(...) Yeah, sorry about that. The resolution of my JamCam isn't so good. I went back and re-edited the pics some- I couldn't do much about the detail, but I did work the graininess out them. I love the (...) Thanks. I think those torso parts are (...) (22 years ago, 20-May-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, lugnet.technic.bionicle)

(...) Hey John, are you thinking of recording any of these sessions to maybe put a transcript up on the BrickFest site (or wherever)? That'd be *really* cool for those of us who can't get there... ROSCO (22 years ago, 20-May-02, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

(...) Hey there, Todd! v3.0 might be the best redesign of a MOC I've seen in some time, though I've got the same problem as Chris-fuzzypicitis. I love the inclusion of the Bohrok parts into this design, espacially the torso parts. It adds a level of (...) (22 years ago, 19-May-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, lugnet.technic.bionicle)

(...) I've always liked the shocktrooper design; I feel it's one of the more innovative mecha that use the Throwbot ball an sockets. This one looks very nice, too. One thing, though - any chance of higher quality pictures? There are hints of detail (...) (22 years ago, 19-May-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, lugnet.technic.bionicle)

(...) The main problem comes from the heat generated. This isn't a problem, unless you're driving motors fairly constantly with your RCX, but can eventually cause the diodes to break down. Of course, when one half of the rectifier goes, you can (...) (22 years ago, 19-May-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

The current is going through two silicon diodes though, with attendant .5 volt drop through each so consider if that will be a problem in this application. Likely its not. (...) Tom Napolitano tomnap@bersama.net (22 years ago, 18-May-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

(...) I'd be a little surprised at a bridge rectifier which couldn't accept DC. Many electronic appliances have them these days so that it doesn't really matter what kind of wall wart you use, so long as the voltage is in the right range. The wall (...)

I even believe sincerely that it's what I said. :-) I am not sure who exactly within LEGO first recommended it but if you dig hard enough in lugnet.robotics I believe you will find just such a recommendation.... that (...)
