In lugnet.trains, Timothy Gould wrote: Great model! Thanks for the ongoing plethora of inspiring images. (...) The face on mine took a long time too and I still want to redo parts of it.

  Re: LEGOfan - is it dead?
 
(...) Kelly, Thanks for the update. I have been checking a couple of times each week to see if it was back up and running. Thanks for the redirect too. I wasn't certain where to place it, but knew the Ambassadors where frequent posters. Todd (19 years ago, 25-Jan-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  Dark grey bricks
 
Hi Does anyone have any dark grey bricks for sale? (Old dark grey--NOT new dark grey). I need about 500 to 1000 2 x 4 bricks. I've got a deadline on a project so I'm willing to pick em up if you've got em. And I'm willing to pay whatever you ask. I (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jan-07, to lugnet.org.us.lugola)

I wish you guys all the best in growing your skills while having a lot of fun. IMHO - for an early competitive (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

  Re: What do these macros do?
 
(...) John - if you've got someone's ear in this, could you also see if a GCC build of the firmware can be released? I know LEGO are unlikely to use GCC themselves as they can afford more specialised tools, but so far, I don't see much of a (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt, lugnet.robotics)

  Re: another comparison
 
Hi Claude, (...) do you have the DFT algorithm in some programming language like Java or C? I'm just guessing, but maybe it could also be useful for speech recognition? Or maybe telling the cat from the dog? (The sound sensor should be usable as a (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Neo-Classic-Space Freighter WIP
 
(...) Scroll down to the last picture on this page (the pictures at the top look like they use huge stickers to fake the upper truss structure).

  Re: Strange rails - found the answer
 
Hello again Today I found the answer to the question of these strange colors for otherwise very common parts. All of you stating that these parts must be some kind of test mould were right! As I mentioned in my first post, I bought these parts (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: What do these macros do?
 
(...) It is possible to write to the popup buffer but only by using the IOMap routine (SetDisplayPopup). The regular system calls which write to the LCD all write to the normal display memory. Unfortunately, as Dick Swan suggested, the current NXT (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt, lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Mindstorms question
 
(...) Nathan, Yes, there are ways to do just about everything you asked. I don't think the RC motors will run at full power when connected to an NXT (which can be done via conversion cables) Personally, I'd suggest gearing up one or more NXT motors, (...)

  Mindstorms question
 
I bought the Mindstorms NXT kit at BrickFest 2006 in hopes of designing a Lego chipper. Although the sensors would make the design possible, the blade of a chipper has to turn at an extremely high RPM- and with a lot of torque. The NXT motors turn (...)

  Re: Unit LNE of the dinochrome brigade (Was: Rock Crawling)
 
(...) Awesome! Great videos! BTW if you want to know how to make bigger tires, try inserting old school 1" Lego tires into the crevices around the large grey "hula hoops" from the star wars kit. This will make tires at least 8" (20 cm) in diameter (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-07, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)
