Re: Best Robot Idea Ever!!

Cost aside, regular Lego/Technic pieces just aren't made to stand up to long term use either.

I think I remember seeing a block over on NXTa-woops. darn. Guess we're going to have to recreate that index of NXT-G blocks. I was in the process of creating a back-up on th Lroboticas wiki.

Re: Lego Robotics StackExchange site
