Personally I use servos connected either to pneumatic switches or polarity switches. It's not a small solution but I feel it's more LEGO pure as I'm only replacing what my fingers could do with the servos. See my site for a lot of examples of this. (...)

(...) Some people just don't get it. The major disappointments in life are having to deal with people like Thomas over and over and over and OVER I'd rather just ignore people like this and get on with living.

It's nothing personal. It's not even all pointed at you. Search the Lugnet archives, you'll see that someone comes along every few months, posts about their new site/model/pics, then yells, screams, or cries at everyone if they don't get their 15 (...) (22 years ago, 16-Apr-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) I definitely have caught on to the idea that LEGO fans aren't one community, but several communities. We use the term "the LEGO community" to signify people who are seriously interested in LEGO and LEGO-related topics, and who build (...)

(...) Yep. (...) True. I think it's great to encourage those kids who don't build LEGO on this level to explore it. I have gained a new appreciation for Bionicle recently, at BricksWest and at a friend's house a couple weeks ago. His kids have a lot (...)

(...) IMHO, the AFOL term was used just to give this group a sense of identity. Sure, any old kid can say he plays with Lego, but all he might do is just buy sets and make them, or just collect Bionicle figures. We actually take Lego to the next (...)

(...) Looking back in the thread, I think I was the one who began talking about "adult" here, although the phrase "Adult Fan of LEGO" (AFOL) seems to have been created quite a while ago. I find that I mention adult LEGO fans almost in self defense. (...) (22 years ago, 16-Apr-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.people, lugnet.fun.community)

Hi Damien - (...) I'm sorry to hear that. Most of the people I build with have more LEGO than I do. I have quite a bit, perhaps just under 100,000 pieces. But, I still don't have the parts to construct what I really want to, which is part of the (...) (22 years ago, 16-Apr-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.people, lugnet.fun.community)

(...) Yes, that's sharing building experience and you are lucky. My only sharing experience ended with "i don't need you, i have more lego than you anyway". Ok you share building experience. I mean you don't share building skills. You construct your (...) (22 years ago, 16-Apr-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.people, lugnet.fun.community)
