 | | TRU specials....

I seen Toys R Us having a special from the 2nd of October until the 18th. This is probably not geared for the robotic techies since TRU rarely has any clearance on Mindstorm/Technic items, with exception of the RIS sets summer of 2001. I think they (...)

(...) I think it looks very cute... I think adding too many cars on the back, and it will look mean. 3 cars would be fine. My first impression of the rendering is a very small street car. But that is only my opinion. Ben (22 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I have several road plates, and I have some ideas that I wouldn't mind doing. I recently got Main Street (6390) and would love to do a "modernization" of it. Maybe do a town scene like those previous....sans the pink. I think another Train (...) (22 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Oh, don't be facetious, Chris: With a little effort, you could have found out that you also get: 218 Blue Technic Pin 1/2 (Ref) 15 Black Technic Pin Long with Friction (Ref) Now BLUE Technic half-pins? Cool! Those've got to be worth at least $1 each (...) (22 years ago, 8-Oct-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Jeff, thanks.... I saw this and was wondering if it would make it to this group. :) 66 grey beams..... divided by the $500 price tag..... that's about $7.50 each. ummmm, i think i can do better than that. :) Feel free to post pics of the thing (...)

Are the magnets holding the two halves together? I'm very curious how the (...) (22 years ago, 8-Oct-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

OK, I'm back in the saddle. I had a short (robotics-related) distraction, but that's over, and the therapy is going fine, thank you. So, back to trains: We need to nail down a time for rtlTrain4. If we don't do this (as Calum has pointed out), we'll (...) (22 years ago, 8-Oct-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Sounds good, Steve. I hope I'll be able to go to the next big event also. I've missed the last 2 major Robotic events due to other obligations. Anyways. What about Francis Xavier for a boy's name. Flip the last name to the front and you got Magno (...) (22 years ago, 8-Oct-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Hi folks, I'm apparently going to be giving the Building Competition Robots talk at ECRG (the contest Bruce and Rob are in) in a few weeks.

Well, Chris, I wouldn't suggest Kurt. That name was taken two weeks ago. (9/23 - 7lbs 6oz, 21in.) I think that means I'm all clear for the next rtl roadtrip. Another name high on our list was Kyle. If we had a girl, it would have been Aliceanne (...) (22 years ago, 7-Oct-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) The Technic Space Shuttle won't fit into a show box (unless I get a really big pair of work boots soon, and even then, I don't think it'll fit..) So how much 'wiggle room' do I have?
