(...) Ok, yea, a bit of bevel would help a lot (even if it technically isn't quite enough, LEGO can give some to absorb minor imperfections). Of course if they had been very, very, very clever, they would have figured out how to have the stud height (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.schleim)

(...) That is very neat. I've used the ends of these brackets before in a similar way to do tight lettering on a Caledonian Railway 4MT (2-6-4 steam engine), but I've never been able to work out what to do with the 1x2 part when using the whole (...)

(...) One possibility would be to have a compiler that compiles NXT graphical code into ARM code, or NXT executable into ARM code (kind of like a Java just in time compiler). This would bypass the interpreter of the firmware and potentially give you (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Hi Frank, I hadn't tested it but just did and it works fine. I've never had any trouble sticking plates into the back of headlight bricks before either. It is probably because the top of studs is slightly angled thus removing collisions. I'm (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.schleim)
