I just watched the videos and the DAT files: really impressive! The chassis is just packed with gears. I really like the way you positionned the motors in the chassis. I need to lean to slow down when building my models. I get about half-way done, (...) (23 years ago, 2-May-01, to lugnet.technic)

Jennifer, Excellent model...when do you start work at LEGO designing their kits!!! I also want to know how I can get a hold of one of those remote control kits? ===== Steven B. Combs, M.S.,C.I.T. Associate Professor / Instructional Technologist Ivy (...) (23 years ago, 2-May-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I do indeed have multiple versions of various parts of the model, and the number of attempts needed varies considerably. I probably need about 3 to 8 steps for relatively simple parts, but this will increase if, for example, there are other (...) (23 years ago, 3-May-01, to lugnet.technic)

This is very much my approach I'll try a way, and exhaust its possibilities before attacking the problem from another direction, sometimes working backwords, destroying earlier solutions that worked just fine before. This was particularly true of my (...) (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.technic)
