Hello all,

During the first release show of the Vision Command I had a hands on
experience with the dinos. They are incredible. Only one of the use
the vision command. It moves back and forth in order to attack dinos
passing by. The other dinos are actually more impressive. Especially
the one that shifts the RCX from side to side in coordination with
the tail in order to keep the balance.

The robots are owned by Lego.

They are created by Jon Gelting, that works as a freelancer for Lego.
I have enclosed a picture of Jon with his robots.

Regards

Mikkel

Jerry,

I didn't created these superb robots, all this stuff comes from
a Lego Press Show here in Paris, France.

Yes, we are lucky to see things like these !

What an amazing web site!

Christophe, I need to ask a couple of questions:

1.  Are you in an educational institution (or what)?  You must have
at least 6
RCX units to do all that!

2.  What did you use to take the pictures on your site?  Surely not the VC
video camera;  the quality is supurb;  more like what I would get from my
Nikon 950.

3.  Does the Tyranosaurus growl?
