At the time the hollow stud appeared on the minifig heads, however, functionality was certainly not the main interest, so I would bet on mould complexity. Of course, since it added functionality anyway, you can count on designer to use it. So it's a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem: did the designer ask for the new functionality first, or did the mould change first? In this case, I would say the latter.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Vcian.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/kAD1V.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Q6o8l.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/wdfOY.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

In the past, things were way less rational.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm not so sure it influences part redesign, but it could. At the time the hollow stud appeared on the minifig heads, however, functionality was certainly not the main interest, so I would bet on mould complexity. Of course, since it added functionality anyway, you can count on designer to use it. So it's a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem: did the designer ask for the new functionality first, or did the mould change first? In this case, I would say the latter.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Vcian.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/kAD1V.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Q6o8l.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/wdfOY.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

You'll notice that each stud is hollow, but from below. Why? Simply because there's no need to have it full with material as it serves no purpose. It's easy to make the mould that way, it doesn't remove any functionality of the brick, everybody is happy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now take a Technic beam and look at it from under. The Technic holes make it way more difficult to have a mould which has cavities under the studs. So the easy solution is to have the cavity in the stud itself, which has the added benefit of adding functionality to the stud itself. Also, I suspect that the sturdiness of a Technic beam is better if the upper side is full.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note it's just speculation; but most of the times you need to analyze a part with the eyes of a LEGO producer (use as less plastic as possible), and of a designer (have a part which fits with as many other parts as possible). Nowadays, it's likely they would use hollow studs more and more, and I wouldn't be surprised if they end up on regular bricks some day — but that's going to take a while as there is a third factor in play: brand recognition. regular LEGO bricks have full studs, with the LEGO engraving, and that's not seomthing which LEGO will easily accept to replace.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As you seemed to be aware of, it is difficult to get individual bricks from these individual sellers. Having to pay separate shipping from various buyers plus the unreasonable prices can really add up. Then theres [LEGO Shop][1]. Here, you can buy LEGOs directly from the LEGO company. You can individually purchase bricks from [Pick-A-Brick][2], or buy their [currently advertising sets][3]. The downside to this is that they obviously do not carry discontinued sets, and the selection in [Pick-A-Brick][4] is limited. Additionally, the prices are unsatisfyingly high, making the bucks add up quickly. Then, theres [Bricklink][5]. You seem to be aware of this website. I like it very much. It is, in many people's opinions, the best source from which to accquire LEGOs. The prices are cheap, it carries almost every piece and set ever released, (even discontinued ones) the tools for finding bricks are useful, and most of the people there are pretty nice. The interface is quite useful, you just have to be familiar with it. Once you get used to it, I'm sure it won't seem so &quot;chunky&quot; to you. For detailed help, enter the [chat room][6].

In Miniland scale, figures are formed with 2-3 blocks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Miniland scale {if I remember correctly} didn't gain popularity until recently. It's so far been popularly used in the LEGO Architecture sets, and in a few others of common landmarks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's also common to see three-to-five-dollar packages that contain buildable models {sold in the LEGO stores} in the Miniland scale.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A Miniland Flickr group is [here][1] if you want to see what Miniland style 1 is.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Miniland style 2 {used by Legoland amusement parks and a few LEGO sets} ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I believe that the LEGO amusement parks use something close to miniland scale. It is, however, much different than normal Miniland scale. I know this is true for the one in Billund, but I'm not sure about the one in California.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Here][2] and [here][3] are the pages of Minilands Billund and California, respectively.

As Zaph-Ben Duguid pointed out, the Legoland amusement parks are called Miniland, but do not use the Miniland scale.

Text="First off, as you mentioned, Ebay is not the greatest place on the net to get bricks. As you seemed to be aware of, it is difficult to get individual bricks from these individual sellers. Having to pay separate shipping from various buyers plus the unreasonable prices can really add up.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then there's [LEGO Shop][1]. Here, you can buy LEGOs directly from the LEGO company. You can individually purchase bricks from [Pick-A-Brick][2], or buy their [currently advertising sets][3]. The downside to this is that they obviously do not carry discontinued sets, and the selection in [Pick-A-Brick][4] is limited. Additionally, the prices are unsatisfyingly high, making the bucks add up quickly. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then, there's [Bricklink][5]. You seem to be aware of this website. I like it very much. It is, in many people's opinions, the best source from which to acquire LEGOs. The prices are cheap, it carries almost every piece and set ever released, (even discontinued ones) the tools for finding bricks are useful, and most of the people there are pretty nice. The interface is quite useful, you just have to be familiar with it. Once you get used to it, I'm sure it won't seem so &quot;chunky&quot; to you. For detailed help, enter the [chat room][6].

In Mini scale/style, figures are formed with 2-3 blocks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Mini scale/style {if I remember correctly} didn't gain popularity until recently. It's so far been popularly used in the LEGO Architecture sets, and in a few others of common landmarks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's also common to see three-to-five-dollar packages that contain buildable models {sold in the LEGO stores} in the Mini scale/style.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Miniland style {used by Legoland amusement parks and a few LEGO sets} ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I believe that the LEGO amusement parks use something close to miniland scale. It is, however, much different than normal Mini style/scale. One notable fact is that the people have larger heads. I know this is true for the one in Billund, but I'm not sure about the one in California.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Here][2] and [here][3] are the pages of Minilands Billund and California, respectively.

As Zaph-Ben Duguid pointed out, the Legoland amusement parks are called Miniland, but do not use the Mini scale/style. They use a strange hybrid between DUPLO and LEGO Mini scale/style.

However, Maersk realized the demand was high (LEGO did consider making a version fo the ships in another color altogether at some point) and agreed to have LEGO make a new batch to later on.

(Consider the openness around the various Mindstorms systems, for example.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The key here is that LEGO is very protective of its own brand and image, but as long as you don't infringe on that, you're most likely to be OK. In the case of custom molding, it means you can't make any part that LEGO makes or has made itself, and of course you can't pretend it's LEGO at all.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And then you have to hope that LEGO doesn't want to copy you, but even there they can play nice if they feel it's best for them. For an example, take the development of the Emerald Night train. When LEGO started thinking about that, they didn't produce big wheels; but one of the fans who participated in a workshop brought [Big Ben Bricks](http://bigbenbricks.com/) train wheels with him, and by showing LEGO the great models they could build with them, them managed to have LEGO change its position and produce some larger wheels.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Whether LEGO had talks with Big Ben Bricks, or what could have been discussed in these talks, is unknown; but you can notice that Big Ben Bricks still exists eventhough LEGO knows about them. Moreover, LEGO doesn't produce all sizes that BBB does, and even then in limited sets and quantities only (always 4 regulars and 2 blinds together), so that it's likely LEGO tries not to impede too much on BBB.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I a way, I think LEGO is very conscious that these companies fill a gap that they themselves can't, or don't want. As such, as long as these companies play nice, LEGO knows better than to go after them." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

After checking with LEGO, it appeared that the change wasn't really intentionnal but that LEGO didn't think it would matter, considering the parts kept the same functionality despite of the aesthetics being different.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At that point, LEGO confirmed that future slopes would continue to be textured (again, depending on which part), but that the stock of smooth ones would still be used so that it could take a while before it was depleted.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You may want to read [this lugnet discussion](http://news.lugnet.com/ambassadors/?n=313&amp;t=i&amp;v=a) on the topic."

Most of the time, you'll have a specific part in a specific color in mind, and need to find it as fast as possible. But not always! Sometimes you don't care what color the part is in (invisible support structure), or maybe you can't see it (blind kids). In most cases, form is at least as important as color, but sometimes it's just color you're after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So what is sorting? Sorting is a way to do some of the finding work in advance, so that when you need that particular part, you don't have to waste too much time. You'll also win serious time on the sorting since you do it for a lot of parts at the same time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Let's assume you're afetr a specific part in a specific color, which will be most of the time. So that means your parts have to be sorted both by color and by form. That may prove too impractical for normal people, but keep in mind some serious builders do that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So the trick is, since you have two sorting criteria, you use one at the moment of building, and the other when storing or sorting parts (with discipline&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, you'll sort when storing). Usually, you'll want to do as much tedious work when sorting, so you'll keep the color-sorting for when you're building. Color-sorting is the fastest, just think of a tub with all red bricks of all sorts and find 5 1x1 bricks in it, then picture the same task from a tub full of 1x1 bricks of all colors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Again, this depends on what you'll end up doing with the bricks; if you want to build a lot of 2-studs-wide uniform walls for example, maybe a tub with one color of 2xn bricks makes more sense than separating the 2x2, 2x3 in different color tubs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In any case, keep in mind the ideal is to have each part in each color stored separately. If this is impractical, consider mixing parts which have as little in common as possible. If one container holds 1x3 and 1x4 bricks together, it will be more trouble to pick them apart than if you mix 1x1 and 2x3. Or, maybe you can mix 2L Technic axles with 1x2 slopes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And the last thing to consider is how many of the part you have. If you have 2000 blue 1x1 bricks, and only a few dozens of other colors, don't mix them. Separate the blue ones and the others, or better, separate the blue ones but keep a few mixed with the others, so that the nearly-2000 blue-only 1x1 bricks can go to long-term storage. Similarly, make sure that rare parts for which you only have a few are easy to find, even if that means they have to have their own storage bin (maybe they can be mixed together, though)."

The colors before the change were the original grey colors which were in use from their introduction. They were somewhat warmer than the colors today, which was perceived as looking faded, though it had nothing to do with aging. Part of the problem was that the competition (Megabloks) was using more blueish greys, which made the LEGO greys look old.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The newer colors have a colder, blueish tone, and were widely disliked in the AFOL community, because most of the time they look awful if used together with the existing old grey pieces. Depending on the lighting it can also be quite hard to tell old and new greys apart.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hence the term &quot;bley&quot; is used as a derogatory name for the new blueish grey."

Here, you can buy LEGOs directly from the LEGO company. You can individually purchase bricks from [Pick-A-Brick][2], or buy their [currently advertised sets][3]. The downside to this is that they obviously do not carry discontinued sets, and the selection in [Pick-A-Brick][4] is limited. Additionally, the prices are unsatisfyingly high, making the bucks add up quickly. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then, there's [Bricklink][5]. You seem to be aware of this website. I like it very much. It is, in many people's opinions, the best source from which to acquire LEGOs. The prices are cheap, it carries almost every piece and set ever released, (even discontinued ones) the tools for finding bricks are useful, and most of the people there are pretty nice.

Also, in the case of Maersk, LEGO used their entire supply in 2006 and said at the time that they wouldn't issue Maersk sets again because of that. However, Maersk realized the demand was high (LEGO did consider making a version fo the ships in another color altogether at some point) and agreed to have LEGO make a new batch to later on. So these are in effect different batches, separated by a few years, which means any hue change will be more likely to be noticed than if it appeared gradually over time.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Text="Around 2004 (if I remember correctly) LEGO changed the grey and dark grey colors. The colors before the change were the original grey colors which were in use from their introduction. They were somewhat warmer than the colors today, which was perceived as looking faded, though it had nothing to do with aging. Part of the problem was that the competition (Megabloks) was using more blueish greys, which made the LEGO greys look old.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The newer colors have a colder, blueish tone, and were widely disliked in the AFOL community, because most of the time they look awful if used together with the existing old grey pieces. Depending on the lighting it can also be quite hard to tell old and new greys apart.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hence the term &quot;bley&quot; is used as a derogatory name for the new blueish grey.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Bley and Old dark-grey][1]&lt;br /&gt; [BrickShelf][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/jhrae.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Halofan92/BloodGulchBase/dscn3298.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

In the LEGO Group, we acknowledge that conflict in play is especially prevalent among 4-9-year-old boys. &#xD;&#xA;An inner drive and a need to experiment with their own aggressive feelings in order to learn about other people’s aggressions exist in most children. This in turn enables them to handle and recognize conflict in non-play scenarios. As such, the LEGO Group sees &#xD;&#xA;conflict play as perfectly acceptable, and an integral part of children’s development.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; We also acknowledge children’s well-proven ability to tell play from reality. however, to make sure to maintain the right balance between play and conflict, we have adhered to a set of unwritten rules for several years. In 2010, we have formalized these rules in a guideline for the use of conflict and weapons in LEGO products. The basic aim is to avoid realistic weapons and military equipment that children may recognize from hot spots around the world and to refrain from showing violent or frightening situations when communicating about LEGO products. At the same time, the purpose is for the LEGO brand not to be associated with issues that glorify conflicts and unethical or harmful behavior.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Page 26 of the 2010 report.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://aboutus.lego.com/en-US/corporate/default.aspx" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As Zhaph-Ben Duguid pointed out, the Legoland amusement parks are called Miniland, but do not use the Mini scale/style. They use a strange hybrid between DUPLO and LEGO Mini scale/style.

It's already been worked out by multiple groups. So because the question will keep coming up, we could at least review what already exists.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's hard to imagine even talking about how to classify pieces without constantly linking to those other sites for their pictures.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To really appreciate the magnitude of the problem, just try classifying every part in your own collection. Make your own categories or try to follow somebody's elses. You will raise a lot of questions about how broad the categories should be. Everybody with a storage system goes through this. Do this before debating.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Existing Classification Schemes&#xD;&#xA;-------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [Consider BrickLink's categories](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogTree.asp?itemType=P), which are up to 188 categories containing 25,096 parts as of this writing. In this scheme, there are no subcategories, only 2 levels. The category Brick covers 70 parts, but has 7 co-categories like Brick, Decorated (1356) and Brick, Round (38). Brick, Round shares some close neighbors in a separate group, Cylinder(47) (both terms inherited from LDRAW, by the way.) You could reasonably argue about membership characteristics for classifying under Brick, Round or Cylinder or even whether there should be two groups.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [LDRAW](http://www.ldraw.org), originated by James Jessiman), didn't categorize parts hierarchically, but for many parts the first word or two makes a genus.  Programs such as [http://mlcad.lm-software.com/](MLCAD) displayed some of these categories in a menu but invited you to think of the big list &quot;like the rummage in the Lego box.&quot; As of this writing, LDRAW covers 5,377 parts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [Peeron](http://peeron.com/inv) is an example of an exhaustive set database using LDRAW's part numbers and names. Peeron didn't introduce a hierarchy of its own.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [PartsRef](http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/), by Steve Bliss, a major LDRAW parts author, attempted to categorize the LDRAW parts hierarchically. It had 22 top level categories, for instance: Architectural, having subcategories like Doors. However the Plate category remained undivided and included all the plates with various protrusions. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [LEGO Digital Designer](http://ldd.lego.com/) is a newer example with its brick palettes (sorry, I'm not a user.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [Pick-a-Brick](http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Pick-A-Brick-ByTheme) as of this writing uses 42 categories, some of which are very broad. For instance, &quot;Brick, Special&quot; is one category (currently 155 parts) that other schemes divide into various groups for round bricks, modified bricks, cylinders, hinges, cones, etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [Auczilla](http://web.archive.org/web/20000824023550/http://www.auczilla.com/lego/xiii/) by Todd Lehman and Suzanne Rich (circa 1996-2000) had another exhaustive parts scheme that excelled in its use of geometric adjectives for part names, such as Half-Octagonal (debatable on math grounds) and Quarter-Round, Convex and Concave. The link is from Internet Wayback but shows the top categories. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Finally, [Technica](http://isodomos.com/technica/registry/registry.php) (1999) was another attempt at classifying just Technic parts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the end, some parts are placed into categories primarily by geometry, others by function, yet others by historical origin. You could also conceivably group bricks by building function (I'm thinking of direction-changing rectilinear bricks) or even by simply the number of studs (I'm thinking of a Kanji dictionary.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Part Names Make Classification Muddier&#xD;&#xA;--------------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Consider the language barrier: if you read Lego's English Pick-A-Brick names, you realize it's translated (from Danish). A major category is &quot;Brick, Bow&quot;  also known as an Arch.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Dome*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![30367 or 553](http://img.lugnet.com/ld/553.gif)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Consider 30367, LEGO's &quot;Final Brick&quot; filed under Bricks, Special. Perhaps they meant Finial? LDRAW calls it a [Cylinder with Dome Top](http://peeron.com/inv/parts/553). BrickLink puts it under Brick, Round (remember BrickLink has both categories Cylinder and Brick, Round from its LDRAW heritage.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Jumper Plate*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Jumper Plate](http://img.lugnet.com/ld/3794.gif)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Jumper Plate is one name that made perfect sense to Europeans but baffled Americans; to James Jessiman (Australian) it was a [Plate 1 x 2 with 1 Stud](http://peeron.com/inv/parts/3794). I recall Auczilla used the adjective Offset in there. In Pick-A-Brick it's now a Plate 1x2 With 1 Knob. Or should it be a tile because it's mostly flat?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Loudhailer*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Loudhailer](http://img.lugnet.com/ld/4349.gif)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then there are multi-purpose parts: describe [4349](http://peeron.com/inv/parts/4349) geometrically and it's another cone. But it could be a Minifig Weapon, or just Minifig Utensil. In LDRAW, it's a Loudhailer and has no category as such. The American term would be a Megaphone but many know it as Star Wars Blaster. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Multiply this complexity by thousands, and you get an idea that the task of naming is never settled. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Part Numbers&#xD;&#xA;------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Many LEGO bricks have part numbers imprinted from the mold. This is now called a &quot;Design ID&quot; by LEGO. It served as the original basis for LDRAW part numbers. However, LDRAW invented its own numbers for parts with no number. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;About the year 2000, LEGO introduced a 7 digit &quot;Element ID&quot; to designate a particular design in a particular color. These numbers began to be used internally at LEGO for Building Instructions software, and externally in LEGO Creator software products. They are now shown in official set inventories and in Pick-A-Brick.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Conclusion&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This should give you an idea why different name and category schemes don't align. We start by talking about the same LEGO pieces but we bring preferred names from childhood or later (I always referred and still refer to 1xN bricks as 1-bumper, 2-bumper, etc.) We group them according to geometry or function, but find new reasons to subdivide or revise to make the groups more intuitive. New parts challenge these categories.  LEGO does not seem to have given the problem much thought or care, lumping parts into catch-all categories. I derive immense satisfaction from solving a problem of devising a part's genus and differentia, but I realize that just like in the taxonomy of living things, there is competition between systems, and endless revision.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This facilitates plastic flow as well as dimensional stability (you want uniform shrinkage on cooling.) Removing a divot from the underside of a stud serves this purpose in a regular brick.   The Technic brick with through holes would have had a large amount of solid plastic under the stud compared to regular bricks, which could create undesirable shrinkage and warping from stress in cooling. So removing the top divot helps there. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, if you examine a 1x16 beam from Expert Builder, you can observe a plastic channel running along the underside between studs 4 to 13 (which are injection gates; also stud 8, or 9.) The 1x8 doesn't have this. This channel would let the plastic flow away from the injection gate without turning too many corners. It's also possible LEGO used a reciprocal molding action where plastic is pressed in one gate, then another, in a rocking action, to facilitate welding of the multiple injection streams. Solid studs might lessen the effectiveness of this process, but the channel helps it. If the channel was necessary to produce a 1x16 beam back in the day, and the channel forced hollow studs, then the hollow stud style was the only way to make a 1x16 beam. The technical difficulty of making a new, longer brick (beam) may have influenced the look of the whole Expert Builder system. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That's only my theory, but you can still see the channel for yourself. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My tests also indicate the hollow stud separates from another beam more easily than a common solid stud would.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It remains possible though that they were just maximizing the usefulness of the part by making the stud hollow. Though the fun part of being an engineer is maximizing more than one property at once. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So my thought is the hollow stud came from various molding principles.

The colors before the change were the original grey colors which were in use from their introduction. They were somewhat warmer than the colors today, which was perceived as looking faded, though it had nothing to do with aging. Part of the problem was that the competition (Megabloks) was using more blueish greys, which made the LEGO greys look old.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The newer colors have a colder, blueish tone, and were widely disliked in the AFOL community, because most of the time they look awful if used together with the existing old grey pieces.

I'd suggest using one [Technic Axle 8 with Stop](http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/55013) (![55013 — Technic Axle 8 with Stop][1]), on which you first slide 3 regular [Technic, Brick 1 x 2 with Hole](http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3700) (![3700 — Technic, Brick 1 x 2 with Hole][2]) which will be attached to one half of your model, then 5 [Technic, Brick 1 x 2 with Axle hole](http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/32064) (![32064 — Technic, Brick 1 x 2 with Axle hole][3]) which will be attached to the other. Maybe the strain on the axle will be too much (I read it's [prone to breaking](http://bricks.stackexchange.com/q/360)), but it could be worth trying.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And if that's not solid enough, build a staple of 2x2 round plates around an axle, fix that to one half of the model, and build a hole on the other half to have it slide in (a square hole is fine and easy to build: just a two bricks wide, two bricks high gap and you cover the studs underneath with a tile. Use archs if you want for the higher half, but don't bother for the bottom one). Of course you have to finish the pseudo-axle with something bigger than 2x2 to lock it in place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And if THAT's not enough, there are 4x4 round plates now with which you could do the same.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/a4Pas.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/gtv3a.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6QoN4.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Text="First off, as you mentioned, Ebay is not the greatest place on the net to get bricks. As you seem to be aware of, it is difficult to get individual bricks from these individual sellers. Having to pay separate shipping from various buyers plus the unreasonable prices can really add up.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then there's [LEGO Shop][1]. Here, you can buy LEGOs directly from the LEGO company. You can individually purchase bricks from [Pick-A-Brick][2], or buy their [currently advertised sets][3]. The downside to this is that they obviously do not carry discontinued sets, the selection in [Pick-A-Brick][4] is limited, and the prices are unsatisfyingly high, making the bucks add up quickly. Shipping times can be pretty quick and cheap, that is, if they're not currently having any difficulties with their warehouse. If they are, then orders can be delayed by a large amount of time, which has happened to me twice. I once placed an order there which took nearly two months to arrive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then, there's [Bricklink][5]. You seem to be aware of this website. I like it very much. It is, in many people's opinions, the best source from which to acquire LEGOs. The prices are cheap, it carries almost every piece and set ever released, (even discontinued ones) the tools for finding bricks are useful, and most of the people there are pretty nice. The interface is quite useful, you just have to be familiar with it. Once you get used to it, I'm sure it won't seem so &quot;clunky&quot; to you. For detailed help, enter the [chat room][6]. The people there are very nice, and will be happy to you point you in the right direction.&#xD;&#xA;Shipping times vary depending on which area you buy from. Buying from within your country might generate shipping the speed of TLG on their best days. Bricklink, however, is much less likely to have technical difficulties as each order is just an individual seller sending something off to the post office, and has therefore generally been more reliable in my experience.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Pick-A-Brick-ByTheme&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/ByTheme&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Pick-A-Brick-ByTheme&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://www.bricklink.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://www.bricklink.com/chatLogin.asp" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Text="It's been worked out by multiple groups who decided on different systems. The disagreement is based on what information was publicly available from the Lego Group at the time, what pieces had been manufactured up to that point, and what features the category authors thought were salient.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To really appreciate the magnitude of the problem, just try classifying every part in your own collection. Make your own categories or try to follow somebody's elses. You will raise a lot of questions about how broad the categories should be. Everybody with a storage system goes through this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Existing Classification Schemes&#xD;&#xA;-------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [Consider BrickLink's categories](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogTree.asp?itemType=P), which are up to 188 categories containing 25,096 parts as of this writing. In this scheme, there are no subcategories, only 2 levels. The category Brick covers 70 parts, but has 7 co-categories like Brick, Decorated (1356) and Brick, Round (38). Brick, Round shares some close neighbors in a separate group, Cylinder(47) (both terms inherited from LDRAW, by the way.) You could reasonably argue about membership characteristics for classifying under Brick, Round or Cylinder or even whether there should be two groups.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [LDRAW](http://www.ldraw.org), originated by James Jessiman), didn't categorize parts hierarchically, but for many parts the first word or two makes a genus.  Programs such as [http://mlcad.lm-software.com/](MLCAD) displayed some of these categories in a menu but invited you to think of the big list &quot;like the rummage in the Lego box.&quot; As of this writing, LDRAW covers 5,377 parts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [Peeron](http://peeron.com/inv) is an example of an exhaustive set database using LDRAW's part numbers and names. Peeron didn't introduce a hierarchy of its own.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [PartsRef](http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/), by Steve Bliss, a major LDRAW parts author, attempted to categorize the LDRAW parts hierarchically. It had 22 top level categories, for instance: Architectural, having subcategories like Doors. However the Plate category remained undivided and included all the plates with various protrusions. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [LEGO Digital Designer](http://ldd.lego.com/) is a newer example with its brick palettes (sorry, I'm not a user.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [Pick-a-Brick](http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Pick-A-Brick-ByTheme) as of this writing uses 42 categories, some of which are very broad. For instance, &quot;Brick, Special&quot; is one category (currently 155 parts) that other schemes divide into various groups for round bricks, modified bricks, cylinders, hinges, cones, etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [Auczilla](http://web.archive.org/web/20000824023550/http://www.auczilla.com/lego/xiii/) by Todd Lehman and Suzanne Rich (circa 1996-2000) had another exhaustive parts scheme that excelled in its use of geometric adjectives for part names, such as Half-Octagonal (debatable on math grounds) and Quarter-Round, Convex and Concave. The link is from Internet Wayback but shows the top categories. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Finally, [Technica](http://isodomos.com/technica/registry/registry.php) (1999) was another attempt at classifying just Technic parts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the end, some parts are placed into categories primarily by geometry, others by function, yet others by historical origin. You could also conceivably group bricks by building function (I'm thinking of direction-changing rectilinear bricks) or even by simply the number of studs (I'm thinking of a Kanji dictionary.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Part Names Make Classification Muddier&#xD;&#xA;--------------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Consider the language barrier: if you read Lego's English Pick-A-Brick names, you realize it's translated (from Danish). A major category is &quot;Brick, Bow&quot;  also known as an Arch.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Dome*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![30367 or 553](http://img.lugnet.com/ld/553.gif)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Consider 30367, LEGO's &quot;Final Brick&quot; filed under Bricks, Special. Perhaps they meant Finial? LDRAW calls it a [Cylinder with Dome Top](http://peeron.com/inv/parts/553). BrickLink puts it under Brick, Round (remember BrickLink has both categories Cylinder and Brick, Round from its LDRAW heritage.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Jumper Plate*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Jumper Plate](http://img.lugnet.com/ld/3794.gif)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Jumper Plate is one name that made perfect sense to Europeans but baffled Americans; to James Jessiman (Australian) it was a [Plate 1 x 2 with 1 Stud](http://peeron.com/inv/parts/3794). I recall Auczilla used the adjective Offset in there. In Pick-A-Brick it's now a Plate 1x2 With 1 Knob. Or should it be a tile because it's mostly flat?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Loudhailer*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Loudhailer](http://img.lugnet.com/ld/4349.gif)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then there are multi-purpose parts: describe [4349](http://peeron.com/inv/parts/4349) geometrically and it's another cone. But it could be a Minifig Weapon, or just Minifig Utensil. In LDRAW, it's a Loudhailer and has no category as such. The American term would be a Megaphone but many know it as Star Wars Blaster. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Multiply this complexity by thousands, and you get an idea that the task of naming is never settled. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Part Numbers&#xD;&#xA;------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Many LEGO bricks have part numbers imprinted from the mold. This is now called a &quot;Design ID&quot; by LEGO. It served as the original basis for LDRAW part numbers. However, LDRAW invented its own numbers for parts with no number. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;About the year 2000, LEGO introduced a 7 digit &quot;Element ID&quot; to designate a particular design in a particular color. These numbers began to be used internally at LEGO for Building Instructions software, and externally in LEGO Creator software products. They are now shown in official set inventories and in Pick-A-Brick.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Conclusion&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This should give you an idea why different name and category schemes don't align. We start by talking about the same LEGO pieces but we bring preferred names from childhood or later (I always referred and still refer to 1xN bricks as 1-bumper, 2-bumper, etc.) We group them according to geometry or function, but find new reasons to subdivide or revise to make the groups more intuitive. New parts challenge these categories.  LEGO does not seem to have given the problem much thought or care, lumping parts into catch-all categories. I derive immense satisfaction from solving a problem of devising a part's genus and differentia, but I realize that just like in the taxonomy of living things, there is competition between systems, and endless revision.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

One way around this is to develop a sorting system gradually.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Exactly how you sort will depend on the size of your collection, the profile of your pieces, the time you have available and the categories that are convenient to you.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##What not to do##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - As a general rule, don't bother sorting by color until you've already sorted by shape.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##General notes##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - You'll probably have an &quot;everything else&quot; container for a while. Don't worry about it.&#xD;&#xA; - This is your collection - sort things in a way that is convenient to you and into categories that are convenient to you.&#xD;&#xA; - Think about how you'll use the bricks. Sort for use rather than because the categories are neat. For example, I keep some wheels on axels rather than separating them out because I usually want them that way when I'm building.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Starting off##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - It is often easier to sort out the big bits first, because they're easiest to find.&#xD;&#xA; - Some things, like tangles cables and string can really make things messy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Get things out of the way:&#xD;&#xA; - Pull out the big base boards&#xD;&#xA; - Pull out any cables, winches or anything else that is prone to tangling&#xD;&#xA; - Pull out any really big parts&#xD;&#xA; - Pull out any instructions, catalogues etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Next steps##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Develop some broad categories of things that tend to be used together. Whenever you come across anything that belongs in these categories, pull them out into a separate container. You don't have to sort all of the bricks in these categories all at once - just pull them out whenever you find them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Examples of major categories:&#xD;&#xA;  - Technic&#xD;&#xA;  - Electronics&#xD;&#xA;  - Minifigs and their tools&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - As you go, pull out anything that really isn't lego:&#xD;&#xA;  - Duplo&#xD;&#xA;  - &quot;Heretic&quot; bricks (MegaBlocks etc.)&#xD;&#xA;  - Other toys&#xD;&#xA;  - Scraps of paper&#xD;&#xA;  - Fluff, twigs etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Sort by shape##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Stick similar parts together. Ignore color.&#xD;&#xA;  - Make stacks of 2x2 bricks&#xD;&#xA;  - Stick round things together&#xD;&#xA;  - Make stacks of plates. Offset the plates so they are easy to separate&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Whenever you come across pairs of pieces (e.g. wheels and their tires, right and left hand wings) stick them together. You'll probably need them as pairs when you're building.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Categorize by general purpose##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Stuff for vehicles&#xD;&#xA;  - Wheels and axels&#xD;&#xA;  - Windshields&#xD;&#xA;  - Wheel arches&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Stuff for buildings&#xD;&#xA;  - Doors and windows&#xD;&#xA;  - Fences&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Train stuff&#xD;&#xA; - Boat stuff&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Categorise by general shape##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Big bricks&#xD;&#xA; - Slopes&#xD;&#xA; - Round bricks&#xD;&#xA; - Arches&#xD;&#xA; - Plates&#xD;&#xA; - 1x? bricks&#xD;&#xA; - 2x? bricks&#xD;&#xA; - Hinges and turntables&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Sort strictly by shape##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - 1x1 bricks&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Finally, sort by color##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Where you have a lot of bricks the same shape, sort by color too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - 1x1 yellow bricks" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

We can roll them under the futon when it's not in use.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I love the sound of bricks when we're all digging around. &#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/FcYJF.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/5CRxH.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Of course, for parts which aren't produced yet, the prices is much higher, but how higher depend on a lot of factors (if the part exists but not in that color, if the parts fits well in the system,...). Deisgn teams may also want to bargain with other teams to have them support the cost development of a new part. Licensed themes may have a different cost structure because the licensees are sometimes willing to pay for a new part if it makes the model more realistic (most good hairdos come from licenses nowadays).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Once the designer has a model ready (it'll undergo quite a few tweaks along the way, of course), they'll hand it to another team which will be responsible for making sure the model can be built by kids, and possibly tweak it some more to make the instructions clearer (ever noticed why some hidden bricks have sometimes unexpected colors?).

Since it'll rotate freely, your added decoration can even be placed at an angle. Trees come to mind too: you can attach them to the Technic hole too, and maybe fill the green curved area with brown 1x1 round plates to symbolize earth.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The fact that it's green isn't always the most important aspect; sometimes you'll just need a big horizontal flat surface just for its flatness.

It seems quite likely that this was a deliberate attempt to prevent people from building tanks and military vehicles which in Europe were generally painted green. The creator of LEGO was known to be a pacifist and have strong opinions on the issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I remember that when the Pirates series came out in 1989 they were the first sets to include pieces that were explicitly firearms: muskets, pistols and canon. The Pirates series was also the first to include non smiling faces, allowing figures to show more emotion, including anger. Although LEGO castle sets had featured weapons a decade early, the constant smiles on the knights and guards suggested a lack of aggression.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Space sets have always had some ambiguity between what is a weapon and what is a scientific instrument, though the same trend is observed toward more conflict in later sets. Competition with other brick toys which feature military sets as well as movie tie-ins have caused conflict/aggression to be a major feature of many LEGO sets made more recently, which is probably what triggered LEGO's shift in official message on the subject, as detailed in the &lt;a href=&quot;http://aboutus.lego.com/en-US/corporate/default.aspx&quot;&gt;corporate responsibility report&lt;/a&gt; linked to above."

Lego is reusable. It's high-quality, durable, and you expect it to last many years. You might keep a construction together for some time, but always with the potential of being disassembled and turned into something else. Modifications like painting, cutting, or gluing are no longer reversible. You only make these changes when you're sure you don't need those pieces in their original state. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Have I irreversibly modified Lego? Yes: I've made small stickers, painted minifigs, or used a few bricks in a permanent decorative piece. Nor do I really feel I have to use *only* Lego. I would add a paper umbrella, a cardboard backdrop, a styrofoam support—anything I was sure wouldn't harm my bricks. On the other hand, I don't think I could bear to glue or paint a whole structure. (That's what other building toys and strategies are for, like modelmaking, dollhouse furniture, or model railroad set construction.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To me, construction of something too permanent would subvert one of the reasons I love Lego.

In the past, things were way less rational.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm not so sure it influences part redesign, but it could. At the time the hollow stud appeared on the minifig heads, however, functionality was certainly not the main interest, so I would bet on mould complexity. Of course, since it added functionality anyway, you can count on designer to use it. So it's a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem: did the designer ask for the new functionality first, or did the mould change first? In this case, I would say the latter.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT: Even if I answered the &quot;full stud&quot; against &quot;hollow stud&quot; part, I was intrigued by the &quot;anti-choking&quot; argument of having not only a hollow stud, but even one which was fully hollow, that is, you could see through it. So I asked Jan Beyer, LEGO community manager, about it and it turns out the &quot;non-choking&quot; reason was indeed correct. Here is his answer:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Fast answer:&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;This is correct, previous the hole was made in the element due to product safety if the element was swallowed.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;These regulations changes from time to time, and it has been evaluated and decided that the hole is no longer needed due to safety regulations.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Vcian.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/kAD1V.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Q6o8l.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/wdfOY.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

They even made another post the day afterward confessing that it was fake. Despite this, the rumor traveled to people who don't follow [The NXT STEP](http://www.thenxtstep.blogspot.com/), making its origins uncertain to them, and assumed it to have been announced by TLG. With the Robotics Invention System, they stopped at the 2.0, and just waited some years before releasing the NeXT generation. I expect the same pattern here. So just go ahead and buy the NXT 2.0. As for just Mindstorms set updates in general, there was once talk about expansion packs for the NXT kit that were supposed to be released by LEGO a few months later, but that discussion took place several years ago, so it's probably a no-go."

The average development period for a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; new product is around twelve months, in three stages. The first stage&#xD;&#xA;&gt; is to identify market trends and developments, including contact by&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the designers directly with the market; some are stationed in toy&#xD;&#xA;&gt; shops close to holiday periods, while others interview children. The&#xD;&#xA;&gt; second stage is the design and development of the product based upon&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the results of the first stage. As of September 2008 the design teams&#xD;&#xA;&gt; use 3D modeling software to generate CAD drawings from initial design&#xD;&#xA;&gt; sketches. The designs are then prototyped using an in-house&#xD;&#xA;&gt; stereolithography machine. These are presented to the entire project&#xD;&#xA;&gt; team for comment and for testing by parents and children during the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &quot;validation&quot; process. Designs may then be altered in accordance with&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the results from the focus groups. Virtual models of completed Lego&#xD;&#xA;&gt; products are built concurrently with the writing of the user&#xD;&#xA;&gt; instructions. Completed CAD models are also used in the wider&#xD;&#xA;&gt; organization, such as for marketing and packaging.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;source : [wikipedia][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## How lego used to do it ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;do you know?&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;## How people do it themselves&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lego provide software that does just that.

The minifigs for non-Lego brands were terrible and incompatible! Nothing beats the lovable, quirky shape to the official mini-figs. You often had to construct differently for the different dimensions of the non-Lego figures, or toss them out.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Non-Lego brands at the time would snap together with official Lego pieces, but the fit was different: either too much or not enough friction.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. At the time: Lego had the dominant brand, therefore, most of your pieces were likely to be Lego brand, so the fewer pieces of the non-Lego brand would be annoying for reasons 1 &amp; 2.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4.

The restriction to only use Lego parts challenged their creativity and forced them to work around issues without using non-Lego parts that would make the project &quot;easier.&quot; As other posters have noted, they felt that using non-Lego parts was &quot;cheating&quot; - a highly personal opinion. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One other factor that some purists have mentioned is that this restriction to use only Lego parts also permits **any other** Lego builder to replicate their project, if so desired. Some of these builders were scientists, and they liked the idea of being able to reproduce a project.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've also observed a sliding scale of purism - ranging from the use of only Lego parts but permitting the use of glue/stickers to the use of only official Lego parts/stickers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the other hand, my non-purist friends just want to make cool projects and don't care what parts or techniques they might use to accomplish their goals.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Again, there's no right or wrong answer, but I found that the purists enjoyed the challenge and wanted to allow others to replicate their work, while non-purists just liked the joy of building."

