Hello all, It seems that the bundle discount offer #K10001 "Deluxe Metroliner kit" including a #10001 Metroliner and #10002 Railroad Club Car with 10% savings is going past our noses.

  Mindstorms turning issues
 
So I took my own challenge (from the message a few days back) and tried to build something that turns on carpet but which doesn't have any kind of tank treads. You can find the results here: (URL) only on remote control right now (the Ultimate (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jul-01, to lugnet.loc.ie)
 
  Re: mlcad
 
Hi Ronan, I had meant to reply to Jake's message with a few tips for you to help you along with beginning to use MLCAD, but I forgot until now.

(...) Hm. I've built a dozen or so models now - mostly from instructions on Brickshelf. But on the other hand, it took less than three hours to build the 497, and that's a bigish model.

Hi guys, Any tips on mlcad ? I find I'm too slow to get going i.e. it requires too much effort ;) a lot of it seems wasted, mis-positioning etc I've put together a few simple models but it seemed to take forever so I gave up. Any quick tips to save (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jul-01, to lugnet.loc.ie)

The two kits - Dark Side and Droid - are good from a "wow - cool Star Wars models" perspective. They suck big time when it comes to using the micro-scout for anything else. I built the BattleDroid from the instructions on the Lego web site and then (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jul-01, to lugnet.loc.ie)
