  1. Unfortunately it doesn't look like ill be able to get one of them anymore, from all accounts they're pretty dodgy too and don't last long. Ill just modify a power functions motor to suit, not sure what the advantage is of using one of them. I can't imagine they would have much power.
  2. Thanks for the quick reply, ill see if i can track them down and buy them over the internet. Might be hard to come by though.
  3. Any idea what the parts are labelled ' R ' on this set of instructions?
  4. Hello everyone, Its been a while since i last joined a lego forum, probably going back to the early 2000's when i was an avid lego mindstorms robotics invention system fan. Im not hugely impressed by the upgrade from RCX 2.0 to NXT/EV3, i think we're are limited to certain projects compared to what we had with the early generation of mindstorms. Anyhow I've always been a huge technic fan, so recently I've stocked up on technic sets: Excavator (42006), Mobile Crane MK II (42009), Pick up truck (42029) and I'm waiting to receive the Volvo L350F (42030), not to mention power functions and more pneumatics (personal favourite) to add to my collection. But ever since i was a kid one creation has stuck with me up until now, until just recently i managed to track it down. The Cyberarm IV created by Hideaki 'Joda' Yabuki. Now I'm only 25, so I'm hoping theres a few veterans here that remember 'Master Joda' and his amazing creations mixed with technic and Mindstorms, he was a legend of the lego world. The problem is the old mindstorms forum has closed down from what i gather so theres no way of seeing this masterpiece in action. By chance has anyone followed the instructions and made it? Im currently in the process of gathering all the parts to build it myself albeit substituting the 2 RCX's for power functions. Once i receive my 6 turntables in the post I'm just about ready to go. Regards, Maras Also if someone could tell me the parts labelled ® in the diagram it would be much appreciated. Im not too concerned if i don't use them but I'm intrigued because I've never come across them before. Any idea where i could find them?
