WOW!!!! Please allow me to express how COOL that is. I think you have found the perfect use for this new motor and control system. The new IR controller, and Motors will free many MOC's of the unrealistic wires that still shackle the rest of us. I (...) (19 years ago, 7-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: Power Functions Tower Crane
 
Wow, so you are also one of the chosen ones to make our collective mouths water... Would it be hard (or legally possible at this time) to add these motors to your lovely 9v motor comparison on your site to give us an even better idea of what they (...) (19 years ago, 7-Mar-07, to lugnet.robotics)

  Re: Part Authors: opinions sought on T-Junctions
 
(...) Yes, that's true, but in such cases there are generally lines separating the polygons (parts), and people expect to see those in the render. The problem we're talking about here is artifacts showing up on the faces of individual parts where (...) (19 years ago, 7-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

  Re: 10182 Cafe Corner... WOW
 
(...) I’m pretty much in the same boat as Brendan. I haven't purchased a set since probably January 2004, but the sets that are coming out this year are really impressive.
