(...) Hi Chris, If you just leave the motor on without pressing the red button does it also stop? The battery boxes have a built in current limiter that will stop current flow if you are drawing too much power. Could that be the problem? Kev (19 years ago, 6-Oct-05, to lugnet.technic)

When legs are moving individually, they do so realtively quickly, and then they all move at once, you see a definite lurch in body location. There is (...)

(...) The offset cam will be too tight. I believe Zoltan Schuster and Dennis Bossman have the solution. Turn one beam upsidedown and leave the other right side up This will make the verticle distance between the holes exactly the 45 degree diagonal (...) (19 years ago, 6-Oct-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

At the last robot contest, I discovered that if I press down on either side of the battery box red switch, the power stops. It is hard to put into words. If you hook up a motor to this battery box: (URL) press the red button, the motor spins. if (...) (19 years ago, 6-Oct-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Thanks for your suggestions. I have a number of restrictions for this specific design... but have been wondering in general the best way. (So far I think Mark has the best suggestion using an offset cam). For this specific project I am (...) (19 years ago, 6-Oct-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) Do the two beams need to be studded? Bracing two studless beams could be a lot easier, not as high either. If you can show us what you are trying to fit this into, I'm sure someone here will come up with the solution. :) Cheers, Chris. (19 years ago, 6-Oct-05, to lugnet.technic)

I have vaguely followed your pneumatic threads, watching the cool diagrams and devices, but I will admit you lost me a while back with this. (...)

(...) How many studs of overlap can you have? Also, how much space can you have on the sides? A tacky way to solve the problem would be to run a string through the holes in a spiral type fasion and then tie the ends together. Hey; no one can say it (...)

(...) You could try a cam with an offset of 1 hole sideways along the beams - the distance between the offset holes is about 1.5L (12mm). Use the hole in the middle of the large end of the cam as well as the hole at the small end. You probably need (...) (19 years ago, 5-Oct-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
