| Does anybody know of LEGO Mindstorms competitions for teen-agers in Germany/Europe that don't impose any limits on the used programming language? FFL looks O.K., almost no limits (except motors, RCXs and sensors), but that's only fair. RoboCup (...)

| Thomas- As a member of SCLTC, I can tell you there are plenty of teenage Serious LEGO Builders out there (forgive me, I dislike the term AFOL). I meet a lot of visitors at our LTC shows who are teenagers and/or in college. The teenage issues are (...) (21 years ago, 4-Jan-05, to lugnet.people.teens, FTX)

| These are just a few thoughts that I have had: You can easily divide LEGO fans into groups. first of all, the little kids from about 0-9 that just play with LEGO. this group is becoming the only group LEGO (r) cares about, if you look at the impact (...)

I went to one held in my state, I was completely disappointed. It turned (...)

| Hi Everyone, I'm Samarth Moray, and I'm 16. I've been playing with Lego, like most of you, since I was a kid. I'm new to lugnet because this is my first post, but I'm 'old' to lugnet because I've been lurking around for a year now. That basically (...)

However I do look into .space and other places quite a lot (although I mainly read .trains and .cad) so I'll keep an eye out. If a MOC is good its good (...)

I had a similarly empowering experience as a teen. I (...) (22 years ago, 24-Sep-04, to lugnet.people.teens)
