I was browsing the now pretty meager stock of Lego at one Niagara-based Zellers. Last time I was there, around 2 weeks ago, just before the start of the BOGO 50% off sale, they had a whole pallet of those Star Wars 2 packs for $10.00 each. Now there (...)

(...) 4107 makes it even more necessary to have a 3033. I bought only one 4107. It fills some needs, but I feel bad for the parents who wonder where to get the kind of bricks in 3033. The best advice I could give at Target last night was stated (...) (22 years ago, 26-Oct-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Is this the book that Rob and Jeff E. wrote chapters for? (URL) in fact it is. Helps if you read the whole lugnet message. :-) (URL) I was just confused because syngress website doesn't list Rob or Jeff as authors. :-( Derek (22 years ago, 25-Oct-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) What tips did Bruce give you? I'm making my first attempt at a multi-RCX robot for the block-stacking compettition and having a dismal time of it. Do you have any tips on hot to get a roving robot to return to base reliably? That probably (...) (22 years ago, 25-Oct-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Just like the subject says... My firefighting robot was a hunk of junk. Then I was able to fix the program with some tips Bruce gave me. Now the RCX's communicate beautifully, and the robot is one smooth machine. I'm not afraid of that second RCX (...) (22 years ago, 25-Oct-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

What times? I'm booked for Saturday, but if Sunday's ok, I could bring the family, set Regina and the kids free for an hour (or two) and demo my block stacker. It would be interesting to see if it can go higher than 14, now that I've discovered that (...) (22 years ago, 24-Oct-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

The only problem I can see to the tape idea relates to the pushing of blocks, or other objects with sharp edges in other events down the road. Will the edges catch on the tape? Would this tear up the tape and entangle a robot? If it's really really (...) (22 years ago, 24-Oct-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
