  Re: NELUG Castle Display at TCS Brainstorm...
 
<snip lots of good ideas (...) I guess we can make room for a Barbarian Horde :-). It would work well with the new 2000 sets anyway. (...) I would say that at the moment we need a little of everything although the only castle that has been mentioned (...) (25 years ago, 23-Dec-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos, lugnet.org.us)
 
  Re: NELUG Castle Display at TCS Brainstorm...
 
(...) Actually... I like that! (...) Yep! Definitly a good idea... I could easily contribute a Bull's Attack, 2 Catapult Crushers, 2 Axe carts, and the little siege vehicle from 6098 as well...

  Re: NELUG Castle Display at TCS Brainstorm...
 
(...) Hmm...I think these two have the most possibility. Maybe one big castle, being beseiged by an enemy army, that is guarding the approach to the town. In the town, life goes on as usual...for now... (...) With the idea above we could use King (...) (25 years ago, 23-Dec-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos, lugnet.org.us)
 
  Mindstorms spirit.ocx programming = RCX ASM coding?
 
I haven't looked at programming the RCX with Visual Basic or other MS Win languages via the spirit.ocx control, but someone (sorry -- I'm terrible with remembering names!) at the NELUG meeting asked me why people seem to like NQC when they could be (...)

  Re: NELUG Castle Display at TCS Brainstorm...
 
(...) My vote would be for 2,3,and 4 combined (maybe even 5 too, but that might be tough to squeeze in): A large castle on one end... elevated, and toward the rear of the display, kind of on that "hillside" type style. I'm picturing it towards the (...) (25 years ago, 22-Dec-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos, lugnet.org.us)
 
  NELUG Castle Display at TCS Brainstorm...
 
All followups to LUGNET.ORG.US and LUGNET.LOC.US.MA.BOS (because that is where TCS is).

  Re: gear tooth counts
 
(...) Just a side note here: The old style bevel gear has 14 teeth, which matches the old style differential, with 28 teeth. This gives a 1:2 gear ratio when driving the differential with the bevel gear. Fredrik (25 years ago, 19-Dec-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos, lugnet.technic)
 
  gear tooth counts
 
A follow-up on something that came up at the last NELUG meeting -- Looks like the conical gear has 16 teeth (plus the itty bitty grip teeth), and it's the old bevel gear that was the oddball with 14 teeth. (URL) (25 years ago, 18-Dec-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos, lugnet.technic)

Followups To LUGNET.ORG.US: I knew there was something I was forgetting to ask. I was wondering if there was any interest in some sort of NELUG shirt or other paraphernalia.

I'll be visiting family in New England next week, arriving the 17th and departing the 26th.
