 | | Friday's dinner

As Mattias and Chris have already touched on it, Friday's dinner was one of the best dinners (I think, since I've been going). The estimate number of people attending was 15, and we were missing at least 2 regulars.... Most of the meeting was (...) (23 years ago, 19-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Nice poster, Calum. Anyone think it's sinister that the block featured prominently in the foreground is, in fact, NOT a standard competition block? <scary music> Hmmm. (...)

If you want to ride on somethng like that, you should go to space camp canada in montreal. They have a shuttle mock-up (only the front quarter, but real size) with a "canadarm" in the back, with a seat on the end. Of course, it doesnt go very fast (...)

Chris can't confirm a date for rtl10 until late November as the Toronto Public Library won't take a reservation (...) (23 years ago, 19-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Thanks Chris... So I then wonder how they (LEGO) disabled the remote on the wall climber.

Jeff, in answer to your question. I just took the time to D/L the 1.0 lego firmware into the RCX and the lego remote worked well with that RCX. so the short answer is yes. -- Chris Visit my newly revamped walker page @ (URL) (23 years ago, 17-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

This is why I'd prefer bricks for the cell walls instead of plates. If a block is hung up on a brick wall it is obviously out of shape, but if its hanging on the edge of a plate wall it becomes more of a judgement call. I feel the block should be (...)
