 | | Power Functions Steering with automatic center return
|
|
I have come up with a method of automatic center return for steering. I have done some experimenting with the hockey slap shot springs before, but have never had success.

This model is very cleverly photographed. I can't get a sense of the scale. How large is this model? I saw on your website that the wheels you use are larger than the wheels typically found in sets these days. I wonder if they are anything like the (...)

Hi Eric Thank you for your nice comments. (...) The model itself was quite a quick build because I only had a few weeks time to finish it for its first show. But afterwards it took me almost two years to make all the functions work properly. Beat (17 years ago, 29-Feb-08, to lugnet.technic)

Dennis, it is ALWAYS a treat to see the incredible MOCs you create. This is again a stunning example of how well done your works are. I would say more, but I really prefer to go study what you have made! Eric Sophie (17 years ago, 27-Feb-08, to lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.technic)

Good lord! That is going to be some monster project! The forces and scale involved is quite impressive. Is that monorail track as the main pivoting guide? *faints* Eric Sophie (17 years ago, 27-Feb-08, to lugnet.technic)

Really great work, excellent end effector solution. Eric (...) (17 years ago, 27-Feb-08, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
