(...) Selling of Used LEGO bricks in a retail store I guess is a rare thing. I know of only one such store that does this in upstate New York, USA. The store is primarily a video gamer store. The used LEGO is just a gimmick to draw in kids and their (...) (20 years ago, 26-Nov-04, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

For all the robot guys: (URL) HAVE to watch the demo videos. Note especially the "teach" and "haptic" videos. I can't believe the level of control they are getting without encoders. Its incredible.

(...) No, it's a different SPI: (URL) MiniBoard (which the RCX was based on) has this thing called SPI, which allows you to link multiple Miniboards together. It is a serial protocol.
