| | | I've seen a website somewhere... A guy has done some real good testing (with help of RCX) regarding the performance of several pneum. pumps. Simple conclusion: the small one from Lego is the best, just use that one and leave the large ones with (...) (24 years ago, 29-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)

I think we have all been badly misled by the picture of the Recycler on the bottom of the RIS 1.0 box which (...) (24 years ago, 30-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

| | | | Yea, I kinda figured the big punp wasn't too good for the compresor pump. I did see that on your page, but I figured I'd try it anyhow. Part of my problem (and I'm kinda ashamed to say it) is that is actually the only pump I own, large or small. (...) (24 years ago, 30-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

Air-cushioned platforms require air pumps. Purchase justified. Matthias Jetleb (...) (24 years ago, 1-May-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