Clearly, it can be a problem under some circumstances, but is acceptable under others.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Unfortunately, none of this actually answers your original question, as there remain two possibilities:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Your assertion that &quot;at one point, Lego didn't really support putting a stud into a Technic hole, stating that it caused too much stress on the bricks&quot; may not be correct. The misaprehension may have arisen because Lego empasised the illegal uses of the technique, but down-played legal ones. In that case, we may assume that set designers simply chose not to use the technique (or were unaware thay they could because they, too, were misguided).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 2. The alternative explaination is that Lego did make a sweeping statement to this effect, but later realised that it needed clarification. In which case, Jamie's presentation in 2006 seems to be the first clear public statement of the more detailed rules (of course, internal designers might well have been aware of the policy tweak much ealier, but still chosen not to use the technique). If there was such a policy adjustment, this would establish why the technique was not used until recently.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Without the text of Lego's earlier communications on the subject, it is difficult to know which explanation is the correct one. Either way, I'd urge you to look at the slides for Jamie's presentation. It is available online [in powerpoint format][1] and as a [pdf][2]. Apart from being an interesting read in their own right, they do at least make it clear that this specific case of stud-in-a-hole has been legal since 2006.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://cache.lego.com/downloads/brickfest2006/brickstress.ppt&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://bramlambrecht.com/tmp/jamieberard-brickstress-bf06.pdf" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This is the situation in your example.&#xD;&#xA; - Where the combination of technic and system bricks results in an assembly where components interfere with each other, this can stress the parts. However, this is not the case in the example you cited.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;According to these rules, then, the example you give is *not* illegal. Clearly, it can be a problem under some circumstances, but is acceptable under others.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Unfortunately, none of this actually answers your original question, as there remain two possibilities:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Your assertion that &quot;at one point, Lego didn't really support putting a stud into a Technic hole, stating that it caused too much stress on the bricks&quot; may not be correct. The misaprehension may have arisen because Lego empasised the illegal uses of the technique, but down-played legal ones. In that case, we may assume that set designers simply chose not to use the technique (or were unaware thay they could because they, too, were misguided).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 2. The alternative explaination is that Lego did make a sweeping statement to this effect, but later realised that it needed clarification. In which case, Jamie's presentation in 2006 seems to be the first clear public statement of the more detailed rules (of course, internal designers might well have been aware of the policy tweak much ealier, but still chosen not to use the technique). If there was such a policy adjustment, this would establish why the technique was not used until recently.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Without the text of Lego's earlier communications on the subject, it is difficult to know which explanation is the correct one. Either way, I'd urge you to look at the slides for Jamie's presentation. It is available online [in powerpoint format][1] and as a [pdf][2]. Apart from being an interesting read in their own right, they also make it clear that this single stud-in-a-hole has been legal since at least 2006.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://cache.lego.com/downloads/brickfest2006/brickstress.ppt&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://bramlambrecht.com/tmp/jamieberard-brickstress-bf06.pdf" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If you're lazy to figure out how, you can [buy a kit from a fan](http://www.blokbricks.com/contents/en-us/p104.html?lmd=40799.435417) which will allow you to control 2 points (you'll need one more pump to generate the pressure). With the included instructions, you can build more controls if you have the parts, or simply buy more kits. (He also sells compatible pneumatic hose by the meter, and his custom waggons are nice as well).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;His design is very compact, probably much more than you'll be able to get with electrical power; plus, it saves energy. The only drawback in my opinion is the hoses which you'll need to run from your control station to each point, which are slightly larger that electrical cables.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another typical solution is to use a motor which controls the point. This will take more place, and you have to be careful that the motor doesn't run too far (use a [clutch gear](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=60c01)). One promising way is to use the new small linear actuator: [![Technic Linear Actuator Mini][1]](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=92693c01) which should behave more or less like the mini pneumatic pump; but of course any other Technical solution should be good. Use your imagination, or dive into [BrickShelf](http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=remote+points&amp;stype=fi) in search of inspiration.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, you'll need to run electrical wires, or use infrared receivers, but then you'll be limited in the number of points you can control. Note that sometimes, the configuration of your layout means that pairs of switches can be controlled together (think of a bypass to change from one track to the other), so that you can spare some control channels, or wires.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;--&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Non-LEGO solutions can be achieved with about anything, including solenoids (electrical actuators), which LEGO doesn't produce.

Using the board is as simple as any normal Serial communication ex: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    void setup()&#xD;&#xA;    {&#xD;&#xA;      Serial.begin(115200);&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    int inByte = 0;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    void loop()&#xD;&#xA;    {&#xD;&#xA;      if (Serial.available() &gt; 0) &#xD;&#xA;      {&#xD;&#xA;        inByte = Serial.read();&#xD;&#xA;        &#xD;&#xA;        if(inByte == '1'){&#xD;&#xA;           Serial.println(&quot;test1&quot;);&#xD;&#xA;        } else {&#xD;&#xA;           Serial.println(&quot;test2&quot;);&#xD;&#xA;        }&#xD;&#xA;      }&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;This code reads the incoming bytes and write 'test1' or 'test2' in return. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Hardware*: this is the coolest part because you get to do what ever you want.  I [personal use][5] a lot of Lego Technics and sometime modified them to interface with foreign parts.  Search the web and you'll find cool Lego-compatible stuff like this [servo joint][6], this [servo bracket][7] or this [wheel][8].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/wireless/bluetooth.html&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/BluetoothChat/index.html&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10269&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/1318/arduinouno11.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://phillipecantin.blogspot.com/2011/01/arduino-lego.html&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://www.robotstorehk.com/lego/images/servocage.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: http://www.robokits.co.nz/KHT001&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: http://www.robotshop.com/ca/productinfo.aspx?pc=RB-Nex-24&amp;lang=en-US" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The [inline-4 on that page][6] runs at max speed with a 4bar (58psi) intake (like most other LPE I saw). It means that we can expect slightly higher pressure requirements if the engine is delivering power to a system.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;N2 tanks are simply filed with air which is cheap (when you have a compressor ;) With the example of a 45/4500psi tank how long could the car run?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also comes the question of the weight, with a carbon fiber tank weighting over 0.8kg is it really a good idea?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Would CO2 be a viable solution? With a maximum of 6bar should I expect condensation in the pistons? Would it really be a problem to consider? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Simply put do you know if this would work.

Perhaps you could warm up the co2 coming out of the cartridge a bit, to prevent condensation. The **real danger** in my opinion **is the low temperatures** that the expanding co2 gas creates. **Those are not good for the rubber seals**. So if you'd manage to heat up the gas using a coil wire wrapped around the intake tube, connected to some batteries, you could prevent that from happening.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I guess I should probably forget about the CO2 and invest in some HPA gear.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSFv5NjxIJE&amp;feature=related&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4K-e6JA1Ohs&amp;feature=related&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0ny9rLNDOk&amp;feature=related&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/3tnHi.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9jJGGdn6Ss&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://www.autoevolution.com/news/lego-pneumatic-engines-are-availabel-for-sale-2577.html&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: http://www.lpepower.com/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Markets like eBay, BrickLink and other sources have been considered for this evaluation - on a global level.&quot;[copied from my feedback to the 2008 edition review]) has not been extended, highlighted or moved to a place where it will be less ignored. Additionally, this rating will always give room for discussion, especially as it would require continuous updates.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So you can see both reviews consider this rating system to be pretty much useless (and the reviews of first editions weren't better) and it doesn't indeed compare to actual figures. However, the fact that they weren't able to secure any is probably a fairly good indication that these figures are not available to the general public. (And knowing LEGO, there's a chance that they haven't kept figures themselves from the distant past anyway.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So while this is far from an actual answer to your question, the rarity rating of the Collector's Guide is probably the closest you'll ever get.

Text="Heroica is a series of sets based around common dungeon crawl motifs - the games have the players attempting to battle their way across a board defeating various monsters along the way and collecting power-ups and other treasures.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As sold, the games are designed for around 1-4 players; some sets have less &quot;player&quot; pieces, however alternative rules suggest one player could play all the monsters.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The game is based around the &quot;Microfig&quot; scale characters.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Heroes&#xD;&#xA;=&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Each hero has a different special melee or ranged skill that can be used during their moves or when in combat when the die lands showing the Heroica Shield.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Each set comes with a number of heroes including:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- **Barbarian**&lt;br /&gt;*Melee:* Defeat ALL adjacent monsters and move 1 space.&#xD;&#xA;- **Wizard**&lt;br /&gt;*Ranged:* Defeat a monster up to 4 spaces away, even around corners.&#xD;&#xA;- **Ninja**&lt;br /&gt;*Melee:* Defeat the monster and take 1 gold from the store.&#xD;&#xA;- **Knight**&lt;br /&gt;*Ranged:* Move up to 2 spaces and defeat an adjacent monster (charge).&#xD;&#xA;- **Druid**&lt;br /&gt;*Ranged:* Restore full health.&#xD;&#xA;- **Ranger**&lt;br /&gt;*Ranged:* Move 1 space and defeat a monster up to 5 spaces away in a straight line (bow shot).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Monsters&#xD;&#xA;=&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The monsters have different strengths ranging from 1 to 3.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Each set comes with a themed set of monsters including:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Goblins&#xD;&#xA;  - King - 3 Strength&#xD;&#xA;  - General - 3 Strength&#xD;&#xA;  - Guardian - 2 Strength&#xD;&#xA;  - Warrior - 1 Strength&#xD;&#xA;- Dark Druids - 3 Strength&#xD;&#xA;- Werewolves - 2 Strength&#xD;&#xA;- Golems&#xD;&#xA; - Lord - 3 Strength&#xD;&#xA; - Guardian - 2 Strength&#xD;&#xA;- Spiders - 1 Strength&#xD;&#xA;- Bats - 1 Strength&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Movement&#xD;&#xA;=&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the basic games, the monsters are static, and the heroes are moved by the player's dice rolls. The die has four different plates on it:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- One side showing 1&#xD;&#xA;- Two sides showing 2&#xD;&#xA;- Two sides showing 3&#xD;&#xA;- One side showing the Heroica Shield - the hero may move 4 spaces OR use their ranged skill&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the player ends her movement in a space occupied by another hero, she should move the hero forward to the first available space.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The player should collect any items in spaces the hero has moved through, and they should be stored in their hero pack.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the player moves into a space next to a monster, she MUST end her move and fight the monster.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Combat&#xD;&#xA;=&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When a hero moves into a space next to a monster, the outcome is decided by a single dice roll:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- **Heroica Shield**&lt;br /&gt;Defeat the monster or use your hero's melee skill.&#xD;&#xA;- **Sword**&lt;br /&gt;Defeat the monster.&#xD;&#xA;- **Skull**&lt;br /&gt;Lose health equal to the monster's strength AND move back 1 space away from the monster.&#xD;&#xA;- **Sword &amp; Skull**&lt;br /&gt;Defeat the monster AND lose health equal to the monster's strength AND move back 1 space away from the monster.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the player moves into a space next to two or more monsters, he chooses which one to fight first, and if he wins, the player immediately fights the next monster.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Each hero starts with 4 points of health. If they lose all their health, they are temporarily defeated and must spend one or more turns healing. Healing is done by rolling the die and restoring health up to the number rolled. The player must continue rolling until he has restored full health, he can then roll and move as normal on his next turn. This healing technique can only be used when the hero has lost all it's health.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Items and Weapons&#xD;&#xA;=&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;During the game, players can find items such as potions (Life (restore 2 health), Luck (re-roll the die), Speed (move up to 4 extra spaces) and Strength (defeat an adjacent monster)), treasure chests (which can contain traps), gold and keys.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Keys are used to open locked doors (and MUST be left in the door once it's unlocked). A hero can only carry ONE key at a time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Gold can be used to purchase additional weapons which give the players hero additional ranged or melee skills.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Each weapon costs 3 gold to purchase, and can be sold back to the store for 2 gold.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- **Axe**&lt;br /&gt;*Melee:* Defeat ALL adjacent monsters&#xD;&#xA;- **Wand**&lt;br /&gt;*Ranged:* Defeat a monster up to 3 spaces away, even around corners&#xD;&#xA;- **Staff**&lt;br /&gt;*Ranged:* Restore up to 2 health&#xD;&#xA;- **Bow**&lt;br /&gt;*Ranged:* Defeat a monster up to 5 spaces away in a straight line&#xD;&#xA;- **Dagger**&lt;br /&gt;*Melee:* Defeat the monster and take one gold from the store&#xD;&#xA;- **Sword**&lt;br /&gt;*Ranged:* Move 1 space and defeat an adjacent monster" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

However, I distinctly remember that some sets had units that gave a slight advantage over other sets, at least for my style of playing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For instance, the Aqua Pod has several units that can deconstruct and eat, but could not move very far.  (Deconstruct reduces your opponent's unit by 1 level.  Eat deconstructs an opponent's level 1 unit and raises your unit up 1 level.)  While the Aero Pod has several that can move far and deconstruct, but do not have the special ability to eat.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Hammerhead][1]  ![Jet Raider][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In several games between these two Pods, I was able to win by moving next to my opponent's unit, battling till he was down to level 1, and then just eating him, thus raising the level of my unit back up by 1.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It may be that certain combinations of sets are more equally matched than others, or it could be that I was just better than my opponent :)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;Edit:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(For a copy of the rules, starter kits, boards, and strategy guide see [this question][3].)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Advanced Rules and the Advanced Strategy Guide give a few pointers that can help your game.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For building a board, the Advanced Rules suggest:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; You should probably have at least 5 obstacles and no more than 9 for a balanced game.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for strategies, they vary based on the abilities of the Pod you have chosen, and your opponent.  (For complete strategies for each Pod against all other Pods, see the Advanced Strategy Guide)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Aero Pod&#xD;&#xA;--------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **Using Obstacles to Your Advantage**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The chief advantage of the Aero Pod is that most of its units can fly or jump. This means that yellow units are much less restrained by obstacles than units of any other Pod.  On an arena filled with obstacles, Aero Pod units are, at their best, able to avoid getting boxed in and to score quickly. On less blocked arena, the Aero Pod has less of an advantage, but its jumpers and fliers can move over enemies, while its raiders can move through them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Aqua Pod&#xD;&#xA;--------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **Undersea Dining**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Similar to the Wild Pod, the Aqua Pod has a well-balanced set up units and a few different strategies from which to choose.  Pay attention to what team you’re up against to determine your strategy. Fast opponents require deconstructing units that have block them at choke point; slow opponents should be outrun with quick moving and jumping units. And don’t forget about your eat ability. Eating gives you an edge in deconstruction stand-oﬀs, so be sure to have some level-one units of your own on the board to rebuild and preserve your powerhouses.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Arachno Pod&#xD;&#xA;-----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **Getting the Opponent in your Web**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Arachno units are pretty quick, so you’ll probably want to play an aggressive game where you try to score early and often. The web ability is a great aid to this strategy. Since web has a range of two, you’re able to maneuver your units easily to freeze opponents before they get near you. Use web to incapacitate oncoming units and either zip your faster units by to score, or moving into your deconstructing units to ﬁnish the job. Arachno works particularly well on open boards, where you can web opponents without blocking oﬀ your paths to the opponent’s row.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Auto Pod&#xD;&#xA;--------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **Quick Scoring**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Auto Pod has the fastest units in the game. It has very few jumpers or ﬂiers, but it makes up for that lack in raw speed. What this means is that an Auto Pod player has a good chance of getting control of the board and scoring points earlier in the game.  This strategy works best on open boards with few obstacles to block your units' movement. On more crowded boards, Auto Pod players have to rely on their pushing, carrying, and limited deconstruction abilities to break the opponent's line and create a path on which to score.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Dragon Pod&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **Winning with Super-units**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The center of a Dragon Pod team is its dragon unit. These four level units are easily the most powerful in the game, so using them eﬀectively is the key to victory. First, the number of units you can use with any individual dragon is limited, so picking a dragon will basically determine your strategy for that board. Your secondary units are fairly weak, so use the dragon aggressively and don’t be afraid to lose a level if it means taking out a key opponent. Still, be sure to have a couple good back-up cards and maybe even some Build and Place X-tras in case the dragon goes down.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Monster Pod&#xD;&#xA;-----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **Scaring Your Opponent Stiff**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Monster Pod is a slow, steadily moving team with a powerful special ability: scare. What makes scare so powerful is that scaring happens automatically at the end of a turn. This means that every scaring unit freezes all adjacent opponent units every turn, even if you didn’t activate it. As a result, scaring units are terrific to leave near important intersections on the board to stop enemy movement. On the other hand, combining a scare unit with a carrying unit will give you an engine you can march across the board, and deconstructing frozen units is an easy way to clear the board.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Robo Pod&#xD;&#xA;--------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **Keeps Going and Going...**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Robo Pod units have the most deconstructing units of any Pod so a lot of Robo Pod strategies are about taking apart your opponent's pieces. Use this advantage to guard your home row and hunt down enemy units to keep them from scoring.  Robo Pod units also have an additional advantage that aids them in deconstruction - almost every Robo Pod unit continues to function at its lowest level. This means that your units have to be removed from the board to stop them from moving. Robo Pod works best on boards where there are choke points that its units can guard, and from which it can slowly march its units to victory.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Wild Pod&#xD;&#xA;--------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **Eating and the Value of Food**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The Wild Pod has the most diversity of all of the Pods, which means that you have a few strategies to choose from. You'll want to tailor your units carefully for the Pod you're facing. The advantage that you have is that your units can eat. This means that any Wild Pod unit on the board can potentially reconstruct itself and that you have a unique edge in deconstructing others. Be sure to make use of the level one &quot;food&quot; units that the Wild Pod has. More powerful units can be accompanied by a couple of level one units that can restore its levels and make it safe from deconstruction.  Using eat well can decimate your opponent's units and allow you to keep your super units for the duration of the game.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Summary&#xD;&#xA;-------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The important thing is to know both your and your opponents strengths and weaknesses, but even the best strategy can be overcome by someone with no strategy.  You must be prepared for anything and have a full knowledge of your own capabilities and how to use them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/iEjyk.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/58vyF.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://bricks.stackexchange.com/q/641/14" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The idea behind this is to use fever motors to do more.&#xD;&#xA;The advantage is the reduced weight and the disadvantage is the increased complexity and lower flexibility.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For example, you can control both tracks with one motor. However instead of one motor making the threads more forwards and backwards, you remove the 'backwards' function and replace it with 'right-turn'. So when the motor drives forward, the bot moves forward, when the motor drives backwards, it turns right. You can't drive backwards or turn left however. A simple (but poor) implementation can be found in the [R.I.S. 2.0 instructions][1].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While this is restrictive, you can do other similar tasks without loosing *important* functionality. Another old trick is the 'grab and lift' mechanism which both grabs and lifts an object in one movement. When you lower it again and it reaches the bottom, the grabber opens up. While you can't open the grabber while it is lifted, it normally isn't important.&#xD;&#xA;See [The snatcher by Laurens][2] as an example, which keeps two motors for the threads, but uses this technique to only use one motor for the arm.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another prime example is with pneumatics, using a single motor to both pump and control a switch. See [DiMastero's differential solution][3]. It will pump no matter which direction the motor is turning, however turning it one way will push the switch in one direction, and the other when turning it the other way.&#xD;&#xA;(It will pump while the switch is switched from one position to another, but again, this is a minor drawback considering the gains.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While the previous examples are solutions to specific problems, they highlight the ideas:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Do different tasks under different situations. (Drive on clockwise, turn on counter-clockwise.)&#xD;&#xA;- Chain several tasks together. (First grip, then lift.)&#xD;&#xA;- Do several things at once. (Pump, while controlling the switch.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first point on the list, doing different tasks under different situations, is the most easy one to make a general implementation. You can split up the clockwise and counter-clockwise direction of the motors, to control two different tasks. While a bit restrictive, it is useful it certain situations.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A less restrictive solution is the 2 to n multiplexer. One motor gives the power, while another motor controls which task to transfer the power to. ('n' can be quite large, however something like 3 or 4 is more realistic in moc's.) I have come up with a few other versions, including some which allows controlling multiple motors at once (limited to same direction and speed).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Example to your specific problem**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Use a 2 to 3 multiplexer. Output 1 and 2 controls the rotation and arm respectively. The threads are done using an adder/subtracter mechanism, use the last free motor to drive it and output 3 from the multiplexer to steer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would position the multiplexer above the turntable so that you just need to transfer the adder/subtracter axle through it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.peeron.com/scans/3804-1/102/?id=2547&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0yiw8gzc1Q&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://dimastero.wordpress.com/2011/06/03/bionic-nxtpod-3-0-the-gripper/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Text="There are two non-wireless ways that I know of.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One of them, (which is better most likely) is to use  [this][1], it's called the Mindsensors Motor Multiplexer (Motor MUX for short) it allows the use of all motor functions and splits one port into several.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that each multiplexer requires an additional battery box, making the over all robot less compact, heavier, and consumes more battery power.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Each multiplexer costs $55.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And the other way I know of, is a lot cheaper, and does not require an additional battery box. The technique I'm talking about is using [converter cables][2].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A set of three converter cables costs $10. To split a motor port via converter cables, do [this][3]&#xD;&#xA;Now using the converter cable technique does have it's limitations. If you use it, then both motors will to turn at the same time, and with the same amount of power. And they will have to either always turn in opposite directions, or always the same direction. Furthermore, this method will negate access to the motors rotation sensors, and will result in indefinite run if you set it to rotations or degrees, so you'll have to set it to time if you do this. But it is a nice and cheap alternative if you want to save money.&#xD;&#xA;The Mindsensors motor MUX has none of these limitations, but I suggest only using the latter if your robot's abilies canot tolerate the constraints of the converter cable method. For a demonstration of a robot using the Mindsensors motor MUX, see [this video][4].

That's why you can find [sets with two different numbers](http://bricks.stackexchange.com/q/300/99), or [two different sets with the same number](http://bricks.stackexchange.com/q/302/99).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now the keyword here is &quot;seem&quot;, as I suppose there was some logic to it even in the past.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But nowadays there is some logic, and even if not all of it is understandable, you can at least spot some key elements, such as:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* When I was a kid and they started the 4 digits scheme, the first digit indicated the global theme pretty clearly. 8 was Technic, 6 was LEGOLAND, 77 were trains, and so on. At least for trains, they tended to use round numbers for bigger sets, ending in [0](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=7740-1) or [5](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=7735-1).&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;* Now, the first digit seems to have lost its significance, and sets in the same theme are  usually attributed a [range of numbers](http://www.brickset.com/browse/themes/?theme=Dino%202010), with the small set getting the lowest number. It's not an absolute rule, and I guess it depends on availibility or other factors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Sets in the 10000 range are LEGO shop exclusives. Usually, you will usually only find them on Shop@Home or in LEGO retail outlets, but not in regular toy stores.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Sets in the 20000 range were used for the [BrickMaster](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?set=20008-1) serie, with each set accompanying a BrickMaster issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Sets in the 20200 range will seemingly be used by the &quot;[LEGO Master Builder Academy](http://shop.lego.com/en-US/LEGO-Master-Builder-Academy-Kit-1-Space-Designer-20200)&quot; sets&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Sets in the 21000 rang are [architecture](http://www.brickset.com/browse/themes/?year=2011&amp;theme=Architecture) sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Sets in the 30000 range are usually [small promotionnal polybags](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?set=30014-1)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In addition, there are 7-digits numbers floating around which are probably some other form of internal numbers. For specific [things](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?set=4269244-1) without a set number, that's usually the only thing you'll find.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For parts, you have to distinguish design ID, identifying a specific mould regardless of the color; and element ID, which identifies a unique design/color combination.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't know how design IDs were or are attributed, but it seems there is now some sequential logic behind it. Not that changes in design which don't affect the functionality (hollow bars at the bottom of 1x bricks, for example) don't usually lead to a new design number (while peeron will append a &quot;a&quot;, &quot;b&quot;,... to indicate the version, LEGO doesn't do that internally).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Element IDs used to be a juxtaposition of design ID and color ID, so a Black ([26](http://www.peeron.com/cgi-bin/invcgis/colorguide.cgi)) 2x4 brick ([3001](http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3001)) would be simply 300126. These numbers are still around for parts which existed when that scheme was used. [300126](http://us.service.lego.com/en-GB/replacementparts/showBrick.aspx?item=300126&amp;lod=5&amp;size=2) is still the element ID of a black 2x4 brick.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, at some point (not sure when), they changed this to use a [7-digit number](http://us.service.lego.com/en-GB/replacementparts/showBrick.aspx?item=4107445&amp;lod=5&amp;size=2) for the element ID, which doesn't ahve a relation to the design ID or color any longer. These seem to be sequentially attributed, and it could be that they share the same sequence as internal set numbers (but that's just a guess, really). There are also numbers for individual instruction booklets, which [ROSCO](http://www.br-eng.info/words/index.php/search-lego-instructions/) used to scan for directly on the LEGO site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for where to find these, that's more difficult. You'll notice I link a lot to [BrickSet](http://www.brickset.com/), that's because I feel they do a fantastic job of cataloguing sets. [Peeron](http://www.peeron.com/) has a good database too, but it's usually slower. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For parts, you'll need to go to Peeron, or [BrickLink](http://www.bricklink.com/), but they sometimes differ in their numbering when the official number of a part isn't known. Note that they usually use design IDs and not element IDs, although there is some work in progress [regarding that](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3001&amp;ccName=300126).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, while internal LEGO aren't exactly public, you can find design IDs embossed in elements, and element IDs in the back of all instruction leaflets. Also, the online pick-a-brick and the custoemr service &quot;[replacement part](http://us.service.lego.com/en-GB/replacementparts/default.aspx)&quot; function let you browse recent sets and see what the design and element IDs are for given elements."

NXT's 256 KB of flash memory can hold a usually unnoticeable maximum of 64 files of varying types.&#xD;&#xA; - RCX retains its memory (including firmware) for a very limited time when not powered, just enough to change batteries.

One advantage is that you can have a mix of programs on the same NXT brick and it doesn't matter with what they've been originally written.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you're interested to know more about the standard firmware and how to program it, you can download the [Mindstorms Software Developer Kit](http://mindstorms.lego.com/en-us/support/files/default.aspx). One of the interesting aspects of it is that you don't always need to create programs but you can send direct commands to the NXT as well - meaning you actual programming logic can sit on another connected device (PC, smartphone,...).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Others alternate languages use a different firwmare altogether, which means you can't mix languages at all. But if it uses a language you're more familiar with, it may be worth trying. (You can always revert to the standard firmware anyway.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The idea behind this is to use fever motors to do more.&#xD;&#xA;The advantage is the reduced weight and the disadvantage is the increased complexity and lower flexibility.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For example, you can control both tracks with one motor. However instead of one motor making the threads more forwards and backwards, you remove the 'backwards' function and replace it with 'right-turn'. So when the motor drives forward, the bot moves forward, when the motor drives backwards, it turns right. You can't drive backwards or turn left however. A simple (but poor) implementation can be found in the [R.I.S. 2.0 instructions][1].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While this is restrictive, you can do other similar tasks without loosing *important* functionality. Another old trick is the 'grab and lift' mechanism which both grabs and lifts an object in one movement. When you lower it again and it reaches the bottom, the grabber opens up. While you can't open the grabber while it is lifted, it normally isn't important.&#xD;&#xA;See [The snatcher by Laurens][2] as an example, which keeps two motors for the threads, but uses this technique to only use one motor for the arm.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another prime example is with pneumatics, using a single motor to both pump and control a switch. See [DiMastero's differential solution][3]. It will pump no matter which direction the motor is turning, however turning it one way will push the switch in one direction, and the other when turning it the other way.&#xD;&#xA;(It will pump while the switch is switched from one position to another, but again, this is a minor drawback considering the gains.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While the previous examples are solutions to specific problems, they highlight the ideas:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Do different tasks under different situations. (Drive on clockwise, turn on counter-clockwise.)&#xD;&#xA;- Chain several tasks together. (First grip, then lift.)&#xD;&#xA;- Do several things at once. (Pump, while controlling the switch.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first point on the list, doing different tasks under different situations, is the most easy one to make a general implementation. You can split up the clockwise and counter-clockwise direction of the motors, to control two different tasks. While a bit restrictive, it is useful it certain situations.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A less restrictive solution is the 2 to n multiplexer. One motor gives the power, while another motor controls which task to transfer the power to. ('n' can be quite large, however something like 3 or 4 is more realistic in moc's.) I have come up with a few other versions, including some which allows controlling multiple motors at once (limited to same direction and speed).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Example to your specific problem**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Use a 2 to 3 multiplexer. Output 1 and 2 controls the rotation and arm respectively. The threads are done using an adder/subtracter mechanism, use the last free motor to drive it and output 3 from the multiplexer to steer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would position the multiplexer above the turntable so that you just need to transfer the adder/subtracter axle through it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some more examples as requested.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here is a more advanced version of driving and turning with tracks using one motor:&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][4]&#xD;&#xA;When the motor is turning counter-clockwise the mechanism will work like normal, driving both tracks forward. However when it turns clockwise, the yellow knob gear prevents one of the axles from moving, causing the last differential to stop and this causes both tracks to move in the opposite direction of each other, making it turn on the spot.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The knob gear is the crucial part, as it prevents action *depending* on the rotation direction. Here is a more generic version:&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][5]&#xD;&#xA;Depending on the direction of the input, only one axle will turn.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Moving on to the actual multiplexers, here is a mock-up of a 2 to n multiplexer:&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][6]&#xD;&#xA;Notice that the black gear can slide on the two axles, so that it can connect to both the light-gray and the dark-gray gear, depending on the position. You could have as many gears/outputs as you want in theory.&#xD;&#xA;I used this to create a pneumatic control station, which had 4 outputs, each controlling one pneumatic switch.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here is a 3 to 4 multiplexer which uses transmission parts:&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][7]&#xD;&#xA;The dark-gray axle is the input, and the 4 light-gray axles are the output. Depending on the position of the red sliders, a different output is chosen. The interesting aspect of this one is that you can have two outputs active at one time, which is not possible with the 2 to n multiplexer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As a final note I would like to point out that I have used all of these methods in actual RCX/NXT projects in order to do more than what I could otherwise have done with just 3 motors. They are not just theoretical solutions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I do not see the maximum of 3 motors as a disadvantage, but as a limitation which challenges me to find other solutions to the problem so it can be done with just 3 motors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.peeron.com/scans/3804-1/102/?id=2547&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0yiw8gzc1Q&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://dimastero.wordpress.com/2011/06/03/bionic-nxtpod-3-0-the-gripper/&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/PzFtU.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ySowI.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/avR5K.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/WKNz1.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I don't have time to build to whole thing but this resolves the main problem and proves the feasibility. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The main problem was to reproduce the pins system with LEGO bricks since each pins needs to have different lengths.   Early in this project, I wanted to have a 'analog' approach of setting the pins length so to not be constrained by only stacking plates.  For that I used axle perpendicular-joiner (6536) on an axle to build the driver pins (top pins):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The key pins (lower pins) are caped with angles connectors (32013) creating the needed round tips on which the key can push.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In a standard pin tumbler lock system, if the right key is not pushing on the pins, both the driver pins and the key pins can prevent the rotation motion.  If the key tooth is too low, the driver pins is blocking and, if the key tooth is too high, the key pin is blocking.  In my system the driver pins are doing both functions. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the prototype the red rounded beam and the driver pins would be fixed while the rest would rotating with the key.  In the following picture you can see the lock without the key.  In that state all the driver pins go through the black Technic beam (under the red rounded beam). This would prevent the key from turning.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the following picture the key is now inserted and all the driver pins are now flushed.  In this position ther driver keys are not engaged into the beams that are part of the rotating module.  This enables the key to turn.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the wrong key is used or the key is not inserted correctly, the pins would be either too low or too high engaging into the beams that are part of the rotating module and thus preventing rotation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Movie time!** Here's a [video][6] demonstrating the mechanism.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The biggest downsides of this system are the size and the fact that the driver pins are not pushed down by spring but by gravity.

The description of these blocks is as follows:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **Description**  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; The Legacy Block library adds support for RCX actions and sensors to the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Software. There is a new block for the RCX motor, lamp, touch sensor, light sensor, rotation sensor and temperature sensor.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On a related note, if you want to use Power Functions motors and lights, you can do so by using the two converter cables (NXT-9V + 9V-PF). There is currently no NXT-PF conversion cable, but you could make one as easily as you would make a NXT-9V cable. There is also a [third-party infrared link &quot;sensor&quot;](http://www.hitechnic.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&amp;key=NIL1046) which allows an NXT brick to control PF elements via the normal infrared receiver."

Take your giant pile of Lego bricks and try to split it up into 5-10 categories.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Those categories could be color, size, or any other features, it doesn't really matter. (I'm a Technic builder, so I would sort them into axles, pins, pin-connectors, beams and gears for example.) To get the best results these categories should be as close to equal in size.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Presorting might seem to be a bit of work, however next time you need a brick it will be several times faster (roughly equal to the amount of categories) to find it since you only have to look through a subset of bricks. One you have done the presort, you don't need to do it again (until you trow them back into your box) so it makes most sense to do this during a building session where you might need to look after another brick in the near future.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Remember that your piles could contain sub-categories, if you had sorted after color you could use size to skim through the pile in order to find that brick. You could also split those up into even more sub-piles if you wanted. The more you sort, the less time you need to search after bricks, however you will spend more time during your presort. Try to experiment and find a balance between sorting and searching that you like.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In order to not presort more than necessary, do the presorting while you are looking after a brick. Like Pubby suggested, take a small area and look through that. However instead of simply trowing them into a separate pile if you don't find it, sort them into your category piles. Continue this process until you find the brick you were looking for.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Next time you need a brick, look through the incomplete sub-piles first to see if it is there.

I did create one for this beforehand, but it's on the same HDD.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As jfyelle [said](http://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/736) the solution consists of using one LEGO element which has an odd ldu dimension somewhere. There is such an element, which isn't even new or particularly rare, that is, the [Fence 1 x 4 x 2](http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3185):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Fence 1 x 4 x 2](http://media.peeron.com/ldraw/images/7/3185.png)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The centre part has a thickness of 6 ldu, which means that there are 7 ldu on each side. So if you add a 2x4 plate in it, the thickness of the plate (8 ldu) means that it will stick out by exactly one ldu. If your fence is one red brick, just put a 1x4 brick and a 1x4 brick with for knobs on the other to connect to the plate. Your two red bricks should then be 1 ldu apart.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I did learn that trick from Didier Enjary in his excellent [Advanced Building&#xD;&#xA;Techniques Guide](http://news.lugnet.com/announce/?n=3429) which is well worth reading. That document contains a whole chapter on offsetting, but curiously the 1 ldu offset isn't listed explicitly; rather, the fence element and its 7 ldu offset is mentioned casually in the SNOT section.

Higher temperatures may affect the quality of the LEGO parts. You can add a mild detergent to the water, followed by rinsing with clear water. Please don't put your bricks in the washing machine or dishwasher or attempt to dry them in ovens, microwaves or with hair dryers. Any electrical parts, such as cables, motors, battery compartments, can only be wiped off with alcohol. Air-dry parts at room temperature. For disinfecting please use mild bleach.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So the best way to wash all your bricks at once, is to put them into a big bowl, a sink or your bathtub. Add _warm_ water (&lt; 40°C), soap/mild detergent and wash them by hand. Spread the bricks on a towel and let them air dry.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This should be enough to remove dust and loose dirt.

There is no point looking for a component that isn't there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Get someone to help you. Sometimes other people can spot what you've missed. Small people often have sharper eyes than big people. My 7 year old son can spot things *far* more qickly than me.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - If you're looking for a small piece, it is almost certainly at the bottom of a collection of larger bricks. So, for small components, dig deep. This should also work when you've spread the components out, but is especially useful if you're searching through a big box. In fact, if you gently shake a box of parts to encourage the big ones to rise and then *rapidly* invert the box onto your play area, you'll probably find that you get a nice layer of small bits on the top of the heap.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Store parts in a big plastic container rather than a cardboard box. Otherwise you'll eventually find the part you're looking for under the flaps at the bottom of the box.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - As others have said, you can't really avoid some kind of sorting, even if it is primitve on-the-fly sorting. For this reason, some of thie ideas in [this][1] answer could help, even if you implement them as you're looking for parts rather than when you store your lego.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Pull out the big base boards and any instructions etc. that get in the way of your looking for parts. It is also worth pulling out any cables or string as they can be annoying to look through, too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - When you see pairs of parts that belong together, stick them together. For example, wheels and tires, windows and glass, aircraft wings etc. That way, when you've found one you've found the other.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Similarly, when you take things apart, leave 'interesting' assemblies partially built. It is sometimes easier to find what you're looking for when it is stuck to something else. For example, leave minifigs assembled, even if you anticipate needing their parts in a different configuration in the future.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - When you're looking, look for several parts at a time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - If you find an interesting part, pull it out and keep it separate, even if it isn't what you want at the moment. Chances are, there parts will stimulate your imagination and you'll want them anyway.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Start building a proper system for organising your parts. For example, my son keeps his minifigs and their gear separate from everything else.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Sometimes you can't help but look through every part in the heap. If you end up doing that, divide the heap into smaller, more managable sections and paw through them one at a time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/550/has-anyone-automated-the-lego-hand-sorting-process-beyond-pawing-piling" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Here are two things you could do: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Force it back into shape and put small amount of Krazy Glue in the cracked areas. Hopefully this will fill the gaps and give some strength back to the gear.   &#xD;&#xA; 2. You could sacrifice an axle and glue (Krazy Glue) it permanently.  This would strengthen the gear a lot but condemn it to only be used with that axle.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have a bunch of those small gears, I wish I could just give you one.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

LEGO realizes that AFOLs are the ones that make&#xD;&#xA;&gt; communities aware of LEGO in a wide range of venues that LEGO does not&#xD;&#xA;&gt; have the time or resources to reach. Therefore, supplying these AFOLs&#xD;&#xA;&gt; with an affordable supply of bulk pieces seems like a really good&#xD;&#xA;&gt; idea.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; The logistics of this project are a nightmare though if you think&#xD;&#xA;&gt; about it. There is no way to offer this discount to every AFOL who&#xD;&#xA;&gt; wants cheap LEGO bricks. Therefore, the first organization level is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; that AFOLs must be part of a LEGO User Group (LUG). This LUG must then&#xD;&#xA;&gt; register every year if they want to participate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I recommend visiting the [original article][2] for more infomation.

There are limits, but I don't know for sure which ones (I think max 80 different elements per order), so the club must find a way to make sure all its members get something they want.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The way my club chose to do it is to select some elements which are likely to please a lot of people (basic dark red bricks, for example), then they buy them with their own account and resell them to members.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The prices are somewhat cheaper than if you would call LEGO yourself (which works in certain countries, by the way) or if you used the online pick-a-brick, but I can't say by how much. And since the club as a whole is involved, it's sometimes frustrating for individuals.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As how to get involved, you will need to be a known club, in which case you're likely to already have contacts with LEGO, so use these to ask how the lugbulk works.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you're a new club which is yet unknown from LEGO, by all means, try to make yourself known, this can bring many advantages other than the lugbulk."

The Creator theme used to mark sets aged X to 99. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think the LEGO marketing team were going along with the idea that you're never too old to play with Lego.

