What I found interesting in the new S@H catalog is the price difference between the (now older) Droid Developer Kit ( US$ 59.99 @ 652 pieces) and the newer Darkside Developer Kit ( US$ 99.99 @ 578 pieces). Same micro scout, different color, fewer (...) (25 years ago, 9-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics)

I have decided to give my mobile robot some serious alerting power by modifying a truck air horn for use with the lego pneumatics. I have a picture of the modified horn here: (...) compressor and a tank, and it's sure to clear my bot a path. Now I (...) (25 years ago, 9-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics)

I was wondering about this... Now that I see the parts pack, I can't help but think that this is NOT a pneumatics parts kit. This is a collection of parts that happens to have some pneumatics in it. This is a far cry from bulk pneumatic parts, Brad. (...) (25 years ago, 9-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics)

Some more thoughts on this... I recently talked to Lego customer service in Germany about single parts ordering and they said they´d do it for special purposes. But you have to pay a premium of about .25 to .5 $ per piece for the manual handling. As (...) (25 years ago, 8-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics)

But what if I don't want or need pumps and blue tanks this month? And how many months will I wait till my favourite parts are featured? Why not if all people in this group go and think of what they want and make a wish list? For instance, I can make (...) (25 years ago, 8-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics)
