Interestingly enough, these images appeared in a popular Israeli magazine called "Rating". Kind of a cross between a weekly magazine and a TV guide. It appeared next to the editor's column.

Last Thursday (12/12) there was a small segment about a local LEGO Mindstorms competition in NW Ohio on Fox Toledo news. I didn't catch the exact location, but the goal of the competition was to design robots to navigate an urban environment. -chris (22 years ago, 17-Dec-02, to lugnet.mediawatch)

The Brick Testament feature will be in the round where a partly obscured newspaper headline is shown to the members of the panel, and they have to guess what (...)
