GBC Balls?

I have been looking for some reasonable priced GBC balls but the Lego made ones are waaaay to expensive. I was wondering if anyone knew of a cheaper solution?

Thanks!

Brush or Brushless?

I have been trying to find out whether or not the NXT (and Technic) motors are brushless? Because I know brushless motors don't last that long, and I have had my NXT for 5+ years... Thanks!

Re: Lego gravel

My next project is a robot digger of some type and a robot dump truck. And, of course these will need some type of gravel to move. I want to keep everything LEGO parts, so am pondering how to create "gravel". I'm thinking of using 1x1 bricks, either square or round mixed with 1x1 round pl...

Labview programming tutorial

I have had labview for awhile now and I just can't seem to find any tutorials on how to program the NXT or the Tetrix set. :cry: I have found some but they don't go deep... If anybody knows of one I would really appreciate it :D

Transitioning from NXT-G to Labview?

I am getting Labview to program my Tetrix set through the NXT and I was wondering how easy is it to transition from NXT-G to Labview? I talked to someone at Lego Education and they said it was basically the same just a little bit different, is that true?
