(...) 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)
