Hello all....
I've been watching this group for a long time and while the discussions about
RCX programming and LegOS is fine and good, what about some good old fashioned
building challenges? Something that's challenging, yet actually can be
accomplished. The result:

Objective: Build a Lego bot that will move a 10lb. dumbell.
Okay, I know it's not that challenging programming-wise, but I'll guarantee
it's harder than it looks for you builders and gear heads.
Give it a whirl.
---Todd

| (...) Good idea Todd, but there is a hitch. What surface is the dumbell on? Can the bot pick up the dumbell? Can the dumbell be in a cart? etc....
