I'm a Senior Software Developer. I strive to be a polymathic person interested in a range of subjects which positions me as an Innovator, Problem Solver and Solution Designer.

I gained a broad set of experiences by programming since 1993 in different fields of engineering application. With a speciality in computer vision & CAD, I’m also the inventor of a US patent-pending algorithm in the field of Facility Management.

My current technology focus is on Cloud Computing, mobile computing and HPC. At home I do math, robotics and sculpting.

Oct 30	comment	How strong are blocks in general - is adhesive necessary when building large structures? Gluing Lego should be a crime :)

Oct 29	comment	How would you make a good pivot-arm suspension? I'm not sure I understand your design. Would this behave like a rocker-bogie suspension? (like the MER rovers). I don't see which gears are really connecting. Can you clarify the sketch?
Oct 29	comment	How would you make a good pivot-arm suspension? I was thinking along the lines of a Slewing Bearing. I've seen designs like that used for massive Lego tower cranes. This gives me an idea [off to the Lego boxes]...
Oct 29	comment	How would you make a good pivot-arm suspension? This was my first option but it would have snapped under the weight of the two sides. I've added a picture of the wheel size that I'm using. Imagine that plus a motors and gears on each side plus the structure. The single axle design would not survive (unless it supplemented with some other support).

Oct 29	comment	How would you make a good pivot-arm suspension? @Joubarc I tried two different Lego turntables with the same results. To be sure, I'll look into the part like you're suggesting. Still, I think that there was way to much torsion (perpendicular to the turntable plane) applied to it and this is why I'm asking around for other design ideas (before I do this with non-Lego parts).
