yeah, i'm just getting started (as in bought a set two days ago and haven't
had
the time to build anything yet), and i expect the first several months of
experimenting
won't be worth remembering anyway. but for those people that have had time
to develop some worthwhile ideas, i would imagine that having a systematic
way to record
what you built without having to save the creation itself would be a major
time
(and money) saver. since there's only a finite number of component parts,
it seems
like it would lend itself to a systematic notation. lego's engineers must
have some way of doing this, right? i'll try to keep my mouth shut until
i've got something besides abstraction to contribute, though.

Personally, I don't notate anything. Part of what I like is finding a
totally
different solution than the one I used last time. Makes for slower
building,
but leaves more room for improvement. Now that I have a digital camera,
I've
begun taking pictures but that's really just to prove to my friends that it
did so work.
I like the sub-assembilies idea and Lego is drifting that way (see Beach
Buggy
and new RIS sets) but it's something I haven't done.
