back someone in (...) (26 years ago, 5-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)

(...) Explain 'Hmmm...' :-) I of course omitted the fact that my solution as described produces no mechanical advantage just a shaft going in the opposite direction. Of course, you can always replace the pair of gears on the second shaft with a pair (...) (26 years ago, 5-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

(...) I was going to say this solution is easy, but then I tried it. There are only two shaft's in this example. As lego don't make don't make a 'double width gear' You'd have to use four to make it in lego. All you'd need is three normal 16 tooth (...)