I don't have time to build to whole thing but this resolves the main problem and proves the feasibility. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The main problem was to reproduce the pins system with LEGO bricks since each pins needs to have different lengths.   Early in this project, I wanted to have a 'analog' approach of setting the pins length so to not be constrained by only stacking plates.  For that I used axle perpendicular-joiner (6536) on an axle to build the driver pins (top pins):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The key pins (lower pins) are caped with angles connectors (32013) creating the needed round tips on which the key can push.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In a standard pin tumbler lock system, if the right key is not pushing on the pins, both the driver pins and the key pins can prevent the rotation motion.  If the key tooth is too low, the driver pins is blocking and, if the key tooth is too high, the key pin is blocking.  In my system the driver pins are doing both functions. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the prototype the red rounded beam and the driver pins would be fixed while the rest would rotating with the key.  In the following picture you can see the lock without the key.  In that state all the driver pins go through the black Technic beam (under the red rounded beam). This would prevent the key from turning.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the following picture the key is now inserted and all the driver pins are now flushed.  In this position ther driver keys are not engaged into the beams that are part of the rotating module.  This enables the key to turn.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the wrong key is used or the key is not inserted correctly, the pins would be either too low or too high engaging into the beams that are part of the rotating module and thus preventing rotation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Movie time!** Here's a [video][7] demonstrating the mechanism.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The biggest downsides of this system are the size and the fact that the driver pins are not pushed down by spring but by gravity.  Both of those troubles are put to shame by the total awesomeness of having a functioning pin tumble lock made of LEGO bricks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/KAVwK.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/TT3WL.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/3upuA.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/sXH54.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Qbm7I.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/3pNUo.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: http://youtu.be/-lEQQbiLYxk" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

You should get the normal NXT kit, as this includes the software, the electronics and some sample Mindstorms models.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Anyway, there are two aspects to Mindstorms, building and programming.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Building:** If you have experience with Lego Technic, building should be familiar to you. However as this is often not the case with young people, you will want to get some experience building with Lego Technics by using building instructions. There are the sample models included in the kit, but you might also want to buy some Technic sets to get some further experience (and more pieces to build with).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Programming:** The programming can be a bit more tricky. First you should make the example programs included with the software. If I remember correctly, it will let you make a program step by step. The important part is to pay attention to what you are doing and why you are doing it during this process! Do not just make the program and run it, use some time to understand how the program is working. Try to make modifications to it and see what happens! Give yourself challenges and try to solve them, &quot;can I make it do this instead?&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;Once you have made the models in the kits and experimented a bit with them, you can find even more Mindstorms models online. One example is [nxtprograms.com][1]. There are also books which you can read, for example [The LEGO®MINDSTORMS® NXT 2.0 Discovery Book][2]. The important part with the programming, especially when downloading programs from the web is to really take some time with trying to understand them. I will point it out again, do not just run them, as this will learn you nothing!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The best way of learning however is to experiment, try to build or program something either as a modification of another model or something completely from scratch. The reason Mindstorms is fun is because you can create something yourself with it, so the steps above should be treated as steps in order to reach this stage where you don't need instructions. So it is important to mix these two approaches in the beginning, do something from instructions and try doing something yourself.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The RCX 2.0 had a section with &quot;advanced&quot; models. The primary difference between the simple and advanced models were that the simple models had building instructions where the advanced models *only had the key steps* . So you had to fill in the other steps yourself, which is a great way to learn how to build, since you are forced to think about what you are doing. Try to take some of the robots from nxtprograms.com, but remove all but the most important steps and give those to your son.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.nxtprograms.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://discovery.laurensvalk.com/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The target age of the education kit is 8+, by the way, so don't worry too much about the 10+ range of the retail kit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From LEGO education, there's also the [WeDo](http://education.lego.com/en-gb/products/wedo/9580/) kit. While not part of the Mindstorms range (it doesn't use the same hardware at all), it can also be an interesting introduction to robotics, aimed at slightly younger children. For a school, it's also a less heavy investment than Mindstorms, which can be easier to justify." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

You can also up the ante, [PLUG](http://www.plug.pt/) did for example [do this underwater](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1lDwVtjZyE).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, this does require that all parts of the set are in exactly one transparent polybag. Small racers sets (the one in plastic boxex with a round top) are usually suitable, but we've had a club event where we wanted to do that and there was no polybag (the first to open his box spilled the contents on the ground), so we had to find some other contest (I think we ended up with one-handed build or build without plan).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So my question is, which sets are known to have all parts in one polybag? Is there any way to find out?&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Sounds obvious, but don't forget these. Nope, there are none with the Maersk train.&#xD;&#xA;- [A PF train motor](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?set=88002-1)&#xD;&#xA;- [A PF battery box](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=88000-1) (plus 6 AAA batteries)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, as oezi [says](http://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/815), it's a bit senseless to have a train which you can't control. Well, you **can** control it, but it's limited to switching it on and off (if you can catch it). Yet, it's a start.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, as far as limited control goes, don't neglect the [polarity switch](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=8869-1)! If you place it intelligently, it will be easier to stop your train. Or you could even mimic the old 4,5v system and have your train switch direction automatically at both ends of a track. Just a thought.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, for more serious control, yes, you'll need:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [PF IR receiver](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=8884-1)&#xD;&#xA; - [PF IR speed remote control](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=8879-1)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that all these elements (tracks, motor, battery box, IR receiver and remote) are also present in these trains:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [Passenger Train](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=7938-1)&#xD;&#xA; - [Cargo Train](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=7939-1)&#xD;&#xA; - [Red Cargo Train](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=3677-1) (red battery box)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So it may be worth to do the math and see if you're not better off just buying one of these. Sets are usually cheaper than standalone elements, and considering the extra parts you'll get, it may be a wiser investment. Not to mention that they may be easier to find in regular shops, which means maybe Christmas discounts and the like. And the design of these trains is quite good too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, batteries are going to be a problem, so if you don't want to sink too much money in them you'd better use rechargeable batteries as fast as possible, or yes, switch to:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [PF Rechargeable Battery](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?set=8878-1)&#xD;&#xA; - [10VDC transofmer](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=8887-1) - or [use a cheaper one](http://bricks.stackexchange.com/q/794)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you can see, it can be a costly investment in the long run, but nothing forces you to buy it all in one step, especially the rechargeable battery and charger which are far from cheap.

However, it is difficut to weigh the smallest pieces accurately. If Lego tried to get the component count spot-on there is the danger that they would miss the very rare occasions when one of these small pieces was left out of a box. It would be bad for Lego if there were pieces missing - it would both damage their reputation and lead to expensive support calls. So rather than risk that they intentionally include more of the smallest pieces. That way, if the extra one is missing, nobody minds too much. At the same time, Lego knows that a couple of extra bits will make customers happy, especially as the small pieces are prone to getting lost.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, you're right to consider the extra pieces as a little bonus."

It seems quite likely that this was a deliberate attempt to prevent people from building tanks and military vehicles which in Europe were generally painted green. The creator of LEGO was known to be a pacifist and have strong opinions on the issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I remember that when the Pirates series came out in 1989 they were the first sets to include pieces that were explicitly firearms: muskets, pistols and canon. The Pirates series was also the first to include non smiling faces, allowing figures to show more emotion, including anger. Although LEGO castle sets had featured weapons a decade earlier, the wide smiles on faces of the knights and guards suggested a lack of aggression.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Space sets have always had some ambiguity between what is a weapon and what is a scientific instrument, though the same trend is observed toward more conflict in later sets. Competition with other brick toys which feature military sets as well as movie tie-ins have caused conflict/aggression to be a major feature of many LEGO sets made more recently, which is probably what triggered LEGO's shift in official message on the subject, as detailed in the &lt;a href=&quot;http://aboutus.lego.com/en-US/corporate/default.aspx&quot;&gt;corporate responsibility report&lt;/a&gt; linked to above."

Separate the pieces in a way that makes sense to you. Tupperware has flexible sizing and they are transparent, making it easier to identify pieces from the side of the container.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You don't have to completely put each individual piece in its own bin. But, for example, you could put 1x1's of all colors in one tiny bin, all transparent pieces in another, etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The important points on choosing your bin contents is:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Make it so you know exactly which bin to reach for when you need a&#xD;&#xA;    certain piece. The bin should have a clear theme in your mind.&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA; 2. Ensure that you don't put difficult to tell apart pieces in the same&#xD;&#xA;    bin; they should be easy to differentiate even when only seeing half&#xD;&#xA;    of a part.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first rule and the second are often conflicting. One thing I recommend is to keep even-length and odd-length pieces separate. Don't put 3 and 4 longs (of the same color and type) in the same bucket, but 2 and 4 is fine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Half an hour sorting the pieces at the start can save much more than half an hour in the build, as well as making the build more pleasant and fun."

It's probably also worth noting that despite the slightly higher prices there are a couple of orders of magnitude fewer sales so older parts may take longer to sell if that is your aim.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3065&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?P=3065&amp;colorID=11&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?P=3065&amp;colorID=7&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?P=3065&amp;colorID=5&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?P=3065&amp;colorID=1&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?P=3065&amp;colorID=3&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?P=3004&amp;colorID=11&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?P=3004&amp;colorID=7&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?P=3004&amp;colorID=5&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?P=3004&amp;colorID=1&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?P=3004&amp;colorID=3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

UVB does not discolor things as quickly but still has an effect. Part of that as well is how many panes are there. Older and/or less expensive windows tend to have fewer panes while newer and/or more expensive windows tend to have more panes and thus more filtering.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - What type of glass is in the windows?&#xD;&#xA;If it's just plain clear glass then there is less protection then mirrored, tinted, or specifically UV filtering glass.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - (Possibly most importantly) What is the exposure for the windows in the room?&#xD;&#xA;If the windows in the room get a lot of direct exposure (Southern exposure in the Northern hemisphere/Nothern exposure in the Southern hemisphere) then there will just be more UV coming in and thus more discoloration over time. If the room doesn't have a lot of exposure then there will be less. Your pictures seem to indicate that you might not have a lot of direct exposure, but it's hard to tell and even partial exposure (morning or evening light) can make a difference.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Are there some predominant colors being displayed? Some colors, notably White, seem to discolor more noticeably over time. So if you've got a lot of white on display don't plan on it staying pristine for long if you've got a lot of direct exposure in that room.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That all said if you're really worried about it then run some tests to find out. Make a few small stacks of bricks in a few common colors, for example pairs of 2x4 bricks in White, Red, Bley, and Black. Try and make sure you use parts that are very similar in quality, age, and color at the outset. Then place the stacks in various locations. One on the window sill, one on your chosen display location, and one in a closed and opaque box somewhere away from heat sources. Then check on them every couple of weeks and see what results you get. If you haven't seen an appreciable difference between the stored stack and the one in your display area after a month or two you're probably fine. Comparing them against the one in the window sill might even tell you if you'd be safe closer to the window in that particular room. Adding stacks in other locations would just give you more data points to make determinations.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you do run the test, I would _love_ to see the results. Latitude would also be useful for calibrating your results with what someone else might expect to some extent. :-)" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I’ll say it again.

At that time, the figures were removable, although some felt that they were of lower quality than the figs in regular LEGO sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In early 2011, however, LEGO started to produce Star Wars magnet sets where the minifigures were glued to the magnet. The problem was that LEGO Star Wars magnet sets violated a licencing agreement which said that LEGO could produce sets that contained Star Wars characters, but that they couldn't produce stand-alone figures. Apparently, one of the other big-name toy brands who *was* licenced to produce stand-alone figures objected to the LEGO magnet products because they felt that the availability of LEGO Star Wars figures on magnets harmed their own sales figures. LEGO recognised that fans would be unhappy, but felt that it was in everyone's best interests to comply with requests to change their products.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To promote &quot;a consistent consumer experience&quot;, all new LEGO minifigure magnet sets have had the minifigures permanently fixed on the magnet since that time, including the Pharaoh’s Quest sets launched the previous December.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This means that:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1.

Text="All new magnet sets introduced by LEGO will have the figures glued, as will any re-makes of existing sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;***History***&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In 2009 LEGO started producing sets of minifigures standing on magnetic bricks. At that time, the figures were removable, although some felt that they were of lower quality than the figs in regular LEGO sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In early 2011, however, LEGO started to produce Star Wars magnet sets where the minifigures were glued to the magnet. The problem was that LEGO Star Wars magnet sets violated a licensing agreement which said that LEGO could produce sets that contained Star Wars characters, but that they couldn't produce stand-alone figures. Apparently, one of the other big-name toy brands who *was* licences to produce stand-alone figures objected to the LEGO magnet products because they felt that the availability of LEGO Star Wars figures on magnets harmed their own sales figures. LEGO recognised that fans would be unhappy, but felt that it was in everyone's best interests to comply with requests to change their products.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To promote &quot;a consistent consumer experience&quot;, all new LEGO minifigure magnet sets have had the minifigures permanently fixed on the magnet since that time, including the Pharaoh’s Quest sets launched the previous December.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This means that:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1.

For example, Mega Bloks hinges rotate around the center of mass through 100+ degrees center at the vertical, whereas LEGO hinges rotate through 90 degrees from horizontal to vertical.  Also, Mega Bloks has a SNOT piece with studs on both sides that LEGO unfortunately does not have.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you are willing to slightly modify the instructions and accept a slightly different model, then yeah, you can reproduce anything made by Mega Bloks using LEGO elements.

The gears had studs on the top and tubes on the bottom. They could be made turnable by fixing them to wheels with studs or turntables. These gears were never available in European sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Samsonite Gears][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A different type of gear, incompatible with Samsonite gears, was produced by LEGO in Europe between 1970 and 1975. Although the gears themselves are incompatible with technic gears, the axles that held them in place had the same cross-section as the axles for technic gears. This means that mechanisms can be constructed that use both types of gears.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Interestingly, the gears had a small circular spring in them to help them grip the axle. If I remember correctly, the ends of the axle had a groove that aligned with this spring, making the gears a slightly more stable fit at the ends of the axles than in the middle.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![European Gears][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Modern Technic LEGO was then introduced in 1977.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sources:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [LEGO System by Samsonite: Gears][3]&#xD;&#xA; - [001 Gears?][4]&#xD;&#xA; - [Technica - History][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/qPTUv.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/4LbGP.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.miniland.nl/Historie/legoautos/samsonite/samsonite%20gears%20eng.htm&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.bricksetforum.com/discussion/1043/001-gears/p1&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://isodomos.com/technica/history/history.php" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

NXT has a graphical 100X64 matrix display.&#xD;&#xA; - RCX is LEGO system oriented - uses studs (is has four half-pin holes only). NXT is LEGO Technic oriented - it's studless and is attached with Technic pins.&#xD;&#xA; - RCX comes with a very basic graphical programming language. The NXT kit includes one with more functionality (NOTE: Even powerful computers have trouble running big programs, and can easily mess them up).  There exist many third-party systems for both RCX and NXT (full list on [Wikipedia][1]). &#xD;&#xA; - RCX can play simple tones.

NXT's 256 KB of flash memory can hold a usually unnoticeable maximum of 64 files of varying types.&#xD;&#xA; - RCX retains its memory (including firmware) for a very limited time when not powered, just enough to change batteries.

In the meantime I had children, and now one of them is curious about it and I want to encourage that.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;The brick powers-up ok, but the RIS software won't install on my laptop (Win7 x64) and the laptop has no serial port to plug the IR tower into. To work around this I created a Windows XP virtual machine (in VMware Workstation), installed the RCS software on the VM, connected the IR tower to the laptop with an USB-to-serial [converter][1], and bridged the USB port to the VM. This kind of works, in that the RIS software can recognise the RCX brick. However, it says that the firmware is missing and needs to be downloaded. When I do this I repeatedly get a download error.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Update 1:** The RIS software displays the message &quot;Initializing and downloading firmware&quot;, the LCD on the RCX counts from 0 to 20 ten times, and then the RIS software displays the error &quot;RCX firmware failed to download&quot;. I think its trying to download *from* the PC *to* the RCS, not from the internet - if I disable the VMs network connection the it fails in exactly the same way and `netstat` isn't showing any network connection attempts inside the VM.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Has anyone here got a similar setup to work, or has any thoughts on what might be going wrong? Are there any command-line or diagnostic tools I could use to interrogate the RCX and/or upload the firmware outside of the RIS environment? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm tempted to just buy an NXT, which will be compatible with modern hardware, but I don't feel ready to give up just yet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Update 2:** I ran a USB sniffer *in the VM* to view the data being sent over the usb-to-serial connector. Lots of binary data being sent to the serial tower, and some patterns that suggest message framing in an application-level protocol, but nothing I could understand that indicates an error condition. The problem is not at the level of the usb adapter though.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://robosavvy.com/store/product_info.php/manufacturers_id/19/products_id/370" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Of course, for parts which aren't produced yet, the prices is much higher, but how higher depend on a lot of factors (whether the part exists but not in that color, whether the parts fit well in the system, and so on). Design teams may also want to bargain with other teams to have them support the cost development of a new part. Licensed themes may have a different cost structure because the licensees are sometimes willing to pay for a new part if it makes the model more realistic (most good hairdos come from licenses nowadays).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Once the designer has a model ready (it'll undergo quite a few tweaks along the way, of course), they'll hand it to another team which will be responsible for making sure the model can be built by kids, and possibly tweak it some more to make the instructions clearer (ever noticed why some hidden bricks have sometimes unexpected colors?). These guys do use computers, and they'll make the instructions as well; but in the meantime the designers are busy on their next model." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

My RCX 1.0 has a hard time getting a signal from the USB IR tower that came with the 2.0 kit.  So I am suspecting the transmission is faulty.  Unfortunately I don't have the original serial IR transmitter to test it with that one.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Although I have the RCX 2.0 I'd like to get the 1.0 going as well because it comes with a power cord.

Despite having the same name, they each have their own differences:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The LEGO retail outlets house a matrix of bins, each filled with a certain type of brick. The bricks used tend be excess bricks from LEGO's own factories and some bricks of the same kind may be included in more than one bin. Bricks are packed into small or large plastic cups, you pay for getting as many bricks as you can in one cup.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The online version of Pick-A-Brick allows you to choose between thousands of individual pieces and colours. Parts are sold by the brick, each with their own prices with an additional fee for postage, packaging and handling involved.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Then there are also the LEGOLAND stores which aren't classified as LEGO stores (despite The Lego Group having a large chunk in the theme park company). These too offer a similar Pick-A-Brick service, with [a larger range of parts][1] then the average LEGO retail store. Since the stores are located inside the park you must pay admission to the park to browse the shop.&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Unfortunately I can't seem to find stores anymore that offer this&#xD;&#xA;&gt; service.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are many unofficial stores dedicated to selling LEGO.&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; It's possible that some of these independent stores would offer their own service which typically sells bricks by weight.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.flickr.com/photos/j1a3l5/333337591/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sup&gt;1.

As Zhaph mentionned, horses are a very good example.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, don't forget that LEGO is producing toys and that kids are their main target audience. Ask a kid what's cooler, the new [Kingdoms Joust](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?set=10223-1) or the yellow castle? Or even any [cool castle set](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=10000-1) of the eighties? Why do all minifigs have the same stupid fixed smile? Why don't they have alternate faces on the back of their heads? Where are the animals? Granted, it's a bit of an exageration, but still.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;They do take adults into account now, yes, but the &quot;sheer amount of nostalgia&quot; generated by re-issuing older sets may not be that big a market as we would believe. Even adults tend to be more in awe at newer sets (modular houses). I did buy the [re-issue of the USS Constellation](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?set=10021-1), and to be honest... I find nostalgia to be a bit overrated.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then there's the whole problem of parts which are simply not in production any longer, and for which the cost of reproducing them would offset the potential benefits of reissuing sets.

Maybe LEGO would need to make or even redesign some new molds, but if they felt there was a demand for it, that's probably not going to be the biggest issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, motors and articulated bogies may be more of a problem, as they rely on non-plastic parts which may even be outsourced. Of course, this is by no means authoritative, but LEGO would have to come up with new motors, and presumably have them fit the newer PF system.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is not impossible, and considering the PF battery box is only higher than the old 9V one, that wouldn't be much of an issue either.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So technically, there would be some high costs, but no real impossibility. As far as I know, the old system was quite stable as well, so that's not an issue either. But what may be stopping LEGO is whether they feel it would sell or not - they aren't in the toy business to make losses after all. So presumably their first monorail sets didn't sell too well, or not enough regarding to their cost.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But in all honesty, we may probably never really know.

In the meantime I had children, and now one of them is curious about it and I want to encourage that.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;The brick powers-up ok, but the RIS software won't install on my laptop (Win7 x64) and the laptop has no serial port to plug the IR tower into. To work around this I created a Windows XP virtual machine (in VMware Workstation), installed the RCS software on the VM, connected the IR tower to the laptop with an USB-to-serial [converter][1], and bridged the USB port to the VM. This kind of works, in that the RIS software can recognise the RCX brick. However, it says that the firmware is missing and needs to be downloaded. When I do this I repeatedly get a download error.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Update 1:** The RIS software displays the message &quot;Initializing and downloading firmware&quot;, the LCD on the RCX counts from 0 to 20 ten times, and then the RIS software displays the error &quot;RCX firmware failed to download&quot;. I think its trying to download *from* the PC *to* the RCS, not from the internet - if I disable the VMs network connection the it fails in exactly the same way and `netstat` isn't showing any network connection attempts inside the VM.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Has anyone here got a similar setup to work, or has any thoughts on what might be going wrong? Are there any command-line or diagnostic tools I could use to interrogate the RCX and/or upload the firmware outside of the RIS environment? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm tempted to just buy an NXT, which will be compatible with modern hardware, but I don't feel ready to give up just yet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Update 2:** I ran a USB sniffer *in the VM* to view the data being sent over the usb-to-serial connector. Lots of binary data being sent to the serial tower, and some patterns that suggest message framing in an application-level protocol, but nothing I could understand that indicates an error condition. The problem is not at the level of the usb adapter though.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Update 3:** In the end I found an old PC with a serial port and the RCX worked without a problem. The RIS software installs and works okay on Windows XP SP2.

You say you rinsed them, but I wonder if you noticed whether the axles felt oily or sticky at all beforehand?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This would be consistent with the kind of deterioration that is common with Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), a kind of plastic that was once common in toy manufacturing. I don't know for certain that these early axles were made from PVC, but I do know that LEGO did formerly use PVC for some non-brick pieces, and I have seen similar deterioration on other PVC items. This is a known [problem with Barbie dolls][1], for example.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;PVC typically has a plasticiser added to it to make it flexible, usually dibutyl phthalate. This plasticiser gradually &quot;leaks&quot; out of the plastic, leaving it discolored and vulnerable to deterioration and creating gasses (like hydrogen chloride) that will attack other PVC and hasten the process. Heat and light will accelerate the breakdown, and you indicate that these were stored together in a plastic bag. That might have contributed, as the gasses and plasticiser were trapped in contact with the pieces.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Phthalates are toxic and are now regulated in the US, EU, and many other countries. LEGO no longer uses PVC except [in some limited applications][2] like the insulation for electrical wiring. LEGO was one of the first companies to begin phasing out the use of PVC, in the 1990s.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To slow the deterioration of PVC, keeping it away from heat and light will help, as will keeping it ventilated to remove the harmful gasses produced by the plasticiser. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.mindfully.org/Plastic/Barbies-Health-Hazard.htm&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.safbaby.com/lead-free-pvc-free-and-fire-retardant-free-toy-manufacturers&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

We call this Sustainable Play.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; All LEGO bricks are compatible across time and product line, giving each brick a very long lifetime. LEGO bricks never become redundant, as each one can be reused to build new ideas and to unfold children’s creativity. Bricks that are not passed on to family or friends are often sold second-hand. We call this Sustainable Play. The resilience and long-life of LEGO products supports our Play Promise by extending play value over time. It also opposes a culture of ‘play and throw away’, helping to support our Planet Promise.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However they also touch on the option of recycling the bricks themselves when they talk about reusing them as the raw materials for new products:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Design for disassembly of LEGO elements**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Design for Disassembly is about designing a product so it can be separated into base elements of materials at its end-of-life.

However, as this page states:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Producing physical prints from our provided 3D models prompts certain fabrication considerations. According to Wikipedia, the precision of Lego pieces is less than 10 microns. As of early 2012, however, standard Makerbot printers have an XY resolution of 100 microns (0.1mm) and a default layer thickness of 360 microns (0.36mm). We thus caution that fabrication of the Free Universal Construction Kit with current (2012-era) solutions for DIY stereolithography, such as the Makerbot, Printrbot or RepRap, may lack the precision required for reliable or satisfactory coupling with standard commercial pieces. A great deal depends on how well-tuned the printer is; thus, your mileage may vary. In any case, we expect this situation will improve gradually, but inexorably, in tandem with improvements to these vibrantly evolving fabrication platforms. The artist’s proof shown here was created in a UV-cured white resin using a commercial-grade Objet (“polyjet”) 3D printer, which has a horizontal resolution of 42 microns, and a layer thickness of 16 microns. Ponoko.com and other private fabrication services offer printing from Objet machines and other high-resolution devices.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Free Art and Technology [F.A.T.] Lab and Sy-Lab. “The Free Universal Construction Kit.” Fffff.at, 20 March 2012. &lt;http://fffff.at/free-universal-construction-kit&gt;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The article cited deals with a universal construction kit that allows you to connect ten diffent types of construction sets together, and as this is a Lego site, you may not want to visit it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, the point being that &quot;standard&quot; 3D printers (such as the Makerbot or RepRap) will probably lack the precision to produce tolerable Lego bricks."

Play with the mixture until it comes out to your desired consistency. Make it in a squirt bottle, use it just like epoxy or whatever. This way, the entire work piece is made of ABS plastic so you shouldn't have problems with thermal expansion leading to cracks or separation like you can have with other materials.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If there isn't a tight fit though, Acetone alone might not be enough, and you can either melt a little plastic in Acetone solution to generate filler, or try other plastic-friendly glues that can both fit gaps and bond:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Right, assuming the parts that need to be glued are already a nice snug fit. Plastic welder and/or ABS sludge come in handy when you need to fill a gap though, as is so often the case in carPC-related fabrication.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'll be experimenting with a few of these soon and will update with my results.

This means we don't re-ask the same question once it's been answered - nor do we encourage speculative answers for which we have no definitive answer.&#xA;- If you want more information on a question that already exists on the site, you can edit the question, add more answers, add comments, or even ask a related question.

And as you hint, it can evolve into robotics, whether with a NXT or with anything else you fancy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you're after building complexity, I wouldn't recommend the architecture sets. The few I build weren't very challenging, and I find their price a bit on the heavy side. The bigger ones ([21005 - Fallingwater](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?set=21005-1) or [21010 - Robie House](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=21010-1) may be more challenging, though.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, sets with a high number of parts will usually mean the build is more complex. For example, [10214 - Tower Bridge](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=10214-1) has 4287 parts, and if you compare its price with the 2276-parts Architecture Robie House, you'll find it much more interesting.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Similarly, the various [modular buildings](http://www.brickset.com/browse/themes/?theme=Town&amp;subtheme=Modular%20Buildings) also have high parts counts and are fun to build and display afterwards; plus, they go well together when you get the chance to have more than one.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As an aside, notice the &quot;display&quot; aspect I mention is important too - what do you want to do with the set you'll end up buying? If you're after replay value (creating new things constantly, the [Creator](http://www.brickset.com/search/default.aspx?theme=Creator&amp;query=creator) theme has great sets with good play value, which are reasonably priced.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the other hand, if you're concerned about your set keeping some value, or if you're a fan, license sets may be a good choice, especially Star Wars which also has some very big and complex sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Last, keep in mind LEGO also give age ranges for its sets. They're estimates, but a set marked 16+ is likely to be more challenging to you, so you'll want to look for these. You can easily [browse the sets by age](http://shop.lego.com/ByAge) on the online LEGO shop, and even set limits for price and number of parts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In any case, whatever you end up buying, don't hesitate to come back and share your own experience."

The reward in completing and discovering them is way higher. To me the most enjoyable model was the [8880 Super Car][3] replaced by the more modern [8070 Super Car][4]. Although the new [9397 Logging Truck][5] seems to beat it when it comes to complexity and functions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But first you should try some simpler and yet enjoyable models.

That's the standard way of doing it in any Technic creation, and since it effectively adds the two input speeds (from the motors), it means you can create some variation in speed very easily.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I did that to power a PF-modified 7740 engine with two medium motors when the only remote available was the simple on/off one: one motor had its speed reduced to 1/3, so the range of available speeds where 4/3 (both motors on), 3/3 (regular motor on, 1/3 motor off), 2/3 (regular motor forward, 1/3 motor reverse), 1/3 (1/3 motor only), 0, and the same in reverse. Was awfully complicated to use the remote to go from one speed to the next, though.

The radius is 40 studs, or 800 ldu.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The outer, ridged track, is 2 to 3 studs further depending on which border you consider (and assuming you want borders instead of stud positions). So the radii for the border of that piece of track are 840 and 860.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, assuming the track circle is centered around (0,0), and using the usual way of considering circles in math (counterclockwise from (1,0)), your first piece of outer track starts at (820,0) and (830,0).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are 16 segments of track to a full circle, so the angle for one segment is 22,5°, or pi/8. So the end of your first track part is at (840*cos(pi/8),840*sin(pi/8)) to (860*cos(pi/8),860*sin(pi/8)), or (776.06,321.45) to (794.54,329.11)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Expanding further, you get the following segments for the short border of the outer track:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. (840.00,0.00)-(860.00,0.00)&#xD;&#xA;2. (776.06,321.45)-(794.54,329.11)&#xD;&#xA;3. (593.97,593.97)-(608.11,608.11)&#xD;&#xA;4. (321.45,776.06)-(329.11,794.54)&#xD;&#xA;5. (0.00,840.00)-(0.00,860.00)&#xD;&#xA;6. (-321.45,776.06)-(-329.11,794.54)&#xD;&#xA;7. (-593.97,593.97)-(-608.11,608.11)&#xD;&#xA;8. (-776.06,321.45)-(-794.54,329.11)&#xD;&#xA;9. (-840.00,0.00)-(-860.00,0.00)&#xD;&#xA;10. (-776.06,-321.45)-(-794.54,-329.11)&#xD;&#xA;11. (-593.97,-593.97)-(-608.11,-608.11)&#xD;&#xA;12. (-321.45,-776.06)-(-329.11,-794.54)&#xD;&#xA;13. (0.00,-840.00)-(0.00,-860.00)&#xD;&#xA;14. (321.45,-776.06)-(329.11,-794.54)&#xD;&#xA;15. (593.97,-593.97)-(608.11,-608.11)&#xD;&#xA;16. (776.06,-321.45)-(794.54,-329.11)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hopefully that makes sense. Watch out, these are the coordinates of the borders; for the coordinates of the studs (that is, the center of the studs, which I think is more interesting, but I don't know what your goal is) we'll have to use a radius of 850, and move 10 ldu along the tangent to find the stud. So to find the stud after the segment, we'll do (850*cos(pi/8)-10*sin(pi/8),850*sin(pi/8)+10*cos(pi/8)). For each segment N starting from 1, the studs are as follow:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - start stud: (850*cos((N-1)*pi/8)-10*sin((N-1)*pi/8) , 850*sin((N-1)*pi/8)+10*cos((N-1)*pi/8))&#xD;&#xA; - end stud: (850*cos(N*pi/8)+10*sin(N*pi/8) , 850*sin(N*pi/8)-10*cos(N*pi/8))&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;End the two studs in the center of the track are basically and end stud if the angle was pi/16, and the start stud of the next track, or:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - first middle stud: (850*cos((N-1)*pi/8+pi/16)+10*sin((N-1)*pi/8+pi/16) , 850*sin((N-1)*pi/8+pi/16)-10*cos((N-1)*pi/8+pi/16))&#xD;&#xA; - second middle stud: (850*cos((N-1)*pi/8+pi/16)-10*sin((N-1)*pi/8+pi/16) , 850*sin((N-1)*pi/8+pi/16)+10*cos((N-1)*pi/8+pi/16))&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The four studs of the first part of track are thus at coordinates:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - start stud: (850.00,10.00)&#xD;&#xA; - first middle stud: (831.72,175.63)&#xD;&#xA; - second middle stud: (835.62,156.02)&#xD;&#xA; - end stud: (789.12,316.04)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

And that its facial features should be happy and neutral . The figure would have no sex, race or role – these would be determined by the child’s imagination and play.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It then explains when and why they added colour for their licensed figures&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; With licensed products such as LEGO® Star Wars™ and LEGO® Harry Potter™ the figure began appearing in specific roles, and with LEGO Basketball in 2003 it took on authentic skin colours. In 2004 the LEGO minifigure assumed an even wider range of skin colours when it was decided that the figures in licensed products should resemble the original characters as closely as possible. One result was that the figures in LEGO Harry Potter™ changed from yellow to a more authentic skin colour.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first ones I remember seeing were indeed some of the NBA League characters as part of the Basketball theme in 2003, followed by the Star Wars products and then the Harry Potter sets in 2004.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lando Calrissian was one of the first to appear in the correct skin tone, amongst yellow Han and Leia:&#xD;&#xA;![Bespin Cloud City Box Art][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Followed later by pink characters for the rest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since then, the collectable Minifigures have occasionally featured non-yellow heads for some of their more &quot;monstrous&quot; figures, such as the Witch, Zombie and genie.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/YuF51.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://cache.lego.com/da-dk/~/-/media/fb2cb1210de24e85860e16b19275cead.pdf" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Brickprinter.com also uses a pad printer.  It takes a lot of skill to get the printing to work correctly.  You have to have the proper amount of solvent in the ink to get it to adhere to the part and not smudge.  The solvent also softens the ABS plastic so that the ink actually embeds into the part.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Pad printers are also quite expensive.  On the order of tens of thousands of $$$ for one that will do multiple colors in sequence.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've been looking at using special &quot;direct to substrate&quot; (DTS) printers. There is an inkjet printer that has a 5000+ dpi resolution, can print on ABS using solvent inks, can print on an object upto 2&quot; thick, and also has the capability of printing pigmented white ink (so you don't have to only print on white bricks).  This printer is also expensive, though not as expensive as a pad printer.  Used on eBay runs about $5000.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For the general user, it's probably best to stick with water slide decals, since the average cost of a 8.5&quot;x11&quot; sheet of decal paper is about $1.  There are different kinds of paper (inkjet and laser), so make sure you get the right kind for your printer.  Laser printed decals do not REQUIRE a clear coat to protect them, but I still do.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I also use an ALPS printer that uses resin based inks.  The printer has been discontinued, but the supplies are still available.  Generally colors are printed in layers, but in addition to the cyan, yellow, magenta and black ribbons, there are metallic silver, metallic gold, chrome silver, chrome gold, chrome magenta, chrome cyan and the most important color, white.  This allows ALPS owners to lay down a layer of white (opaque), then add the semi-transparent (cyan, yellow and magenta) inks on top.  Kodak used to make a printer (First Check) that used compatible ink cartridges and they also produced a Red, Blue, Green and Orange ink.  Useful if you can find them, but pretty much impossible to find." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This is an e-mail group that discusses making water slide decals using the ALPS printer.  There are members of the group that do have businesses that produce decals.  I don't know how much people charge for custom decal sheets.  You'll have to ask.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://groups.yahoo.com/group/alpsdecal/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Most decals that these folks produce use multiple layers of white ink under your actual artwork so that it allows the decal to be placed on a colored brick (not just white).  Your artwork also needs to be constructed using multiple layers that are lined up (registered).  Because the layers are usually printed in the &quot;spot&quot; printing mode, the actual layer art is black.  Think of each layer as a &quot;mask&quot;.  When they print it, they tell the printer that where ever it sees black, to print say yellow.  Yellow is the &quot;spot&quot; color for this layer.  You start by printing usually 2 white layers, then spot yellow, cyan, magenta and finally black.  The unique feature of the ALPS printer is the capability of printing in overlay mode.  What this means is that you tell the printer to print a layer, but don't eject the paper.  The printer will rewind the paper back to the beginning and await your next print request.  Each print request is a separate layer printed on top of the previous layer(s).  This way, the final image is built up layer by layer.  On the last print (usually black), you tell it NOT to do overlay and when the layer is finished printing, the printer will eject the paper.  This type of printing is a lot of work and can use a lot of ink, especially white ink, which is expensive, but it gives the best results for the average hobbyist.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Like Joshua above noted, you can produce your own decals with a color laser (or inkjet) printer quite easily.  You are stuck with a big cutting job if you want to put the decal unto a colored minifig body (using white decal paper).  You can use clear decal paper if the artwork is black, because the decal shows fine on white, yellow, tan, red, green, orange, and blue parts.  Remember, if you are using inkjet decal paper, you must coat the decal with a clear finish (Krylon), prior to placing in water (to remove the backing) when applying to your minifig, otherwise, your artwork will smudge and wash off your decal."

That's why a lot of recent new parts are just of the &quot;it so obviously makes sense, why didn't they do that before&quot;-kind (1x3 tile, 1x1 bricks with 1 knob,...).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So the designer willing to commission a new part for one of his sets will need to support that cost as part of the cost of his set, which is imposed to him. I guess there are much more rules than that (if multiple designers agree on a part, for example), but that's the basics of it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, note that producing an existing part in a new colour follows the same rules to an extend, its calculated cost is higher than an existing colour for that part.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To summarize: each existing part has an associated production cost which the designers must take into account when creating a set. Non-existing parts are similarly associated a cost, which is calculated according to a lot of rules/factors which aren't public.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Even the costs of existing elements show subtle variations: some colours are cheaper than others, for example; or older elements may be more expensive because moulds aren't optimized (the known case is the Technic axle 5 which is cheaper than the 4 one, because there are twice as many of them on a mould).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Last thing, more as an aside: the cost of the first part in a model is also higher than the next ones, because it helps production to have more similar parts (that's why a model featuring 1x2 bricks with groove may not feature any regular 1x2 bricks in the same colour if it's not required)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit: here is a [very interesting video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kWfm4Ca9H0&amp;feature=relmfu) on how they do prototype the new elements. Notice at the beginning of the video, the designer explicitely mentions he couldn't get the shape he wanted with existing elements, so he had to have a new one made. This was for a license set (cars), so again the decision in this case may be easier to take.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Allow me to address the question regarding grooves on the tiles:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; What's the difference between tiles with and without grooves?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Basically, on tiles without grooves, the vertical edges are straight from top to bottom. On tiles with grooves, there is a small lip at the bottom of the tile just large enough for a fingernail or a separator tool.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A visual comparison between the 1 x 2 tile without groove (red) and the 1 x 2 tile with groove (grey) shows the flat vertical sides vs. the lip that forms the 'groove'&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Without groove][1]&#xD;&#xA;![With groove][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Is the groove on the bottom?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yes, it runs all the way around the bottom of the tile.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Is one piece much more useful than the other?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The difference is mainly in the ease of removing the tiles once attached to another Lego element.

