  Home-made One-way valve
 
For those who are willing to dismember their Legos, here's how to make your own one-way valve from the hand pump: (URL) designed by Christophe Masclet from France. To be sure, Chris has some more home-made pneumatics stuff coming up. Btw, the (...) (23 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic, lugnet.build)

Ways I might want to modify the results... * make it proportional to the number of people that own a set - i.e. by set popularity. * or, by 1/N, where N is the number of parts in a set * by year, recent sets count more * 1/P, (...)

  Re: Brick Color
 
This is a good start. Some suggestions for modifying the results: 1. Look at only a few common parts, especially bricks. I've acquired hundreds of 1x2 plates with clips from recent sets. While these are common, they are tiny. I'd rather know how (...) (23 years ago, 15-Dec-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)

  Re: Brick Color
 
I agree. I would pick red bricks, with grey as second. I think red was the default color because, well, "real" bricks are red! :) (...) (23 years ago, 15-Dec-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)
