What an awesome robotics display we had at BrickCon this year! I really wanted to thank Mark Kenworthy for putting together an awesome Crate Contraption! These are very difficult to put together, and Mark did this one entirely himself! It was a (...) (14 years ago, 14-Oct-10, to lugnet.org.us.smart)

(...) For trolleys maybe you could use (URL) or (URL) which protrude only a little. Catenary would probably be more difficult, can't think of a good (LEGO only) way to do those. ROSCO (14 years ago, 14-Oct-10, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Interesting... How to join it in a smooth and clean way? That seems to present the same problem as how to attach the string, you end up with something sticking below the plane of the string that the trolley pole or pantograph would (if (...) (14 years ago, 13-Oct-10, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Hi Rick! Right now I'm looking for an all LEGO solution. I already have loads of black string which looks exactly like LEGO string. What I'm struggling with is how to do the attachment to each of the poles in a way that doesn't impinge on a (...) (14 years ago, 12-Oct-10, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

|
|
(...) By a quick count at BrickLink, I found 235 "iffy" minifigs-- But I knowingly skipped Fabuland, Jack Stone, Technic, Belville, Scala, Galidor, and Bionicle. Knowing the above, I'd guess it'd be in the ballpark of 300-500 borderline minifigs? (...) (14 years ago, 12-Oct-10, to lugnet.build.minifigs, FTX)

I believe that these exotic examples are also a rather small proportion of all figures and hence it might not matter that much. Would you be (...)

| | Re: Microscale truss bridge
|

(...) For this length, I think it might look better with 1x10 plate for the top beam, and dropping the 1x4 plates on the bottom completely, leaving the bridge deck to form the bottom beam. - But then I wouldn't be able to reuse the design for a (...)

(...) One thing to think about is whether wire would actually add enough to the layout to make it worth all the hassle. I've seen quite a few layouts now with just poles, and they generally look really good. ROSCO (14 years ago, 12-Oct-10, to lugnet.trains)

(...) For a more easy string build trolly wire, you could try the "String with End Studs"-part. When I use this part, I turn the end studs a bit to get some tension in the strings. (14 years ago, 11-Oct-10, to lugnet.trains)

There are a lot of things that are "sort-of" minifigs: (6 URLs) Personally, I drew a hard-and-fast line by saying that in order to be a minifig, it had to have a minifig torso (yes, (...)
