Lego Cable Excavator

A cable hoe or mechanical excavator, made of Lego. Uses two XL motors and one Medium motor, two IR receivers and of course a 9v battery box. For some odd reason the rear winch kept winding its cable onto the front one, therefore stopping the arm from moving properly.

This kind of excavator design (cable operated)was used before hydraulics came into use on excavators. Still, these excavators can be seen derelict or restored on shows etc. In Estonia these are widely used on peat fields with clam-shell attachments or with buckets for cleaning trench faces.

[bladerizer]

They are not in spanish; it's estonian. We had a discussion over the motors.. exactly where to get them.

aga sa ei tea kust saaks neid eraldi osta?

[bladerizer]

On olemas set 8293, milles on enamik IR asju olemas... Aga ilma talade jms värgita ei tee nende mootoritega eriti midagi.
