Good answer..... Allan and GBR both got it right! 1x1 and 2x2 quarter circle (macaroni) are correct. The Sloped bricks first came out a few years later (1958) when TLG finally got the binding brick solution (tubes), otherwise sloped bricks would not (...) (25 years ago, 23-Sep-99, to lugnet.general)

I know that NQC can send IR messages; can it -- or any other command-line program -- listen to the IR port and dump any incoming messages to a file (or stdout)? (25 years ago, 23-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
