Excellent engine and great video! I made the same engine a few years ago. I remember showing my wife the progress every so often, and the day I had it running she said "DID YOU MAKE THAT?" I guess it surprised her that i could make all those parts move in unision :big:

Thanks all!

Thanks Dave, appreciate it.

Andrew - the "snow shoe robot thingie" is a small penguin-shaped robot which utilizes a programmable Basic Stamp microprocessor made by Parallax.

IronHorse - My wife is always amazed by every little part I make. She's great. This one does have a lot of tiny parts. Now my vision is blurry.

Zee - thanks. I took all the shots with my new little Flip video camera. It's the size of an iPhone, takes HD (720p) video and only costs $169. If you put yours away, go buy that one.

Thanks Robert. As for the Happy Dance, do you have any idea how hard it is to find free Calliope music on the web?

MB - All four of my builds so far have been runners. My fear is after spending what I know will be a great deal of time and effort on the Upshur, there's a good chance it won't run, especially after what I've been reading here. But I will forge ahead as that one is now my primary target. Upshur sure did make it sound easy to build, didn't he?

That's just BRILLIANT Trout :bow: :bow: :bow:.........................MGM Eat Your Heart Out. ;D

Best Regards

Thanks Guys. I would have been very disappointed if this one didn't run because then I couldn't have made the video.

Trout, I didn't mean to put the pressure on. I was just kidding around. You do first class work, and I'm sure the Upshur build will be up to standard with the rest of your accomplishments. I think there's a very good chance that your engine 'will' run. But, Its up to you to 'make' it run. If it was easy it wouldn't be any fun!

Great version of Elmer's design Trout, but I knew that early on. The video sets a new standard in creativity though...I'm with Zee....video camera? what video camera? I don't have no video camera!! :big: Seriously a great job on both!!!