What is really the question is if you want the mindstorms brick to perform the decision making, or if you want some other device to do that for you.  This works in two ways:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You download a program onto the NXT that it can run in its native format.  Based on sensor input and the program which you've written, the NXT can operate by itself.  This is how the mindstorms modules are primarely designed to operate out of the box - where you use their &quot;visual&quot; programming interface to create a program and then download it to the NXT.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As listed above, there are various other types of programming languages and interfaces you can use to write programs for the NXT.  Eventually they require you to download them to the NXT - which will again be performing all the necessary calculations to run the program on-bard of the brick.  These tend to offer you more control over your program however ultimately rely on the computing power available on the NXT.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The second scenario is to use the NXT as sort of a &quot;slave&quot; to another device with more computing power.  This device - such as a PC or MAC, can be used to send down real-time direct commands to the NXT device to operate on.  Based on feedback transfered back to the host computer, you can send down other commands.  Using this method, you can use any programming language you are comfortable with - and simply use the NXT as a &quot;dumb&quot; device.  This offers you the most verstility, and you can use virtually any programming language you are comfortable with.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What's nice about the NXT is that it allows you to use such a wide array of different techniques to control it - which makes it a great platform.  One great walk-through of sending these direct commands over bluetooth to the NXT can be found here:&#xD;&#xA;http://www.robotappstore.com/Knowledge-Base/Programming-LEGO-NXT-Mindstorms/92.html&#xD;&#xA;I would recomend checking it out, since its a great introduction to getting started.  If your computer supports bluetooth, you can easily download realterm (free) and get your robotic project working quickly!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I will admit that sending these direct commands to the NXT is a bit more advanced than say the type of visual programming used with the supplied Lego software, but it will allow you to use any language you wish, and with slight modification you can use your code for un-related projects too!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hope this helps!&#xD;&#xA;-Ryan" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If not, you'll need to make sure there is sufficient padding so that your LEGO box doesn't move freely in the cardboard box. Padding might be a good idea anyway if you aren't too sure of how careful you'll be with the outer box, a dented corner happens very fast.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, you'll want to store the boxes in a dry area, and out of reach of other hazardous elements (cats come to mind - shredding boxes is the _raison d'être_ of some, the rest prefer peeing on everything which you'll want to avoid too).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All this isn't exactly specific to LEGO, but my last bit of advice would be to turn the boxes from time to time so that the weight of the elements settling inside don't always affect the same side. Or at the very least, store your boxes flat. If you were to store a big box on the same side, the bricks inside will put enough pressure on the side that they'll eventually deform them."

Install the latest NXT edu 2.1f from the large (~900meg) zip file that Lego support sent us (sorry, I don't have  a download link)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3.	Delete the /Library/Frameworks/Fantom.framework and /Library/Frameworks/Visa.framework directories completely (VISA or something, I might not have the full name spelled correctly but it is something like that)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4.

Maybe LEGO would need to make or even redesign some new molds, but if they felt there was a demand for it, that's probably not going to be the biggest issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, motors and articulated bogies may be more of a problem, as they rely on non-plastic parts which may even be outsourced. Of course, this is by no means authoritative, but LEGO would have to come up with new motors, and presumably have them fit the newer PF system.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is not impossible, and considering the PF battery box is only higher than the old 9V one, that wouldn't be much of an issue either.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Someone asked a LEGO representative at an event whether monorail would come back, and his answer was a quite clear &quot;no plans to do so at the moment&quot;, citing difference in perception about it between adults and child.s Basically, only some adult fans want monorail, kids don't, so it would make little commercial sense to produce monorail again right now.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So technically, there would be some high costs, but no real impossibility. As far as I know, the old system was quite stable as well, so that's not an issue either. But what may be stopping LEGO is whether they feel it would sell or not - they aren't in the toy business to make losses after all. So presumably their first monorail sets didn't sell too well, or not enough regarding to their cost.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But in all honesty, we may probably never really know. LEGO employees will basically always answer &quot;monorail is not coming back&quot;, but even they have only a limited vison of the future (and they can't tell about it anyway).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You may want to support some [monorail projects](http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/6615) on [CUUSOO](http://lego.cuusoo.com/) - who knows."

Fans vowed to never play with LEGO again, and so on. The fact that the LEGO company did the change unannounced, and even happily mixed both palettes in some sets, didn't help. Then they said the new colours were there to stay, and nowadays I'm not sure there are many fans left holding a grudge against this (apart from the ones who did really quit the hobby, I suppose, but then they aren't fans anymore, are they?)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And no, it wasn't a matter of factory change but a deliberate change to make the overall palette more satisfying and attractive for children, who are the target consumers of the LEGO company.

And don't rely too heavily on measurements you get from ldraw (and not just for Duplo).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For a really long-winded history on this...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;First, note that when I authored the original Duplo parts I never actually measured them with a ruler or calipers, as there was no need.  The ldraw system assumes &quot;perfect&quot; dimensions in terms of other ldraw parts, so you typically measure parts by comparing them to other Lego pieces.  By this measurement, Duplo in ldraw (not counting the studs) is exactly twice the size of Lego.  In real life, any part is slightly smaller than the nominal measurement so that you can slide two parts next to each other without them hanging up on each other.  Duplo parts seem to be about twice as tolerant in this way, so I'd guess that in real life also the outer dimensions are very close to twice the size.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some time in the 1990's, Duplo studs were changed.  They were made taller, and the inner hole got larger (making the stud walls thinner).  They also added bumps to the inside of the stud hole.  The ldraw Duplo stud has the taller height of the new stud and the perfect roundness and dimensions of the old stud hole.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Regular Lego bricks used to have smooth internal walls, and the ldraw bricks still look like this.  Duplo bricks always had &quot;splines&quot; that run vertically along the inside walls for Duplo studs to clutch.  Regular Lego studs clutch against the outer wall of the Duplo brick instead.  This is how studs of different sizes can both fit into the underside of a Duplo brick.  Around (2003?) Lego started making the walls of regular Lego look like Duplo bricks.  I assume this is a cost-cutting measure where they now use less plastic to mold the walls, but now have splines like Duplo so that the walls are the old thickness in the places where studs need to clutch.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So... Duplo wall thickness is the same as Lego wall thickness from before 2003 or so.  It's 4 LDU (ldraw units) if that helps.  For reference, a plate is 8 LDU high without the stud, and a 1x1x1 brick is 20x20x24 LDU without the stud.  Studs in ldraw are 4 LDU high, but that is totally inaccurate.  Non-hollow studs are clearly more than half the height of a plate, and the real height of regular studs should be more like 4.25 LDU.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Be very wary of the measurements that you get from parts converted from ldraw format to POV-Ray.  L3P scales each part down just a little bit to let POV-Ray show edge lines.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is no simple real-world conversion from ldraw units to inches or centimeters.  For more info on that, see my lugnet post from 2001: http://news.lugnet.com/cad/?n=5284.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Primo is another story..." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Sorting by colour is least helpful, by shape much better.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Don't dismantle partial assemblies until you've either (a) identified the sets that they come from or (b) you're sure they won't help you identify particular sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**To help you identify the sets**:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Search through anything that you've got that is made of paper - sticker sheets, instructions, boxes or bits of boxes, etc. These often have set numbers on them, or pictures from which you can identify sets.&#xD;&#xA; - If you find a part with a number printed / stickered on to it, that number could well be a set number.&#xD;&#xA; - Find other bricks with stickers or designs. These can be a good indication of the kind of sets they are from.&#xD;&#xA; - Look for other unusual parts or parts in unusual colours. Minifigs and their accessories are a good starting point.&#xD;&#xA; - Look for partially completed models that look like they come from sets. It is usually easy to tell the difference between something that a child's build from something that was designed by LEGO.&#xD;&#xA; - Look at the general mix of parts. Lots of bricks that are 2 studs wide suggests that they come from basic building sets, whereas 1-stud wide parts are more likely to be walls for buildings. Lots of grey could indicate Star Wars sets. It is fairly easy to identify Bionicle and Technic parts.&#xD;&#xA; - Most collections of LEGO span a decade or so, so you can limit the identification process to the if you can guess the era covered by the collection - either from your child's age, from any sets you can identify, or from individual parts that were only made for a short time. Remember, however, that this is not a hard-and-fast rule - many collections have sets / bricks from outside their core collecting years.&#xD;&#xA; - Bare in mind that LEGO often produce several quite similar sets. For example, if you think you're fairly sure you've got a fire engine but can't find half the parts you expect, then you're probably trying to find the parts from the wrong fire engine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Get to know the following reference sites**:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [Peeron][1]&#xD;&#xA; - [Brisklink][2]&#xD;&#xA; - [Brickset][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If all else fails, post pictures of the less common parts here and we'll see if we can help identify the sets that they're from.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Finally:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Don't despair if you can't sort everything out.

Bear in mind that this period (the eighties, in a nutshell) correspond to the period when most of nowadays AFOLs were kids, so they have fond memories of the sets they had or drooled about.

While you can find some names for complete elements in, for example, [service parts catalogues](http://www.peeron.com/catalogs/1991/service/), I don't think you'll find much for specific subparts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Given the [1958 patent illustration](http://www.swiss-miss.com/2012/03/lego-patent-drawing.html), it's likely the [patent itself](http://isodomos.com/technica/history/1950/1957.php) named subparts, and more specifically studs and tubes. The [original Kiddicraft patent](http://worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?CC=GB&amp;NR=529580&amp;KC=&amp;FT=E) called studs &quot;bosses&quot;, by the way.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Keep in mind LEGO has, until recently, be very protective of what it's been doing internally; as such, the community as a whole didn't have much info, so that a lot of current nowadays terminology isn't official, but rather derived from public habit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, that's changed a lot recently, and LEGO isn't as shy as it was when it comes to publish internal data such as colour names and numrical IDs, design IDs, parts IDs, and even part names. The only problem is that they never bothered to have a truly consistent naming scheme, and the fact that English isn't the main language of Denmark doesn't help.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yet it does help us find official subpart names, which we can hunt through the online [pick-a-brick](http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Pick-A-Brick-ByTheme) selection.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first one is a shocker: the &quot;stud&quot; is, in fact, called &quot;knob&quot; (the fan-nicknamed &quot;jumper plate&quot;, or LDraw's &quot;[Plate 1 x 2 with 1 Stud](http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3794)&quot;, being officially a &quot;Plate 1X2 W. 1 Knob&quot;, and there are numerous other examples).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The small pins inside 1xn bricks are &quot;pins&quot; (LDraw's &quot;[Brick 1 x 2 without Centre Stud](http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3065)&quot; is a &quot;Brick 1X2 Without Pin&quot;).

Jamie Berard, then a relatively new designer in Billund gave an excellent presentation on why certain techniques are considered &quot;illegal&quot; in official sets. The basics message is that building techniques should:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - not stress the bricks&#xD;&#xA; - be suitable for the target audience of the set&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;He described in some detail the ways that Technic beams and regular system bricks can and cannot be combined in official sets. The main problem areas occur because:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Technic holes don't exactly line up with the studs on the sides of system bricks&#xD;&#xA; - the holes in Technic beams are slightly smaller than the ones in system bricks&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The implications are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Although system brick studs can be inserted in the holes in technic beams, this should be avoided where it would be difficult for children to take apart. Jamie gives an example where a brick has a single stud inserted into a beam, and describes it as &quot;tehnically legal&quot; (but not recommended). This is the situation in your example.&#xD;&#xA; - Where the combination of Technic and system bricks results in an assembly where components interfere with each other, this can stress the parts. However, this is not the case in the example you cited.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;According to these rules, then, the example you give is *not* illegal. Clearly, it can be a problem under some circumstances, but is acceptable under others.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Unfortunately, none of this actually answers your original question, as there remain two possibilities:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Your assertion that &quot;at one point, Lego didn't really support putting a stud into a Technic hole, stating that it caused too much stress on the bricks&quot; may not be correct. The misapprehension may have arisen because Lego emphasised the illegal uses of the technique, but down-played legal ones. In that case, we may assume that set designers simply chose not to use the technique (or were unaware thay they could because they, too, were misguided).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 2. The alternative explanation is that Lego did make a sweeping statement to this effect, but later realised that it needed clarification. In which case, Jamie's presentation in 2006 seems to be the first clear public statement of the more detailed rules (of course, internal designers might well have been aware of the policy tweak much ealier, but still chosen not to use the technique). If there was such a policy adjustment, this would establish why the technique was not used until recently.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Without the text of Lego's earlier communications on the subject, it is difficult to know which explanation is the correct one. Either way, I'd urge you to look at the slides for Jamie's presentation. It is available online [in powerpoint format][1] and as a [pdf][2].

Processing bricks is a lot more pleasant with my homemade device, which is vaguely similar to the devices above, but made from MDF.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that the commercial products have holes that are square, not round, so the size of bricks that is blocked by them is kind of variable.  My sorter has two sorting levels, one with 30mm holes and one with 15mm holes.  Because LEGO bricks are 8mm per stud, _nothing_ 4x4 or over falls through the top level, and _nothing_ 2x2 or over goes through the second.  I could have done 22/23mm holes for 3x3s and 7mm for sub 1x1s, but empirically they're rare pieces and not worth the effort. The holes are laid out in a hexagonal grid, on a sheet of MDF large enough to cover - and fall straight through into - my storage boxes (450mm square, as that's the size the sheets come in).  Spacing of the holes and thickness of the MDF was selected to ensure strength - MDF doesn't distort too much before breaking, and using MDF was important because it's cheap, common and unlikely to damage the bricks.  There are sides to each tray to prevent spillage, and nodes on the underside to lock each layer into the one below.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The hardest part in constructing my sorting trays was finding drill bits for making 30mm and 15mm holes; I found only one 30mm spade bit in my local hardware superstore, and I had to go to a commercial tool supplier for the 15mm bit.  I also needed a new drill, as my existing one couldn't spin slowly enough to make _round_ holes with a spade bit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, here's the entire unit; you can see the sides to hold a reasonable amount of LEGO without spilling over:&#xD;&#xA;![The entire unit][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And here's what LEGO swamping the 30mm holes in the top looks like. Most of the time I'm operating at this level; the second level can contain a large number of pieces given they're so much smaller.&#xD;&#xA;![30mm holes in the top][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The second level gets the smaller parts falling through while you're pawing through the top tier.  You can see the spacing created by the tall corner posts, this is to allow a 2x16 plate (the longest part I'd expect to process - 128mm) to fall through if it wants too - but typically something that long won't fall from the top level, as its lowest centre of gravity lays it flat and so the great length won't fit through the topmost holes.  If one were to slip into a hole, it could be raked into a position to fall, so about 10% or 20% of pieces as large as this fall through to this level.&#xD;&#xA;![The second level][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The small detritus finds its way to the bottom level&#xD;&#xA;![The bottom level][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here you can see the locking nodes that prevent the tiers rotating and moving off the tier below.&#xD;&#xA;![The underside][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Prior to building this I experimented with a number of designs and found that they had a common problem of clogging up.  This experiences that to some extent too, but has a vast number of holes to minimize the impact, and a finger poked up from below can clear the blockage.  Radar dishes and large cones, for example, are good at filling holes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I do have a tumbler to separate out plates and other small items from bricks, but it requires a lot of work to cause the separation so I wouldn't recommend it as a sorting tool.

Processing bricks is a lot more pleasant with my homemade device, which is vaguely similar to the devices above, but made from MDF.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that the commercial products have holes that are square, not round, so the size of bricks that is blocked by them is kind of variable.  My sorter has two sorting levels, one with 30mm holes and one with 15mm holes.  Because LEGO bricks are 8mm per stud, _nothing_ 4x4 or over falls through the top level, and _nothing_ 2x2 or over goes through the second.  I could have done 22/23mm holes for 3x3s and 7mm for sub 1x1s, but empirically they're rare pieces and not worth the effort. The holes are laid out in a hexagonal grid, on a sheet of MDF large enough to cover - and fall straight through into - my storage boxes (450mm square, as that's the size the sheets come in).  Spacing of the holes and thickness of the MDF was selected to ensure strength - MDF doesn't distort too much before breaking, and using MDF was important because it's cheap, common and unlikely to damage the bricks.  There are sides to each tray to prevent spillage, and nodes on the underside to lock each layer into the one below.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The hardest part in constructing my sorting trays was finding drill bits for making 30mm and 15mm holes; I found only one 30mm spade bit in my local hardware superstore, and I had to go to a commercial tool supplier for the 15mm bit.  I also needed a new drill, as my existing one couldn't spin slowly enough to make _round_ holes with a spade bit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, here's the entire unit; you can see the sides to hold a reasonable amount of LEGO without spilling over:&#xD;&#xA;![The entire unit][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And here's what LEGO swamping the 30mm holes in the top looks like. Most of the time I'm operating at this level; the second level can contain a large number of pieces given they're so much smaller.&#xD;&#xA;![30mm holes in the top][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The second level gets the smaller parts falling through while you're pawing through the top tier.  You can see the spacing created by the tall corner posts, this is to allow a 2x16 plate (the longest part I'd expect to process - 128mm) to fall through if it wants too - but typically something that long won't fall from the top level, as its lowest centre of gravity lays it flat and so the great length won't fit through the topmost holes.  If one were to slip into a hole, it could be raked into a position to fall, so about 10% or 20% of pieces as large as this fall through to this level.&#xD;&#xA;![The second level][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The small detritus finds its way to the bottom level&#xD;&#xA;![The bottom level][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here you can see the locking nodes that prevent the tiers rotating and moving off the tier below.&#xD;&#xA;![The underside][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Prior to building this I experimented with a number of designs and found that they had a common problem of clogging up.  This experiences that to some extent too, but has a vast number of holes to minimize the impact, and a finger poked up from below can clear the blockage.  Radar dishes and large cones, for example, are good at filling holes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I do have a tumbler to separate out plates and other small items from bricks, but it requires a lot of work to cause the separation so I wouldn't recommend it as a sorting tool.  I could supply an image for those with an academic interest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I showed my device at my local LUG, and a year or so later another member went and made his own [tennis-racket inspired LEGO sifter][6]. I humbly suggest this device suffers from the same problem with square (or sometimes triangular) holes that the commercial devices exhibit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/pp4BV.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/oKpV6.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/pPJTU.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/2PaFA.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/oPvDA.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://moz.net.nz/lego/2012-08-19-lego-sifting/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

To count these out accurately I use high precision scales (0.01g), but I'm never confident about the counts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Be aware that as well as **variations in mold design** (which other answers have pointed out), even pieces from the exact same place on the same mold can have different masses. **Different colours** of LEGO have different densities, so even for the same volume of plastic you'll get different weights.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I commonly come across sets with two different moldings, for example with the rods in the underside of bricks being hollow or not.  The reason for this is that mold designs are changed when designs with better characteristics - typically plastic consumption, but possibly heat dissipation, flow attributes or other factors - are created.  But manufacturing a mold costs a vast amount of money; the most expensive ones are over a quarter of a million dollars. Because of this large capital cost to produce molds, LEGO manufactures elements from **different mold designs at the same time** (plastic molds can be good for 10 to 250 thousand impressions, and might be refurbished rather than retired an the end of this run) and you have a world where your question can't be answered definitively. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's the best advice I can offer: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  1. weigh many identically-coloured bricks on a high-precision scale* &#xD;&#xA;  2. before you do, inspect each brick to ensure that there are no mold variations&#xD;&#xA;  3. divide the total mass by the number of bricks&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*_I have a kitchen scale that has 2 grams of [precision][1], and a much smaller scale that works to 0.01g. Which is more precise? More accurate? How can you make one give more precise answers than the other?&lt;br/&gt;If you go more precise that than 0.01g you're going to have to protect against noise introduced by fluctuations in air pressure (as it is, I have to be careful not to breathe on the 0.01g scales or the reading bounces around for a while). If you go to a jeweller's shop, you can see how they deal with this problem when they weigh gold and gems - they put a hood over the scale!_&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accuracy_and_precision" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This will probably be the worst solution, since you'll end up with a set of parts which may be totally unrelated to each other, and in which most members don't recognize their choices.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Do the same with more parts, 5 or 10, then try to reduce the list somehow to what LEGO is willing to accept (asking the members to vote on parts, maybe?). Can be a cumbersome and lengthy process, but at least your LUG members will feel more like they have a say in the process.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Have the persons in charge of the LUG pick the parts themselves. This can lead to a good cohesive set of parts which go well together, but you'll risk that some members don't like your choice. For example, you may want to pick all 1xn tan bricks and plates, all 1xn dark red bricks and plates, a few door/windows and roof tiles. Great for house builders, less great for Technic nuts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Try to combine the different solutions. Maybe you have members in the club with a different status (we do have regular and &quot;effective&quot; members, for instance, for people who choose to be more involved in the club); or maybe you can attribute points for event participation (we did that once to distribute some free loot we had gotten from somewhere, and it proved to be an interesting system), so that people who are more involved in the club get more points. Then maybe more involved people can pick more parts, or participate ina  global discussion process.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Rotate themes. This time, we'll do houses, next time, Technic parts. Promise, honest. Cross my heart.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Once you have picked up parts, you'll have to pick quantities. There you'll also need to ask members for their input, either committed or not. Our club always buys a bit more on its own money, which members can buy directly afterwards. Handy when the club committee picks up the parts themselves, but your treasury needs to be able to cope with that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for the organizational side of things, as you say, excel files may be very cumbersome; but I'd advise to stick with them. You may be tempted to develop a custom web site, for example, but keep in mind it will require maintenance, and that usually means someone has to be devoted to it, and be able to work on it fast enough. If you have such a person, great. If not, don't bother too much." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I ran across this in attempting to answer a &quot;how much does a brick weigh&quot; question.  What I thought was a homogenous batch of bricks turned out to have a few with hollow posts.  The bricks were all purchased new in the last three years.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From a &quot;material cost productivity&quot; standpoint, it will be in TLG's best interest to migrate to the hollow posts since parts from these molds will require less material to serve the same function (but not immediately).  An expedient time to do this would be when a mold is at end of life requires replacement.  So, I would expect to see significant variation continue for years to come.  The balance point is the cost of replacing a single mold with the reduction in processed material costs over the expected remaining life of the mold.  So the older the mold is the less cost effective it is to replace prematurely, but the newer one represents less time in service to amortize the mold over fewer piece parts... both of these things mean that the replacement will likely be when the mold normally reaches end of life.  Since the useful life is very long, it is more likely that we are seeing parts from line or factory expansions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It's simple enough that I can ask people in the public to do it when I'm lazy, but for bigger displays it's a given that the points of possible failure should be minimized as much as possible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So my question is, is it possible to create a mechanism that would auto-unblock? To clarify, what it needs to do is to drive an axle in one direction, and if that axle becomes blocked, make it rotate shortly in the other direction, then resume.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My first thought was to try using differentials, by splitting the rotation on two paths, the regular one driving the axle, and the other one having some resistance to it (using a gear on a Technic pin with friction, for example), then recombining the paths somehow so that when the first is blocked, the second would take precedence and drive the mechanism backwards.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Unfortunately, a nagging thought at the back of my head tells me it'll never work as such (as going forward is always easier than going backwards, even if it's blocked forwards, it will just stay locked in place), and a first experiments confirms this (at least it's a solution if I run short of clutch wheels...).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, a robotic solution would be easy to work out, but I would like to be able to replicate that kind of mechanism a lot (what, you think I have only one jamming module?), and I tend to prefer the pureness of mechanical-only solutions. Pneumatics would probably be OK, but I'd rather do it without.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'll accept any working solution, but the more compact the better.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sup&gt;1) For those interested, it's the blue and yellow one with trans-clear front in which the hand of God puts some balls at 00:15 in [this video of the LEGOworld Copenhagen 2011 GBC setup](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9VBQ3hW6t8)&lt;/sup&gt;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Also many of the flat wing pieces have more antistuds for overlapping purposes.

You may want to use more sleepers under blue tracks to stabilise it, although the 12v inserts help. Mixing blue and grey track and inserts shouldn't be a problem, should you wish to do so. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Motors are also compatible and pick up power the exact same way. Cables use the same connectors and are thus compatible too (if you want to add lighting to your trains).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for accessories, I can't be sure but I believe there are limitations. If you look at the [blue transformer](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=740-2), you'll notice the output to remote control the switch is 16v AC, while grey era remotes use 12v DC. Feeding 12v remotes with 16v might work (it's just an electromagnet inside and shouldn't be exposed for too long), if the blue era remotes need 16v, they may not work with only 12v.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Moreover, the wiring is also different: 12v era remotes use a standard cable, and the polarity determines the direction you want to turn it, but the blue era points use a 3-wire cable, as evidence by this [extension cable](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=708-1). And let's not forget the difference AC/DC, which mean you'll have to add some non-LEGO components to make it work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In short, I think controlling 12v era remotes with the blue transformer should be easy (a couple of diodes should do the trick), but the opposite might prove tricky, and if you have blue points, you may want to get a blue transformer as well. (Then again, I don't know enough about electronics to know how tricky it would be).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A small caveat though: I assumed you have the blue point without the remotes themselves, but since they were sold together, it could be that you get the point, wiring and remote together.

They do that too with licensed sets, by the way; for example, the Harley Quinn minifig financed the cost of the jester headgear.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then, as you ask, do they actually test the market?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In a way, this would seem to make sense: if, say, spartan minifigs sell well, LEGO might be tempted to introduce spartan sets. Yet I think there are two problems with that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first is that they need to follow which minifig is more sought after, which they can't study from their own data since they sell &quot;random&quot; minifigs and the buyer can't pick the ones they want. Of course, they can check the aftermarket for that, bricklink prices and so forth, but is that really representative of what fans want, I don't know.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The second point is that sets design happens quite a long time before sets reach the shops. A designer told me in july 2012 that all 2013 sets were already designed, so you can count on 1 year and half between design and shops. Moreover, designing sets isn't the first step, and picking themes come before that. So if LEGO feels that a particular minifig sells well and decide to make a theme based on it, it'll be two years before that theme appears. Which isn't to say they won't, but I think they're a bit more preemptive than that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, in my opinion, LEGO might decide to do whole themes which have similarities with collectible minifigs, but I doubt they take the time to test the market - they just use the minifigs to offset the cost of new parts in upcoming sets. So, will we see cavemen sets? Spartan sets? Noone but LEGO can say at this point, but it's a possibility. It seems there will be some western sets in 2013, and we've indeed seen indian minifigs in the first series.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

(He also happens to be the one who will spend the most).  We followed this general format to keep everything organized.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. At the most recent club meeting, we agreed on those parts that the club needed for upcoming projects. These get the highest priority.&#xD;&#xA;2. Once we received notice of LB2013, we asked all of the members to submit their information needed to register and to get an accurate count for Lego.  We gave our members 10 days to get this in.&#xD;&#xA;3. Within 5 days, each member was allowed to submit up to 10 part requests in order of priority.  Each member is also required to submit the ElementID along with each part in order to make things easier.&#xD;&#xA;4. The person in charge of LUGBULK for us merged everything together and removed any duplicates.  If we were over our maximum of 100 elements on the wishlist, things get removed that were likely to be declined, or that would be cheaper on BrickLink or PAB. &#xD;&#xA;5. The wishlist is submitted to Lego.&#xD;&#xA;6. Once the approved list and prices are returned to us, we create an excel sheet of available elements and add in columns for BrickLink color names and current BrickLink prices and send it to all members.&#xD;&#xA;7. All members are required to send in their orders within 7 days.  &#xD;&#xA;8. The coordinator merges together the orders and sends to Lego.&#xD;&#xA;9. Once the LUGBULK order is received (on a pallette :) ), the coordinator pays Lego directly, divvies up the orders (or we have a sort party to do it) and then each member pays the coordinator."

My scale measures to the nearest 0.1gram. A 1x4 plate (one third the height of the brick) weighs 0.7grams.  Together they weigh 2.3grams, so the actual weight of each part is likely 1.65 to 1.70 grams and 0.65 to 0.70 grams respectively based on that.  These were standard parts, I don't think that the color will matter within the measurement accuracy, however, a transparent part is made from a different material and will likely be different.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I also grabbed 4 1x4 (standard, nontransparent) bricks at random and collectively they weighed 6.4grams.  I made sure that they all appeared to have the same type of mold.  I found one that had small depressions on the tube side (likely for mold venting) and excluded this (it weighed about 0.05 to 0.1grams less than the others).  So this suggests that this particular type weighs, 1.6 grams on average.  I'm not sure what the expected variation would be, but with a little statistics you could figure out how many you would need to measure to get a most likely value.  For your purposes, I recommend that you use 1.6 grams if the three tubes do not have a depression on the end (and 1.5grams if they do) and if you need to know better, take some measurements yourself (of the actual parts that you are using)."

The minifigs for non-LEGO brands were terrible and incompatible! Nothing beats the lovable, quirky shape to the official minifigs. You often had to construct differently for the different dimensions of the non-LEGO figures, or toss them out.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Non-LEGO brands at the time would snap together with official LEGO pieces, but the fit was different: either too much or not enough friction.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. At the time: LEGO had the dominant brand, therefore, most of your pieces were likely to be LEGO brand, so the fewer pieces of the non-LEGO brand would be annoying for reasons 1 &amp; 2.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4.

I am interesting in understanding both sides of the argument.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I agree that this question is highly subjective, but it reminds me of several discussions that I've heard or participated in. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Many of the purists that I've spoken with have mentioned that they've enjoyed the challenge of building something with a limited palette. The restriction to only use LEGO parts challenged their creativity and forced them to work around issues without using non-LEGO parts that would make the project &quot;easier.&quot; As other posters have noted, they felt that using non-LEGO parts was &quot;cheating&quot; - a highly personal opinion. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One other factor that some purists have mentioned is that this restriction to use only LEGO parts also permits **any other** LEGO builder to replicate their project, if so desired. Some of these builders were scientists, and they liked the idea of being able to reproduce a project.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've also observed a sliding scale of purism - ranging from the use of only LEGO parts but permitting the use of glue/stickers to the use of only official LEGO parts/stickers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the other hand, my non-purist friends just want to make cool projects and don't care what parts or techniques they might use to accomplish their goals.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Again, there's no right or wrong answer, but I found that the purists enjoyed the challenge and wanted to allow others to replicate their work, while non-purists just liked the joy of building."

LEGO is reusable. It's high-quality, durable, and you expect it to last many years. You might keep a construction together for some time, but always with the potential of being disassembled and turned into something else. Modifications like painting, cutting, or gluing are no longer reversible. You only make these changes when you're sure you don't need those pieces in their original state. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Have I irreversibly modified LEGO? Yes: I've made small stickers, painted minifigs, or used a few bricks in a permanent decorative piece. Nor do I really feel I have to use *only* LEGO. I would add a paper umbrella, a cardboard backdrop, a styrofoam support—anything I was sure wouldn't harm my bricks. On the other hand, I don't think I could bear to glue or paint a whole structure. (That's what other building toys and strategies are for, like modelmaking, dollhouse furniture, or model railroad set construction.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To me, construction of something too permanent would subvert one of the reasons I love LEGO.

As a box, they are considered as only one set, which suits LEGO better as there is less overhead.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Logistically, it makes sense too. If the retailers needed to buy individual minifigs, they might not want to bother (especially if they still have to buy boxes of 60, for example), whereas buying a few boxes of random minifigs isn't usually a problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You'll find a similar example with train track: when LEGO introduced RC (plastic) track, they decided to sell straight and curved track pieces together in a box. That decision makes absolutely no sense at all, except to reduce the number of boxes in production. They managed to correct this a little by replacing the curved tracks with flex-track in recent boxes (curves aren't sold separately anymore, which is just fine); but they still have only one box of supplemental track (points nonwithstanding).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That said, this reasoning doesn't actually fully hold. The content of minifig boxes appears to be fixed (which makes sense for production purposes), so nothing prevents them from marking which minifig is in which bag, and it wouldn't make much difference for retailers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But LEGO doesn't do that. In fact, they even actively stopped doing it, [as the first two series were easily identifiable through a barcode](http://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/758). When LEGO noticed fans had discovered this, they resorted to other, more hidden methods. Which proves they **want** it to be random, and we still have to find out why.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Again, production issues can help explain this: if custoemrs can pick their minifigs, retailers left with leftovers of unwanted minifigs may not be as keen to buy more boxes of the next series.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But to be honest, I think LEGO really wanted the randomness to be there to start with, simply because they want children (their target demographic, let's not forget this) have the fun of discovering what they got, and try to get them all one way or the other."

The idea is to encourage people (mainly children but adults too) to try and 'collect' a complete set. The opaque bags encourage this by making this goal harder to reach, and therefore more of an achievement - revealing the contents would take away a lot of the fun.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The sealed bags also lead buyers to end up with 'doubles'. If you keep these, then the Lego company gets that extra revenue - whereas if you try and swap them, then that helps to spread the word about the product and gives you an incentive to encourage your friends to start collecting them too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The minifigs are also produced in un-even amounts. This makes it even harder to collect a complete set - and also means that Lego can save money by making less of the more expensive to manufacture minifigs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So - whilst you might find the random element frustrating, you can see how it makes financial sense to Lego.

It seems like the designers would have had to go to extra effort to *not* use any 1x4 bricks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I checked bricklink to see if I could get these bricks there, but at the time of writing this, there are fewer than 100 total 1x4 dark red bricks listed on Bricklink. Looking at the part info on [peeron][1], it seems that this part in this color was only used in a few sets that were produced back in 2005.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, why are there so few of this part? It seems like with large sets like 10197 making heavy use of dark red it would be worthwhile to produce this part, but it appears that TLG thinks differently.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://peeron.com/inv/parts/3010" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Keep in mind the number of elements (that is, one specific shape in one specific color) in production at a current time is limited (by the number of machines), and those are the elements that are available to designers. As you remark, the 1x4 dark red brick was last seen is sets from 2005, so we can safely say that it's not currently in the palette of elements in production.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This doesn't mean that designers may not use it, however; if that was so we'd never have new elements, or new colors, and that wouldn't make sense. But they aren't free to use it at will either. All elements in production have a production cost which is taken into account during the design phase, as a designer has a specific &quot;budget&quot; to work with. I think the costs implied here are not actual costs, but I don't know the exact details.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But new elements do have a higher cost, depending on a lot of various factors. In this specific case, there is no new mould involved, so that doesn't account for much, but the price is definitely higher than if the part was currently in production. So, most of the time, it's the designer who will try to assess if the extra cost is worth reintroducing the part. It could very well be that using 2 1x2 bricks is cheaper (again, in terms of design cost) than asking for a 1x4; more so if they already use some in the set (there is also a cost for just having a part in the set, which is why some firefighter stations have 1x2 bricks and use 1x2 bricks with groove instead - as they already had to use them for doors).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All in all, while I don't know the exact details, I know that the design process has to take the cost of parts into account, and that parts not currently in production cost more. What I don't know is, if a designer asks for a 1x4 dark red brick, whether it's automatically accepted or not, or if he has to defend the case or something, but I believe even that is mostly reflected in the part cost.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The good news is that more and more designers are either from a strong AFOL background, or at the very least are very aware of what the AFOLs want or not. That's why we see more of dark red, dark green, dark blue, or other nice colors nowadays - the designers know we like them, and they like them too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Then you can have someone hold the sheet &amp; ship slightly under water so that the ship looks like it's floating, whereas it's actually not. As long as the borders of the sheet are outside of your camera frame, you're in business.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I owe that idea to a Stargate SG-1 episode I rewatched recently, actually.

To avoid this, you'll first need to shuffle your stack a little (I only know the french word for this process: __déramer__, sorry.), but even then it can happen.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've worked with an offset printing machine when I was a student, and the thing had a tendency to pick two sheets instead of one once in a while. There was a mechanism that would discard such sheets, and the way it worked was based on the thickness of a sheet: as the sheet was conveyed on a flat surface, if it was too thick, it triggered a small kind of lever which was finely tuned to rest just above the thickness of one sheet. It was very sensible, too; if there was one sheet it wouldn't budge, but two or more would make it move, and it would activate a trap to receive the offending sheets instead of feeding them to the machine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To be honest, picking two sheets instead of one was the machine's less  problematic behavior, and we were lucky if that's the only thing it did. Which means you'll have to be careful too, so that there is no way for a sheet to be somehow eaten - possibly irrecoverably - by the mechanism.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As you ask, there are two Friends colours &quot;[Medium Azur](http://www.brickset.com/parts/browse/colours/?colour=Medium%20Azur)&quot; and &quot;[Medium Lavender](http://www.brickset.com/parts/browse/colours/?colour=Medium%20Lavender)&quot; which new for 2012 and are thus not present on the list.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The [list of colours on BrickLink](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogColors.asp) has date information which you'll certainly find useful; for example &quot;[Olive Green](http://www.brickset.com/parts/browse/colours/?colour=Olive%20Green)&quot; is of course new too (and is bound to become extremely popular), &quot;[Spring Yellowish Green](http://www.brickset.com/parts/browse/colours/?colour=Spring%20Yellowish%20Green)&quot; and &quot;[Light Glow](http://www.brickset.com/parts/browse/colours/?colour=White%20Glow)&quot; are also new; and &quot;[Aqua](http://www.brickset.com/parts/browse/colours/?colour=Aqua)&quot; (&quot;Light Aqua&quot; on BrickLink) , &quot;[Dark Azur](http://www.brickset.com/parts/browse/colours/?colour=Dark%20Azur)&quot; and &quot;[Lavender](http://www.brickset.com/parts/browse/colours/?colour=Lavender)&quot; all appear to have been introduced in 2011.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You could also try to see which colours have been phased out, but since the BrickLink list appears to be based on the year in which a set is first introduced, it's probably not too reliable. For example, the &quot;[Light Stone Grey](http://www.brickset.com/parts/browse/colours/?colour=Light%20Stone%20Grey)&quot; used in mindstorms (or &quot;Very light Bluish Grey&quot; on BrickLink) is stated as last seen in 2010, but since the NXT 2.0 kit is still sold, it's possible it's still produced. So trying to know whether a colour is out or not is at this stage a guess, although I would at least venture to guess that &quot;[Phosph.Green](http://www.brickset.com/parts/browse/colours/?colour=Phosph.Green)&quot; is out - since there's a new &quot;glow in the dark&quot; effect. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr/&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for availability to designers, I don't see why some colours would be limited to specific themes, even though of course specific themes are designed around specific main colours.

