Hi, I have the regret to inform you that I won't be able to go, I have to attend a first aid course all next week-end. That will be the 1st train event that I'll miss :-( Martin (23 years ago, 12-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) That's really cute! I already have a 4 port USB hub ($12 DLink, on sale!) just for such a game. Yes, we should do this! It would be a fun, simple, breath of fresh air. Something a little silly and purely for sport, not for any real technical (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I bought the Maverick Storm at Zellers.... I thought $5.00 plus tax was a bit excessive for a 38 piece set, without a full-size mini-fig.... but the head is cool....nice hood under the helmet. What I didn't care for.... the one piece for racer's (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Hi everyone, After reading Calums post about using Manas in the next robotics competition, it got me thinking. I do like the idea of an RC competition, but lets forget the Manas.

(...) As the others have said, 32 variables is the limit for the standard firmware. The new 2.0 firmware gives you a bit more (I think you can have a few more global variables). But, heres my take on the matter: Why do you need two 1x16 arrays? I (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

So I ripped the top off my mountain and had a poke around inside. I did some measuring and comparing, and I've got a diagram of what I'll have to move to get his train through. It's not pretty, not even a little bit; there are about 8 pillars and (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
