I used some basic parts (relays, resistor, wire, lego bricks & connectors) give the RCX basic switching ability. An IN is switched between two OUTS. The input can be connected to either an RCX input or output, depending on if you want to switch (...) (25 years ago, 7-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics)

Good advice on how to get inspiration. I'd also offer that you should try some exercises to stretch your thinking. One good one I like is to grab a random handful of parts (not too many, not all the same, not ones you picked out, just random) and (...) (25 years ago, 7-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)

HEY! What's going on? Why does a space station have to be some butt-ugly assembly of modules? I think a space station, ship, etc. should be designed and built as a single unit. It looks so much better that way, and it works better that way too. Z (25 years ago, 7-Jan-00, to lugnet.space)
