Jim,
I concurr with others' opinions - nice job on the design of the structure.
I'm curious on how you managed the black crossbream effect on the front of the
plant.
By the way, I noticed Learningsmith (at least in my area) has Mindstorms kits
(and other stuff) for 20% off. If you've got one in your area, that adds up
to $40 in savings. You can check them out at
http://www.learningsmith.com/home.htm. Their on-line catalog isn't fully
functional yet, but it may be worth the effort to track a store down, as I
rarely see Mindstorms kits on sale.
Good luck, and thanks for the pics of your coal processing plant. I wish I
had the patience to make such an impressive building!
Ed