That doesn't mean it's impossible, but it'll prove challenging. In any case, you'll definitely need some computing, so it's good that it's OK with you.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For trains themselves, sticking to available parts will be an issue. PF trains are supposed to be remote controlled via RC and have no awareness of the track of or anything at all. The problem you'll have here si to make sure that whatever signal you send, the train will receive it. Some your RC emitters need to be very well placed, and the bigger your layout, the more this is going to be a problem. Forget about tunnels. And your number of trains is limited, too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You'll probably need to use a Mindstorms Kit and an [IR Link Sensor](http://www.hitechnic.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&amp;key=NIL1046); the NXT itself can be programmed directly or easily controlled by a computer.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Since you'll be using Mindstorms, sensing trains shouldn't be too much of a problem, either with available sensors (not sure which one would be best though) or by making your own (a reed sensor on the track usually detects LEGO train magnets if there are 2 or more of them together); but you'll be limited by the number of sensors you can plug on a NXT. You can of course use several, or grab some [sensor multiplexers](http://www.hitechnic.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&amp;key=NSX2020). When using Reed sensors, you'll probably hav enough with [touch sensor multiplexers](http://www.hitechnic.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&amp;key=NSX2020).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So far, you see using only standard material (and admitting HiTechnics or other third-party vendors as such) is already becoming a complex solution - feasible, certainly, but not cheap either. And we haven't touched switches yet - not that it's complicated to motorize, but if using NXT motors, it's going to take some place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the past, [some people](http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=71749) have had some success [transforming 9V trains for DCC](http://www.lgauge.com/trains/dcc/dcc.htm), but I wouldn't consider 9V trains as available any more, and this solution does also require a lot of work and good understanding of DCC and whatnot. I have none of this, so I won't talk much more about it, except to say that this usually doesn't address the problem of switches either, and that you'll need a lot of non-LEGO stuff to make it all work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In short, I think you can do a lot of fun automation even with current trains, but if you want a complete solution right from the start, LEGO may not be the best suited for that. On the other hand, the challenge of making it work may be a greater experience for you and your son, so I'd advise trying anyway. You can start with simple things, keeping the most complicated things (switches) for later.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One other thing you can do to simplify is make sure that the layout itself is simple. For instance, you can have a single track with a train going back and forth (mimicking the [good old 4,5V system](http://www.peeron.com/scans/7720-1/11) shouldn't be hard with a PF [Polarity Switch](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?set=8869-1), and that by itself adds a lot of movement to an existing layout, without actually requiring any automation at all.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This may seem very obvious, but they feel it needs to be repeated anyway.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What this means is that they want every single customer with any quality problem to actually report it. Apart from the fact that they always help customers directly, they record all of it and the number of times a problem is reported is also a good indicator for LEGO that the problem is serious and needs to be addressed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A simple example: instruction books and sticker sheets regularly ended up bent or damaged. Through the number of complaints this generated, LEGO has learnt about the problem and how seriously it was perceived by its customers. As a result, instructions and sticker sheets are now packaged (manually, I might add, which has an extra cost) in a sleeve with a cardboard to protect them, at least in bigger sets (again, because of the cost).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, in a nutshell, that's the most important thing LEGO does about all quality problem: they listen.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have no way of knowing myself if that particular problem of ball joints in Hero Factory figures is very widespread or well known, but the more people report it to LEGO, the bigger the chance it's going to be solved. And in the meantime, everyone who contacts them will get replacements anyway.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I would advise you to just follow that route: each time you get a broken part, go to the [LEGO customer service Replacement Parts](https://service.lego.com/en-us/replacementparts/#BasicInfo) page, select &quot;a piece broke while building&quot;, type in the set number and select the part which broke. You'll even get a chance to enter in detail what happened. So you'll get a replacement, which solves your immediate problem, but in the background LEGO might learn that this particular part is too fragile if a lot of customers report the problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One last thing which needs to be said is that even if LEGO is aware of a problem, or addressing it, or maybe already solved it, it may take time for the solution to reach the public. A new, enhanced version of a part might not appear in sets before the stock of the other version has been used, for example (unless the older version is so bad that LEGO will recycle the stock entirely, of course, but that probably doesn't happen too often).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note: I apologize if this answer is very generic in nature and doesn't address the ball joints specifically (thus no answers on the &quot;are there way to prevent this&quot; part, although I guess a little bit of soap might help), but I feel it's very important to understand how LEGO deals with quality problems in general.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

And that its facial features should be happy and neutral . The figure would have no sex, race or role – these would be determined by the child’s imagination and play.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It then explains when and why they added colour for their licensed figures&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; With licensed products such as LEGO® Star Wars™ and LEGO® Harry Potter™ the figure began appearing in specific roles, and with LEGO Basketball in 2003 it took on authentic skin colours. In 2004 the LEGO minifigure assumed an even wider range of skin colours when it was decided that the figures in licensed products should resemble the original characters as closely as possible. One result was that the figures in LEGO Harry Potter™ changed from yellow to a more authentic skin colour.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first ones I remember seeing were indeed some of the NBA League characters as part of the Basketball theme in 2003, followed by the Star Wars products and then the Harry Potter sets in 2004.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lando Calrissian was one of the first to appear in the correct skin tone, amongst yellow Han and Leia:&#xD;&#xA;![Bespin Cloud City Box Art][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Followed later by pink characters for the rest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since then, the collectable Minifigures have occasionally featured non-yellow heads for some of their more &quot;monstrous&quot; figures, such as the Witch, Zombie and genie.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/YuF51.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]:http://cache.lego.com/r/aboutus/-/media/About%20Us/Media%20Assets%20Library/Company%20Profiles/ts.20120420T123711.Company_profile_uk.pdf" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I have successfully run Mindstorms using a MacBook with Snow Leopard plus the Cambridge Silicon Bluetooth chips.  Plus, the flash player is version 11.1.102.55.  I created a simple program and downloaded it to the NXT brick using bluetooth.  I shut down the NXT and Mac several times downloading new programs to the NXT brick using bluetooth.  Each time you restart the brick or the NXT program, you must pair bluetooth via the NXT window button in the controller of the NXT program.  Once set up it will run as long as you maintain the link and keep the NXT program and NXT brick on.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2.  I made an external Snow Leopard Boot disk to run off my MacBook Pro with the Broadcom Bluetooth chips.  I updated it with current Apple updates through the internet to make sure it is current.  I loaded the Adobe Flash player version 11.1.102.55 to be consistent with the MacBook setup.  (There has been some indication that the current Flash version creates problems so I took that out of the mix...I will explore this later).  I added the Mindstorms NXT 2 program.  I connected with the NXT brick via bluetooth; created a program and downloaded it successfully.  Net, it appears to work!!!!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I now believe that the issues with Mountain Lion are related to 64 bit versus 32 bit on Snow Leopard.  My understanding is that NXT 2 is a 32 bit program.  Plus, you will notice that Mindstorms NXT 2 runs better in Rosetta mode which Mountain Lion does not support (Notice the watch comes up when you double click to start the NXT program...it means Rosetta).  Net, it appears to work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For your information:  Full Snow Leopard installation and NXT takes up 15.74 GB.  I added iWorks 9 so I would have a word processor, spreadsheet and presentation capability which would drive it to 16.7 GB.  Thus, you could easily fit the whole works on a 32 GB thumb drive and have about 15 GB of space for data.  This would make the whole arrangement very compact for travel with a MacBook Pro. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Anyway, I got it to work to my satisfaction and I am off to learn how to make robots!!**" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

However, when the infographic was produced, 42 may not have been the correct number, as the Wikipedia article referenced by the infographic (which almost certainly contained a list of 42 games at the time) is *incomplete*. For example, it misses out:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [LEGO Technic Cybermaster][3]&#xD;&#xA; - [Rocket Racers][4], that was exclusive to Legoland, Windsor (now removed).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;During my research, I did discover something that really surprised me. According to the infographic, **a police man was the first minifig, released in 1978**. Now, in 1978 several sets were released which included minifigures for the first time, and amongst these was a policeman. This let me to believe that the policeman was just *one* of the first, rather than specifically *the* first. However, in 2003 TLG published an article entitled &quot;LEGO minifigure turns 25&quot;. Now, although this article is no longer available at the LEGO website, it *is* available at [web.archive.org][5], and one of the images on this article was captioned, &quot;Here is the first LEGO minifigure from 1978... &quot;. Unfortunately, the actual image is missing from the archive... but the image is still present [on the LEGO web site][6] - a policeman from the 1978 [set number 600][7]. So, according to TLG, the first LEGO minifig was, indeed, the a policeman! I'm still not sure what this actually means: was he the first designed, moulded, prototyped or... what?

Some have a recessed stud instead:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Minifig head with receeed stud][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**1989 Eyelashes... added**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is true that variety was introduced to minifig's faces was added in 1989, specifically in the pirate sets. However, none of these figs appears to have anything that resembles eyelashes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**122 Million minifigs are sold per year**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This may have been accurate when the infographic was produced. However, [according to TLG][2], 340 million minifigs were planned for production in 2012. It seems likely that the number of figs sold should approximate the number manufactured, which suggests that considerably more than 122 million are now sold annually.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**There have been 42 video game(s) based on LEGO sets**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, this has been true *at some point*, since there are now more than 42 video games based on LEGO sets. However, when the infographic was produced, 42 may not have been the correct number, as the Wikipedia article referenced by the infographic (which almost certainly contained a list of 42 games at the time) is *incomplete*. For example, it misses out:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [LEGO Technic Cybermaster][3]&#xD;&#xA; - [Rocket Racers][4], that was exclusive to Legoland, Windsor (now removed).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;During my research, I did discover something that really surprised me. According to the infographic, **a police man was the first minifig, released in 1978**. Now, in 1978 several sets were released which included minifigures for the first time, and amongst these was a policeman. This let me to believe that the policeman was just *one* of the first, rather than specifically *the* first. However, in 2003 TLG published an article entitled &quot;LEGO minifigure turns 25&quot;. Now, although this article is no longer available at the LEGO website, it *is* available at [web.archive.org][5], and one of the images on this article was captioned, &quot;Here is the first LEGO minifigure from 1978... &quot;. Unfortunately, the actual image is missing from the archive... but the image is still present [on the LEGO web site][6] - a policeman from the 1978 [set number 600][7]. So, according to TLG, the first LEGO minifig was, indeed, the policeman! I'm still not sure what this actually means: was he the first designed, moulded, prototyped or... what? Whatever it means, it turns out that the information in the infographic is well sourced.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/4aQ2F.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://cache.lego.com/r/aboutus/-/media/About%20Us/Company%20Profile/ts.20120420T123711.Company_profile_uk.pdf&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.mobygames.com/game/lego-technic-cybermaster&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.cllw.co.uk/attractions/beginning/rocketracers.php&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://web.archive.org/web/20040419115419/http://www.lego.com/eng/info/default.asp?page=pressdetail&amp;contentid=2490&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://web.archive.org/web/20070318004900/http://assets.lego.com/upload/contentTemplating/LEGOAboutUs-PressReleases/images/2057/pic785FD07C-7430-42AB-AF61-59BA7C0136FA.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=600-2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Here at The LEGO Group we hold ourselves to an extremely high quality standard. The fact that your elements have broken is something that we take really seriously.&#xD;&#xA;We would be more than happy to send you replacements for these pieces right away. If you would be so kind as to provide us with a little bit more information on the parts, we will be sure to help you out.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After a little research, I let them know the parts were from either Stormer (7169) or Breez (7165) depending on the color, that the other limb ends from those sets were separating in a similar fashion, and asked whether they had noticed similar faults with these types of pieces historically (morbid curiosity). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/vcpl6.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

We then made a list from 1 to 16 and named each number with its respective figurine and weighed each to get the following and adding the weight of the insert plus the package for a total package weight of:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lego Minifigures Series 9				&#xD;&#xA;Number,	Figure Name, Figure Weight in grams,  Figure + P&amp;I weight for total weight&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-1	Waiter			         0.0&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-2	Cyclops			         0.0&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-3	Starlett			         0.0&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-4	Knight	         6.8		11.7&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-5	Cesar	         5.3		10.2&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-6	Cop	         5.4		10.3&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-7	Chicken			          0.0&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-8	Skater			          0.0&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-9	Cleo	         7.0		11.9&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-10	Judge	         5.9		10.8&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-11	Alien	         7.3		12.2&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-12	Mermaid  	7.6		12.5&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-13	Spaceman  	6.2		11.1&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-14	Jekle/Hide	5.4		10.3&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-15	She Shield	7.5		12.4&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-16	Plumber	                   	 0.0&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;	Insert	2.9g	       Total wt. 28.8333g&#xD;&#xA;	Package	2.0g	       Total wt. 19.8333g&#xD;&#xA;	P&amp;I	4.9 grams (this will be added to each individual figurine weight)		&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Note that the missing weights are the figurines we still lack. We got 3 repeats and their weight varied by less than 0.01 gram. So, what we did next was to go on our hunt and stealthly enter the toy stores, break out the digital scale, zero it out and weigh the package. We made the list from heaviest to lightest and what we are going to do is to purchase just those weights that we do not have. Following is said list:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Number,	Figure Name,	Weight in grams,	Figure + P&amp;I weight for total weight,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;12.	Mermaid	7.6		12.5&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;15.

Plumber	missing		0.0&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As we find the new weights I'll try to repost and upgrade the new information. If someone has the figures we don't have and could post just their figure weight, we would greatly appreciate it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lastly, the insert weights were right on the money and exact to each other, but the packages did vary above and below the average by around 0.15 grams. What would have been more scientifically significanly would have been if we had weighed each bag that came with each unique figure, but we were so much in a hurry to battle that we lost focus. I think the varience in the package bag weight has to do with sloppy manufacturing than stratigic engineering to confuse us.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;@3F's" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Text="My son has a slowly growing collection of Hero Factory figures, and they have accumulated a consistent problem: socket connector cracking.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The tips of the angular part of the limb which connects to a socket tend to split, causing loose limbs, then eventually a separation of the tip, which causes the limb to fail connection with the socket.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Image of broken LEGO parts][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is through non-daily, low use.  Are there ways to prevent this?  What is LEGO doing to address this?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've started to notice LEGO (and even Megablocks) using similar ball socket connections on non-Hero Factory  toys, and expect this sort of failure to be common.  I've not seen breakage of this kind through my multiple decades using LEGO.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**FOLLOWUP**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From LEGO: *I am so sorry to hear (and actually see!) about the broken LEGO elements that you have. Here at The LEGO Group we hold ourselves to an extremely high quality standard. The fact that your elements have broken is something that we take really seriously.&#xD;&#xA;We would be more than happy to send you replacements for these pieces right away. If you would be so kind as to provide us with a little bit more information on the parts, we will be sure to help you out.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After a little research, I let them know the parts were from either Stormer (7169) or Breez (7165) depending on the color, that the other limb ends from those sets were separating in a similar fashion, and asked whether they had noticed similar faults with these types of pieces historically (morbid curiosity). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From LEGO: *Thanks for getting back to use with the sets that you have broken pieces from. I am so sorry to hear that these parts have broken. That is unfortunate. I was able to pull up the image of the parts that you sent with your original email and was able to see the exact pieces that you need. Sadly, these parts have been discontinued and we are unable to replace those parts for you. I do apologize for this. I wish there was some kind of replacement to send, but sadly, there is nothing as a substitute for those parts.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Again, we wish we could help you restore your LEGO set back to new but unfortunately the pieces you need are no longer available through us. There is hope though, Peeron.com is website run by a group of LEGO fans that contains information on LEGO sets, replacement parts, building instructions and more.

If LEGO wanted to produce it in another colour, they have two options:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- make one more mould of the part (these things aren't cheap) and devote one moulding machine to it;&#xD;&#xA;- stop producing it in that colour altogether, clean the mould, and start a new batch.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The second solution wouldn't cost much, but they need to be sure they won't need it in the current colour any longer.

Out of the box, you are not only given a full train set and track; but the controller also allows you to independently operate up to 8 functions i.e. trains / lights etc. This IS possible with model railroading but it certainly isn't as straightforward or even if it is, if you have young children (like me) the marriage of ease of operations with child-proof playability makes this something you may want to consider."

However, I know that sometimes TLG uses large pieces to lower costs and/or build complexity. Some examples:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [54092cx1][1] - Plane nose&#xD;&#xA;* [30295][2] - Large car base&#xD;&#xA;* [6082][3] - BURP&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It seems to me that some part choices are quite strange. For example, [7346 - Seaside House][4] contains 2 1x2x2 bricks and 28 regular 1x2 bricks in medium blue. It doesn't seem like the double height bricks provide a much simpler or more sturdy build, and the part is less reusable. I would have rather seen 1x2 bricks used throughout, especially since this is a Creator set, which focuses on being rebuildable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I also found it strange that they chose to use 1x2x2 bricks in two places, but kept 1x1 bricks stacked 5+ high in others. It seems that if the goal is to create a sturdier model, replacing these stacks with 1x1x5 bricks would have been a good place to start.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, I guess my question is: what goes in to the decision of which specific parts to use in a production Lego model?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/54092cx1&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/30295&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/6082&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://brickset.com/detail/?set=7346-1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If the small side is attached to a beam, the cross at the end of the long side will be perfectly aligned on a beam that would be 4 studs higher.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;LEGO uses that to connect beams 4 studs apart in a very solid way, for example in [8435 - 4WD](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?set=8435-1) (the blue beam behind the front wheel) or in the more recent [8053 - Mobile Crane](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=8053-1) (left of the linear actuator)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And for the record, the angle in degrees is weirder that just 53.5°; it's actually 53.130102...°, or the invert cosine of 3/5.

This means that every time you need to change the orientation of things, you'll have to think about how you're going to do it, and use plates and whatnot between beams. It's perfectly possible, but don't be surprised if most of the beams in older Technic models are studs up.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With studless beams, none of that. Orientation of the beams doesn't matter much anymore since they'll fit nicely on a cubic grid. This allows for greater flexibility and, indeed, more realistic models. (Some people also like smooth surfaces better.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, the studded beams had some design issues. The obvious one is the offset between the Technic holes and the studs, which isn't exactly a problem but can still be a nuisance at times. The less obvious one is that the Technic hole in beams is actually slightly too high, meaning it doesn't interact well with the rest of the system. See also [this answer](http://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/519/99) and the linked pdf inside for more information on illegal builds. These two design &quot;flaws&quot; didn't matter much when the beams were first created, but nowadays LEGO perceives this sort of incompatibility much more seriously. They still produce studded beams, but I wouldn't venture a guess on how long that will last.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;br /&gt;One side effect of the transition is that most studless Technic constructions have odd dimensions, because the studless beams themselves have odd dimensions (presumably, because the number of holes on studded beams were also odd due to the offset). As a consequence, the whole Technic system is undergoing a complete overhaul.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At first, more odd axles have been introduced (most notably 7 and 9), then the universal join was shortened from [4](http://www.brickset.com/parts/search/?query=9244) to [3](http://www.brickset.com/parts/search/?query=61903) (the old one was last seen in 2008, so it's probably gone for good), and more recently the [differential](http://www.brickset.com/parts/search/?query=6573) has also been [remade](http://www.brickset.com/parts/search/?query=62821) (there's still one in the 2011 Unimog, but I don't know if they'll actually discontinue it considering it has a function the new one doesn't have.). I don't see any other part left that needs to be updated from even to odd, but considering how often they use a [#2 connector](http://www.brickset.com/parts/search/?query=32034) just to connect axles, I wouldn't be surprised if they made a 3L version of the [axle connector](http://www.brickset.com/parts/search/?query=59443) at some point &#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

According to [Leggodt.nl][1], the molding pip was moved from the side to the top of a stud beginning about 1974, but as Kramii points out there is no hard cutoff date, as LEGO used molds until they were worn out and included existing stock in sets until it was depleted. So you may find mixed types of bricks in sets between 1974 and 1979. By about 1980, the side-pip bricks were gone. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. The element numbers were printed on the bricks subsequent to the &quot;patent pending&quot; period, which was when many bricks had either &quot;pat. pend.&quot; molded underneath, or places where those words had been obscured. Obscured &quot;pat. pend.&quot; bricks appeared in sets as late as 1978, which is also when the LEGO logo on the top studs was changed (according to Gary Istok's LEGO guide). I believe this is when the element numbers *started* to be molded on the underside of the pieces, but again there would be a transition period. By 1980 in the US, all modern pieces were in use.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. The hollow-stud minifig head appeared in 1992 and was a change based on product safety requirements (to prevent choking.) According to [an article at Gizmodo][2], LEGO decided to re-introduce the solid-stud heads after reviewing changes in safety laws. According to [Peeron.com][3] 1992 was the last year the solid-stud heads were included in sets and they began appearing again in 2006.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.leggodt.nl/items/lego/date-patpend.php&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://gizmodo.com/5019797/everything-you-always-wanted-to-know-about-lego&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://peeron.com/inv/parts/3626a" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

So when you perceive bricks as being softer, it could actually be that they aren't, but that your perception changed. (If you were to walk barefoot on LEGO bricks for one hour per day, your feet would eventually harden enough that you wouldn't feel it anymore.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, some may actually hold true, especially for weapons. Swords that are produced nowadays are indeed not as hard as they were back then, and that is simply for safety reasons, as safety controls put in place become harder with times. In extreme cases, they'll even use rubber, for example for the tip of the [big spike](http://www.brickset.com/parts/search/?query=61406) introduced with exo-force. Another more subtle example is the [circular saw blade](http://www.brickset.com/parts/?part=6001449): ever thought how dumb it was that they didn't use a cross axle hole in that? Wonder no more: it's just so that kids wouldn't put it on a motor (I know I would have as a kid).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for the perceived quality changes, well, it's a bit of the same, there's a lot of it which is just that, perception; but there are of course real quality issues that pop up from time to time, which LEGO usually assesses the best they can. One key factor here is that there's a huge stock in their factories, so any changes they make can take a while before they appear in released sets. For example, they have switched at some point from buying precolored plastic granulate to adding the color themselves to white granulate, but at some point they didn't add enough color, resulting in translucent and more fragile bricks. They fixed that, but a lot of the already produced bricks made it into sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, LEGO can only learn about quality issue when customers actually complain about them, so when facing a real quality issue, it's always best to contact the customer service and explain the problem. Not only will they usually be able to provide replacements for you, but this will eventually reach the production quality assurance." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

My ambition was to have two stations, each with some switches, and run one train at a time between them and switch it to an empty track where it would stop.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since I already had two RCXs, my solution was to place one at either station with light sensors to detect incoming and outgoing trains. I motorized the switches (using a modified version of instructions I found online - I could make some instructions if you wish), and wrote a program that allows the RCXs to communicate with each other about the state of the trains and the switches.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There were two tricky parts: one is that although you can send PF commands from an RCX, there is no feedback from the PF receiver so you'll have to resend the command several times and hope for the best. The other is that the communication between the RCXs is affected by the PF commands. When you send a PF command, the receiver in the RCX will end up in a state where the next serial byte is lost, and although there is collision detection for the communication between the RCXs, there is nothing similar for the PF commands (the sending of which requires the disabling of all interrupts on the RCX).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My solution was to design a protocol for communication between the two RCXs such that they, in effect, negotiate whose turn it is to send PF commands and stay silent when the other RCX is sending. This worked very well in my living room, where the trains would happily run and stop and be handed back and forth between the two RCXs (since you can't easily ID the trains, you have to *know* where they are). I then tried to set this up at an event, but unfortunately the room was anything but compatible with PF. Possibly because of the fluorescent lights, the PF IR range was severely limited and the trains would not receive the signals from the RCXs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A solution based on NXT (or EV3) could probably be a lot more powerful and reliable, especially since you'll have much better ways of detecting the trains. Even so, I suspect they'd run into the same problems in some showrooms as my RCX solution.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Upon closer inspection, the loose connections were those where the &quot;dust marks&quot; lined up perfectly-- IE, those particular elements were assembled in that particular configuration for a long time.  Rotating those same elements' connection points resulted in normal clutch power, but using the same orientation was looser.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Granted, there are other concerns which may have affected this particular example, such as humidity, UV exposure, ambient temperature, etc. I expect that fluctuations in these other conditions will likely expedite the degradation of clutch in assembled elements."

Just the clearances between connections is important. Sariel sums it up in his [book][1] well. He says there are advantages to both systems (stud-full, for example, are more rigid) but the fact that the stud-less look more realistic and, of course, the clearances, make a huge difference. I think the change was NECESSARY to build more realistic models (realistic looking, arguably, but the new models are very mechanically clever in ways that would be impossible with the stud-full parts).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;According to Jamie Berard, these advantages were a major part of the gradual migration, as was a flaw in the studded beam design-- the holes in studded technic bricks are placed slightly incorrectly according to the LEGO &quot;System&quot;.

An exception to this is the 2012 wave of Hero Factory figures, which uses the same style of head piece as the 2010 wave and has the weaker socket (although none of mine have broken yet).

Another thing is the use of generic plastic sheets for some large windows, for which no LEGO elements exist.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then, as Kramii said, electrical and mechanical components are never LEGO. For the vehicles, they do have a generic frame (metallic, with motor, battery, and all control electronic) on top of which they build a LEGO exterior.

Well, the MEK we got from Lowes today TOTALLY fixed it.  In less than 3 minutes a part was VERY secure and won't come apart.  You have to work fast as it is immediately affecting the plastic.  Honestly, at less than a minute it won't come apart, and if you don't seat them securely, they will fuse out of place, so be careful.  It didn't take more than a VERY light glaze with a paintbrush.

One of the most basic property rights involves the right to transfer ownership as long as both parties agree on the terms. Even selling items under copyright (instructions, box art, games, etc) is legal under the [first-sale doctrine](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-sale_doctrine).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't see any reason that any of the 3 things that you listed would be illegal. Here's a similar example which hopefully makes things more clear.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Let's say that someone builds computers and sells them. No one builds a computer from scratch, so the builder has to buy lots of components (CPU, GPU, RAM, hard drive, etc). Although each one of these components is likely covered by hundreds of patents, that doesn't actually matter because the builder bought the right to resell the parts. As someone selling MOCs, you have to buy LEGO bricks to resell. This is a valid use of your property rights.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To address your issues specifically:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Selling a MOC you build - This is legal because you are simply selling your own physical property (the used bricks) and your intellectual property (your MOC)&#xD;&#xA;2. Selling the parts one would need for the MOC (+ instructions and part-list) - Again, you have the right to sell the parts.

One of the most basic property rights involves the right to transfer ownership as long as both parties agree on the terms. Even selling items under copyright (instructions, box art, games, etc) is legal under the [first-sale doctrine](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-sale_doctrine).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't see any reason that any of the 3 things that you listed would be illegal. Here's a similar example which hopefully makes things more clear.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Let's say that someone builds computers and sells them. No one builds a computer from scratch, so the builder has to buy lots of components (CPU, GPU, RAM, hard drive, etc). Although each one of these components is likely covered by hundreds of patents, that doesn't actually matter because the builder bought the right to resell the parts. As someone selling MOCs, you have to buy LEGO bricks to resell. This is a valid use of your property rights.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To address your issues specifically:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Selling a MOC you build - This is legal because you are simply selling your own physical property (the used bricks) and your intellectual property (your MOC)&#xD;&#xA;2. Selling the parts one would need for the MOC (+ instructions and part-list) - Again, you have the right to sell the parts. The instructions and part list are your intellectual property, but there may be issues with trademark (e.g. you can't brand it as a TLG authorized set)&#xD;&#xA;3. Packing the parts and instructions into a self-designed box and selling them - This is essentially the same as 2 except with additional intellectual property of your own (box art, etc). Again, it needs to be clear that this isn't an official LEGO set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In regards to the branding and trademark issues, TLG has a [document](http://aboutus.lego.com/en-us/legal-notice/fair-play/) available which provides a useful set of guidelines to use when referring to LEGO.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To be clear, I'm not a lawyer, and if you're planning to start a business selling packaged LEGO MOCs, you might want to consult a real lawyer first."

After the supply of them ran out, a new design was adopted with the &quot;tapered&quot; bottom and made from ABS plastic. (Chapter 51, p. 3)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The reason for the change may have had something to do with the fact that the old full-bottom bricks did not grip very well. Also, the tapered-bottom bricks not only fit over a regular stud but fit in between top studs, making them more versatile than the older style.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The hole in the stud appeared about 1977 and was in response to product-safety regulations. Other cylindrical pieces like minifig heads were also given stud holes. This was because it was thought cylindrical pieces were more likely to completely plug a nostril or throat.

As such, they'll want to take legal action as soon as possible when one of their trademarks/copyrights is infringed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The second one is actually also about intellectual property, although not their own. Indeed, while LEGO is usually considered as the leader in the field of interlocking bricks, it can indeed happen that a competitor creates something new, which LEGO might not have considered. That would be where you would suggest that LEGO should &quot;keep up&quot;, but in reality most of the time it's exactly the contrary: since they may not infringe on the competitor's own intellectual property, they won't be able to imitate them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So saying that design decisions [can be made independently of what other manufacturers are doing](http://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/1995/99) is, in my own opinion, utterly false. I can't imagine a field of business where you can completely ignore what your competitors are doing, just because you believe you're ahead of them, and if you do, you're either very cocky, or very naive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note I'm talking about serious competitors like MegaBloks, not the one who just copy badly everything LEGO makes. MegaBloks, for example, does have interesting parts (for example, plates with studs on both sides, [_Plate 1 x 2 connector, male:male_ and _Plate 2 x 2 connector, male:male_](http://bloks.hyperboards.com/action/view_topic/topic_id/6437)). These parts are interesting and many LEGO builders would like to have them, but it's unlikely LEGO would be willing to produce them now that MegaBloks has. Of course, I'm no lawyer and I understand copyright law may be much more intricate than that (theer are parts which both companies produce, for example), but I'm confident this is a valid concern in the deisgn process.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Which I fully agree on: the first sort you should make is by part type anyway, and only afterward, if you have too much of a part, you may want to split the heap by colors - but not necessarily all colors, since your goal there is just to split a big heap to keep it manageable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So how do you decide which colors to put together? Again, you hinted at it yourself: colors that are too similar are best separated. So you'll for example have a container with black, yellow and red parts (guess which country I'm from ;-)), and another with dark blue, orange and white.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another possible option is if there is one color which is predominant: if I have, for example, 1000 1x2 blue bricks, while I have only 500 of 1x2 bricks of all other colors combined, then maybe setting the blue apart make sense. And even then, the best is probably to set 900-950 aside, even in a ziploc bag, and put the remainder with the other colors. The ziplog bag will probably stay unopened until I get a project which requires a massive amount of 1x2 blue bricks. (Actually, it's a real example, I did exactly that, and ended up using the blues for [a smooth river](http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=4692706))&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So what does this leave you with the old/new color issue? Simple: you make two containers, labeled &quot;old&quot; (with Light Grey, Dark Grey, and Brown) and &quot;new&quot; (Light Bluish Grey, Dark Bluish Grey, Reddish Brown). That way, you have no problem knowing if it's old or new, and mixing these three colors shouldn't be a problem." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Gear reduction is one (keeping in mind it has implications on torque, but frankly I'm already way over my head here so I won't tackle that aspect); but torque transmission is another, and so is strength/reliability.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For example, the [knob wheel](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=32072) that you did mention has some uses, as it practically can't slip, but at the cost of lower torque transmitted (or something). Worm screws again have another particularity which is unique to them in that they can transfer torque only one way, which also has its uses (locking a mechanism in place).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And then don't forget that the gears aren't all there is to say: sticking your gears closer to the beams will help, as will replacing the two separate beams by an [actual frame](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=40345). You can also make sure one of the axles goes all the way to the other side of the frame.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And last thing, if you're going to transfer power to two wheels, don't forget to use a [differential](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=6573) between them (not sure the [new one](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=62821) is very solid though."

As you pointed out, unique figs are also a necessary part of the licensed themes. What would Star Wars be without Darth Vader?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The core of your questions seems to be why these unique figs end up in so many sets such that you have duplicates and triplicates of them. I'm sure this isn't TLG's goal, but there are some marketing reasons for doing this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;First, TLG ideally wants each set to be a [whole product][2]. This generally means that the sets should be able to stand on their own, and upon seeing a set, a customer would actually want to buy it. Keep in mind that your rationality as a parent isn't always the same as others who may be buying Lego for your child, or children themselves. Here's an example of set to help me explain what I mean:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Gandalf Arrives][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That's [Gandalf Arrives (set 9469)][4]. As you can see, it is a pretty small set with Gandalf and Frodo. These are both core characters, and they each appear in several sets, but this set wouldn't be able to stand on its own without them. While this set may have less appeal to you or your child because you might already have these minifigs, the set has greater appeal to children who don't already have these minifigs. It also has greater appeal to your sister-in-law who needs to pick up a Lego set for your child's birthday party. She won't know what minifigs your child has already, and she's just looking for a nice reasonably cheap set with good playability.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Second, TLG uses unique minifigs to create desire to collect the whole product line. While there is duplication among the major characters, if you want to have all of the minor characters available, you pretty much have to buy every major set in the theme. This makes a lot of sense from a marketing point of view. For example, if you already own [Helm's Deep (9474)][5], does a small add-on really have much appeal to you? [Uruk-Hai Army (9471)][6] is a small set which attaches to the side of Helm's Deep:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Uruk-Hai Army][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This set may not have much appeal. It's just a basic castle wall with some men fighting some bad guys. However, this is the only set which contains the guy ([Eomer][8]) who brings in the cavalry and ultimately makes the battle a victorious one. This adds to this otherwise somewhat boring set, and makes it more appealing to consumers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/a6dmX.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_product&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/7EzX3.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://brickset.com/detail/?set=9469-1&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://brickset.com/detail/?set=9474-1&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://brickset.com/detail/?set=9471-1&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/0Fu4X.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/%C3%89omer" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As you can see, it is a pretty small set with Gandalf and Frodo. These are both core characters, and they each appear in several sets, but this set wouldn't be able to stand on its own without them. While this set may have less appeal to you or your child because you might already have these minifigs, the set has greater appeal to children who don't already have these minifigs. It also has greater appeal to your sister-in-law who needs to pick up a Lego set for your child's birthday party. She won't know what minifigs your child has already, and she's just looking for a nice reasonably cheap set with good playability.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Second, TLG uses unique minifigs to create desire to collect the whole product line. While there is duplication among the major characters, if you want to have all of the minor characters available, you pretty much have to buy every major set in the theme. This makes a lot of sense from a marketing point of view. For example, if you already own [Helm's Deep (9474)][5], does a small add-on really have much appeal to you? [Uruk-Hai Army (9471)][6] is a small set which attaches to the side of Helm's Deep:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Uruk-Hai Army][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This set may not have much appeal. It's just a basic castle wall with some men fighting some bad guys. However, this is the only set which contains the guy ([Eomer][8]) who brings in the cavalry and ultimately makes the battle a victorious one. This adds to this otherwise somewhat boring set, and makes it more appealing to consumers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As an aside, many Lego fans want to get a complete set of minifigs, but can't afford all the sets, so your extra Vader's have good resale value on sites like [Bricklink][9] where they sell for about [$10 used][10].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/a6dmX.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_product&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/7EzX3.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://brickset.com/detail/?set=9469-1&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://brickset.com/detail/?set=9474-1&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://brickset.com/detail/?set=9471-1&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/0Fu4X.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/%C3%89omer&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: http://bricklink.com&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?M=sw004" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Every distinct *element* (part/colour combination) has to be stored until it's no longer going to be used in production; presumably some are stored for spare parts and other ancillary uses.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![freaking tall stack of boxes of LEGO, yet still finite. Totally ripped from the Daily Mail][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The robotic warehouse has only a certain number of slots (a mere [0.5 million][2]), so there's only so many different combinations that can be held at any one time. To make space for a new element, another needs to be retired - and retired plastic is wasted plastic.  And waste costs money, and businesses hate that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Forbes has an image that shows the height - 20m - pretty well, but now you have no idea how long the bay is.

The economic implication is that if the value of the non-unique elements in a set is $10 and the set sells for $12, it doesn't mean the set is overpriced; instead, it implies the unique element has a inherent value of $2. Harmony is restored to the LEGO secondary market. This business logic can be used to explain why licensed sets are often much worse value per brick than non-licensed - each unique minifig adds over-the-odds value.  Perhaps this stretches credulity too far? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The best argument for having one unique element per set is: *without a unique element, it's conceivable that someone could build this LEGO set with **pieces they already own!*** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![The boxes in those previous pictures are not small. This one's being filled with purple 1x4 curved slopes][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Few of the molds LEGO uses are running 24/7.  Swapping out molds takes about three hours, during which the molding machine (one of 64) is inactive and you have expensive European labour fussing over a machine.  Swapping colours, on the other hand, isn't such a big deal.  Stop the plastic flow, empty the mold and remove the capture box, flow the new colour for  a while until the old colour's properly flushed, then start capturing this new colour (toss all the parts molded in two colours at once into the recycling bin).  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm hoping it's obvious why you've got to store different colours of the same part separately. I'm also hoping you can remember that LEGO makes quite a few copies of each set it sells, so that box of purple 1x4 curved slopes you see above isn't actually all that many from TLG's point of view.  They have to mold every part for a given set they're going to sell, then store them all prior to assembling them in a batch. The vast bulk of LEGO is sold around Christmas, and they don't warehouse a vast amount of the completed sets (you've seen how much air is in a box of LEGO), just enough to keep the channels flowing.  Basically, they've got to be able to store a good portion of the whole year's production, because they can - and do - assemble bricks into sets faster than they can be molded.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As an aside, this is why LUGBulk runs early in the year, when they know what they've got too much of lying around and are comfortable that there aren't going to be any production shocks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![In 2012 LEGO Friends was so popular it broke LEGO distribution quite badly][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Production planning is done well in advance. If a particular set turns out to be gangbuster-crazy popular and requires additional production (a recent example: Friends), LEGO can dip into its reserve of parts but the more unique a set (or even line) is, the less likely you are to have those parts in reserve.  This is, in fact, an argument against having unique parts - but there's only so many models you can put a bright reddish violet slide into. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for getting the same slide in other colours... really? You want it in Pearl light gray? In reddish brown?  In tan?  Remember that LEGO is sold as sets (models), and coincidentally comprises parts in various colours; if a particular part/colour combination isn't necessary to make any of the more than a hundred models marketed in a year, you're not going to see it turn up in the secondary market.  Unique elements that turn up in expensive sets are going to be expensive, as those few Bricklink stores that do buy [expensive sets for parting out aren't going to buy many of them][6]. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/2feNn.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://gizmodo.com/5019900/65+foot+high-lego-cathedrals-store-19-billion-pieces-a-year&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/7b19v.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/LUOYl.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6OKyq.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/1890/what-is-the-rarest-lego-production-element-colour-shape-combination?rq=1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As seen in the comments, limits may be an issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contacting the LEGO customer service is certainly a good way to go, especially if you mention it's for educational purposes. Usually, you should be able to order a large quantity of specific given bricks, but I'm not sure they'll easily apply a bulk discount. Don't forget LEGO has an [educational division](http://education.lego.com/) which might be a better place to start, although I'm not sure they sell bricks separately.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;OddTodd also mentioned that [LEGO Certified Professional](http://aboutus.lego.com/en-us/lego-group/programs-and-visits/lego-certified-professionals/) have possibilities to buy parts in bulk, and while it shows LEGO has the possibility of doing so, I think there's a very important underlying point in there: you could contact a LCP yourself and see how he can help you. In addition of providing you material, he could make a visit at your school and talk about LEGO and his work, which may be interesting for the kids.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I can think of two other routes you can try, as there are two other sort of people who have readily access to large quantities of bricks: LEGO shops and LEGOland parks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[LEGO shops](http://service.lego.com/en-us/store-locator/) have a pick-a-brick wall where you can fill some buckets with whatever bricks are available at the moment. While this will certainly not be interesting for you, you may want to contact the manager and see if they're willing to order bricks specifically for you. One great advantage of this, if they're willing to help (again, mention the educational angle), is that they'll usually be able to buy parts by weight (for instance, 2kg boxes). Asking won't hurt you in any way.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Similarly, LEGOland park designers also have the possibility to order in bulk, but it's of course limited to their needs for the park buildings. However, if you happen to live near one, contacting the manager there might be worth trying, you never know.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One key point in all this is that the parts you need are extremely basic, which means it should be easier for you to convince people to sell them to you. Since a LEGO shop must order boxes of bricks on a regular basis, I'm confident it's the easiest route, as one or two boxes more should be easy for them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for the &quot;not-LEGO&quot; option, maybe you could contact the customer service of other existing brands and see what they can do (you could even use that as leverage in your discussion with LEGO, if you're so inclined... I can imagine &quot;But MegaBloks can provide me 10000 2x4 bricks for less than that&quot; may be a valid argument). I don't think people not currently manufacturing bricks would be willing to help, even if they have the tools to mould parts (moulds themselves are costly), but you could ask. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Check these two questions for more info on alternatives to LEGO:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [Are companies producing custom molded LEGO pieces legally entitled to do so?](http://bricks.stackexchange.com/q/250/99)&#xD;&#xA; - [Alternative products compatible with LEGO](http://bricks.stackexchange.com/q/256/99)" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I only use a few bricks in the course:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * 2x4 bricks &#xD;&#xA; * 2x2 bricks&#xD;&#xA; * 16x32, or larger, baseplates&#xD;&#xA; * 1x2 bricks (optional)&#xD;&#xA; * 1x1 bricks (optional)&#xD;&#xA; * 1x2 45 degree slope (optional)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For any one class, I ensure all of the bricks of a certain size are a consistent and unique color. So, all of my 2x4s would be blue, and all of my 2x2s would be green, for example.  This keeps the students focused on the shape of the structures, makes it easier to see how the other students used their blocks, and avoids worrying about color aesthetics.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Buying bricks in bulk of any specific color is problematic.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Related Question(s):**&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;* http://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/217/where-are-lego-parts-made&#xD;&#xA;* http://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/1543/are-the-molds-for-lego-bricks-maintained-in-house-or-is-maintanance-partly-outso&#xD;&#xA;* http://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/191/what-kind-of-plastic-are-lego-bricks-made-of&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Update**&#xD;&#xA;Just to add some context, I have good relationships with my two local LEGO stores, and they've helped me order about 50 pick-a-brick boxes over the last couple of years, but I'm hoping to find a more reliable and scalable source of building blocks.

