 Mechanical Masterpiece: LEGO Technic - Tora no Maki!

 James on Tuesday 16 October 2007 - 18:49:46 
toranomaki.png This is a must have for anyone interested in building mechanisms with LEGO for robotics or otherwise. The 200+ pages of LEGO Technic Tora no Maki hold more than 300 mechanisms made from more than 1700 images.

The author ISOGAWA Yoshihito is only asking for a $10 donation if you find his massive work useful. I personally had no problem justifying that expenditure.

Topics covered include:

  • Gears
  • Bracing
  • Pulleys
  • Walking mechanisms
  • Magnets
  • Springs
  • Differentials
  • and many many more...
