I constructed this microscale Chinese pagoda as a centerpiece for a dinner party (for 25!) that we hosted two weeks ago. It isn't accurate to any specific pagoda, but is broadly based on some of the techniques and styles I observed in some source (...)

(...) Wow! I wish I had that power with everyone! A couple of issues though: 1. The buttons don't work inside programs :( (well not my programs anyway); 2. When I switch the NXT off while running NeXTscreen, garbage is displayed. It'd be nice if it (...) (19 years ago, 11-Apr-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

(...) Jonathan, Thanks! I have to say that your NY buildings are fantastic - I grew up there and my family is still there, so they are extra special! I agree that tiles might work better. I will try some different arrangements to see how they work; (...) (19 years ago, 11-Apr-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)

Just saw this online: (2 URLs) Lego Solar Powered Helicopter> from the Solar Energy Alliance. Is this an official Lego set? Anyone know anything about the motor? Roy (19 years ago, 11-Apr-07, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) I have replaced the zips (test_release.zip and nextscreen.zip) with new versions which add support for saving .png images. All it took was downloading the pngimage component for Delphi from sourceforge and then adding ", pngimage" to the (...) (19 years ago, 11-Apr-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

(...) I would vote for .gif or .png support, both of which are lossless for the monochrome NXT display. JPG is lossy even in monochrome. Thanks again for the great utility. Dave (19 years ago, 11-Apr-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

(...) I'll link a picture from GMLTC member Bill-2 (that's one of his firetrucks!): (URL) Something like this allows people to get their noses right up next to a model, but still prevents them from picking them up. Maybe Lego still has these (...) (19 years ago, 11-Apr-07, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.build.vignette, FTX)

(...) Another idea might be to change the way the MOC is being presented. The biggest risk at shows I've been to is kids not understanding the toy/can-touch and display/cannot-touch difference. Stanchions and plexiglass both limit how close kids can (...) (19 years ago, 11-Apr-07, to lugnet.build.vignette, FTX)
