		Re: Mathematical proof that you can't build anything with LEGO bricks
(...) Good point, but there have always been LEGO sets sold as specific models with instructions for building them. And sets were not marketed directly to children in the 60s and 70s, they were marketed to their parents, and parents (at least my (...) (13 years ago, 28-Feb-12, to lugnet.general, FTX)

		Re: Mathematical proof that you can't build anything with LEGO bricks
(...) He would argue that the increase in the number of new types of pieces is actually an indication that the LEGO system is getting less flexible. But as you say, the system is designed so that every piece connects to at least one other piece (...) (13 years ago, 27-Feb-12, to lugnet.general, FTX)

		Mathematical proof that you can't build anything with LEGO bricks
Dr. Mark Changizi claims that LEGO sets have reached a point where most of the pieces no longer fit other pieces. Sound crazy? Wait - there's math...

		Re: So who is building a bot for Brickfete??
Hi Steve, I still like the idea that if a bot lets goof the rope, its a loss. I am getting old, and I do not recall any robot in the old game letting go. In all the years of bot games, I do not recall too many robot that were deliberately sneaky. (...) (13 years ago, 20-Apr-11, to lugnet.org.ca.obb)
