(...) Ah, the pit droid nose. I guess, if you really want to count that one. The thing that really surprised me is that there is a different mold for each wheel character. Especially since there are 16 characters. (25 years ago, 27-Jun-00, to lugnet.technic)

| | Re: Roboriders Game

Speaking of the Robo Rider wheels, has anyone else pondered just how they do all those molds? AFAIK, these are the first pieces where different types/colors or the same part have actually variations in their "shape". As for collecting all 128, now (...) (25 years ago, 26-Jun-00, to lugnet.technic)

Hi Ray, No, 129 is what I counted. You've probably missed the green one in #8000, that's a talsiman wheel as well, although it's of course not listed anywhere. So, you're actually correct, it's only 128 of them to collect, but ... well. Bye, (...) (25 years ago, 26-Jun-00, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I've used two of the little pumps in conjunction with two Air Tanks. I takes 15-20 sec. to fill up the tanks and afterwards you can operate a pneumatic cylinder every 2.5 - 3 sec. for about 15 min. while the compressor is running coutinously. (...)

(...) Since only wanted 2, I opted for Onyx & Power (they have the best merge). Power: Blade & Surge Onyx: Blast (missile launcher guy) and...Blast. So I'd say it's probably random and I got screwed. (25 years ago, 22-Jun-00, to lugnet.technic)

I've seen lots of designs but none have enough power, air-wise. I need pressure and volume! I made a good one once using two of the large spring loaded pumps. But that was using really old technic motors.... the mindstorms motors are much to weak to (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jun-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

Michael, The first set you described sounds like it could be the 8422. I picked it up recently and it is a nice model with 300+ pieces. It is very similar to the blue 8417 motorbike. Keith Blumenthal (...) (25 years ago, 21-Jun-00, to lugnet.technic)
