The first time I noticed the less thick black pegs was in the 8448 Superstreet sensation and in the other technic sets from the same year (8444, 8445, 8446). It seems to me that there are 4 different kinds of black pegs that came out over time, but (...) (24 years ago, 26-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

While I was makeing a simply fixture to mount black friction pegs in a lathe, I discovered that they come in two different wall thicknesses!

I have a NQC program that is not working properly. However, when ever I complie and run a smaller section of the code it works fine. The basics of the code is the following: 1. wait until you get a valid message from RCX1 (code is for RCX2) 2. go (...) (24 years ago, 26-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

With repect to the RCX, what use are the Droid Developer Kits (DDK) beyond their appearing limited 7 firmware programs ? I do think they are attractive to the younger lego maniacs - so I'm not slamming them. Actually I got one today for my 8 year (...) (24 years ago, 26-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

Does anyone know where plans for the RIS Bulldozer might be found? There is a pic of it on the back of the box, and I've searched all over for it, but to no avail. I want to push some dishes off the dinning room table =) Tom Heverly (24 years ago, 25-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)
