(...) Good observation. Yes LEGO is dropping the SYSTEM designation for Belville. So now it is LEGO Belville, like LEGO SCALA.

I found an excellent organizer for my small LEGO pieces at "Office Max" (a large office supply chain). It's called "Lid-Storage Organizer", model number 06-215, made by Akro-Mills, and cost about $11. It has 11 to 46 compartments depending upon how (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics)

I've been investigating the use of LegOS as an alternate development platform and have come to the conclusion that as-is, it is too difficult to install and configure for the average person. Professionally, I am a software deployment expert on the (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics)

Nope - I just added them for strength - when the train was under my Xmas tree, even with cardboard under the tracks, if the cats stepped on it, it would partially dislocate the joints. So I put them there for strength, and have decided to leave them (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

How about a more generalized interface to the pbForth system. Although Ralph Hempel believes this to be unnecessary, I find the RcxCC interface quite appealing. Harald Striepe (25 years ago, 2-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Seriously though.....why are there no brakes ? Are there any models that have brakes ? And has any Lego Wizard (Dave Baum are you there ?) motorised the automatic gearchange.....then you could control eveything via RIS Regards Tim Wilkins (25 years ago, 2-Jan-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
