| | Vision Command plus Control Center

I'm using my Vision Command as my PC camera, its great. I had the idea of using one of my old 8485 Technic Control Centers to control the swiveling camera, instead of an RCX--its easy and great. I use the N E W S button to position my camera while i (...) (25 years ago, 3-Sep-00, to lugnet.technic)

A technic site, two guys had built a big black crane thing out of lego. All of a sudden, I wasn't (...) (25 years ago, 2-Sep-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic)

Very nice solution. But we're building a bicycle, not a car!! Differentials are ungodly bulky things, but for technical accuracy, they might do the trick!! Have to upgrade the elephant cyclist to a hippo or whale now! ;-) Cheers ... Geoffrey Hyde (...) (25 years ago, 2-Sep-00, to lugnet.technic)

I have a solution for the coasting problem. This method allows the wheel to move without the pedals moving and even allows the wheels to move forward if the pedals are moving backwards. The pedals drive one axle of a differential. The other axle of (...) (25 years ago, 2-Sep-00, to lugnet.technic)
