| Hey guys- I just found out something on the new technic crane that'll be coming out this Fall. According to one site, this model will be out in August, at a price of over $150.00. But I guess with such a high price, the model will be good. Here is (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)

It all started when JP Brown (famous for his Rubik Cube Solver out of LEGO), made the bold statement that you could not do boolean logic using LEGO pneumatics, because of the switches.

| how do you do that? ???...??? With pieces from ONE set? I always run out of pieces or need another one of that piece (etc.). Yours look like they all belong there.
