Adder/Subtractor

This is useful for various applications. For instance, when you build a treaded vehicle (in Dutch: rupsvoertuig, literally `caterpillar vehicle' - presumably since the treads resemble this animal), such as a construction bulldozer, you'd like one motor to control total motion, and the other the turning. This construction does that: connect the treads to the (A+B) and (A-B) axles, and the motors to A and B. Now motor A makes the vehicle go forward or backward, and B turns it left or right. Of course you can also run them simultaneously. Another application is a crane, in which you need the same effect: one motor to lower/raise the bucket, the other to open the it. When putting these three layers together (the "ON" arrows), you need to separate them by 2/3-height bricks.

The above is for clarity. You can also place it vertically, but I found I needed to use a chain to get the gears to connect properly. Klocki - LEGO Bricks for Adults. Brickley. Awesome LEGO Monsters and Aliens Sculptures. | 15 Comments The LEGO Company has always produced very good looking sets. They have even created some expensive and hard to build outstanding collectors’ sets like this impressive Millennium Falcon . The Brothers Brick. Adder substractor. These are some pictures of a robotic platform that I built using the plans for the adder/subtracter found on Leo's Lego .

Adder substractor

While I'm using the basic ideas from the design, I've changed it in many ways. My design has all of the gears in one layer (mostly because this allowed me to reduce the number of gears required). One bad apart about this is that the inputs are now on opposite sides of the adder/subtractor, so the final robotic platform looks a little funny (it has one motor in the front and one in the rear). To make my platform work I also had to make two 5-unit axles (by cutting one 10-unit axle in half). The platform allows you the robot to get the normal four motions (forward, reverse, spin left, spin right) with a perfectly straight forward and reverse. Note that the robot as shown isn't very strong. Importing and Rendering LEGO 3D Data. How To Import, Render & Re-Export LEGO® 3D Data from "LDraw" .dat & .ldr Files For those who are not aware of the fact, there is a huge community of people and WEB sites dedicated to the modeling, rendering and documentation of LEGO models and how to build them.

Importing and Rendering LEGO 3D Data

The following tutorial was written to educate the visitors to the Okino WEB site, and Okino software customers, about the existence of this 3D graphics world of LEGO models, and second, to show how this vast wealth of LEGO 3D parts and model data can be converted into a format most often used by Okino software customers. As serious as the rest of the Okino WEB site is to our professional customers, we thought we would write this interesting and off beat tutorial for those who still yearn for their earlier days of playing with LEGO.

It is based around the original design of the Lotus Seven, which ended production many years ago. Caterham have made modifications to the design over the years, but it remains closely related to the original Lotus design. Colin Chapman, the late founder of Lotus Cars, believed stongly in the principle of keeping his cars as light and as simple as possible. LEGO muscle cars and engines. Project Argosy.
