As usual, sets don't last a school term before some parts go missing. I can't find Technic Beam 13 (aka Liftarm 1 x 13 thick) in Md-stone color from either peeron or bricklink.

Michael Anderson had a great idea for an NXT tool for BricxCC. He envisioned a PC screen which would show whatever was on the NXT screen, only scaled to a larger size.

Hi Christian, (...) the RS-485 interface is directly connected to the AT91SAM7S USART, so you can choose the bit rate quite freely. (...) No, it is not necessary, P-Net is just a field bus which seems to be popular in Denmark, there are others which (...) (18 years ago, 10-Apr-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt, lugnet.robotics.nxt.nxthacking)
