So, there were BETA TESTERS who now have experience with NXT (but were sworn to silence). But now NXT is shipping and customers have received their sets. So those Beta Testers and those New Customers should be PUBLISHING new and exotic models to (...) (20 years ago, 7-Jul-06, to lugnet.robotics)

Thanks, but this is the well known "The grass is greener on the..."-effect ;-) I (...) (20 years ago, 7-Jul-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) I have three designs on paper for leaky bucket modules. The basic version of what I had in mind was a simple large hopper to receive balls from either the faster modules, the train, or both. The output would be a simple lifter, which was run (...) (20 years ago, 7-Jul-06, to lugnet.robotics, FTX)

(...) You could just buy your own LEGO Factory designs, mark them up, and stick a Paypal button on your website. And S@H shipping is so fast, you could have "just-in-time" inventory. Admittedly the CafePress model is much nicer, but I don't see TLC (...) (20 years ago, 7-Jul-06, to lugnet.lego, FTX)

(...) Or to put it another way, use a GBC train system to handle 0.5 bps at a splitter module, so that downstream of the splitter the thinned stream would be 0.5 bps. This would seem to require (a) a dedicated train (& room for it), (b) a splitter (...) (20 years ago, 7-Jul-06, to lugnet.robotics)
