(...) That's not a good reason at all. Robolab was not actually produced by LEGO. They happen to sell it on their website and they "partnered" with the actual producers of the software, Tufts University and National Instruments. They also happen to (...) (21 years ago, 9-Mar-05, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I had posted this locked (or Universal, as we've been calling it internally) list a while back: (URL) don't have, but am looking into, as I get time, the list of "cut" colors. Hope that helps. Jake --- Jake McKee Community Liaison LEGO (...) (21 years ago, 9-Mar-05, to lugnet.color)

(...) I quite like the shape of this MOC (I'll state that I do like the bend in the front), and especially the shaping underneath. The gun is good looking, and the MOC overall does a great job of forming an interesting shape without being too parts (...) (21 years ago, 9-Mar-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)
