(...) Wow, I'm (almost) embarassed that two of my robots are depicted on the LEGO page. There were certainly a lot of much cooler robots at MindFest than mine, but I'm not complaining...

(...) Hey, at least you designed something and got it on the page. My Mindfest embarrassment runs deeper... (...) And it seems he did.

(...) Some friends and I have been discussing that on and off, to the level of watching the movie to make sketches of leg motion. We have sort of assumed that you'd have to pack the storage in the center with 2 or 3 RCX's. You'd also have to lose (...) (25 years ago, 2-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.events)

(...) I could be wrong, but I would expect that trying to put motors in the knees might cause a lot of unsightly bulk there that might ruin the whole effect.
