Here is something I've been wanting to make for a long time, finally made possible by an amazing design for "Mecanum wheels" due to Zblj over at (URL) Eurobricks>. (3 URLs) Mecanum wheels are similar to "omniwheels" except that the small wheels are (...) (14 years ago, 26-Nov-10, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !!

(...) Very nice implementation! How robust is the construction with the curved bricks? I would think this might come apart over time... Looking forward to seeing the GBC application! (14 years ago, 26-Nov-10, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

(...) (URL) is an old thread, but looks like there are some hard facts that LEGO is aware of Technic being more popular in Europe than the US. Read the details in the URL I provided above. LEGO has not figured out how to tap into the US market and (...) (14 years ago, 20-Nov-10, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Aren't you a bit obsessed by time? ;o) Very nice clock! I don't see how you wind-up the pull back motors - perhaps a true windup motor such as (URL) would have been easier to use? Philo (14 years ago, 7-Oct-10, to lugnet.technic)

I connected two pull-back motors to create a "wind-up" clock that indicates minutes and seconds and will run for about 30 minutes on one winding. (URL) More pictures, links and a (...)
