(...) Wow, the specs for the Microproto look much better than the training machines we use in my CNC class here at school. I think they're Enco...not sure. Anyway, their max RPM is 2000, which means that parts take forever to mill, and we can only (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I see most of our MOCs as a combination of Model Team and Technic. I try not to classify what belongs where, and if it's questionable, then I'll just post to both MT and Technic groups :-) I think most of us that read Technic also watch the MT (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Like wise it does not need to be motorized or in Technic scale and I think the crane is Technic, perhaps not "very" but still Technic. Same goes for Thomas bridge. (...) Makes me think where to draw the line in Technic. If the models purpose (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I'm sure any definition of Technic wouldn't require the model to actually move. In fact being mainly built of beams I'd catagorise T.J's bridge as being very Technic indeed. I've alway avoided trying to come up with a definition for what is (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Take a look at Thomas Truss bridge: (URL) tell me how your working crane with Technic parts in it can be less Technic then Thomas (almost) stationary bridge? :) Alhtough I agree it could be _more_ Technic with perhaps a micro motor to drive (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

Hey man thanks for the joint pics!! Those joints remind me alot of the Alpha Team arm-thingies. Those are going to be fun to tinker with!! As for you getting those sets, you are one lucky guy. I work at Wal-mart and got busted snooping through the (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

Hi Don, If your gear train does not require too much torque, you could try using two rubber wheels as bevel gears. By having one tire ride on the face of the other wheel, you can get any fractional ratio you want. I've once seen a car in a museum (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)