However, after four years, not only haven't I run into a single set where it was structurally a necessity, but it also actually *looks* worse in all the sets I own. So I find myself constantly replacing new-style arches with old-style arches.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Wheel well VW bus][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Just one of many examples: the wheel well of the VW Camper Van. The raised arch introduces a questionable corner on the back side, and an utterly hideous bump on the front side, both of which are completely uncalled for. Replace the new arch with an old-style one, and suddenly the curve is perfectly smooth on the back side all by itself, and on the front side you can easily make it smooth as well by putting that cheese slope onto a headlight brick with a 1×1 plate, thus effectively moving it ½ plate back.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, I understand that in the Tower Bridge, say, the old arch wouldn't work for the middle windows, as it is just a bit too low the way they are designed. However, here's the punchline: the new arch is a bit *too high*, introducing a gap that doesn't look right. In fact I only got rid of it by [raising the middle windows by ½ plate](http://www.bricksetforum.com/discussion/comment/178528/#Comment_178528), using some SNOT magic. That can hardly be the point.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, has there been any kind of official statement explaining the redesign of this part? Or, failing that, do you own any sets that absolutely require the new-style arch for structural reasons?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/NP3Dy.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/5kWqn.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As such, they'll want to take legal action as soon as possible when one of their trademarks/copyrights is infringed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The second one is actually also about intellectual property, although not their own. Indeed, while LEGO is usually considered as the leader in the field of interlocking bricks, it can indeed happen that a competitor creates something new, which LEGO might not have considered. That would be where you would suggest that LEGO should &quot;keep up&quot;, but in reality most of the time it's exactly the contrary: since they may not infringe on the competitor's own intellectual property, they won't be able to imitate them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So saying that design decisions can be made independently of what other manufacturers are doing is, in my own opinion, utterly false. I can't imagine a field of business where you can completely ignore what your competitors are doing, just because you believe you're ahead of them, and if you do, you're either very cocky, or very naive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note I'm talking about serious competitors like MegaBloks, not the one who just copy badly everything LEGO makes. MegaBloks, for example, does have interesting parts (for example, plates with studs on both sides, [_Plate 1 x 2 connector, male:male_ and _Plate 2 x 2 connector, male:male_](http://bloks.hyperboards.com/action/view_topic/topic_id/6437)). These parts are interesting and many LEGO builders would like to have them, but it's unlikely LEGO would be willing to produce them now that MegaBloks has. Of course, I'm no lawyer and I understand copyright law may be much more intricate than that (there are parts which both companies produce, for example), but I'm confident this is a valid concern in the design process.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Thanks to a packaging, it does not have to be adjusted to lower amount customer is getting.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The key to the success is, that in most cases, difference between reduced and competitive products are so slightly that customers don't realize they've bought less paying the same (not adjusted price). But, since _not noticeable difference is multiplied by thousands or even millions of sold products, customers sees no difference and a company saves or earns extra millions of dollars.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This works in every or nearly every aspects of shopping. If you'll see two milk shakes, two washing powders, cakes, butters, milks, anything and on of them will be in a bigger package then second one, you'll most likely automatically pickup bigger one. You're brain assumes that this is better for you. Lego is no exception here and I'm pretty sure, that if they wouldn't receive negative response and push from eco-oriented organisations (what _RegDwight_ explained) they'd continue their politics for years.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This works brilliantly (for the manipulator, not for you, of course) especially, if you're doing a quick shopping in a large male and you reserves seconds or even parts of the seconds for process of selecting particular product over another one. Thanks to downsizing in manipulation, you're often fouled by manipulators using this technique -- bigger packaging does not necessary mean higher volume. I saw (too) many examples, where customer selecting bigger package was in fact getting lower volume. But due to very limited time for decision, he or she were checking size, weight etc. at home or never and the mechanism continued to work as a charm.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some sources claims that a big pinch in the bottom of each or nearly each wine bottle is in fact another example of downsizing, not a &quot;*handy catchpoint allowing bartender to hold bottle in one hand*. If you pinch-up bottom of the bottle that much, you can produce a bigger (wider) bottle, that contains the same amount of wine a competitive company offers. But since your bottle is wider (thanks to pinch-up) your customer will most likely choose your bottle, not competitive one.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Downsizing in influence is sometimes called &quot;_A British Airways olives example_&quot; after first documented use of this mechnism. Which, in the same time, explains why it is so common and so often used to foul us? Many years ago, British Airways managers calculated that removing _two olives_ from drinks serverd on board all their plains would reduce overall costs of flights by _millions of pounds_ in a year timeframe. They used this technique and a downsizing was borned. Customer was getting _less_ (than competitive flight companies offered), but difference was not noticeable, so customers were not complying. When this small difference was multiplied by a number of flights British Airways serves on each routers during entire year, company savings were at level of tens of millions pounds."

(And identical to that suggested by @jcranton in the comments of the accepted answer):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By adding [1x1 plates][7] under the connections to the vertical rails, the collision is avoided. (@jcranton's suggestion to use round plates I think is better than the square plates I have used).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![bridge solution][8]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The method above also means there is no need for double stacking the plates as shown in the LDraw from @62Bricks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So my prototype is taking shape:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Prototype][9]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have made a few other modifications, most notably dropping the level of the deck to accommodate the height of the trains I intend to run on it. I have also added reinforcement plates to the back of the sides to add rigidity as I intend to make the bridge wide enough for two tracks. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.bricksetforum.com/discussion/comment/38897/#Comment_38897&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/VWtJe.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.brickfetish.com/samsonite/3369-US/3369-us_front-rear-cover.htm&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/UJ5AP.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/I8R5r.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/9cYsv.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3024&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/3zmqI.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/78JU2.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Here are some thoughts to help with assembling this project.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Notice that the snake consists of the following pattern:  &#xD;&#xA;`float tube -&gt; pump section -&gt; float tube`  &#xD;&#xA;The float tubes are the elements that keep the heavier pump sections afloat.  You'll need something similar to recreate this with Legos.  You could put balloons inside of the float sections instead of making the Lego portion watertight.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. The float tube / pump section pattern is connected at right angles for each subsequent section.  This is the key in allowing the snake to flex in three dimensions (X, Y, Z).  There are a number of parts that you could use attached to the outside of cylinders to create this connection.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. The arms driving the pistons are encased in a flex conduit that is larger than the arm itself.  It's hard to see in that diagram, but the arm driving the pump never bends.  Said another way, the arm only moves in one dimension - back and forth.  I don't know of any Lego parts that would allow for this configuration.  A technics rod plus a flex conduit would look pretty close to what you need.  But the Lego pieces with holes are generally sized to allow the rod with a pretty close fit.  And you need something with a sloppy fit in this case.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. Measuring the motion is going to be challenging.  My first attempt would be to put a spring loaded slider against the piston along with a ruler next to the slider.  You could then measure the motion assuming you find a solution to the fit issue from #3 above.  If you wanted to convert that motion to an electrical measurement, you'll need some sort of transducer.  A mindstorms motor _might_ do the job, but I have no idea about how to program and monitor for that type of a thing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5. Finally, decide upon what aspect you want to measure to indicate the motion.  The edges of the tubes are actually moving in two planes of motion.  As the edge moves away from the piston, it rises up a little bit to accommodate the pivot point.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Here's a list providing the current consumption for each motor type under &quot;normal conditions&quot;:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Servo - 150mA&#xD;&#xA;* M - 150mA&#xD;&#xA;* L - 225mA&#xD;&#xA;* XL - 300mA&#xD;&#xA;* Train - 225mA&#xD;&#xA;* Lights - Negligible ([&quot;You can generally power as many as you need in addition to the motors&quot;][3])&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, in order to stay within TLG's recommendations, you shouldn't be running anything totalling more than 800mA from the above list off of a single battery box. Also be aware that if you are doing things which require a lot of mechanical power, such as heavy lifting, your motors will draw additional power. A stalled XL motor will overload the battery box by itself, for example.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as I know, overloading the battery box doesn't cause any long term problems, so there isn't an issue with testing your configuration to see if the battery box can handle it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://powerfunctions.lego.com/en-us/faq/default.aspx&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://powerfunctions.lego.com/en-us/ElementSpecs/Default.aspx&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://powerfunctions.lego.com/en-us/ElementSpecs/Default.aspx#8870" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As you noted, prices from many retailers will fluctuate based on supply and demand, and that can often explain why a set is expensive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Amazon in particular lists many sets which are no longer in production. As an extreme example, the [UCS Millenium Falcon][1] is currently listed at over $3000 USD even though its MSRP is just $499.99. Popular items tend to be more expensive on sites like Amazon after the item is no longer being produced by TLG due to shrinking supply.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can search sites like [brickset.com][2] and others to find information about the year a set was released and its MSRP. In general, if a set was released more than 3 years ago, it is no longer in production and you will probably pay a premium to get it new and in its original box. You can also start by shopping at LEGO.com where all of the sets will be currently in production.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000WLW3W0&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://brickset.com" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

You mentioned that your son really likes City sets. That is actually a good thing as far as getting standard prices because City is a perennial LEGO theme. The Police station your son sees at the back of an old instruction-manual may have been retired, but you can be rest assured that there is a newer version currently available. LEGO City police, fire, construction and cost-guard sets are always available.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would suggest that you check the Online LEGO Shop for the current selection of LEGO City sets and have your son choose what he likes from there. You can also request a Retail Catalog LEGO will send you by mail every few months which contains some of the latest sets - it is very nice to browse through it. This might be a better way for your son to pick the sets he likes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you still decide to shop on Amazon, shop only for current sets (the ones you have seen at the Online LEGO Shop), instead of retired sets. Current sets should be the same price or better then what's available directly from LEGO. Also make sure you are shopping directly from Amazon, and not from an Amazon reseller. Listings with the &quot;Eligible for Free Super Saver Shipping&quot; option included are directly from Amazon and should have the best price. " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

My 3-year-old son has a small collection of wooden trains and we enjoy building tracks together. His tracks include cross-overs, switches, and bridges, and I know there is a wide range of products in that family that we could pour money into: elevated tracks, etc. However, now that the Lego train has invaded our home, I feel that we'd be better served building Lego layouts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've seen from shop.lego.com that there are [straight][1], [curved][2], [flexible][3], and [switch][4] tracks available for purchase now.

Is there an easy way to achieve a figure-8 track layout?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Bonus points for solutions that stick to System pieces instead of Technic pieces, since I have more System than Technic.

However, it was always annoying that Star Wars vehicles and playsets didn't come with figures. The Ewok Village has no Ewoks in it. The X-Wing has no pilot. Etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This policy let Kenner (now Hasbro) sell the figures at full retail on a per-figure basis and let collectors buy only what they needed, but for me it meant that my figures never matched my vehicles or playsets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lego sells products that directly compete with Hasbro's line of Star Wars vehicles and playsets. Lego could take the approach that Hasbro did, and sell the minifigs separately, except that they were forbidden from doing so by the terms of their license agreement. This is why the [earliest Star Wars minifig packs][1] were discontinued and replaced with the [army builder sets][2], which had some minimum number of bricks required to make them &quot;building toys&quot; and not &quot;action figures&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But if Lego sold the figures separately, you'd still have the problem of sets that lack play value, because they require additional purchases. Instead of having the X-Wing with R2D2 and Luke Skywalker in pilot outfit, you'd just have the X-Wing. The X-Wing itself would be maybe $3 cheaper but you'd have to spend $6 just to get the figures that go with it (I'm basing these numbers on the prices of the collectible minifigs). Stores would have to stock huge displays of minifgs.

This includes cross track, bridges, switches, and inclines.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Cross track&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as I know, this was never released for either RC or PF trains. As you noted, there was a cross track part for the 9V trains. If you aren't aware, 9V, RC, and PF track is mechanically compatible, the only difference is that 9V track has metal rails. If you don't mind the look of metal rails on your cross track when the rest of your track is plastic, the 9V crossing should work fine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Bridges&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You are correct that there aren't dedicated train bridges. You are left to build whatever you like.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can make anything from a simple bridge that just holds up the track like this one based on the Unofficial LEGO Technic Builder's Guide ([source][1]):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![simple bridge][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Or you can create something elaborate like this bridge from the 2006 NMRA show:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![bigger bridge][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Sloping Track&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;LEGO does not produce sloping track for the common train gauge. There is sloping track for the 4-stud gauge, but I doubt you will have much use for it. Aside from the tiny gauge, it is also too steep to climb for normal trains. Here's what it looks like:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![sloped for gauge track][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Monorails did use sloped track, so if you don't mind mixing those into your layout, they could be an easy option. Here's an example of elevated track from 6399:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![6399][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can also build your own inclines, but keep in mind that it takes quite a bit of space. You can't do much more than 2 plates of incline per track section for most trains.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Switches&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Each era of trains has had switches, so this is not an issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Double switches&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other than the one you mentioned, I don't think this has ever been released before. It seems like it would be pretty difficult to build custom track from parts, and this would very challenging to build.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Example layouts&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sets often come with example layouts including which track pieces that you need. Here's one example from an old 12V set:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![official track examples][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's a similar example from a 9V set:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![9V official track examples][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'll just leave you with this cool [12V layout video][8].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://phoxtane.deviantart.com/art/Train-Bridge-V1-MOC-Lego-Trains-347497336&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/rDyJI.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Mzzkv.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/7JSO8.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/fCr2d.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/KL3Lh.png&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Z4Ql1.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcSbxAU672w" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As you seem to be aware of, it is difficult to get individual bricks from these individual sellers. Having to pay separate shipping from various buyers plus the unreasonable prices can really add up.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then there's [LEGO Shop][1]. Here, you can buy LEGO bricks directly from the LEGO company. You can individually purchase bricks from [Pick-A-Brick][2], or buy their [currently advertised sets][3]. The downside to this is that they obviously do not carry discontinued sets, the selection in [Pick-A-Brick][4] is limited, and the prices are unsatisfyingly high, making the bucks add up quickly. Shipping times can be pretty quick and cheap, that is, if they're not currently having any difficulties with their warehouse. If they are, then orders can be delayed by a large amount of time, which has happened to me twice. I once placed an order there which took nearly two months to arrive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then, there's [Bricklink][5]. You seem to be aware of this website. I like it very much. It is, in many people's opinions, the best source from which to acquire LEGO bricks. The prices are cheap, it carries almost every piece and set ever released, (even discontinued ones) the tools for finding bricks are useful, and most of the people there are pretty nice. The interface is quite useful, you just have to be familiar with it. Once you get used to it, I'm sure it won't seem so &quot;clunky&quot; to you. For detailed help, enter the [chat room][6]. The people there are very nice, and will be happy to you point you in the right direction.&#xD;&#xA;Shipping times vary depending on which area you buy from. Buying from within your country might generate shipping the speed of TLG on their best days. Bricklink, however, is much less likely to have technical difficulties as each order is just an individual seller sending something off to the post office, and has therefore generally been more reliable in my experience.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Pick-A-Brick-ByTheme&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/ByTheme&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Pick-A-Brick-ByTheme&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://www.bricklink.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://www.bricklink.com/chatLogin.asp" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Whilst it doesn't directly relate to LEGO, or toys in general, it does make quite a few good points about the effect colours have on our choices:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &quot;According to a 2005 research article published by the BBC, children&#xD;&#xA;&gt; can see and even appreciate colors as early as four months old. At&#xD;&#xA;&gt; that age, however, their eyes may not yet be sufficiently developed to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; recognize various shades of color or differentiate dull colors like&#xD;&#xA;&gt; grey and brown.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This doesn't really apply to the sets you've shown which are marketed towards children aged four and over, *although* it may apply to Duplo sets which are made for younger children.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &quot;a preference for bright colors may be a result of evolutionary&#xD;&#xA;&gt; developments. Many naturally occurring foods---like tomatoes, apples,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; oranges, bananas and berries---are bright, bold colors when they are&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ripe and ready for consumption. By contrast, almost all fruits turn a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; brown, black or gray color as they pass their readiness for&#xD;&#xA;&gt; consumption and begin to rot.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here we have another reference to an ingrained biological behaviour, It's probably insignificant considering how the majority of the bricks and the packaging are brightly coloured.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &quot;adults typically associate bright colors with fun, happy times. For&#xD;&#xA;&gt; this reason, many parents bombard children with brightly colored&#xD;&#xA;&gt; gifts, paint children's rooms bright colors, and deliver marketing and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; entertainment messages to children through the use of brightly colored&#xD;&#xA;&gt; cartoons.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I can't claim to know a thing about psychology but from my experience building models as a child, I know that the focus has always been on building something you can play with. A few gray pieces here and there wouldn't stop me from building a car with psychedelic mixture of colours&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Building ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Supposing you're a child and you ready to build something from the real world that's both gray and exciting. Well, there are a few animals like elephants, rhinos and wolves you could build but other then that there aren't that many realistic things you could build apart from castle walls, boulders etc... (You are welcome to challenge me on that point)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Manufacturing ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Keeping the amount of colours to a minimum, makes the manufacturing process cheaper. Fewer [part bins][2] need to be sourced and delivered to the packaging area (although a large part of this process is automated).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.ehow.com/how-does_5476948_do-bright-colors-appeal-kids.html&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://images.businessweek.com/ss/06/11/1129_makingof_lego/image/09.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This is especially true in the Superheroes theme where the iconic superhero minifigures are often the selling point of a set. Look at The Hobbit line for example. To be able to obtain a complete company of dwarves, one needs to buy all the sets of the wave, save for an exception: The small &quot;Riddles of the Rings&quot; set. Throughout the whole wave, Bilbo Baggins is included thrice, and buying all the sets except the aforementioned examples would net you with 2 Bilbos, despite being different variants. Here comes the Riddles of the Rings set. It is the smallest set of the wave, and contains two, fairly desirable characters, Gollum and Bilbo, despite not being exclusive. Keep in mind that one of the sets containing Bilbo is very large, and the other is a limited edition set. By buying this smallest set, kids would already be satisfied to be able to obtain Bilbo.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As other people mentioned in the above, it needs to be a complete set. You can't have an X-Wing set without Luke Skywalker just because he also star in a Snowspeeder set that was only released a year ago. He is pivotal to that scene, and so he needs to be there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Remember that LEGO is still a company trying to make profit, and it is far more profitable to include the characters in multiple sets so everybody can have him, as opposed to a highly desirable character only included in one colossal set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Although I have to agree The Lone Ranger is pushing it a bit too far :)" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

While I can understand the fascination with the Cave Troll (it is a popular, obscure, and easy to rip off item from the set), I wonder if sets that are missing capes / cloaks is a chronic problem, as those being the only other items out of stock may indicate a larger issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Has anyone else experienced missing minifigure capes / cloaks, or is this issue unique to me?

I usually won't count Doctor Octopus as one, though. But I'll count it this time. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The very first minifigure to be able to hold more than 2 tools is Doctor Octopus, from the &quot;Spider-Man&quot; theme from 2003. This was achieved by building a harness that goes on the neck. This version appeared in 3 sets, all in different variants. It should also be noted he received a 4+ figure version, which is aimed to kids 4 and above. This version is not exactly a &quot;minifigure&quot;. His tentacle harness is built into the figure, and is not removable. This one was released in 2 sets. 2012 brings another Doc Ock, based on the Ultimate Spiderman TV show, using a similar trick as the 2003 version. This minifigure only appear in one limited edition set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The next multi-armed minifigure is General Grievous from the &quot;Star Wars&quot; theme, hailing from the 2005 &quot;Revenge of the Sith&quot; subtheme. He was made out of a specialized head and torso; however, his legs and arms are common droid parts, with 4 of these arms attached to the special torso. This version appears in 2 sets, though one is more highly sought after due to Grievous having an exclusive cape in that one. Both versions came with his iconic lightsabers, but his arm poseability are rather limited; they only move sideways, and their wrists don't hinge. Grievous gets a re-release in 2010 as part of the Clone Wars Subtheme. This was, accuracy wise, a major leap. He was composed completely out of exclusive pieces. Now his arms hinge up and down, but like a lot of other LEGO robots, his wrists still don't turn. Also, his second pair of arms attach to the first pair, giving a rather awkward looking angle and less poseability. This version appears in 2 sets, though the second would only be released in 2012.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Next, we have Frenzy. Frenzy is a Space Police Minifigure released in 2009. He was a large step forward to the original Grievous. He had a special molded head that goes over his regular, albeit uniquely printed, Minifigure torso. This extra head has a twist: it has room to accomodate a pair of droid arms, giving him 4 arms, although the upper two has little use, since their grip is permanently sideways. Still, it's a step up. Frenzy only appears in one set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2011 brings about Samukai, the former king of the underworld of the Ninjago theme. Samukai is similar to the other skeleton soldiers, but with a massive head that, like Frenzy, fits over his torso and has room for arms. As an addition though, his upper jaw and lower jaw is separate, so he can open his mouth. His head is designed so it can snugly accommodate a second row of skeleton arms. Samukai's top-heavy stature caused by his head prevents him from getting his own spinner, thus making Samukai only appear in 2, very large Ninjago sets from 2011.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In 2012, Garmadon, Ninjago's antagonist, becomes four-armed through less-than-known means. He is the one I truly consider the &quot;first&quot; four armed minifigure. He had a specialised body extension piece that goes over his torso, which is the same as the one in 2011, and a head that goes on that torso extension. He appears in 2 sets, both following suit as Samukai, in the sense that it appears in 2 very large sets. 2013 has a very similar Garmadon, except for a different helmet and staff. This variant appears in 1 set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another Minifigure is four armed in 2013, and once again it is from Ninjago. He is General Kozu, general of the stone army. He also utilizes a torso extension like Garmadon, but a different mold. Like a lot of characters in the 2013 Ninjago wave, he is exclusive to 1 set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Last, but certainly not least, is another Star Wars minifigure named Pong Krell. He uses a similar torso extension as Garmadon or Kozu, but his alien head was incorporated to the extension. He carries his iconic twin double sided lightsabers, and, like many Star Wars figures, is exclusive to one set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I know this answer is pretty long, but it's very comprehensive. Please edit it if I miss something, or I wrote something wrongly. Bear in mind that all this minifigures can hold conventional minifigure tools.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;             &#xD;&#xA;             &#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I was able to duplicate her results so a can validate it does work. It is really a modification of a bamboo copter &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamboo-copter&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Challenge: &#xD;&#xA;Lego does not make a quality aerial propeller or water/hydrodaulic screw-prop with a fuel efficient power stroke. The Vuurzoon design takes alot of power to fly and uses the power that it is given inefficiently. The only thing going for the Vuurzoon prop design is that it has the most efficient rotor angle to create lift. The Vuurzoon design uses hand power instead of electrical power and thus avoids the low power limitation of Lego electrical motors and battery pack systems.  Lego motors without gearing don't go above 2000 rpm at their set voltage/current level and have a high weight to power ratio which is bad for flying. Going over an 8:1 gearing causes a Lego motor to lose so much power/torque that any propellers slow down due to wind resistance (even the most energy efficient  light weight two blade electrical propellers has this problem).  Lego motors can go a bit faster if pumped with higher current and higher voltage from a non standard non-lego power source (e.g. poly-Lithium +15V power pack) but many believe this will shorten the motor lifespan.

These are commonly known as the [Spider-Man 1][1] and [Spider-Man 2][2] themes. This license was apparently only for Spider-Man and characters in the films and not for other Marvel superheroes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In October 2004, Marvel and Mega Bloks announced [a multi-year license agreement][3] that allowed Mega Bloks to use several Marvel superhero characters and create movie-related products. LEGO did not produce any Spider-Man or Marvel-themed sets between 2006 and late 2011.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In 2009-10, [Marvel Entertainment was purchased by The Walt Disney Company][4], with whom LEGO had a long-standing relationship producing Disney-themed sets. In July 2011 it was announced that [LEGO had obtained a license to the Marvel characters][5] as part of an expansion of its license agreement with Disney. At about the same time, [LEGO expanded its license deal with DC Comics][6], a subsidiary of Warner Brothers, to include the full line of DC characters. LEGO had a previous license with DC to produce Batman-themed sets, which were first released in 2006.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With licenses from these two major comic book companies in hand, LEGO created two Super Heroes themes, [DC Universe Super Heroes][7], launched in late 2011, and [Marvel Super Heroes][8], launched in mid 2012.

This makes it easy to start your part inventory. All you have to do is import your sets and then export your parts list.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## [Bricklink Inventory Reference][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Unlike Peeron, Bricklink is getting updated constantly, so it shouldn't have issues with newer sets. These inventories are also very detailed and include extra parts, sticker sheets, etc. If you are a seller on Bricklink, you can also part out sets into your inventory which could be useful to you at some point.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Brickset / Lego.com&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;TLG provides nearly complete inventories for sets online via the [replacement parts page][3]. You can use this to get part information from your sets, but the interface is lacking because this isn't really what the page is meant for.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Brickset][4] provides this same part data in a format which is much better for viewing. Simply search for a set and use the &quot;Parts&quot; tab to view contents if they are available.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These resources have a couple of downsides:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. They only include relatively new sets.&#xD;&#xA;2. Set inventories aren't as complete as Peeron or Bricklink.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## [Rebrickable][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rebrickable also provides set inventories. Once you search for a set, you can scroll down to find a list of parts. This source includes sets from all time, and is still being updated as new sets come out. Rebrickable does perform some normalization on parts. For example, these three parts are all treated as the same part by Rebrickable:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![4085 examples][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rebrickable is designed to find compatibilities between sets, so they tend to throw out minor part details. Here's how Nathan put it in a blog post:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Rebrickable is not about maintaining a pure pristine database of historical LEGO parts, but is a tool to facilitate building of sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If that doesn't bother you, it could be a good part resource. In addition, Nathan was kind enough to provide me with a [dump of the Rebrickable database][7] about six months back. If you'd like something to work with offline, that's the best thing that I'm aware of.

You can buy individual Power Functions parts from [a LEGO shop][1] or from various other vendors. The advantage is that you'll get the specific parts that you're interested in. The down-side is that it'll probably cost you more than buying a set like 8293.&#xD;&#xA;2. You can buy a bundle from eBay. Several vendors make up their own kits that are similar to 8293 but with a slightly different mix of components.&#xD;&#xA;3. You can buy a set that contains Power Functions. This tends to be fairly cost-effective if you're interested in the parts that the set contains, but with the disadvantage of a larger initial outlay. Of course, you could re-sell anything you don't want if you're prepared to put in some effort. The other advantage of buying a kit is that you'll probably learn some new techniques during construction.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you go for (3), some of your options are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* 8110 Mercedes-Benz Unimog U 400&#xD;&#xA;* 9397 Logging Truck&#xD;&#xA;* 9398 4X4 Crawler&#xD;&#xA;* 41999 4x4 Crawler Exclusive Edition&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personally, if had the cash, I'd go for a 41999 (assuming it is still available).

That's why we see &quot;Battle packs&quot; like this one in the Star Wars theme:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Battle pack][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With that said, there is a strong secondary market for minifigs.

While this was great to play all sort of different board games and they made a very good effort to ensure they were always complete, I have some memories of [one particular game](http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/361/hare-tortoise) which smelled kinda funny. We liked the game though, so we played it quite often, but it did smell funny.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So that would be one thing to be wary of - how exactly do they sanitize blocks? How do they deal with blocks which are rented to smokers, or people with pets (considering some people are allergic, it's a very valid question). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course inventory of the set would tend to be an issue too - as a matter of fact, they did have a few LEGO sets at said toy library, and I can tell you they were far from complete (since the library was at the school, we could sometimes play with the toys when waiting for our parents, or something like that; in any case I never rented LEGO sets as I had my own LEGO bricks and the sets weren't complete anyway). In any case, considering how easy it is to lose a LEGO parts, and seeing pleygo claims &quot;No charge for lost pieces&quot;, it's bound to happen a lot that pieces are indeed lost. I assume they'll try to replace them somehow, but I'm extremely curious about how they'd do that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you're willing to try the service, I would at the very least recommand you get answers to these questions (they may be on their site somewhere, I didn't check), and more importantly, check if you can get a trial somehow. It would be nuts to have to pay one full year to realize the service is sub-par.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But in my opinion, it's probably always better to buy sets. Keeping in mind LEGO usually keeps its value rather well, is it wise to pay 15$ a month and not get anything you can keep in return?" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I was able to duplicate her results so a can validate it does work. It is really a modification of a bamboo copter &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamboo-copter&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Glider design**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Daron Williams ( via Drat Glider) and Milan *grohl* Reindl of the Czech Republic have both reported making working/flying Lego gliders using mainly Technic cross axles components.  Both gliders travelled between  20 to 30 feet with the Drat Glider with the bigger wingspan going a bit longer.  The wing cross section is more or less flat (one stud tall airfoil) and acting more like an air sail (para glider) than an airfoil. Williams uses Lego Plastic sheets from the Mars Exploration Rover Set to cover the wing (wing cowling).  Reindl uses plastic from garbage bag and tape to cover the wing on his glider. My own attempts at making a glider indicate that any airfoil over two studs tall/high creates too much air resistance and causes the glider to stall and crash. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/1769&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CQcCoZ9rcY&#xD;&#xA;  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**The Challenge:** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lego does not make a quality aerial propeller or water/hydrodaulic screw-prop with a fuel efficient power stroke. The Vuurzoon design takes alot of power to fly and uses the power that it is given inefficiently. The only thing going for the Vuurzoon prop design is that it has the most efficient rotor angle to create lift. The Vuurzoon design uses hand power instead of electrical power and thus avoids the low power limitation of Lego electrical motors and battery pack systems.  Lego motors without gearing don't go above 2000 rpm at their set voltage/current level and have a high weight to power ratio which is bad for flying. Going over an 8:1 gearing causes a Lego motor to lose so much power/torque that any propellers slow down due to wind resistance (even the most energy efficient  light weight two blade electrical propellers has this problem).  Lego motors can go a bit faster if pumped with higher current and higher voltage from a non standard non-lego power source (e.g. poly-Lithium +15V power pack) but many believe this will shorten the motor lifespan.  Lego Power Function electrical packs are also too heavy for flight  the lightest battery pack is a Li-ion rechargable pack which weights about 75 grams. The heaviest Lego battery pack is the AA battery pack with alkline batteries which weights 195 grams -  which is enough to sink a two catamaran hull or a large single hulled lego boat.&#xD;&#xA;Standard Lego bricks are too heavy for an heavier-than-air airframe . The lightest lego parts are the technic axles followed by the half width technic beams - both are only semi-ridge so some bracing is need if air frame rigidity is required.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Analysis of other attempts&#xD;&#xA;--------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Lego Quadcopter**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are several efforts to use Lego to make the frame of a quadcopter and uses a non lego high speed lightweight motors, hi powered batteries, and electric propeller. The high speed  motors usually run at 3400 to 15000 rpm @ 13 to 30 vdc and are very light weight. In addition it is using a non lego Poly-Lithium power pack some output as high as 30vdc even with heavy current drains. Some are using a Arudino microprocessor like device for remote communication. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkrTJh0H1fs&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://robotsquare.com/2012/03/02/flying-lego/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://tinkernology.blogspot.com/2010/08/lego-nxt-quadcopter-no-really.html&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://www.suasnews.com/2012/12/20276/drone-made-of-lego-takes-flight/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Lego NXT Blimp-Airship**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A lighter than air Lego Airship which was made by The Lego Group for a European Lego show/convention - uses Lego education propellers (from the renewable energy kit) and standard Lego motors and power supply. A prototype (Non commerical custom made) helium balloons are use to create a neutral buoyancy so that the Propellers can create lift and push the airship forward.  The Lego airship (called the C5) was demonstrated in an auditorium/stadium with a very high ceiling (there is no wind of any kind that the Airship would have to overcome).    &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GefwcBUioAE&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I was able to duplicate her results so a can validate it does work. It is really a modification of a bamboo copter &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamboo-copter&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Glider design**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Daron Williams ( via Drat Glider) and Milan *grohl* Reindl of the Czech Republic have both reported making working/flying Lego gliders using mainly Technic cross axles components.  Both gliders travelled between  20 to 30 feet with the Drat Glider with the bigger wingspan going a bit longer.  The wing cross section is more or less flat (one stud tall airfoil) and acting more like an air sail (para glider) than an airfoil. Williams uses Lego Plastic sheets from the Mars Exploration Rover Set to cover the wing (wing cowling).  Reindl uses plastic from garbage bag and tape to cover the wing on his glider. I have made my own Lego glider using the plastic from Lego store bags as my wing canvas using similar construction techniques as Williams and Reindl . My preliminary indoor flying test validate the results by Williams and Reindl. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/1769&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CQcCoZ9rcY&#xD;&#xA;  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**The Challenge:** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lego does not make a quality aerial propeller or water/hydrodaulic screw-prop with a fuel efficient power stroke. The Vuurzoon design takes alot of power to fly and uses the power that it is given inefficiently. The only thing going for the Vuurzoon prop design is that it has the most efficient rotor angle to create lift. The Vuurzoon design uses hand power instead of electrical power and thus avoids the low power limitation of Lego electrical motors and battery pack systems.  Lego motors without gearing don't go above 2000 rpm at their set voltage/current level and have a high weight to power ratio which is bad for flying. Going over an 8:1 gearing causes a Lego motor to lose so much power/torque that any propellers slow down due to wind resistance (even the most energy efficient  light weight two blade electrical propellers has this problem).  Lego motors can go a bit faster if pumped with higher current and higher voltage from a non standard non-lego power source (e.g. poly-Lithium +15V power pack) but many believe this will shorten the motor lifespan.  Lego Power Function electrical packs are also too heavy for flight  the lightest battery pack is a Li-ion rechargable pack which weights about 75 grams. The heaviest Lego battery pack is the AA battery pack with alkline batteries which weights 195 grams -  which is enough to sink a two catamaran hull or a large single hulled lego boat.&#xD;&#xA;Standard Lego bricks are too heavy for an heavier-than-air airframe . The lightest lego parts are the technic axles followed by the half width technic beams - both are only semi-ridge so some bracing is need if air frame rigidity is required.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Analysis of other attempts&#xD;&#xA;--------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Lego Quadcopter**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are several efforts to use Lego to make the frame of a quadcopter and uses a non lego high speed lightweight motors, hi powered batteries, and electric propeller. The high speed  motors usually run at 3400 to 15000 rpm @ 13 to 30 vdc and are very light weight. In addition it is using a non lego Poly-Lithium power pack some output as high as 30vdc even with heavy current drains. Some are using a Arudino microprocessor like device for remote communication. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkrTJh0H1fs&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://robotsquare.com/2012/03/02/flying-lego/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://tinkernology.blogspot.com/2010/08/lego-nxt-quadcopter-no-really.html&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://www.suasnews.com/2012/12/20276/drone-made-of-lego-takes-flight/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Lego NXT Blimp-Airship**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A lighter than air Lego Airship which was made by The Lego Group for a European Lego show/convention - uses Lego education propellers (from the renewable energy kit) and standard Lego motors and power supply. A prototype (Non commerical custom made) helium balloons are use to create a neutral buoyancy so that the Propellers can create lift and push the airship forward.  The Lego airship (called the C5) was demonstrated in an auditorium/stadium with a very high ceiling (there is no wind of any kind that the Airship would have to overcome).    &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GefwcBUioAE&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Using official Lego containers is the most expensive and least flexible option, as they are not really in the storage business. The [Technic Briefcase][1] is a good start if you have Technic, but those get pricey if you want more than a couple.&#xD;&#xA;![Technic Briefcase][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The basic idea is there though - you want a lot of compartments in a few different sizes. Many people buy plastic storage systems, either tackle boxes or drawers (or both), in quantities ranging from &quot;a couple&quot; to &quot;the entire wall of my playroom&quot;. Drawers have the advantage that they stack vertically very well, so you can fit a lot of compartments in a small-ish space, and you can get systems that lock together or attach to the wall. Tackle boxes are more portable but harder to get things out of, and organising the boxes can get ugly when you get a lot of them. But I prefer tackle boxes because they give me a wider variety of parts per area of desk, and they're portable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since I'm kinda crafty in other ways, I actually built my own tackle box like trays out of wood. That has the advantage that I can customise them exactly how I want them, but obviously I needed a table saw and other tools to build them.

Pull out any remaining paperwork and heavy stuff (motors, battery boxes with batteries in).&#xD;&#xA;3. You should be left with a pile of bricks. Pull out all the minifigs (don't worry too much if you miss a few, and ignore their accessories) unless they're already holding them.&#xD;&#xA;4. Weigh the remaining loose bricks, and use your price / kg to value them. If you think there is non-LEGO in there (megablocks etc.) either pull them out or reduce your price a bit.&#xD;&#xA;5. Weigh the complete sets. Use your price / kg to value them and then add a % based on how desirable you think the sets are. Castle, train, space (inc.

Scratches or other marks lower price considerably. For example, I've got some old bricks from the 60s that are really poor for building because they're not made from the same plastic as newer bricks. As a result, people don't seem to want them, despite their relative age.&#xD;&#xA; - &quot;Cuteness&quot; of models matters a lot. Some of my oldest sets are quite rare, but they're also quite boring (e.g. sets of roof tiles). As a result they're no where near as valuable as a relatively common but fun set from the same era.&#xD;&#xA; - People like figs, so the pre-minifig era sets are not so desirable.&#xD;&#xA; - Many buyers like sets from their childhood, so nice space-themed sets from the late 70s - early 90s sets generally do well on the second-user market."

