Hey, don't blame me if it should fall off though ;-) Speaking of wall climbing robots, does anyone have or seen one of these 4-legged Climb@Tron creatures shown at (URL) look kinda cute especially Vertibug.

IIRC, ABS is a thermoset plastic. The first time you melt it it's workable at a relatively low temp and solidifies nicely, but heating it again won't melt it, only deform it and finally burn it : ( -Xanthra47 Ross Crawford <rcrawford@csi.com> wrote (...) (23 years ago, 6-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic)
