   Where can I get new inventions and their building instructions besides those given in Lego Mindstorms Robotics Invention System 2.0?

ONE:
a) look around you room, dig in your LEGO boxes, have a walk through the cellar or the attic
b) build the facinating idea you just had.
TWO:
a) turn on your computer, start the web browser
b) find something facinating someone else has built
c) think: that’s crap, I can build a GREAT improvement
d) (obvious)
THREE:
a) get you hands on about 60-70 $/€
b) go to the closest LEGO store
c) buy the “Ultimate Builders Kit”
d) think: wow! pneumatics; gee! other cool parts; not worth the money
Four: -If you’re between 9-14, ask teacher at school to join First Lego League.
Five: -If you’re not, participate in a local LUG or organization that has regular robotics challenges, etc.
Six: Check at your local library/bookstore for one of tha many books now in print. For example, list of titles at amazon.com
Seven: Here are two documents which show exactly how to build working components which I think go beyond what comes with the kit. They are free to download .pdf files. This one is written by Fred Martin, who designed the original RCX brick: The Art of LEGO Design This ia a 16-page booklet of color photos to go with it.
