WHAT?!?!?!?! FREAKIN AWESOME!!!! I've been dying to get a Mindstorms kit for about a year now, but haven't really been able to afford it - the price of the NXT 2 kit seems to fluctuate wildly - almost got it for £110 when they came down at Argos but the HUKD crowd flooded the stores and they were gone in a heartbeat.

Registered 18 years agoIm going to build a time lapse robot. My plan is to make a small tank like thing and put my camera on top of it. Then male it drive slowly and take a picture every second or so.
I've seen some rail based time lapse robots but I want mine to be able to drive in arca or circles or what ever.
Haven't had the time to start yet due to being away over the weekend. Will get building soon though.
The box is kick ass geek heaven. Robots and lego. A match as well amde as Star Wars and lego. -

Registered 18 years agoYep. Its really confusing to me. I'm not used to the new type of Technics lego.
I built the basic starter robot last night and there were parts in there I've never seen. Will do some programming on that today. -

Registered 18 years agoI got it from my company so I really don't know. 170GBP is pretty cheap compared to prices in Sweden though. -

Registered 18 years agoBuilding a time lapse robot proved harder than I thought. The new way of building Technics takes some time to learn. I got a 1.0 up and running late last night. Will do some short films with that and then start improving it.
Loving the set. The whole build, program, test, re build, re program, polay, test, mod, finetune cycle is a joy. -

Registered 18 years agoIt's purely functional but that makes it look rather cool. Only problem is that my camera is mounted on the thing....
I could use my iPad to take some pictures I guess.
Anyhow. When I slowed the forward speed down I noticed that I have to make the part holding the camera much more steady. Slightest tilt will make the film look rather bumpy.
Here's an extended clip.
(As for the Falcon I have it squirelled away in the closet. That and the Endor Base... and a mobile police lab... and that awesome Creations whare you can build a Jetplane or a propeller plane or a swamp buggy)
Al for my son you see.... all for my son. -

Registered 15 years agoOk so heres the problem I've got. I dug out my collection of technic stuff and started building the various models. But lo-and-behold I'm a piece missing, a very long cross axle (says 32 in the book). Where can I buy single pieces?
I tried the official Lego store but they didn't have it. -

Registered 16 years agoDo you have the set number? Try going through their 'missing piece' service on the S@H site, LEGO's customer service is very good. Or try bricklink and ebay. -

Registered 15 years agoYeah, bricklist the set and it will have the part numbers you'll need. Wish I had that service in the early 90's! -
