| Congratulations Eric! Maybe this is the dawn of those outside of the hobby taking Lego seriously as a tool for creating sculptures and robots. I will admit being disappointed to see such a promising project left, but then I am still heartened to (...) (19 years ago, 12-Sep-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.build.mecha)

| Well, after 5 years and almost 2 million page views, I decided that brickfrenzy.com's late 1990's design had worn out its welcome. So I set out to design a new one.

| (...) I have a book "How Things Work" ISBN 0-75254-078-5, that shows a scraper (the one that collects the earth rather than just pushing it to one side like a grader). A grader is quite simple, with the front pair of wheels on top of the ungraded (...) (19 years ago, 10-Sep-05, to lugnet.technic)
