(...) Hmmm... Looking at these, I've noticed a few things: Is it me or is the TIE pilot just a Stormtrooper painted black? The helmets look like the same piece. Is the intake vent under the shuttle's dorsal a new piece or some weird optical-illusion (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

| | Improving Mindstorms R2???
|

I just nabbed a second copy of the Mindstorms Droid Developer Kit[1], and I've been thinking about how to make a better R2, and what the functions should be. Then I realized I wasn't even sure what functions the reel R2 has... So, in the interests (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)

(...) We'll start with the fact that I detest clones. I know not everyone feels that way, but I don't like to use them. Apart from that, though, there's a fairly simple LEGO solution... the 'L' shaped plate (the one with a 2x2 area on both sides of (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Woo hoo! My favorite type of piece as a kid is going to return in the AT-ST set! The 2x2 reverse slope printed as a monitor/control panel! Ok, so this one is a wee bit Star Wars specific... but still, it means I can hold out hope of seeing a more (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)
