Studs.
What’s the one thing people all over the world think of when they think Lego.
Studs!
While the components are all studless, that’s fine.
The main CPU the NXT unit itself, should have a few studs on the front of the
unit! IMHO.

I completely disagree. Their is no need for studs on the NXT. It’s sleek, and
modern the way it is. I don’t think I’ve ever used the studs on the RCX for a
moc. I love the I-pod styling.
And the components should have studs.

To keep the brand name in people’s mind when they see the system.
I myself would have liked to be able to add some printed tiles to the front of
the NXT. Plus like I said, when people see some studs, they instantly
recognize them as being Lego. Studs and Lego, that’s in people’s minds.
That is the brand quality and studs make even this newest system instantly
recognizable as being compatible with people’s Lego collections.

Lego could though add studs to the logo. You have that box with “Lego” written
inside it. It looks exactly 2x2, well you could have four studs next to it, both
in print and in plastic, only when in plastic they’d be real studs you could
attach bricks to. Just think it would be the worlds first logo that actually
does something!

You know what people say to me when they see my robots in person?
Wow, this is not the Lego “I” used to have.
Then I say, look closer, see this is an old window, this is a regular Lego
Brick, this is a chair, this is a wheel well etc....and so on....

Christ, what kind of freaky robots are you building?
