Hi. I wish to install a power connector (similar to those used by 9 volt chargers) on th RCX and then either use a power cable or a pack of alkaline c-cells to power the thing. Does anyone have any experience with fitting a connector to RCX. (...) (25 years ago, 19-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)

  Re: Is the LDraw parts database free?
 
(...) It's the fuzziness I dislike. I would like to see some clear legal terms for the use of the parts. About the "community created" parts library, not the ones made by James Jessiman, I agree with Larry Pieniazek that the GPL is a bit too (...) (25 years ago, 19-Nov-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: 2 person Heavy Assault Walker
 
(...) I was just wondering if anyone else thought that this was odd?

One other little note. As you're picking the items, tell them that it is a phone special. The person who took my order asked me to do that after the 3rd or 4th item. It saves them keying time. They are definitely becoming more sensitized to the (...) (25 years ago, 19-Nov-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)
