| Stickers are a big foul in my Lego collection. I give them to my 5yr old for his Legos. Using them kinda ruins pieces for further ideas b/c they may not match the theme you are trying to create. I don't know... This is just my feelings on stickers. (...) (26 years ago, 27-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

| | Pitsco Catalog
|
| I'm severly disapointed with Pitsco... I recieved their catalog today and there is NOTHING in it for Robolab or Mindstorms, not even a mention of it in the 150+ pages. Is this just my imagination or did they leave something out? (26 years ago, 5-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| Try using a Coke bottle w/small brass fitting siliconed in the cap. Secure it to the robot (invention) w/rubber bands for easy removal. It takes a while to fill it but that's a lot of air for use. Good luck. (26 years ago, 5-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | RcxCC Joystick controls
|
| Is there any way to make the joystick control of RcxCC2.0 work with just 1 motor. Some of us havn't had the $$$ to get a 3rd motor just yet. Even if I did have a 3rd, I'd use it for extra speed or some other gilley-friggy-thingy not yet thought of. (26 years ago, 7-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Touch sensors turn on the steering motor at power level 1 or 2 (I don't remember which) for 2/10ths of a second per press. It takes 2 taps of the right button to go (...)
