    Ok,no you should not suspension.Would I be right in thinking if you build a four sided robot then it would be harder to steer than a three sided robot,as the wheels are at 90 degrees?
  6. Alasdair Ryan
    But if you used a tilt sensor and some motors to level the body of the robot,it might work.

    How feasible would it be to make something that could climb stairs? Making something that travels on flat ground will not need suspension,but one idea if you wanted suspension is not to use springs but make each axle "float". Stair Climbing Robot

    I am posting this as an example for anyone interested,it is an example of using buffer exchange and Lpub commands to "Hold Position" of rotation of a beam in the first step. While holding we insert a new piece to the model, finally we then rotate the first part. We hold position of the parts in the first step twice,one is used for the adding the second piece and the other is used for rotating the beam. Due to copying the first buffer twice some parts need to be removed from the part callout.

    If I owned that set It would not have been built anyway.

    I was not the best video ever,I much prefer that style of camera.What makes it faster is having a view cube like in inventor which you can use to resit the views. If this style camera setup was really that good it would be found in other 3d modelling environments, I have also used blender and 3DSmax.
  14. Alasdair Ryan
    Amazing Crane,that will be going into the HOF......I wonder if we can get you a technic badge as well.I do not know why you have not got one already.
  15. Alasdair Ryan
    I know about the camera modes,the ribbon style is what the Autodesk programs use.I think there needs to be a "view cube" instead of that "grid view" presently. I am speaking of a ribbon layout because of all the features you could easily have ie: colours,grid setting,camera settings,sub models,instructions,animation,bendable parts etc.... I made a of me in inventor,I don't know if you will get any ideas but perhaps a "quick align feature" similar to the "constraints" might be a good feature.
  16. Alasdair Ryan
    Its a combination of the camera being "hard" to use ,part orantation and the menus. I want to shot a quick video of me using inventor "assembling something" that might explain better where I am coming from.
  17. Alasdair Ryan
    For Version 1.6 or 1.7 is there any chance of a complete new UI which is comparable with one of the professional modelling tools? Truth is any time I want to quickly make something I would much rather use LDD or MLcad,Your program had the "features" minus selection,but rather falls down on the whole user experience.
  18. Alasdair Ryan
    I will fix that.....The one above got hurt when it fly into my window,must of broke both feet.
  19. Alasdair Ryan
    I just saw this fly past my window.....

    For those who are interested,you can watch me finish instructions for Grohls bluebird here.
  21. Alasdair Ryan
    I will make instructions for you. Watch

    I think I would drive both turntables rather than one (but you could just use a axle).
  23. Alasdair Ryan
    Great review Jim.
  24. Alasdair Ryan
    Very nice little moc.
  25. Alasdair Ryan
    Lucky Bricklink shop owners,I guess you could not use the newer version with slot?