There are several approaches you can take to valuing a collection, but it really depends on how much work you're prepared to put in.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, **the only true indicator of anything is the amount that someone is prepared to pay for it**. However, as a lot of people are buying and selling LEGO, we can get a lot more specific than that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**The Stupidly Fancy Method**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, at the extreme end of the spectrum, you could go to the trouble of cataloguing every component in the collection and coming up with a price for each piece - based on BrickLink or something similar. There are 3 problems with this approach:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Prices on BrickLink are a fair guide, but remember that these are selling prices, which may not match the price that someone is willing to spend. For common components the prices are probably about right, but for rarer ones the vendors may be asking unrealistic prices.&#xD;&#xA;* It isn't all about the parts. Complete sets may be worth more than their component parts, especially if boxes and instructions are present and in good condition. Mint, unopened sets are often worth more than opened sets, but how much more depends on the set.&#xD;&#xA;* For anything but the smallest collection, this approach is prohibitively time consuming for us mere mortals.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**The Easy Way**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At the other end of the spectrum is another approach: weigh the collection, and base the price on weight. People often sell by weight on eBay, so by looking at a few listings it is fairly easy to come up with a figure for price per kg (or lb). The problem with this is:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* There is a fairly wide variation of prices on eBay.&#xD;&#xA;* It doesn't take into account complete sets, manuals etc.&#xD;&#xA;* Some parts are quite heavy - motors, weights etc.&#xD;&#xA;* This approach doesn't take into account the difference between collections with lots of small parts vs lots of larger ones.&#xD;&#xA;* Some parts are worth more because they're rare or particularly desirable, e.g. minifigs tend to be more desirable than regular bricks, star wars components are more desirable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Despite these issues, this general approach seems to be fairly common on eBay. They might sell for more by parting-out, but the effort and time involved just isn't worth it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**My Way**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, you can do something in between.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, here's what I would do if I were *selling*:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;0. Guess the value.&#xD;&#xA;1. Figure out your price / kg by looking at recent sales on eBay.&#xD;&#xA;2. Pull out any complete sets.&#xD;&#xA;3. Pull out any remaining paperwork and heavy stuff (motors, battery boxes with batteries in).&#xD;&#xA;3. You should be left with a pile of bricks. Pull out all the minifigs (don't worry too much if you miss a few, and ignore their accessories) unless they're already holding them.&#xD;&#xA;4. Weigh the remaining loose bricks, and use your price / kg to value them. If you think there is non-LEGO in there (megablocks etc.) either pull them out or reduce your price a bit.&#xD;&#xA;5. Weigh the complete sets. Use your price / kg to value them and then add a % based on how desirable you think the sets are. Castle, train, space (inc. StarWars), pirate and technic tend to be worth a bit more.&#xD;&#xA;6. Assign a nominal value to each minifig. Regular city people are worth quite a bit less than &quot;interesting&quot; figs. Starwars are favourite, followed by other &quot;fancy&quot; ones. (If I were selling, I'd probably sell the figs in separate bundles).&#xD;&#xA;7. Add this lot up.&#xD;&#xA;8. Compare the difference between the guess you made in 0 and the answer you got in 7, and pick a price somewhere in between.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, if I were *buying* I'd knock 20% off this price and insist that the seller do the same!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Notes on Pricing**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When setting a price, consider the following general rules:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Although the age and rarity of a set or component has some relation to its desirability, they are not the most important part of price.&#xD;&#xA; - Quality of the parts matters a lot. Scratches or other marks lower price considerably. For example, I've got some old bricks from the 60s that are really poor for building because they're not made from the same plastic as newer bricks. As a result, people don't seem to want them, despite their relative age.&#xD;&#xA; - &quot;Cuteness&quot; of models matters a lot. Some of my oldest sets are quite rare, but they're also quite boring (e.g. sets of roof tiles). As a result they're no where near as valuable as a relatively common but fun set from the same era.&#xD;&#xA; - People like figs, so the pre-minifig era sets are not so desirable.&#xD;&#xA; - Many buyers like sets from their childhood, so nice space-themed sets from the late 70s - early 90s generally do well on the second-user market."

Extreme safety must be exercised as it is super glue and can cause skin to bond and burn as well as prove poisonous via inhalation. I would recommend using wet(with water) latex cleaning gloves as the water seems to prevent the gloves from sticking to themselves or each other to handle the glue, and then using a nail or something thin to apply it to the crack. However, it can cause the piece's colour to rub off, so be careful. One should always test the cracks(dependent on piece, e.g. putting legs into a torso). and look for more(with magnified glass (glasses, monocles, loupes, magnifying glasses, etc.) before returning it to use. The glue must be left to dry for at least 8 hours(maybe more), even though it will initially appear dry. Still, it seems to work. The torso I had from Rodney Rathbone had a bad crack on the left side, and some DURO seems to have done the job." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The basic steps are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Remove the sticker from the piece. I use a razor blade. Hold it&#xD;&#xA;   nearly flat against the brick and very carefully start around the&#xD;&#xA;   edges of the sticker until you have enough pulled away that you can&#xD;&#xA;   hold an edge with your fingers. Then it's a matter of pulling evenly&#xD;&#xA;   at the sticker while separating it with the razor blade. This takes&#xD;&#xA;   patience. Go slow.&#xD;&#xA;   &#xD;&#xA; -  Once the sticker is removed, flatten out the wrinkles and re-align&#xD;&#xA;   the torn spots as much as you can. I usually do this on a piece of&#xD;&#xA;   waxed paper. Any glue left over on the sticker will hold on the waxed&#xD;&#xA;   paper, but it can easily be peeled off. Once you have it flat and&#xD;&#xA;   smooth again, put another piece of paper over it, then a piece of cardboard, then some heavy books or even a brick. Leave it under weight for a couple days.&#xD;&#xA;   &#xD;&#xA; -  Clean the sticker residue off the brick. You might be able to rub&#xD;&#xA;   most of it off, but I have also used products like Goo Gone (which is&#xD;&#xA;   petroleum-based, so use *very* sparingly). After getting the residue&#xD;&#xA;   off, wash the brick with warm soapy water.&#xD;&#xA;   &#xD;&#xA; -  Take your sticker out from under the weight. You can do some cleaning&#xD;&#xA;   of the sticker, if needed, using a kneadable eraser. If the sticker&#xD;&#xA;   is mostly intact - that is if the layers of paper haven't peeled&#xD;&#xA;   apart - you can now carefully remove it from the waxed paper and&#xD;&#xA;   reapply it. In some cases, there will be enough glue on the back that&#xD;&#xA;   you can just re-apply it to the piece as is. In other cases (like the&#xD;&#xA;   example above, for instance) glue is missing or the layers of paper&#xD;&#xA;   have peeled apart. &#xD;&#xA;   &#xD;&#xA; -  In the case of peeled layers, you can re-glue them together using a&#xD;&#xA;   thin layer of glue - like from a glue stick. Carefully apply it to&#xD;&#xA;   the top of the lower layer of paper, position the printed paper&#xD;&#xA;   smoothly over it and put it back under the weight to dry. If part of the backing paper has torn away (and is left stuck on the piece, for example) you can replace it with very thin tissue paper.&#xD;&#xA;   &#xD;&#xA; - If the layers are intact, you can restore the stickiness using&#xD;&#xA;   &quot;repositionable&quot; glue. This is glue that you apply and let dry for a&#xD;&#xA;   minute before putting the sticker back on the piece.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

For my first block purchase, I bought Megablocks because they were cheaper and I foolishly assumed they'd get the job done... let's just say, lesson learned!  I tried to build a simple &quot;house&quot; that was perhaps 5''x5'' and by the time I'd built 3-4 layers of overlapping 2x4 blocks, my creation was falling apart faster than I could build it.  They didn't stick together at ALL - the quality was ridiculously poor.  Suffice it to say, I returned the bricks for a refund.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since then, I've stuck to Lego Duplo blocks and not only can I actually build things without them falling apart, my creations easily withstand a lot of jostling.

You'll need basic LEGO Technic parts and a good length of lightweight string or thread. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Create two reels for the string. One should be connected to the wheels and the other may turn freely. Wind all the string onto the reel which can spin freely and attach the other end securely to the reel on the wheels so that it will wind up the string as the vehicle moves.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This mechanism should prevent the axle from turning after the vehicle has traveled the desired distance as long as you measure the string appropriately.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's an example:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![example vehicle][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's a similar model built in LDD showing exactly how this is put together:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![LDD Model][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The reel on the back axle will pull all of the string off of the center axle and then stop when the string runs out.

There's one in Brisbane, plus Sydney and Melbourne. Even if you are not local it might be worth going into the city to meet up with them and join their email list, because there are people in those groups who regularly tour second hand shops and auctions. If they know you want cheap Duplo then when they find it they're likely to either buy it on your behalf or put you in touch with the seller.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;BrickLink is the other obvious choice. You will rarely find exceptional deals, but you will easily be able to pick out the bricks you want. I suggest making a watch list with the larger bricks on it, and using the &quot;show stores with the most items&quot; link to sort it. Postage can be a killer in Australia, so you'll need to work out for each purchase how much the postage is and whether its worth while. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://www.bricklink.com/browseList.asp?itemType=P&amp;catString=417&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the USA and Europe the Lego shops sell parts to order, and often BrickLink sellers are just marking up what Lego sell them the parts for. So if you are buying new bricks it's worth finding one seller who is cheap and asking whether they can get you everything you want in one order.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another, more difficult option, is to contact The Lego Group directly and see if you can buy a box of bricks. That will take a long time and a lot of effort, but they might eventually be willing to sponsor you." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

To get the most for my money (especially when it comes to avoiding figurines and random pieces that don't suit my purpose), I've been buying large lots of Duplos off of e-bay (all of them are specifically Lego brand - you couldn't pay me to use Mega Bloks or other crummy knock-offs, lol).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Our gliders are our babies and on top of that, I've got high-end breeding pair (ie rare colorings/genetics) and a &quot;pet only&quot; pair that cost a combined total of $1800 - in other words, their safety is a HUGE concern for me and I'm adamant about cleaning and sanitizing any Duplo blocks I buy as soon as they arrive.  Also, gliders can't be potty-trained and inevitably use my Duplo creations as toilets... meaning pee sometimes gets in the crevices between blocks.  To top it off, they scent-mark everything.  As a result, I've got to disassemble the toys I've built and re-wash them 1-2x a week to keep things sanitary.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Like toddlers, gliders tend to &quot;taste test&quot; their toys at times (and even if they don't, they walk all over the Duplo blocks and then eat with their hands and groom themselves with their tongues).  That means I have to use cleaning products that are very safe, yet still effective (particularly when it comes to odor control, as gliders really do stink things up!).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My cleaning method:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The way I've been washing the Lego Duplo and regular Lego blocks is to fill a clean kitchen sink with a 50/50ish mixture of hot water (hottest the tap can provide, that is) and white vinegar, then add the blocks.  I soak them for a few hours or possibly overnight, then scoop them into a large colander, rinse them thoroughly with warm-to-hot water (iirc 104F+ is &quot;unsafe&quot; for Legos; hence why I mix the really hot water and the vinegar together before adding the Legos) and lay them out on towels to dry (inside, with a box fan blowing across them, flipping them over every few hours until they're totally dry).  If anything is particularly soiled, I use the soft (ie non-scrub-pad) side of a clean sponge to give the blocks a gentle scrubbing as they soak in the warm vinegar water; for anything stuck in difficult-to-clean crevices, I use a baby bottle brush.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Vinegar is very popular as an odor eliminator for a WIDE variety of odors.  It was the first and only cleaning method I tried because - despite all the pet odor eliminators and pet cage/habitat cleansers on the market - the vast majority of glider owners stick to a simple 50/50 blend of water and vinegar.  It's very effective for removing urine, feces, scent marking oils, stuck-on (sugary) foods, etc. and all the related odors from glider toys and cages (not to mention bunny and cat litter boxes)... plus it's dirt cheap, gentle, pet (and child) safe and doesn't leave residue behind.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Because I haven't actually had to get cigarette smoke odor off of Legos and wanted to see if I could find some info to back up my hunch that it would work on that as well, I just did a cursory Google search for &quot;remove cigarette smell with vinegar&quot; and got a ton of hits confirming that it's very effective.

As for how hot, I've got no clue what temperature that particular material starts to soften at, but I'd start out with the hottest water you can get from the tap and increase the temp gradually from there if that doesn't work.  According to LEGO, 104F is the maximum &quot;safe&quot; temperature for most of their products, so it may not take as much heat as you might think.  Since it's only a specific area, I'd recommend using kitchen tongs to hold the tire and dip only the area that requires softening in the hot water.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You describe it as both &quot;stretched&quot; and &quot;kinda popped out&quot;... without a photo, it's hard for me to picture what exactly the damage looks like.  If it's to the point where part of the tire is misshapen rather than just stretched, a pair of thick plastic gloves (ie for house-cleaning) might allow you to reshape the damaged area while it's hot enough to be somewhat malleable."

Both gliders travelled between  20 to 30 feet with the Drat Glider with the bigger wingspan going a bit longer.  The wing cross section is more or less flat (one stud tall airfoil) and acting more like an air sail (para glider) than an airfoil. Williams uses Lego Plastic sheets from the Mars Exploration Rover Set to cover the wing (wing cowling).  Reindl uses plastic from garbage bag and tape to cover the wing on his glider.

The Vuurzoon design takes alot of power to fly and uses the power that it is given inefficiently. The only thing going for the Vuurzoon prop design is that it has the most efficient rotor angle to create lift. The Vuurzoon design uses hand power instead of electrical power and thus avoids the low power limitation of Lego electrical motors and battery pack systems.  Lego motors without gearing don't go above 2000 rpm at their set voltage/current level and have a high weight to power ratio which is bad for flying. Going over an 8:1 gearing causes a Lego motor to lose so much power/torque that any propellers slow down due to wind resistance (even the most energy efficient  light weight two blade electrical propellers has this problem).  Lego motors can go a bit faster if pumped with higher current and higher voltage from a non standard non-lego power source (e.g. poly-Lithium +15V power pack) but many believe this will shorten the motor lifespan.  Lego Power Function electrical packs are also too heavy for flight  the lightest battery pack is a Li-ion rechargable pack which weights about 75 grams. The heaviest Lego battery pack is the AA battery pack with alkline batteries which weights 195 grams -  which is enough to sink a two catamaran hull or a large single hulled lego boat.&#xD;&#xA;Standard Lego bricks are too heavy for an heavier-than-air airframe .

Both gliders travelled between  20 to 30 feet with the Drat Glider with the bigger wingspan going a bit longer.  The wing cross section is more or less flat (one stud tall airfoil) and acting more like an air sail (para glider) than an airfoil. Williams uses Lego Plastic sheets from the Mars Exploration Rover Set to cover the wing (wing cowling).  Reindl uses plastic from garbage bag and tape to cover the wing on his glider.

This holds (for example) the collar in the middle of Technic pins, allowing them to hold bricks close together.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Unfortunately that hole is big enough for the non-teeth part of the old style 8 tooth gear to slip into. That means that the gear will slip sideways rather than sitting in the centre of a gap, and thus not mesh exactly with other gears. It sits offset, in other words. There's speculation that this allowed it to fall further into plates with holes back in the Expert Builder days, but the reasons have never (AFAIK) been officially disclosed. [This EuroBricks Thread has more discussion and some nice photos][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That feature makes old style 8 tooth gears fairly useless of high torque applications, as they will inevitably slip sideways and the teeth will break.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![technic brick][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The extended teeth on the new gears prevent this from happening, making them much more reliable in high torque applications (and in general). They are also stronger, but not slipping sideways makes them much stronger where it's needed as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I suspect that one reason the extended teeth are not full height is to keept the gears compatible with worm gears. Those cross the teeth at an angle, and if the teeth are too wide the worm gear will hit two teeth on the 8T gear at the same time, making the friction even worse. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=77927&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/XhjyW.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Offsetting as you suggest means that the edges of each brick are resting on the flat top of the brick below. If they needed to link the bricks horizontally they would either use a row of 2xN bricks or a later of plates. Plates would be heavier and more expensive but somewhat stronger, if wall spreading was an issue (which it did not seem to be in the show).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For beams layered plates would be ideal, possibly in a traditional C or I beam shape, with something to hold the layers of plates together. The easy option there is a layer of Technic bricks top and bottom with Technic liftarms or beams linking them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For catenary members (like suspension bridge &quot;cables&quot;) I'd follow the teams in Australia who have obviously done a lot of research and experimentation, and go with Technic liftarms joined with half-width liftarms and axles.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If instead you're looking at a MythBusters-style giant Lego ball and you want that to stay intact as it rolls then many layers of plates would be useful (the MythBusters ball was made of big Lego-brick bricks, IIRC about 24x48 studs and perhaps 10 or 12 layers tall. It fell apart quickly (and so did not do much damage to anything). For that you would probably also want to use some technic bricks with axles linking them to make internal 3D tension members to hold it together.

I teach my students, in principle, not to backdrive the output shaft of a gearbox, motor/gearbox, or servo/gearbox unless they know what's inside of it because you can damage the unit. I use a variety of different robots in my class so what I'm explaining applies to gear drives in general.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you grasp the orange output shaft on an NXT motor (servo/gearbox) and rotate it, it rotates quite easily. You can tell it's going to rotate as soon as a small force is exerted. The NXT motor is really a servomotor and gearbox combination and the geartrain is inside the housing. I know from experience that Lego allows you to backdrive the NXT motor.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Read the following thoroughly before trying - if you break anything, it's your fault!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Backdrive Experiment:&#xD;&#xA;Build a drive axle extension that is attached to the drive end of an NXT motor so that you can add some gear reduction. Place an axle through the orange output shaft and then slide an 8 tooth gear onto the axle. Now, mount an axle with a 40 tooth gear onto the extension you've built. You want the 8 tooth gear to drive the 40 tooth gear. A good design will support both sides of the axles and gears.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Make sure the gear alignment and mesh are correct. The gear ratio of this combination is 40/8 or 5:1. You multiply this gear ratio, times the gear ratio of the NXT Motor (servo/gearbox) to get the final drive ratio. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Careful here, you can break something!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, apply force incrementally and try to rotate the 40 tooth gear or a small wheel attached to its axle. You won’t' break the gears inside the NXT motor, but you may damage the motor housing, gears, axles, and structure parts. Depending on how well you built the drive axle extension and whether you try to rotate the axle/wheel or 40 tooth gear, you will have surprising results if you have never done this before. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Additionally, some robot gearboxes have worm gears which prevent backdriving by design. Trying to backdrive a gearbox with worm gears will break it. The worm gearbox is useful in a robotic arm so that when power is not applied to the motor, the arm won't fall down. The OWI 535 Robotic Arm Edge uses worm gears and regular gears in its motor/gearboxes. Clutches are used in each motor/gearbox to prevent overload or backdriving that will break the gears.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you need a picture of how to design the drive axle extension and geartrain, let me know.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

While this was great to play all sort of different board games and they made a very good effort to ensure they were always complete, I have some memories of [one particular game](http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/361/hare-tortoise) which smelled kinda funny. We liked the game though, so we played it quite often, but it did smell funny.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So that would be one thing to be wary of - how exactly do they sanitize blocks? How do they deal with blocks which are rented to smokers, or people with pets (considering some people are allergic, it's a very valid question). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course inventory of the set would tend to be an issue too - as a matter of fact, they did have a few LEGO sets at said toy library, and I can tell you they were far from complete (since the library was at the school, we could sometimes play with the toys when waiting for our parents, or something like that; in any case I never rented LEGO sets as I had my own LEGO bricks and the sets weren't complete anyway). In any case, considering how easy it is to lose a LEGO parts, and seeing pleygo claims &quot;No charge for lost pieces&quot;, it's bound to happen a lot that pieces are indeed lost. I assume they'll try to replace them somehow, but I'm extremely curious about how they'd do that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you're willing to try the service, I would at the very least recommand you get answers to these questions (they may be on their site somewhere, I didn't check), and more importantly, check if you can get a trial somehow. It would be nuts to have to pay one full year to realize the service is sub-par.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But in my opinion, it's probably always better to buy sets. Keeping in mind LEGO usually keeps its value rather well, is it wise to pay 15$ a month and not get anything you can keep in return?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;Edit: it seems Pleygo is getting some momentum these days, and I assume the fact they're still in business speaks in their favour. Also, the owners have been kind enough to [answer some questions to Brickset](http://brickset.com/news/article/?ID=8185), which is a very interesting read and provides much needed answers to questions you may have (In particular, cleaning). Still not for me, but it seems they're quite serious and professionnal about it all. They do seem to offer the first month for free, too.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Since the wheels themselves are not exactly the same, you may run into some small issues at points, but it should be OK most of the time - and using RC track wouldn't fully prevent the issue anyway. (If anything, I suspect trains woudl actually derail more on RC track than 12V)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for connecting tracks, it's not impossible but will require some work. You can either place the track as close as possible to each other (usually using a jumper plate as the closest you can get is half a brick away). If you do this in a straight line, the train should have no difficulty rolling on the gap. Another solution would be to cut a RC track piece in half. Of course, LEGO modification is usually not something we discuss a lot here, but there are a lot of people doing track modifications, and usually for much more complicated goals.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In any case, your best bet is probably to have a full 12v layout and then have some RC parts branch off it rather than mix both systems all over the place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I wouldn't say that 12V is superior, to be honest. There are definite advantages: the remote control of points and signals is certainly fantastic, and the more compact point design makes for more interesting layouts, especially in stations.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, the setup is longer, parts are more fragile (which was true even when the parts were new) so you don't want to change your layout too often (from a kid's point of view, RC or 9V is much much more easier for that; track geometry isn't always easy to manage (even something as simple as using a pair of points around a 90° turn won't work) (while RC now has the flex-track which basically mean you won't have any geometry problems at all any longer); electric contacts are notoriously hard to maintain in good state (especially if you need to clean up all the electric track inserts you have).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All in all, using 12V is great if you have some, but I wouldn't bother pursuing it and trying to acquire new parts. The good thing is, if you're going to have both together, you'll get a better opinion yourself of how good they play together. In time, you could also consider abandoning 12V altogether, and if you want to go as far as reselling your collection, it shouldn't be a problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Frankly, the main issue with RC is the lack of automated points, but even for that there are custom solutions, even [pneumatic ones](http://www.blokbricks.com/contents/en-us/p104.html). Signals can't be used with non-conductive track either (using 12V signals on 9V tracks would be very easy though); but with a RC train I'm not sure that makes a lot of sense."

Had the steel in the main cables stayed the same strength, then the towers for the  AKB would then had to have been at least 150 feet higher.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here is a link to photos of two lego bridges I've built: http://www.flickr.com/photos/suspensionstayed/sets/72157610808577323/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It is not like snapping and unstapping bricks, however it can be done a couple of times with no ill side-effects.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In my experience the most times you can replace an arm on a minifigure without making the connection permanently damaged is 3. Maybe 4 times if you are lucky and you find an arm that is very tight.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Best is to take care of minifigures carefully. Constantly moving their joints will make those connection loose. If you are working on things like stop-motion videos where you are frequently adjusting the joints, it is best to use cheap minifigures. You can still play with more valuable minifigures, but it is best not to constantly move their arm around. Arms get loose faster than legs, so while you can put the minifigure in sitting, standing, running position many times before the joint will get loose, arms a a bit more delicate."

Precision is important, but usually it's good enough.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, if you want to count parts manually, an easy way is to spread them and set apart the ones you've counted, per group of 3 or 4 - and count the groups, not the parts. Taking the example of the friction pegs, you'd spread them, then push 4 aside and count 1, then 4 again and count 2, and so on. After you count 20, you should have 2 left. Note that usually the remainder is enough to get an idea of what's missing or not; so the count part is nearly optional - if there are two pegs left at the end, it could be that 4 are missing, but the likeliness of that is lower. Or, you could do it twice: once with groups of 4, the second time with groups of 5 - both times you need to end up with 2 left. Basically, you just use modulo arithmetic to check only the reminder; which is like the &quot;proof by nine&quot; - it doesn't prove your result is correct, but catches most errors."

Learning how to build studless and basic Lego mechanisms will be more useful than robotics (initially). Buy the bigger sets as they have more parts and lower price per part (typically). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;50-100 quid a month is quite healthy. Once established, Lego has a pretty low maintenance cost (If you don't want every set).

Sets produced by LEGO with only the branding of the oil company and without any LEGO branding on the package. These were used as promotional items by the oil company.&#xD;&#xA; 2. Sets produced as promotional items and distributed through the stations of the oil company that had both LEGO branding and the name/logo of the oil company&#xD;&#xA; 3. Sets sold in the LEGO catalog and regular retail stores that included oil company names and logos&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the first category were the [1:87 vehicle models LEGO produced for Esso in 1955][1]. These were given away at Esso stations with a 3-liter minimum purchase of fuel. The packaging was a printed cardboard box featuring the Esso brand and its &quot;oil-drop&quot; man mascot. The LEGO name appeared only on the underside of the model. Because these sets did not have prominent LEGO branding, it is possible Esso simply contracted with LEGO to produce them and purchased them directly from LEGO.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Promotional packaging for the 1250 Bedford Esso truck made by LEGO. Image via Gary Istok][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At the same time Esso was giving these LEGO-made models away, however, LEGO was also selling them in its catalog with co-branded packaging:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Retail packaging for the 1250 Bedford Esso truck model. Image via bricklink.com ][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In a typical license agreement, a company will pay an agreed amount to use another company's trade name and logo on its products. The agreement will usually indicate what products will carry the logo and the length of time the agreement is in effect. Since it appears LEGO was producing sets for Esso at the same time it was using Esso's logo on sets it sold to the public, there *may* have been a reciprocal agreement between the companies where LEGO &quot;traded&quot; its truck models for the license to use the Esso logo on its retail sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the second category are sets like [1255 Shell Car Wash][4]. These were LEGO sets with the Shell brand that were sold only through Shell stations and not made available in the LEGO catalog or at regular retail stores. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![1255 Shell Car Wash box.

Since both companies stood to benefit from the arrangement, it is possible they had a reciprocal agreement where LEGO produced exclusive sets for Shell in exchange for license to use the Shell name and logo on retail sets. LEGO stopped producing Shell branded sets in 1992. In 2012, the Shell brand reappeared on some promotional sets like [30190 Ferrari 150 Italia][6], which include the Shell logo as well as several other sponsors of the Ferrari racing team.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the third category are the regular retail sets that have oil company logos and names. All of the Exxon-branded sets fall in this category, as it does not seem LEGO ever produced any exclusive promotional Exxon sets that were sold only through fuel stations. In the case of Exxon, it may be that a regular license agreement was in effect where LEGO paid Exxon for the use of its name and logo for a certain length of time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A typical license agreement also names the geographical areas where the licensed products will be sold. Prior to 1986, LEGO only sold retail Shell products in the UK, Europe and Australia. It is likely their agreement with Shell only covered these geographical areas. [From 1986 to 1992 Shell-branded sets became available in the United States][7], suggesting that the license agreement was expanded around 1986. [Exxon-branded sets were sold only in the United States from 1979 to 1982][8].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With the exception of some promotional sets, LEGO stopped using actual oil company names and logos on its sets in 1992 when it introduced the fictional [Octan brand][9]. At that time it appears Shell was the only oil company LEGO had an active license agreement with. It is likely its agreement with Shell had expired and the two companies agreed not to renew it. The switch to Octan has obvious advantages to LEGO as it is not restricted by any license agreements as to where the products can be sold or which products carry the logo.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?S=250-2&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/HSJj6.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/fIwr3.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?S=1255-1&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/L6nx5.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?S=30190-1&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/Shell&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/Exxon&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/Octan" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The LEGO name appeared only on the underside of the model.

By observing this photo of 52 flex track pieces arranged in a circle, we can estimate that each piece can create an angle of about 7 degrees.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Image via eurobricks.com][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This seems to be sharper than the average usage, however, and may be placing stress on the pieces. The LDraw version of the flex track depicts it flexing at a maximum angle of about 5.5 degrees:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![flexible LEGO train track][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In addition, the flexible track has a slot in which the train wheels run which is 10 LDU (LDraw Units) wide. By observation, I estimate that a single set of train wheels can be rotated by about 6 degrees within these slots before they bind. That would be the theoretical upper limit of the angle a train car of &quot;zero&quot; length (that is, with just one set of wheels) could be rotated and still move forward through the track.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So with that estimate, we need to look at the curved section of track above and measure the angle a train car would be rotated from the straight position for various sections of the track. Fortunately, rather than being a smooth curve the flex track is really several straight sections of about 72 LDU on the inside (i.e. sharpest) curve. That means we can stay within the realm of trigonometry and measure the angles from the outer edge of the straight section to the end of each segment of the inner curve. That takes a little work, but here is what I determined:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From the right edge of the straight section to the center of the second section is an angle of 3.53 degrees.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From the right edge of the straight section to the center of the third section is an angle of 6.45 degrees. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So a car with a wheel base that extends from the right edge of the section to the center of the third section would be rotated at 6.45 degrees, which is just a bit more than our estimated limit of 6 degrees. Using trigonometry we can determine the length of this wheelbase as 183 LDU, which is just over 9 studs. In other words, a car with a wheelbase of 9 studs would probably bind slightly in the slots on the curve above.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As seen in the original question, LEGO has issued train car models with fixed wheels 9 studs apart. Joubarc's observation in his comment above that the caboose model shown does indeed bind slightly would seem to support the estimate of 9 studs as an upper limit of the wheelbase for fixed train wheels.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We can plot out a wheelbase of 10 studs on the curve above to check. That would produce a rotation of about 7.2 degrees, well above our estimated maximum of 6 degrees. It would seem a 9-stud wheelbase is the maximum.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course there is some binding on every curved section, with the power of the motor able to overcome the friction on the wheels. This estimate does not consider the power of the motor.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/pZl6Q.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/7EhTY.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It is basically the same as building with traditional wooden blocks. You won't find a lot of instructions for those either because children just naturally figure out how to stack them to make a tower, a house, a bridge... so you could simply pour out the LEGO bricks and say, &quot;Let's build a house!&quot;, then start stacking bricks to make the walls, leave openings for windows and doors, etc. You can also mix toys and use LEGO to build a castle for example and use Playmobil soldiers to populate it. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The beauty of LEGO is that it is an educational and creative tool. Learning how to free-build with LEGO is one of the greatest joys of this hobby. Most 5-year-olds will much prefer that over following instructions or the designs of others. So you could just look through picture books (or the world outside) and when your child says &quot;Oh, I would like to build a tower like that!&quot;, then get the LEGO out and just build it!...(c: " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The rechargeable battery puts out almost the same voltage  until it's almost flat, and whatever current is required with little voltage drop. Disposable batteries have more voltage, but cheap ones can't supply much current. Expensive ones can supply the current, but cost more. You'd be lucky to get 5 sets of those for the cost of a rechargeable battery.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that the IR controllers / receivers limit the output voltage to 9V and the current to what the motors can cope with,so there's a limit to how much performance you can get out of the system. But disposable batteries will sit at 9V at least initially, where the rechargeable battery will drop from nearly 8V to 6V as it discharges. If you buy expensive lithium single-use AAA batteries they will cope with the high currents demanded by the Lego motors for longer, so you will get better performance than any other option, but at considerable cost.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[This thread on Eurobricks][1] has a lot of detail, and there's [more here][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The third option is to build your own battery packs. Either just by plugging &quot;random&quot; batteries into the IR receiver, or by modifying a Lego battery pack to take different cells. It's apparently fine to put three lithium rechargeable cells in series into one, or 8-9 NiMH ones. If you start with a 6AA battery box it's easy to fit 8 AAA NiMH cells in, or either box can be modified to accept three LiIon cells (you need the right size cells, obviously). Some of the Technic builders are just making packs with three 18650 cells and not worrying about making it look like Lego, but there are quite a few who build extra cells into official battery packs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=45963&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=41779" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

You didn't explicitely address this in your question, but even with AAA batteries, you can either use disposable batteries or rechargeable ones.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The cost of using disposable batteries can very fast become prohibitive, but rechargeable ones tend to cost more upfront (especially if you need a charger as well). Even there, you have several options, including &quot;stay-charged&quot; batteries which you may want to consider if you need the train to be available as soon as you want it instead of having to recharge the batteries prior to using it, which can take a long time especially if you don't have enough chargers for all batteries at the same time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So the first thing is to consider if you're already using rechargeable batteries for other things - if you already have a good charger or two and enough AAA batteries, you'll of course want to start with that and judge if it's enough for you. If you don't have any chargers or batteries, then I'd recommend to start with the official LEGO battery right away, as the cost difference won't be that high. Of course, if you're somewhere in between (say you have chargers but no AAA batteries), you'll have to ponder which route is better.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another factor which may influence you is the convenience. Using AAA batteries and chargers can be cumbersome (again, especially if you've not enough chargers to charge all 6 batteries at the same time), and even the action of swapping the batteries in the battery box can be annoying. The LEGO battery doesn't need to be removed, usually just removing the train roof is enough.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All in all, I prefer the official LEGO battery; note that you could spare some money on the charger if you manage to find one which is compatible (although it's officially not recommended).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for the battery box itself, either you buy a motorized train and you get one with it; either you want to motorize another train and then it's probably worth it to buy the basic city train anyway to get all electrical parts rather than buy them separately (since you get motor, receiver, battery box, remote control, and tracks, it's usually a better deal even without considering the rest of the parts)."

Also, considering a full kit is usually cheaper than buying all elements in there separately, I believe buying it again is a more interesting thing to do - although I understand the price can be a serious issue, especially if you want to buy the newer EV3 version.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There may be another thing you can try: as you probably know, LEGO has educational programs based on robotics kits, and it could be that a school/college in your area is using these. Try to contact them, and see if they would be willing to either sell you unused parts (maybe because they are upgrading to EV3) or to buy your electronic parts (if they lost or broke some). I'm not sure if you can contact LEGO Education to try to get a list of schools using mindstorms in your area, but it can't hurt to try.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

They were sold both in boxed sets and also loose in special wooden cases at retail stores. During the first year of production, neither the bricks nor the packaging had the LEGO name or logo.

Text="Background info:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I recently started collecting Duplo blocks to build toys for our sugar gliders (small, exotic marsupials); I've also got some regular Lego blocks in the mix that my boyfriend's had for who knows how long.  To get the most for my money (especially when it comes to avoiding figurines and random pieces that don't suit my purpose), I've been buying large lots of Duplos off of e-bay (all of them are specifically Lego brand - you couldn't pay me to use Mega Bloks or other crummy knock-offs, lol).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Our gliders are our babies and on top of that, I've got high-end breeding pair (ie rare colorings/genetics) and a &quot;pet only&quot; pair that cost a combined total of $1800 - in other words, their safety is a HUGE concern for me and I'm adamant about cleaning and sanitizing any Duplo blocks I buy as soon as they arrive.  Also, gliders can't be potty-trained and inevitably use my Duplo creations as toilets... meaning pee sometimes gets in the crevices between blocks.  To top it off, they scent-mark everything.  As a result, I've got to disassemble the toys I've built and re-wash them 1-2x a week to keep things sanitary.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Like toddlers, gliders tend to &quot;taste test&quot; their toys at times (and even if they don't, they walk all over the Duplo blocks and then eat with their hands and groom themselves with their tongues).  That means I have to use cleaning products that are very safe, yet still effective (particularly when it comes to odor control, as gliders really do stink things up!).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My cleaning method:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The way I've been washing the Lego Duplo and regular Lego blocks is to fill a clean kitchen sink with a 50/50ish mixture of hot water (hottest the tap can provide, that is) and white vinegar, then add the blocks.  I soak them for a few hours or possibly overnight, then scoop them into a large colander*, rinse them thoroughly with warm-to-hot water (iirc 104F+ is &quot;unsafe&quot; for Legos; hence why I mix the really hot water and the vinegar together before adding the Legos) and lay them out on towels to dry (inside, with a box fan blowing across them, flipping them over every few hours until they're totally dry).  If anything is particularly soiled, I use the soft (ie non-scrub-pad) side of a clean sponge to give the blocks a gentle scrubbing as they soak in the warm vinegar water; for anything stuck in difficult-to-clean crevices, I use a baby bottle brush and/or q-tips.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Based on a recommendation I saw on this site, I ordered a salad spinner to spin-dry my Duplos and regular Legos (and bunny veggies and dinner salads)... best thing ever - I LOVE it.  GET ONE!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Vinegar is very popular as an odor eliminator for a WIDE variety of odors.  It was the first and only cleaning method I tried because - despite all the pet odor eliminators and pet cage/habitat cleansers on the market - the vast majority of glider owners stick to a simple 50/50 blend of water and vinegar.  It's very effective for removing urine, feces, scent marking oils, stuck-on (sugary) foods, etc. and all the related odors from glider toys and cages (not to mention bunny and cat litter boxes)... plus it's dirt cheap, gentle, pet (and child) safe and doesn't leave residue behind.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Because I haven't actually had to get cigarette smoke odor off of Legos and wanted to see if I could find some info to back up my hunch that it would work on that as well, I just did a cursory Google search for &quot;remove cigarette smell with vinegar&quot; and got a ton of hits confirming that it's very effective.  I then searched specifically for info about using vinegar on Legos and found an article that provides some great tips and additional information on using vinegar to clean/deodorize Legos (and the article really focuses on difficult-to-remove cigarette odors) - http://www.brickwarrior.com/?p=1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Make sure you create a wanted list with all the minifigs you want, then quire by shop to see which seller(s) have all or most of the minifigures you want. You can save significantly this way on shipping.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;eBay is not so good for individual minifigures as the prices tend to be much higher than on BrickLink, however it is still a great place to shop for bulk minifigs. Deals are not as easy to come by as in the past as people have smartened up and most people know the value of LEGO.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would suggest to pick a particular theme to collect and be very specific on what you want to get, otherwise minifigure collecting can get out of hand pretty quickly. There are thousands of minifigures (all listed in the BrickLink catalog) - you can get a good selection for reasonable prices ($3-$5 per minifig), but in some themes having minifigs in the $20-$50 range and more is not uncommon (Star Wars is one of them).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Those little people can quickly take over your vallet.

Bayer has produced a number of [test bricks][1] for LEGO to test clutch (sticking-power) between bricks, new colours and new plastics. Some of these bricks have the usual &quot;LEGO&quot; branding on the studs, whereas others are unbranded, have a single letter on the studs instead - a letter which indicates the clutch strength of the brick.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;An article on [The Brick Blogger][2] has more details on these bricks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**OLO**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Back in the 1970s, TLG licensed a Japanese company called Fujisho Co. to make LEGO type sets for the Japanese market, which were in many ways similar to the Italian Minitalia sets. The packaging and instructions carried the OLO brand name, and the bricks themselves had a &quot;backwards K&quot; logo on the studs. Parts packs were advertised for use with OLO, and these were regular LEGO bricks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For more information, see [this post on Eurobricks][3], and [this series of slides][4] about 1970-78 LEGO OLO sales in Japan.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://thebrickblogger.com/2011/05/lego-bayer-test-strikes/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://thebrickblogger.com/2011/05/lego-bayer-test-strikes/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=81168&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.youblisher.com/p/601177-CHAPTER-75-OLO-EARLY-TLG-PRODUCED-LEGO-FOR-JAPAN/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

For example, here is their collection of Batman figures:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Screenshot of Brickset minifig gallery][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Pros: Free to browse. Very good quality. Well-organized.&lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;Cons: Far from complete.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2) [BrickLink][3] has a fairly thorough catalog of almost every part and minifig ever made, and they have individual photos of most of the minifigures, for example:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Screenshot of Bricklink minifig][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Pros: It's free to browse.

