(...) In fact, I have seen no evidence anywhere that Mr Swanberg ever played with LEGO at all, so even that similarity may be tenuous. ROSCO (19 years ago, 30-Nov-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)

(...) This isn't my experience. Most people who know that I build with LEGO think it is cool. Most people I met at shows think it is cool. Only a few think I'm neddlessly obsessed, and they seem socially maladjusted anyway. -Lenyu (19 years ago, 30-Nov-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)

(...) Okay, but everyone drives a car. Not many adults play with Lego, making the association much stronger. This makes it quite a bit worse. At some point your response stops working due to the lowest common denominator. Calum (19 years ago, 30-Nov-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Erm, why would you need another output port for the light? I'm no robot builder, but I think I see how to do a light without using another output port. (even if you use a 2 motor or differential drive) I might be missing something of course. (19 years ago, 30-Nov-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
