I'd melted a big
gouge in the beam, and a whole bunch of plastic chips went flying!

It was great, I took a picture :)

See, this is why I appreciate this grp.  I'm not the only one who has done
something like this to LEGO :)
My stack 'bot is in pieces all over my floor.  Oh it's gonna take a while • to

Fine - although paletizer is looking dim.

a) I hate coding 3 rcx's and trying to get them to talk via IR.
b) It's just too large. I CANNOT take this on the subway safely. I'm
envisioning myself sliping and falling, and throwing my LEGO all over the
track, then a T1 coming along and destroying it all. Not good.
c) stacking is just SO MUCH FUN when you see it go for the first time. WHAT
A TREAT!!!!!!!

I'm thinking of changing the name. Instead of FastStacker II, I think I'll
go for "Hammerhead" or "Jaws" (You'll get it when you see the overall
shape).

(...) Hammerhead... I like I like. I have to come up with a cool sounding name for my robot. So far, its just 'little black' because its little, and well, black. You can see my lack of creativity with naming things. Anyway, if I can find the time to (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
