(...) Hmm, I will add my voice in saying thanks for the pics. Definitely interesting. I agree that I would prefer to have connector terminals on active bricks, and not permanently attached cables. What also I find awkward is that we now have (...) (18 years ago, 28-Feb-07, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

(...) I can't say that I am a fan of the "permanent wires" or the connector end itself, but perhaps I just don't like change. I wonder if there will be extension cables for sale? Actually the more I think about it, the more I forsee the attached (...) (18 years ago, 28-Feb-07, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

This showed up over on the NXTasy forums, and I thought it might be appreciated here as well. He used a motor to drive the power shaft through the center of a Technic turntable, and a second motor to turn the turntable to engage different sets of (...) (18 years ago, 27-Feb-07, to lugnet.technic)

Thanks Eric and Doug! The shock is to hold the track taught at just the right perimeter. It also allows the track to turn smoothly. The dozer can twist in place (one track in reverse-one forward) on smooth surfaces, but can't do so on carpet since (...) (18 years ago, 27-Feb-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) I rarely post anything on Lugnet, but felt I had to this time. I love this model. I like that all the controls are inside the cabin, the hoses are neatly managed, and pneumatics are used for all aspects of maneuvering the shovel. Excellent (...) (18 years ago, 27-Feb-07, to lugnet.technic)

Good construction, solid looking model. Cool light stalk over the front end plow. I like that shock dampend rear cog. What's that work like? ...and this is a nice pic too! Shows some interesting aspects to your bulldozer: (URL) (18 years ago, 26-Feb-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) It's big and impressive! How do you stick the 1x6 plates onto the chain links? And are you going to train a rat to drive it? I'd like to see movies when you do! (18 years ago, 26-Feb-07, to lugnet.technic)

It isn't remote control like TLC's design, but a trained rat could drive it. (URL) me know what you think. (18 years ago, 26-Feb-07, to lugnet.technic) !
