Here you go Iain:

My favorite part of the interview with Abevans:
"Lego: Was there a particular mechanism that you needed to create to get the
Toilet Scrubber to work?
Abevans: Getting the "bowl brush" mechanism to work was a challenge. First,
it required significant support so that it could move up and down, but __did
not just pop off the robot__. Second, it had to flex to adjust to the
roundness of the toilet bowl."

At least he though of that beforehand and didn't find it the 'hard way' -
otherwise he would've had to use the "Brown Stain Detector" on one of his
RCXs :)) LOL

I can't for the life of me find the page for that robot we were talking
about yesterday, that can clean the toilet!

I want to show a friend of mine, but the search engine on the Mindstorms
invention page won't search the text of each page, or something?

Anyone?
