oh...my...gosh...

I didn't even *notice* that it used TWO rcx bricks...I was mistakenly seeing
it as an rcx brick turned sideways...wow, I'm DEFINITELY not going to be
able to make one of those soon...fuggitaboutit...

me how many turrets that thing takes...

wow, I count, like, 6...man, those things are expensive (about $10 a • piece I
think) and I only have one from my 8446...heh, I guess no MIBO for me for • a
while...anyone know of an english site that lists the parts you need for
that thing? Other than the turrets, it looks fairly standard...

I can see 7 turn tables (one for the head), 2 RCX bricks (even more • expensive)
which implies up to 6 motors, 2 Rotation sensors, about a hundred chain • links,
and ... 16 think rubber bands/tires (on it's feet - I don't think I have • that
many although I have 7 turn tables...)
I also seem to remember (I can't see it in this picture) that it has at • least
one light sensor (maybe more).
Apart from that... piece of cake!
