Subject: [alt-beam] Re: The "G" word! Now the great walker material


I have i nice vice that i steal, i mean borrow from my dad that i used, i
started with some smaller drill bits, and moved up till i had the hole big
enough! The gears on them RM-1's don't mesh very well with those friggin
gears, so i put heat shrink over the gears (almost 4 layers) and made it into
a friction drive, i have it so that 1 half doesn't quite grip the gear, that
what you can spin it over on that side so the gears spin freely! GOOD LUCK!

On to my next topic, i found this awesome 1/8 aluminum tubing that i'm gonna
use for my walker frame. I found it at a locally owned hobby store, one of
those rare ones that still has models in it that you have to paint. Its easy
to bend, but not too easy, and its lighter than most heavy 1/8 in. gauge
wire. Just thought i'd tell you guys out there who hate using jumbo paper
clips!

this series of tests within the next week. umm...i think one major thing i'll
change is a suggestion that Bruce put up, i'm going to give categories that
people can put their bots in, e.g. photopopper w/sensors, photopopper
wo/sensors, beamant, solar walker, battery, no battery, etc. Anywho, i'll
also be designing different RJP configurations as well. I plan on being as
thorough as possible, so it might be finalized and complete by the middle of
April. But there should be a decently upgraded update soon! THANKS A TON!

New Page 1Here's a terrific walker simulator which animates and edits two d=
imensional models made out of masses and springs. Play around with the cre=
atures gravity, friction, and muscle movements to keep your bio-synthetic c=
reatures scrambling around... Let me know what you think!
