| | | | | (...) Hi Mark, cool stuff! I guess that the ganged switches on the far right are the switch stage, but I don't know what the other two large blocks are, or how they work. One thing I learned early with documenting MOCs, is to never use black when (...) (19 years ago, 15-Oct-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | (...) Hi Kevin, Yes, the bottom right stage is the control stage, with 2 active switches. I left the third one in to keep the stability with the cams and 2L liftarms so that the 1x4 brick with holes moves as a parallelogram. I got into the habit of (...)

I was going to try to draw up a schematic, but I just can't resolve the images. (...) (19 years ago, 16-Oct-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | (...) I'll start a schematic next week as this week is an unusual week at work. That should cover the pneumatic circuit. Basically, each stage gets a feed from the compressor, which goes to the middles of the two switches that drive the next stage (...) (19 years ago, 17-Oct-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
