Wonderful!

   The problem, of course, is that the Code Pilot itself does not exist in LDraw as far as I can tell. This part is not totally different than the RCX in size and shape, but substituting the RCX does not look right at all. On the one hand, this is a very unique part that only exists in this one old set, so I can see how there would not be much demand for creating it. On the other hand, the same is true for the Spybotics brick which is even more complicated, yet it exists in LDraw. Does anyone know if this part has ever been modeled by anyone or would anyone be willing to contribute it?
I should be able to do that, since it is indeed easier than Spybotics... But don’t expect it so soon!

   I recognize that not everyone has one of these, so I would be more than happy to provide as many photos as required, if requested.
I have one ;o)
