| first off, I love this micro bot stuff. I highly doubt that people using technic bricks would disapprove of the microbots considering the furious amount of momentum all the builders involved have achieved. Not too mention the dialouge that they have (...) (21 years ago, 7-Apr-03, to lugnet.technic)
