MYRON Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 That is too cool. I have been a big Lego fan for many years. I currently have a few of the robotic discovery sets that have most of the parts used in that crane. there are some all metal parts used that I think are a custom piece. The Robotics set has motors,photocells,touch sensors,light sensors, and even a PC programable IR box... Pretty cool stuff! Myron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratedZ Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 Wow that is too cool! I grew up on that stuff. I just gave three full boxes of Lego stuff to my little cousin last year and he loves it. It sure does bring back memories... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullbound Posted July 6, 2002 Author Share Posted July 6, 2002 yeah, i grew up on legos. i gave mine away a long time ago, but i wish i hadnt. there's an endless source of lego goodies available online that will knock your socks off. for instance: http://www.thereverend.com/brick_testament/ is really good. there are LEGO CAD programs available that allow you to build and document just about anything you would possibly want to build. there's a site that has EVERY lego instruction manual ever to come with a lego set. and there's even a lego porn site... some people have too much time on their hands, but i dont seem to have enough of it.
