  Re: SSCorpion
 
(...) We could make this eaily with a Technic Turntables. Depends on how you will create the legs. It will be your decision. (...) Uggg, I don't have that many! :( I know I'm talking like I have got it all, but I still gotta give Rob Limbaugh some. (...) (21 years ago, 13-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: SSCorpion
 
(...) Steve, I think its cool too because you have experience at obtaining objectives like with the Robotics Challanges you have participated in. As well as you own work. (...) A nice quad pivot pattern with opposesing sweep movements alternating to (...) (21 years ago, 13-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  Re: The Clague - Sophie Project
 
(...) Funny you should mention this. As I was waking up the other day, I thought of making a pneumatic transformer that sequenced itself through the transormations processes. (...) Kevin (21 years ago, 13-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  Re: SSCorpion
 
(...) Actually we want it to stand on its front legs. This brings the tail forward. Scorpions sting forward with their tails, so we need to lower the front end and raise the backend, plus curl the tail forward more than normal. (...) If we add a (...) (21 years ago, 13-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) With four polarity reversors (16 pneumo switches), we can make it walk forward, backward, turn right or left.

  Re: The Clague - Sophie Project
 
(...) I'd love to see you make something (probably small, due to pneumatics use) that's capable of utilizing the pneumatics to make a walker that actually moves... If you go all the way back to Junkyard Wars, season 1--the grand finale of the show (...) (21 years ago, 12-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) Hi Brian, I figured there would be plenty of lurkers and non-so lurkers on this topic. One of our goals is to have the scorpion turn in place. Hex242 could do this, and it will be easy to make SSClagorpion (Eric's choice for name) do this as (...) (21 years ago, 13-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: SSCorpion
 
(...) Well, since nobody has objected, let me just say up front... PLEASE keep it on-line. I agree with Steve, this is fun (and that's just as a spectator). With regards to Steves question about "decoupling" the left and right sides, Kevin, could (...) (21 years ago, 13-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic)
