We had a great meeting last Saturday, with lots of really good line-tracking robots. The people there voted to do the line tracking competitively, so here are the results: For a straight line: 1st: Kyle (34.9 seconds) 2nd: Rose (36.5 seconds) 3rd: (...)

(...) thanks for the reference with pictures, dave. i think my brain mixed the 6582 and 1687 sets together 'cause i'm remembering it differently but those have got to be the only sets that match what i'm remembering. ..jg (13 years ago, 1-Mar-12, to lugnet.town, lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) I think it's the higher ratio of piece types to set size that leads him to conclude the sets are not as useful for free-form building as they once were. The argument he makes is that if you have a set of 100 unique pieces, it has less (...) (13 years ago, 1-Mar-12, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) I've been sort of pondering this, and I've concluded that the researcher's conclusion makes more sense if we use as a sample 100 random elements chosen from the "classic" LEGO era vs 100 random elements from the newer Ninjago era.

i need help identifying/finding a set. i seem to remember a town/flight set that included a black airplane that had an odd double-tail fin design very much like the 6582 daredevil flight squad plane ((URL) seems like it was available in the early (...)
