Very nice work, Philo! I like the clever compact design, and that you have made something truly playable. TLC should do something like this! I worry a bit about the knocks to the battery box switch and the connector when it falls over though... (...) (17 years ago, 24-Nov-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) I'm enjoying it- I'd enjoy instructions even more! How are your controls working? You control each motor with one IR channel, right? So you have to convert linear-to-holonomic in your head? In real time? (17 years ago, 24-Nov-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

Thank you very much for the nice comments! Here at last are some videos of the Killough platform in action (sorry for poor quality). The first three show various motions, starting with the three basic ones: backwards/forwards, sideways, and turning (...) (17 years ago, 24-Nov-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) So far I have not listed any re-editions, only original releases. When I write the detailed page for 8460, I will list the alternate numbers (it was released 3 times). There are several other sets which were also re-released. Eric blakbird (17 years ago, 23-Nov-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
