Cat Road Grader

Since this project is more Technic for now. It could use nxt but in the end it would be just R/c too. Even X2 started out P/F Technic but it has a need for robotic control, just way to hard to drive a Biped. So since Grader may be in the end just a technic model I hope here in the "open" f...

Re: kinohaguruma's Robots in Wood

that is amazind. especially because he used wood. by the way what is your next project? Well nothing too new, X-2 has went through some major and minor upgrades added 1 more Dof so now it can turn in a zero condition. So the hips are what I can discribe as a "claw shell design" they can o...

Re: Synchro Drive

I would as sugjected do alot of research. If one plans ahead he is less likely to lose ground as he move forward. Ok, so say you have found nothing at least no one seems to have went the path you have made. Now what? It is up to you, make a moke up, then protype and refine. In the end you will have ...

Re: where can i get a lego turntable gear

If you make an account you can make lists of parts for projects and then see wht the going prices are all around the world. ed...
