Exactly.
So you (at least) don't know of such a thing...I couldn't find anything like
that from an hour of searching the web.
There are HUNDREDS of sites with photos of cool Lego robotic things - some
with detailed descriptions of very clever - but esoteric - designs. But
nothing with *basic* design modules.

Eventually, perhaps - but gathering those tricks is the hard part.
I was kindof thinking of a web site where anyone could post a description
of a technique in some standard format - then a small group of volunteers
would either accept or reject each posting. The accepted ones would
gradually build into a large library of techniques....some very simple,
some complex - all in a standard format with a uniform indexing mechanism.
The things I'm looking for are things like on pages 26 through 37 of the
"Contructopedia" that comes with RIS.
