Danny, and others,

I think that might be what you are looking for, or at
least close.

I agree with a standard electrical connector - I
actually had an idea
for a more advanced Lego electrical connector
anyway. How about Lego
providing a standard module for connecting active
sensors to the RCX -
one that contains the Diode Bridge and filter
circuits?

What I also always wanted (not quite non-Lego), was
large panels
(studless - pin mounted), preferrable made of sheet
aluminium with the
studless connectors around the edges - made in
standard Lego
dimensions. The sheet would be thin-ish, and then
bulked up for the
connectors. This would allow me to use it in far
more interesting
ways, especially if curves and such were also
provided - quarter turns
for example, with a standard Lego unit radius...

At the moment I'd like a device that connects Lego • wires to standard

I'd also like a camera mounting. It would have a • metal screw on the top to fit
