With the exception of the tunnel vignette which came in one piece, they all had to be assembled a bit, but not too much. 2. In the (...) (21 years ago, 10-Mar-05, to lugnet.build.vignette, FTX)

(...) The difference is a really bright line. All of the examples you quote are to do with non-standard things ending up inside the robot. NQC DOESN'T end up inside the robot. Using NQC instead of RIS is no different from using a pocketknife to (...) (21 years ago, 10-Mar-05, to lugnet.robotics)
