Yorkdale makes me angry when it's that busy.  ARGH.

You know, that was probably one of the worst kept Lego/toy sections I've
ever seen.  I am convinced the Bay is getting out of toys.

It's actually even a bit simpler than that, if you just connect the port on
the top of the Fibre Optic unit to a sensor and configure it in RAW, you can
see the state changes either 8 or 16 times per revolution (can't remember),

Wow.  I never knew that!  I think it's safe to say every piece has a use.*

There was that competition in .space a while back where they took the

I now have 12 modules done.

I also have a new Delta cordless drill, but that's neither here nor there...

Someone wnated their very own module...

I have 1 or 2 extra for whomever wants them.
