Rokenbok

Basics

• A Construction Toy from ~1990s
• Mad some construction aspects like lego etc, but it's main "thing" was the rc controlled vehicles
• Various ones:
  • A Forklift
  • An Earth Mover
  • A M o n o r a i l
  • A Crane
• Fell apart, and company is mostly dead
• Similar to the Models of OSE Devices , and can be used as a stepping stone to get to that

Phases of work

Phase 1

• Hacking the "smart port" on the rokenbok rc tower
• Mess around with that for a bit

Phase 2

• CAD of the system
• Modify to be more 3D Print-able if needed

Phase 3

• Make OSE Models in a similar style that are compatible with the Rokenbok System

  • A Followup on the above project post is archeived so even thread necromancy can't save it. Curreently reaching out to the person on their design.
