My guess is that there´ll be a Slave I because: - it´s got a good size to be build as a modell (well a smaller scaled version) - we need more of the bad guys. One TIE is not enough for playing Star Wars - it looks cool, so it´ll sell good - we´ve (...) (26 years ago, 13-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)

I can offer some suggestions. Part of the fun of Lego MindStorms is figuring things out on one's own ... but a few hints probably won't hurt.
