| | | | | I don't know what you're using there for the quicktime player but it came out all corrupted and blotchy here, and caused an error in my quicktime player causing it to shut down. What version of quicktime are you using there? (19 years ago, 29-Sep-05, to lugnet.technic)

Maybe it is encoded with a newer codec? -- (URL) - Build Robots (19 years ago, 30-Sep-05, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | | | | | (...) Most of the noise is coming from the 'crowd', the part that pushes the bucket back and forth. It uses a bunch of 40, 24 and 8 tooth gears to do it's thing: (URL) And they make a ton of noise, the gears. The motors there do not have built-in (...)

| | | | | | | | (...) Cool. Could you get less noise and a reduction in space using a worm gear? I seem to remember them being less efficient, but they would give good reduction, and should lower the noise considerably, although they may require placing motors (...)

The 'crowd' has two motors and transmissions and I had already used one worm (...) (19 years ago, 30-Sep-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

| | | | | | | | (...) Ah - understandable. I actually stocked up on them from bricklink, as I so often found them useful. I admit - I tend to agree with you on the noise making it "larger than life". Any chance of videos of the upgraded hoist then? One other thing (...) (19 years ago, 1-Oct-05, to lugnet.technic)

It did not work when I tried to view it in the browser window. Hope that helps, Ben (19 years ago, 30-Sep-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
