(...) Definitely. Although it doesn't need to rotate much, I've used such an idea on my bridge (URL) for the main support hinges. Also, as it only takes forces in 1 direction, I've only used 2 corner (macaroni) pieces on one side. The sections of (...) (23 years ago, 27-Nov-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Well... there's always the technic turntables-- you can build on top of them with regular bricks... (URL)... (...) Probably. Although it might be considerably larger in order to get the sturdiness necessary. I know I contemplated it many times (...) (23 years ago, 27-Nov-01, to lugnet.technic)

Is there a way to stop the motor from exerting force on the gear rack once the steering has reached its furthest point? i.e. How do you stop the steering mechanism from going to far? (23 years ago, 27-Nov-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Probably, but I think an easier solution is to have multiple shearing planes on your axle (a normal Technic axle). You can kind of see this idea in my crane: (URL) don't know how much shear force an axle can take, but I know it's quite a bit. (...) (23 years ago, 27-Nov-01, to lugnet.technic)

Hello, When I see those very big cranes, I wonder how the pivoting points at the bottom of the large booms can hold it out. Are two or more beams with a technic axle enough to handle the enormous force ? I was wondering if it's possible to build (...) (23 years ago, 27-Nov-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Couldn't have put it better myself! Except perhaps many thanks! That's really neat, Jeff! I think I've worked out how it all goes together - I'm gonna have to try it out on the weekend! And I'd be interested in details of your 9-speed gearbox (...) (23 years ago, 27-Nov-01, to lugnet.technic)

I made a three speed, fully mechanical, automatic transmission a few weeks ago, and put a description of it on a web page. It uses a locking differential to select the gears, and I've not seen that done in lego before. If you are interested, the URL (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-01, to lugnet.technic) !!

I have two prototype/preproduction "devices" looking for a good home. 1. Generic RCX sensor adapter brick. This little 2x4 brick interfaces between the RCX sensor input and your own sensor design. It does all the hardwork, multiplexing the power and (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
