You know where I stand on the idea...
I have so many old bems 'n stuff that I don't care if they break. I once
build a cube out of solid LEGO bricks... if you want to take that idea, I
highly doubt that a 6 battery box hammer could damage that significantly.
I have a few ideas in mind--the RC car doesn't do well for A-B steering
though, so I'll have to figure something else.
I'm in whatever the group decides...
Right now I'm focused on rtlTrain 5, and the 'king o the hill' is being
fluffed off until the last possible minute (as usual), and I keep walking by
LOR, who is just standing forlorn on my coffee table.
This weekend I'm booking my uncles workshop and (hopefully) pumping out 6
modules. The legs I'll save for another time, but hopefully before rtl4.5
So many projects... so little time.
