  Re: LEGOdometer
 
(...) Even with that explaination, I just can't seem to get the spacing and the gearing right between the dials. If you have the time, please, I would like a visual aid of the between walls and the between-dials gearing. When I first saw this, I (...)

  Re: NXT remote control by Power Functions handset
 
Hi Jürgen, (...) Yes, that should work, placing it in the converter. Current in the receiver used as a sensor is very low, so the voltage drop in the Schottky would be low too. Maybe it would need some trimming of resistors values. Philo (15 years ago, 8-Mar-10, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: NXT remote control by Power Functions handset
 
Hi Philippe (...) Nice idea! W.r.t. the warning against using an NXT to PF converter: You could try adding a Schottky diode in the power supply line to protect the 4.3V supply of the NXT against somebody connecting 9V. The question is whether it (...) (15 years ago, 7-Mar-10, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

I suppose they would get discouraged if they saw everything we can come up with. However, (...) (15 years ago, 21-Feb-10, to lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  Re: Leonardo da Vinci Flyer
 
Congratulations, this is a wonderful creation! It's inexplicable to me that it isn't among the 10 finalists. (15 years ago, 21-Feb-10, to lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  Re: Where you all at?
 
(...) The LEGO Group used to claim TECHNIC as a trademark, as recently as 2006 (that I could find online). We've always used it in all caps (as well as BIONICLE, BTW) on LUGNET (such as in the set database) because it was the proper way to write it (...) (15 years ago, 18-Feb-10, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  Re: Where you all at?
 
As far as I know, "LEGO Technic" is not a registered trademark by LEGO, and thus it has been decided to write it as "Technic" which means without capital letters. If you remember old logo, used also lowercase letters. Don't know however, why TLG has (...) (15 years ago, 17-Feb-10, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
