| (...) There are daily "feeding time" events at 1:00pm in the Technic/Mindstorms room. This is like feeding time at the sea-lion exhibit at the zoo. All the animals wake up and run around 'cos they're being fed. Well, at BrickFest, feeding time is (...) (20 years ago, 12-Aug-04, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.robotics)

| (...) So, what *is* a Spybot Swarm? It's on the schedule, but there's no description. I have a Gigamesh I can bring, but what accessories (if any) does it need? (I outfitted it with fat tires because the cloppety-clop tri-wheels annoyed me.) Please (...) (20 years ago, 12-Aug-04, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.robotics)

| (...) Well, you can turn lights on and off using polarity reversor. (URL) can use 9V cables to run the power across the setup. Use a simple 9V battery box plus batteries for power. Use whatever you want for lamps. (...) Yes, stick to 9V, and buy (...) (20 years ago, 12-Aug-04, to lugnet.technic)

|
| Hi all, I am about to start building a truck. 4 axles, front 2 steered and the last axles will have paired set of tires. I would think that the rear axles are only driven. Is it the case in most trucks? Will a dump truck be like that? I need some (...) (20 years ago, 11-Aug-04, to lugnet.technic)

If I had the time and money for a Mindstorms set, I wouldn't be asking the question. :) Anyway, it seems rather overkill to buy an entire robotics kit when I just want to be able to turn on a (Minifig-scale) porch (...)

| (...) Well I just got an 8369. This is basically an RC car and NOT a LEGO set. It is a great RC car but the building system is completely new although the shocks and chasis have Technic connection points. I suppose the only part that would be (...)

| (...) Scott Lyttle has a 8369 and brought it to the NGLTC club house this summer. As for an RC Car, it's real nice, right up there with the ones you'd get at a hobby store. As far as a LEGO set....you'd almost never know it's a LEGO set. I only (...) (20 years ago, 10-Aug-04, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
