Massachusetts, U.S.A. : 65


Local / United States / Massachusetts / 65

Hello all, I have been quiet lately because my sister just gave birth to her first child (A boy) and things have been a bit busy. Also with my first wedding anniversary comming up this weekend I have not had alot of time to work on setting up our (...)

(...) Again, I'd offer out in Worcester, but that's an hour hike for some :) (...) I think something like an assembly line might be cool... makes for a bigger thing at the mindfest... how many Mindstorms could we pull together for that? Maybe have (...)

The cable stayed bridge over the Charles River would make a (...)

(...) How many RCXs do we have between us all? It might be fun to create some sort of large group-behavior system. (I've got one; my friend paul has another that I might be able to borrow even if he's not coming.)

(...) I've got two RCXes that I could extract from their current hosts to be used in a project like this. I'd also like to offer up my humble abode for the next (or any) NELUG meeting. I live in Walpole, which is south-west of Boston. (About halfway (...)

(...) How close are you to the commuter rail? Or, alternately, anyone want to share a car ride from Harvard or Kenmore Square? (25 years ago, 14-Sep-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ma, lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos, lugnet.loc.us.ct, lugnet.loc.us.me, lugnet.loc.us.vt, lugnet.loc.us.nh, lugnet.loc.us.ri)

(...) I'm probably a mile or two from the rail station (it's on the Franklin line). I could plan to meet people at a train if you know which one you'll be on or if you want to call my house when you get in. Your best bet is by car, though, since the (...)

(...) I should also mention while I'm on the subject that I'm also using the Walpole definition of "sparse", not the Cambridge one. (25 years ago, 14-Sep-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ma, lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos, lugnet.loc.us.ct, lugnet.loc.us.me, lugnet.loc.us.vt, lugnet.loc.us.nh, lugnet.loc.us.ri)

Hi Folks, First of all, I'm gonna come right out and embarrass myself, 'cause that's what I'm good at. Can anybody fill me in on what the MIT LEGO Mindfest event is? I was under the assumption that it was all robotics/RCX, but now I'm not so sure (...)

(...) You are correct in the the MIT Mindfest is primarily for RCX/Mindstorms but in talking with Suzanne at the last NELUG meeting she mentioned that we could do almost anything LEGO related we wanted. Some main reason for this, as I understand it, (...)

(...) I actually had the same thought about 90 seconds following my post. The only means in which I'd call it a "contest" is that there would be "entries" from different people, to allow for individuality. That being said, I agree that referring to (...)

(...) Is there any way we can fill out an application? eric (25 years ago, 15-Sep-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos)
