I've been looking for the same thing ever since the Mindstorm set first came
out. I eventually gave up. Resorted to making my own. If I happen to run
across any web site that has an interesting tip, trick, design or oddity I
save the page onto a Zip disk I have labeled Lego Lexicon. The whole thing is
a mess though. I've been meaning to turn it into a working offline web site
to make finding specific things easier. I actually started doing this because
I kept forgetting site addresses and the table I use for my building is to far
away from the phone jack for my laptop. Once I get a burner, I might convert
the whole thing to a CD. All this is of course for my own personal private
use.
But I've never been able to find anything "consistent" in any models.

| (...) This would be a perfect project to keep up with my (little) knowledge of scripting and database design. Such a website could be totally automated and could be built with php scripts and mysql db. If you want this to be made, I have to be sure (...) (24 years ago, 16-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics)
