Well, I went to go over and check out some of those New York Toy Fair 2002 previews, and you know, the new sets they showed are incredibly disappointing. But here's another weird one: I don't care. I used to get all worked up about it. I can think (...) (23 years ago, 12-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Want me to post my anti-X time? ;) I just found out last night that when I swapped the half drain batteries with a set of new batteries, I saved 5 seconds run time! (23 years ago, 12-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Well, it might not be the best place, but it does anger me too. I suppose part of my right wing capitalist leanings would say, "Hey, why not, a buck is a buck". But there's a part of me which values Lego and sharing and it cheeses me off just (...) (23 years ago, 11-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) See, I had this entirely 'new' concept whilst watching my friends robot welder at work the other week. The robot welder has like a 19 segment arm, and I wouldn't go that far, but I was thinking 4 sections, like Iain had started to develop that (...)

(...) That's a great idea! Think I'll try that (tho I have 2 old diffs and 6 new ones...) But for this 'bot competition, no modified bricks at all :( (rules and all that) Tho if it's this situation, I don't know why we can't bend the rules but that (...)

At least collectors like Lego, the speculators just like money. (...) (...) (23 years ago, 11-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I have to say, since this subject has been mentioned, although this may be a wholly unsuitable forum to vent about it, that the people who "invade" these discount opportunities for profit make me really mad! I don't know any equitable way to deal (...) (23 years ago, 11-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Grrr!! All rotation sensors are sold. Last week they had lots so if I jump to conclusions (which many people know I'm prone to do--yeah, whatever!!), some so-and-so probably bought a whole bunch and pretty soon we'll see them on eBay for at least (...)

This lack of posting here is not looking good for rtlToronto... What, everyone got shy all of a sudden? I mean, the competition is under 2 weeks away. Discussion, please!

| | Fun with rtl10.1 Gamepads
|

So I was walking by the local Electronic Boutique today, and decided to pop in. I think it was because I was trying to avoid going to get my hair cut. Anyways, I was looking at USB gamepads, and most were around $15-90. I figure we might need a few (...) (23 years ago, 9-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

WELL, dinner was very productive for me. i learned a TON of stuff.

Ivan, Thanks for this. After a quick look, it would seem to me that the symbols that I was referring to are "fixed" Allow me to try to explain. At work, I would be given an electric solenoid operated valve, (hereafter called solenoids) and on this (...) (23 years ago, 9-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I guess this is mainly for Chris, who yesterday proclaimed me a pneumatics god after I helped him find the 4th 'lost' port on the Lego valve (exhaust) :)) At any rate, going back to the subject at hand - after a bit of searching this is what I came (...)

I think it's an example many other groups try to follow, including our Italian one. BTW, (...) (23 years ago, 8-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
