| | | How about a fully automated Mindstorms controlled minifig scale Freefall amusement park ride? Sound like fun? (URL) called The Gravity Well, and it's my first technic MOC since November 2001. It seems I'd been focusing a little too much on .space (...) (22 years ago, 15-Apr-03, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.technic) !!