Organization and naming are not always obvious when looking for a specific figure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3) [The Unofficial Minifigure Catalog][5]. This is a series of catalogs that attempt to document every minifigure ever produced. It's available as a [printed book through Amazon][6] (~70 USD), as a [PDF e-book through Lulu][7] (25 USD), and as a smartphone app. Here's a sample page, taken from Amazon's &quot;Look Inside&quot; feature:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Screenshot of Unofficial Minifigure Catalog page][8]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Pros: High quality photos, thorough, well-organized.&lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;Cons: Costs money.

I was able to duplicate her results, so can validate it does work. It is really a modification of a [bamboo copter](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamboo-copter).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Glider design**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Daron Williams (via Drat Glider) and Milan &quot;grohl&quot; Reindl from Czech Republic have both reported making working/flying Lego gliders using mainly Technic cross-axles components.  Both gliders travelled between  20 to 30 feet with the Drat Glider with the bigger wingspan going a bit longer.  The wing cross section is more or less flat (one stud tall airfoil) and acting more like an air sail (paraglider) than an airfoil. Williams uses Lego Plastic sheets from the Mars Exploration Rover Set to cover the wing (wing cowling).  Reindl uses plastic from garbage bag and tape to cover the wing on his glider. I have made my own Lego glider using the plastic from Lego store bags as my wing canvas using similar construction techniques as Williams and Reindl . My preliminary indoor flying test validate the results by Williams and Reindl.  Milan Reindl is now a Lego Group junior designer (you can see his profile on [Lego Technic Designer Profile][1]).  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/1769&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CQcCoZ9rcY&#xD;&#xA;  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**The Challenge:** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lego does not make a quality aerial propeller or water/hydrodaulic screw-prop with a fuel efficient power stroke. The Vuurzoon design takes a lot of power to fly and uses the power that it is given inefficiently. The only thing going for the Vuurzoon prop design is that it has the most efficient rotor angle to create lift. The Vuurzoon design uses hand power instead of electrical power and thus avoids the low power limitation of Lego electrical motors and battery pack systems.  Lego motors without gearing don't go above 2000 rpm at their set voltage/current level and have a high weight to power ratio which is bad for flying. Going over an 8:1 gearing causes a Lego motor to lose so much power/torque that any propellers slow down due to wind resistance (even the most energy efficient  light weight two blade electrical propellers has this problem).  Lego motors can go a bit faster if pumped with higher current and higher voltage from a non standard non-lego power source (e.g. poly-Lithium +15V power pack) but many believe this will shorten the motor lifespan.  Lego Power Function electrical packs are also too heavy for flight  the lightest battery pack is a Li-ion rechargable pack which weights about 75 grams. The heaviest Lego battery pack is the AA battery pack with alkline batteries which weights 195 grams&amp;nbsp;— which is enough to sink a two catamaran hull or a large single hulled lego boat.&#xD;&#xA;Standard Lego bricks are too heavy for an heavier-than-air airframe. The lightest lego parts are the technic axles followed by the half width technic beams&amp;nbsp;— both are only semi-ridge so some bracing is need if air frame rigidity is required. In order to get&#xD;&#xA;a battery pack light enough and with sufficient voltage levels to fly as part of the aircraft&amp;nbsp;— Lego needs to have to Lithium polymer battery pack kicking out between 18vdc to 30vdc&amp;nbsp;— at those voltage levels the mini hi RPM motors used on Quadcopters and helicopter toys can start to be posssible.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Analysis of other attempts&#xD;&#xA;--------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Lego Quadcopter**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are several efforts to use Lego to make the frame of a quadcopter and uses a non lego high speed lightweight motors, hi powered batteries, and electric propeller. The high speed  motors usually run at 3400 to 15000 rpm @ 13 to 30 vdc and are very light weight. In addition it is using a non lego Poly-Lithium power pack some output as high as 30vdc even with heavy current drains. Some are using a Arudino microprocessor like device for remote communication. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkrTJh0H1fs&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://robotsquare.com/2012/03/02/flying-lego/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://tinkernology.blogspot.com/2010/08/lego-nxt-quadcopter-no-really.html&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://www.suasnews.com/2012/12/20276/drone-made-of-lego-takes-flight/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Lego NXT Blimp-Airship**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A lighter than air Lego Airship which was made by The Lego Group for a European Lego show/convention&amp;nbsp;— uses Lego education propellers (from the renewable energy kit) and standard Lego motors and power supply. Prototype (non-commerical, custom made) helium balloons are used to create a neutral buoyancy so that the propellers can create lift and push the airship forward.  The Lego airship (called the C5) was demonstrated in an auditorium/stadium with a very high ceiling (there is no wind of any kind that the Airship would have to overcome).    &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GefwcBUioAE&#xD;&#xA;  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.lego.com/en-us/technic/technicfan/bios/milan-reindl" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

At any given time, the LEGO company can only produce a finite number of different elements and sets. As older sets stay in production, they would mean that less new sets can be produced, and the same goes for parts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as parts are concerned, TLC pushes very hard toward a consistent parts system, and new parts are usually more functionnal or versatile than older ones. Again, the number of parts currently in production being limited, this means TLC has to retire older parts to make room for newer ones. While staple parts have a good chance of returning if their is a need for them, there is virtually no chance that older systems such as old train tracks, monorail tracks or samsonite gears would return. Considering old train tracks were much more fragile and aren't fully compatible with newer track, it wouldn't make sense to produce them again.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Gev's argument makes a lot of sense too: what you may perceive as &quot;hot item&quot; may in fact only have value because of its rarity and appeal to older fans. While a reissue in small production runs may work, I doubt TLC is willing to try this on a full scale. Keep in mind their goal is to run a profitable business, and selling big numbers of new sets probably works better - and don't forget their target audience is kids at the toy store, not adults on eBay. Actually, TLC tried at some point to reissue older sets (&quot;Legends&quot;) and the very fact they don't do that anymore tells me that it didn't fare too well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All in all, I'm fairly confident that TLC knows what &quot;will definitely benefit&quot; them way better than we can imagine ourselves.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Of course, for parts which aren't produced yet, the prices is much higher, but how higher depend on a lot of factors (whether the part exists but not in that color, whether the parts fit well in the system, and so on). Design teams may also want to bargain with other teams to have them support the cost development of a new part. Licensed themes may have a different cost structure because the licensees are sometimes willing to pay for a new part if it makes the model more realistic (most good hairdos come from licenses nowadays).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Once the designer has a model ready (it'll undergo quite a few tweaks along the way, of course), they'll hand it to another team which will be responsible for making sure the model can be built by kids, and possibly tweak it some more to make the instructions clearer (ever noticed why some hidden bricks have sometimes unexpected colors?). These guys do use computers, and they'll make the instructions as well; but in the meantime the designers are busy on their next model." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

There were talks a few years back about how they had recently changed these rules, but they aren't public (to the best of my knowledge).

Similarly for parts exposed to cigarette smoke or other toxic substances. If you check Bricklink, for example, many sellers of second hard parts say &quot;smokefree household&quot; as an advertising claim.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Careful cleaning with things that don't damage the Lego would normally increase the value, but not enough to cover the cost of doing it (otherwise more online sellers would say &quot;all parts washed before sale&quot;). Most Lego is kept pretty clean, except for smoke damage as noted above.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have preciously sold Lego that I bought in a big, foul-smelling bin after washing it to remove the smell. The smell was slight rancid, slightly just &quot;house that is never cleaned&quot; musty/mouldy. So I used laundry detergent and warm water, soaking and agitating over a day or so, then rinsed a couple of times and dried in the shade. The smell disappeared, I sold most of the bricks (I bought the lot for some specific parts). I removed all the transparent parts before cleaning, and carefully hand-washed each transparent part specifically to avoid visible scratches. But the scratches from the general washing seem likely to be less than the scratches from normal keeping Lego in a big bin and carrying that around. I didn't see any obvious new damage, at least.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I suspect but have not tried that machine washing would cause more damage. Bag washing in a dishwasher or washing machine will involve more agitation and possibly hotter water than the hand-washing I've done. If I was going to do this I'd try it first on a bag of low-value Lego. AFOL groups often have a supply of very low-value bricks from people who regularly buy bulk lots of second hand Lego, so it would be worth asking around for how they clean it or whether they'd be willing to donate some bricks for your experiments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have heard of people deliberately using reactive chemicals to &quot;clean&quot; bricks in a damaging way. Normally this is done with old white Lego that has yellowed with age. Oxygen free radical cleaners will restore the whiteness, but make the Lego brittle. Doing that would definitely lower the value of the Lego.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I am assuming here that everyone involved is honest - obviously if you do use harsh cleaners but don't tell buyers that's not going to affect the value until the buyers discover the problem, and then only if they have some way of telling future buyers about your actions."

The patina is an indication of the coin's age, and supports its authenticity. Removing any of the patina through cleaning reduces the value because it removes this sign of its authenticity. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Cleaning LEGO pieces does not affect their value in the same way it does coins. It is generally accepted that used pieces will have some small scratches and will have lost some of the shine of new pieces. Unless the scratches are deep enough to be seen easily or the piece is damaged, these incidental small scratches have little effect on the value of used pieces or sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;LEGO pieces do not scratch one another, although they may cause scuffs (which can be removed). Scratches are caused by substances that are harder than the ABS plastic LEGO pieces are made from. This is usually dirt and dust that contain small particles of grit. This can settle on the pieces and scratch them as they are handled. Many pieces are played with on the floor, where they pick up grit and can be rubbed into carpet or flooring that contains abrasive particles.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Cleaning them can remove this abrasive grit and reduce further scratching, but aggressive rubbing can cause more scratching. When I clean pieces, I like to let them soak in warm water and mild soap for several hours - overnight usually - with no scrubbing and just a gentle mixing around of the pieces. Then I drain the water and rinse them until there are no soap suds and spread them out in a single layer on a clean towel to air dry. This will get all but the most dirty pieces clean.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For pieces that are very dusty, I will soak them then run them under a tap and use the water pressure to clean off as much dust as possible. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For pieces with dried-on dirt or other substances, you need to scrape it off with something softer than the plastic, like a fingernail, or try using the thin edge of a brick separator which is the same type of plastic."

The EV3 sensor is much more complicated, but the main difference is that it switches the 2k2 resistor between pins 4 and 6. I converted the NXT sensor to be EV3 compatible, by removing the existing 2k2 resistor, shorting pins 3 and 5, adding a 910 ohm resistor between pin 3 and 1, and changing the switch to switch the 2k2 resistor between pins 4 and 6. It is now detected and works fine. Why this sensor isn’t compatible I’m not sure, but the EV3 input ports are definitely different from the NXT to some degree.

I stumbled across a youtube vid of a child explaining his method, and mine was built off of his.  His idea is to take labels, cut them into tiny pieces that are stuck onto the arm at the point where it connects into the torso. This works, all too well. Here's the problem. The arms get incredibly tight, as a result of there being too much pressure. This pressure slowly puts stress on the torso, and within weeks you will notice the modified figures busting open at the seem off the torso. This is generally on the sides, at the base, and it slowly cracks it's way up to the armpit permanently destroying your figures. I found this out the hard way when 10 of my superhero figures were destroyed. Still, I am thankful bcuz this lead to my discovery. Once the figures had been destroyed, I quickly removed the labels from all the others I had done, to stop them from suffering the same fate. What I realized was that once the arms had been doctored, after removing the label (I used small pieces of a cat hair roller, and I'd advise you use this bcuz I'm not sure labels are sticky enough) the arms retained Their clutch. This is a result of the stickiness staying with the arms after the sticky paper/cat roller material had been removed, but it feels like a perfect arm. The clutch is there, and you will not have to worry about the torso crackng. So now that you know, don't make the same mistake I did. This is what I would advise. 1.) Remove the loose arm. 2.) cut a small square off the cat roller. 3.) place It on the connected part of the loose arm. 4.)insert it Into a torso that you have double of, or don't care about. 5.) set it down, and wait an hour. 6.) remove the arm, take off the sticky paper. 7.) carefully inset arm back into the original torso. Now you have a perfect arm. It has amazing clutch, and best of all because the clutch comes from a sticky texture instead of immense pressure, your torsos will stay intact."

In Australia we have a variety of bins about the size of a milk crate or beer crate (about 12&quot; by 9&quot;, from back in the day when those units were relevant). The modern plastic equivalents with solid walls and floor will hold a 48 square baseplate quite well, and are designed to stack.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A search for [plastic storage container canada][1] suggests that there are chain stores in Canada that sell things like this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The other solution is to make (or have made) some wooden boxes. A woodworker will be able to cut 6mm or 9mm plywood up and make whatever size box you want and reinforce them a little so they can be stacked. Then you buy chunks of foam and cut them to suit your models. Or just make &quot;bricks&quot; in a range of sizes to pack around random models. The advantage of this is that you get boxes exactly the right size for your models. Using cut to shape foam rather than foam peanuts means that any small parts that fall off are easier to find. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When putting multiple models in one container I prefer to put each in a plastic bag, again so that any parts that come off are easy to find and are associated with a specific model. Opening a big box with several models in it and finding a layer of small parts in the bottom is disheartening not to mention tedious to fix.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.google.com.au/search?q=plastic%20storage%20container%20canada" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

So, the Caboose you've mentioned will work perfectly with the track supplied with the Cargo Train. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are a couple of exceptions to this rule:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Duplo track isn't the same gauge as LEGO track, so you shouldn't expect it to work ([although you can usually get away with it anyway][1]).&#xD;&#xA; - There are now two gauges of LEGO track, the traditional &quot;L-Gauge&quot; track and a newer narrow gauge. They are, obviously, incompatible.&#xD;&#xA; - Trains that were not designed to run on rails obviously won't run on rails. Sadly, this includes the unmodified [Ghost Train (9467)][2].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Electrical components are a different matter. Trains that need a powered rails obviously won't work unless they're running on compatible track. So, the old mains-powered 4.5V, 12V and 9V engines won't work on modern track unless you replace the motor (which can be non-trivial).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Most battery powered trains will be fine on all types of track, although the very early trains had small teeth on their [wheels][3] to give them traction against corresponding notches in early track. Although they'll certainly fit the modern track, you might find that they don't run very well unless you swap the wheels.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Couplings**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The couplings on LEGO trains have always been at the same height, so there are no problems there. The bottom line, then, is that the couplings on the Caboose will work well with the Cargo Train.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The magnetic couplings are generally compatible with each other, so you won't have any problem there, either. The first magnetic couplings were polarised - north and south (red and blue) - so you had to make sure the wagons were the right way around on the track. 9V era trains had magnets that flip round, so they would work whichever way around they were, and were completely compatible with older polarized couplings. The very latest couplings don't swivel in the same way, but are [reportedly][4] backward-compatible with all older couplings.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Of course, the early non-magnetic couplings are incompatible with the magnetic ones, but can usually be replaced with a magnetic coupling without too much difficulty.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The one problem that some people have encountered with magnetic couplings is that they don't always hold together if the wagons are too heavy. This can happen if your train is too long, for example.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**TL;DR**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Caboose will work well with the Cargo Train.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/1534/do-regular-lego-trains-fit-onto-duplo-tracks&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://brickset.com/sets/9467-1&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=wheel1a&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=47539" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I have noticed the black printing will start to fade if the bricks are left in the solution for a long time.

I have never seen the treatment completely erase any printing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The length of time it takes the solution to start breaking down the ink is going to vary with the strength of the solution, the time in the solution and the amount of UV light. You can control the first two variables, but if you are using sunlight to provide the UV it is difficult to gauge or control. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The easiest variable to control is time. I would leave the bricks in the solution for perhaps an hour at a time, then take them out, rinse them off in water and dry them. Keep one of the yellowed bricks as a &quot;control&quot; against which you can compare the treated brick to get an idea of how much color has changed. Repeat as necessary until the brick is back to the color you want or you notice the ink beginning to fade.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Check the color of the bricks indoors.

Before 1958, *none* of the bricks had tubes inside, though as gev points out, some of the larger bricks had horizontal cross beams. In 1958, Lego applied for a patent for a new design with center posts in the bricks, which allowed for a tighter more stable fit. So, the 1x2 brick without a post is likely a very old lego, and not a specialty piece of some sort. This was certainly not an effort to save plastic, but simply the idea of having a center post hadn't been created yet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/95/how-has-the-basic-brick-changed-over-the-years" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

They continued to distribute CA pieces in sets until their existing supply was exhausted, so during the transition beginning in 1963 both types of pieces were sold in sets. In North America, LEGO pieces were manufactured beginning in 1961 under license by Samsonite, which continued to distribute CA pieces mixed in sets until about 1970.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Distinguishing CA from ABS pieces based on intrinsic criteria is something of an art. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first thing to look for is warping. CA plastic is much more prone to warp than ABS, which is perhaps the main reason the switch was made. If you find an old piece that is warped, odds are it is CA. You can check for warping by placing a piece on a flat surface and checking for any &quot;wobble.&quot; Another good method is to build a simple brick wall with the pieces and look for gaps or poor connections. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Generally CA plastic is much shinier than ABS plastic when it is in good condition. CA pieces will lose the shine with wear, so this is not always possible to see.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are also some tell-tale clues in the colors. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Red CA pieces have more orange than the ABS version.  &#xD;&#xA; - Yellow CA pieces are not as bright as ABS pieces.  &#xD;&#xA; - Blue CA pieces are a brighter shade than the ABS version.  &#xD;&#xA; - Black, white, gray and clear CA pieces are harder to differentiate from ABS. &#xD;&#xA; - Green CA bricks are very scarce, but some green plates are CA.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Lego sells one that can be found [here](http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Accelerometer-Sensor-2852724). There are also aftermarket ones at mindsensors.com.  This allows you to independently measure the acceleration of the robot. You have to then integrate this information twice to get positional change. The way to do this is to put it in your control loop and sum up 0.5*dt*dt*a where a is the accelerometer reading (there will be one for each axis of motion) and dt is the time between samples. This nice thing about this is it gives you absolute displacement. That is it accounts for motions that cancel out so you can set a straight line path back.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can record each displacement into a variable for x and y directions using the servo readings from the motors - remember to reset the encoder value from the servos after each reading. This is harder because you have to account for the geometry of the wheels and keep track of the robot heading - lego also sells a compass sensor if you don't want to deal with finding your heading, but you'll still have to deal with non-spinning turns. It's also prone to accumulation of errors. (the accelerometer is too but not as bad I think.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Your admonition of 'no other helpers' could be interpreted to mean you don't want the first solution in which case you are left with using the encoders and figuring out the differential motion of your chassis design (which may be non trivial)."

Detecting an object with a round surface makes it worse, because the ultrasonic rays end up scattering all over the place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What we (my team and I did) tried to do was to cover up half of each of the sensor's emitting and receiving outlet hole so as to force the ultrasonic rays to travel in straight lines. We also tried taking averages, root mean squares, differentials, integrals and what not of samples instead - but both did little to solve the problem, especially when sensing across distances that are far away (&gt; 100 cm). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We ended up switching to one of Mindsensors' laser based distance sensors."

However, the sensors aren't as reliable as we would like them to be, particularly the ultrasonic sensor, which is what we're using to judge how far away objects are from our robot.  The problem that we face is that every so often the sensor returns a value that is just wrong: in a set of 3 datapoints for an object that is 45 units away, we'd possibly get values like 45, 45, and then 186.  The erroneous values are not consistent, nor is the amount by which the error occurs.  We also can't judge the probability of an erroneous value occurring.  Our current algorithm takes the average of a small number (i.e. 3) of datapoints, but we've realized that if the number of datapoints is small, then the average could be distorted greatly by erroneous values.  If the number of datapoints is large, then it takes a long time for the robot to get all of the sensor readings.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What do you recommend as a process to reduce the impact of erroneous sensor readings?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm sorry if I'm posting this question in the wrong location, but this problem seemed more closely linked to mathematics than to programming.

The bricks themselved did not have LEGO printed on them.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By 1952 the Automatic Binding Bricks sets started having the LEGO logo (the small fancy one used on TLG wooden toys) in the lower right corner as an added decal, but continued having Automatic Binding Bricks on the box top.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then in late 1952 they added &quot;LEGO Mursten&quot; to the top of the box (instead of a decal), but continued with the Automatic Binding Bricks box logo.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It wasn't until 1953 that a new box design came out with just &quot;LEGO Mursten&quot;.  Since &quot;Mursten&quot; is the same word for building bricks in Danish, Norwegian and Swedish, as those countries came online to LEGO sales (Nov. 1953 for Norway, Mar. 1955 for Sweden) they also had LEGO Musten on the box top (although some early Norway sets had Automatic Binding Bricks on the boxes).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then in late 1955 LEGO boxes started having new box designs with &quot;LEGO System of Play&quot; in the local language on the box tops.  German LEGO sales started in March 1956, with Switzerland and Netherlands coming online in early 1957.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Boxes had &quot;System i leg&quot; for Denmark, &quot;System i lek&quot; for Sweden/Norway, &quot;System im Spiel&quot; for Germany/Austria, Systeem bij het Spel&quot; for Netherlands, and &quot;System im Spiel&quot;/&quot;System dans le jeu&quot; for Switzerland.  By the time Belgium and Portugal came online at the end of 1957, the decision was to switch to international &quot;LEGO System&quot;. The countries already in the local languages had their boxes switch over to the international writing by 1960 (everyone else was done by 1959, but Denmark was the last holdout by 1960).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When the first bricks (2x2 and 2x4 sizes) were introduced (as Automatic Binding Bricks) in 1949, they had no LEGO markings anywhere on the bricks.  By 1953 the first bricks had &quot;LEGO&quot; printed only on the hollow underside of the brick.  In 1953 1x2 and 2x3 bricks were also introduced, only only found with the logo on the underside.  In 1954 the 2x8 and 2x10 bricks were introduced, and the 4x4 corner, (shortlived) 2x12 and 2x14 bricks, and 1x1 round and square bricks were introduced in January 1955.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then by mid 1955, the new Town Plan series of specialty parts (including 4 types of macaroni bricks, 1x6/1x8 bricks with and without names) and large LEGO plates were introduce.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first LEGO baseplates were 10x20 size... introduced in 1950 in a 1/2 brick thickness.  By 1953 the thin 10x20 was replaced by a 1 brick tall baseplate, and produced for many years.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Gary Istok&#xD;&#xA;(Information used in my Unofficial LEGO Sets/Parts Collectors Guide (1949-1990s), confirmed by TLG Archives in Billund."

For a turn, it will not come close.  Even getting the center of rotation of the turning robot will be difficult.  The tracks will have to slip.  A tracked robot can not turn without those tracks slipping.  Differences in friction will alter the turn. More weight on the left or right, front or back of the robot will alter the turn.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Even abandoning the tracks for wheels is not guarantee that the math of how much the robot should turn will match reality.

However, the brick will only run part of the program and then generate a strange error code on the brick's screen.  The error contains no text, only symbols.  The symbol appears as a triangle with an exclamation point on it, and right next to it is an imitation of programming blocks from the EV3 programming software.  Does anyone know what this symbol means, and what to do about it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After further experimentation, I have narrowed down the possibilities.  Both MyBlocks that cause the on-brick error contain loops that are configured to loop until a logic variable becomes true.  One of these MyBlocks that has that loop contains more blocks after the loop, but the error comes and the program stops before these instructions are executed.  Still unable to provide a picture, but does someone know why the EV3 does not like logic loops?" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The first is a program called [Dolphin][1] which you can download [here][2]. It works very well, as you can see in this image of Yoshi:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Yoshi Lego Sculpture][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The downside to this program is that it only runs on Macs, and the output format is a series of images, one for each layer. So you can't import it into MLCAD or your favorite Lego building software. I was looking for something that uses the [.ldr format][4].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another program is [LSculpt][5]. This worked okay but I couldn't seem to get great results.&#xD;&#xA;I'll been using a 3D model of [Nautilus][6] for my examples. Here is a picture of the LSculpt results:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Nautilus Lego Sculpture][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The **black** version was created from [**LSculpt**][8] and the **blue** version was creating using my **alternate method**. It is also worth mentioning there is another technique, a [3ds Max][9] script called [Legolizer][10]. Unfortunately, I don't have 3ds Max so that wasn't an option for me. I wanted to do this using only open source software on Windows. Here is how you do it:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Step 1 - Scale your 3D model ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You need to scale your model down by a factor of `.833`. I used MeshLab and the process that it described in the [Dolphin manual][11].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Step 2 - Convert a 3D model into a binvox file ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is done using a program called `binvox.exe`. You can read about it and find the download link on this [minecraft wiki][12]. All you need to do is to download `binvox.exe` and then copy your 3D model into that folder. Open command prompt, `cd` into that folder, and run a command that looks something like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    binvox nautilus.obj -d 128 -rotz -rotz&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;`nautilus.obj` is the name of my 3D model, `-d 128` specifies the size (128 x 128 x 128 voxels), and `-rotz` and `-rotx` will rotate the model. **You will have to experiment to get the right rotation, or your bricks won't face up at the end.** You might want to start with `-d 32` to speed up the process until you get the orientation right, which you won't find out until the end. The output from this is a file with the name `nautilus.binvox`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Step 3 - Install Cygwin (optional if you know what you're doing) ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would recommend installing [cygwin][13] for the following steps, since that is what I used, but you don't necessarily need it. You just need a way to run `c++` and `Perl` programs. When you install it you can select packages, make sure you install the package named `perl` and the package named `gcc-g++`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Step 4 - Convert the binvox file to a readable txt file using `read_binvox` ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Download [this][14] program called [read_binvox][15]. Make sure it is saved as `read_binvox.cc`. Then copy your `.binvox` file into the same folder. Open Cygwin and `cd` into that folder. Then run&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    g++ read_binvox.cc -o read_binvox&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;to compile the program. Next, you can run it with&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    read_binvox nautilus.binvox&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will create an output file called `voxels.txt`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Step 5 - Convert `voxels.txt` into your .ldr file ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I wrote a program in `Perl` that will convert the `voxels.txt` into a `.ldr` file. Create a new file named `binvox2ldr.pl` in the same directory as your `voxels.txt` file. File it with the contents from [this pastebin][16].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then go back to that directory in cygwin and run the command:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    perl voxels.txt &gt; nautilus.ldr&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This may take a while to run, depending on what size you made the sculpture. The program uses a very basic algorithm for combining bricks together. It may have floating bricks, so I wouldn't recommend just using the parts list from that and expecting a secure, perfect model. But I think it could be a good way to start a design for a sculpture. The script could definitely use some more improvements, but it's a basic start.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Step 6 - Editing and Render ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can use [these instructions][17] from [ldraw.org][18] installing some tools for editing and rendering the sculpture. I used MLCAD to change the color and then rendered it using POV-RAY.

What you are describing is a [Von Neumann Machine][1] and as far as I know nobody succeeded in creating one, not just in LEGO but in general.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The problems you'd have to overcome:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The robot must be capable to exert sufficient force to overcome the clutch power of the LEGO bricks. This could be done with a suitable set of gears. However the gears themselves eat up a lot of the motor's force due to friction. Pneumatics is absolutely out of the question for these parts.&#xD;&#xA; - The robot must be capable of positioning the LEGO pieces with sufficient accuracy. I have no hard data available on the precision of the various LEGO actuators (motors, pneumatics, linear actuators, what else?) but in my previous LEGO experience electric motors can be tricky to program to operate with enough precision, but it can be done with enough testing and refining iterations for a given physical design. Again, gearing down would in theory help a lot, but all gears have some inaccuracy. LEGO gears are not among the most precise ones. You could easily test this by linking about a dozen cogwheels together in a chain, holding one end tight and testing how much can the other end of the chain rotate. Pneumatics are also out here, you can't get them to stop reliably anywhere but the end positions.&#xD;&#xA; - The robot must be capable of picking up, holding and placing every type of LEGO piece it is constructed from. This means either an universal actuator that itself can handle every element or more than one actuator, each specialized for a subset of all elements. The actuator(s) should also be capable of orienting the pieces in 3D space, this requires at least [6 degrees of freedom][2] &#xD;&#xA; - The robot must be capable of finding and distinguishing between different pieces. The hardest version would have the robot sift through a bin full of pieces, but you could &quot;cheat&quot; by letting it use pre-sorted, pre-positioned stacks or queues of individual piece types. Even that would bring many problems, the robot must know which element is where, how high/far is the current part in each stack/queue, etc.&#xD;&#xA; - In the strict sense the robot should transmit it's program to the newly built robot. I'm not familiar with the current lineup of programmable bricks to state confidently whether it is possible at all for a LEGO brick to program another, but even if it's possible it would require some serious programming.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In your examples you can see how complicated, huge and slow can these creations can become. But you can also see how highly does the LEGO community think of these creations, each of which does only a small fraction of your proposed project. I'm not saying that it's impossible, but I don't think it would be an understatement to say that this would be the single biggest achievement in the world of LEGO and in general engineering too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-replicating_machine&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degrees_of_freedom_%28mechanics%29#Six_degrees_of_freedom" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This can be achieved in a few ways:&#xD;&#xA;  - Using the ultrasonic sensor as a sonar, rotating it around and storing the readouts, then calcualting based on the known map of the room (if the layout is fixed and known in advance).&#xD;&#xA;  - Tracking the movements and calculating from the last known position. This method depends on how accurate are the starting data and the measurement of the movement. This also loses accuracy over time.&#xD;&#xA;  - Placing unique markers along the floor or the wall that the robot can read. I don't know how could this be accomplished using LEGO pieces, but I wouldn't say it's impossible to do. However you could mark the two important locations (the green box and the center) to have an easy way to tell if you're at them.&#xD;&#xA; - **Orientation** Your robot should also know which direction is it facing. Most of the above methods offer a way to calculate this, but you could also use a compass sensor.&#xD;&#xA; - **Knowledge of the environment** Your robot should know if there is an obstacle in it's way. The random obstacles are by definition impossible to know in advance, so you'll need to detect them somehow.&#xD;&#xA;  - You could use the aforementioned ultrasonic sonar, if the obstacles provide a good enough acho.&#xD;&#xA;  - If the obstacles are made of a suitable material, you could try to use a color sensor to see if there is one in front of the robot&#xD;&#xA;  - In theory you could try to measure the resistance of the motors when you try to drive into an obstacle but this might prove impossible, depending on the capabilities of the hardware and software sou are using. This method also makes it impossible to use the incremental location method.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Given these problems in my opinion your best bet would be a simpler, more brute force approach.

Over the years black became a little lighter in colour to a dark grey. This was also shown on one of the first pages of the instructions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This stays OK until the introduction of dark grey parts. At that point LEGO struggled again with colours in the instruction. This was around 2008. In the year later this was solved by making black darker again. This current colour scheme is used in for example 42009. So this set is not a type II but another type. Also LEGO nowdays try to keep the same parts both in black and dark grey to a minimum per set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Until now I never noticed that LEGO uses to different two different ways to show black parts. With and without a white outline. And also on the PDF's instruction it look like the shade of black is different. I don't know the reason for this and if the white outline is only used for non technic sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Numbered bags are used through the whole line of sets. And make the building a little easier by reducing the number of parts to look through while finding the part needed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The coloured outline on the build steps are used at least from 2000. These are often used in larger models like [3723-1: LEGO Mini-Figure](http://brickset.com/sets/3723-1/LEGO-Mini-Figure), where it can be hard to see where a part go.

Presumably for indirect business benefits. Things like:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The hope that customers will buy bricks / sets to make up sets they don't own&#xD;&#xA; - Easier to deal with customer enquiries regarding lost instructions&#xD;&#xA; - Customer good will&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Costs and Benefits**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Assuming this is the case, we can speculate that TLG have not invested in better PDF instructions because they don't consider the additional benefits will be covered by the cost of improving the quality.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Do many people really purchase bricks based on these instructions? I doubt it.&#xD;&#xA; - The poor quality PDF instructions are probably good enough for customer enquiry purposes, or at least TLG may perceive that it is.&#xD;&#xA; - TLG may perceive that customers in general don't care about the instructions quality - the few of us who do may not provide sufficient incentive to improve things.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The bottom line is that these instructions are provided on a goodwill basis. Unless TLG receive incentive to improve them, they probably won't.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**A Call to Action**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, if you really care about the instructions, what can you do?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I suggest that it might be worth contacting TLG's customer services.

It has stood, fully assembled and almost never touched, since I first got it in late 2003/early 2004. In all that time it's gotten dusty, so I've used various things to clean it: a vacuum with a brush (if you're sure there are no loose parts), a can of compressed air, and a sink of soapy water. You can submerge this whole model, or take parts of it apart, and wash the dust off, in a few minutes. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At the end of the day, it is still in near-perfect condition, because it's never played with and just sits there. I never, ever, wish it had been glued. Why would it need gluing? I can always put it back together if anything falls off. The lego pieces hold themselves together just fine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are two areas where its preservation is lacking: First and foremost, sunlight. Sunlight changes the colour of the bricks. I keep this one out of direct sun and it hasn't yellowed too much. But the light-grey pieces are particularly prone to discolouration and I'm sure the outer shell of the model has changed colour somewhat. The only thing that would have helped is UV-protection.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Second, some of the technic pins that hold it together have weakened over the years. These can be easily replaced if they become a problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Otherwise, this model has stood as a display piece for 10 years now, but if I wanted to, I could disassemble it and use all its pieces in a new creation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I offer this as evidence that you do not need to glue models, and as TheBrickBlogger wrote, while it's possible, I would discourage it. It doesn't &quot;preserve&quot; the model in any useful sense, except keeping it together so that no pieces get lost or missing. If the model isn't going to be moved around a lot, or played with, nothing will fall off. And if something does fall off, it can easily be put back.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://brickset.com/sets/4483-1/AT-AT" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Over the years black became a little lighter in colour to a dark grey. This was also shown on one of the first pages of the instructions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This stays OK until the introduction of dark grey parts. At that point LEGO struggled again with colours in the instruction. This was around 2008. In the year later this was solved by making black darker again. This current colour scheme is used in for example 42009. So this set is not a type II but another type. Also LEGO nowdays try to keep the same parts both in black and dark grey to a minimum per set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Until now I never noticed that LEGO uses two different ways to show black parts. With and without a white outline. And also on the PDF's instruction it look like the shade of black is different. I don't know the reason for this and if the white outline is only used for non technic sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Numbered bags are used through the whole line of sets. And make the building a little easier by reducing the number of parts to look through while finding the part needed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The coloured outline on the build steps are used at least from 2000. These are often used in larger models like [3723-1: LEGO Mini-Figure](http://brickset.com/sets/3723-1/LEGO-Mini-Figure), where it can be hard to see where a part go.

I use a Dremel tool with a 2mm drill bit or 3mm router bit to carve away at the pin until it disintegrates.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The new style pins sell for about 0.3c each on Bricklink, so if you're assembling a model it makes sense to just buy a pile of new pins and and use those instead. I use the pins as &quot;stuff&quot; for my construction models to work with, so I bought 10,000 pins in one hit for about $50 including delivery. It's just not worth putting the old pins into newly assembled models when it's so cheap to avoid the problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To actually remove the pins when they are stuck I use the approaches other people have given. When they fail I use olive oil as a lubricant (soak Lego in oil, wait). That's much easier if you can keep the end you're going to be pulling on out of the oil. Then use the &quot;jam a bar into the end&quot; technique to lock the pin into another Lego beam and pull it out. Usually twisting is required.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But I have to admit that I don't bother any more. I pull models apart, and pins that I can't get out with my fingers I just drill out. If I really have to I'll buy more old-style pins on Bricklink, but I have enough friends who buy second hand Lego and hate those pins that my supply is adequate. And I'm happy to give away the new style pins in exchange. Again, they cost me 0.5c/pin...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**The old pins are brilliant** if you're exhibiting a model and it has parts that tend to fall apart. Use the &quot;stuck forever&quot; pins and things don't fall off nearly as easily.

This preserves every visible surface of the box and allows you to reassemble/re-glue it at some point in the future.** Cut down like this the box takes up a fraction of its original size, and can be stored in an out-of-the-way place like an attic or on top of large shelving (be aware that a box cut down like this can be surprisingly large and unwieldy).  Don't stack too many boxes atop each other like this - cardboard is both heavy and floppy, and searching through a substantial stack may require more strength/space than you have available.

It will take up less room and also it is less likely that parts will be damaged or warped in shipping. You can pack loose parts in ziplock bags.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the buyer would like the set partially disassembled you can take it apart in the most logical sections, then first wrap each section in cellophane wrapping (the kind used for food). Cellophane protects an assembled set the best because it &quot;sticks&quot; to LEGO leaving little or no gaps, so parts won't fall off. Once you have done that, use bubble wrap around the sections to protect them from bumps while shipping, then place them in the box or boxes. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, use FRAGILE stickers or stamps on the box. They do help. And make sure you buy full insurance to cover any loss or damage. Even if the buyer doesn't want to pay for it, it is worth it for your own peace of mind.

Note that each multiplexer requires an additional battery box, making your robot heavier and less compact. Each multiplexer costs $55, and each battery box costs $8.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another way is to use [converter cables][2], and split an NXT port by connecting them [like so][3]. This technique is cheaper, and does not require an additional battery box. A drawback to using this technique is that you have less individual control over the motors. Both motors will need to turn at the same time, with the same power, and in either the same or the opposite direction depending on how you orient the connection. Furthermore, this method will negate access to the motors' rotation sensors, so movement will have to be timed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This technique has some limitations, but if those don't matter for your creation, then converter cables are a nice and cheap alternative that helps preserve compactness. I recommend using it over the motor MUX unless your robot simply can't function under the constraints. For a demonstration of a robot using the Mindsensors motor MUX, see [this video][4].

Don't forget about lamps, too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The connections are different though, so as Ambo100 [says](http://bricks.stackexchange.com/q/713), you will need converter cables. However, if you don't want to pay the full price for them, you can also [make some yourself](http://www.philohome.com/nxtcables/nxtcable.htm) which isn't really that difficult.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The other thing you need to consider is how to use them with your programming environment; for the LEGO-provided NXT-G there is a special library of blocks which you can add. You can find it on the [LEGO Education downloads site](http://education.lego.com/en-us/searchresult?q=RCX+Legacy+Sensor+Blocks+for+NXT+Software). The description of this library is as follows:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **Description**  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; The Legacy Sensor Block Library is available for users who have purchased the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Software Version 2.0. The library adds support to RCX actions and sensors to the NXT Software. It includes blocks for the RCX motor, lamp, touch sensor, light sensor, rotation sensor and temperature sensor. The blocks are available in English, French, German, Japanese, and Dutch.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On a related note, if you want to use Power Functions motors and lights, you can do so by using the two converter cables (NXT-9V + 9V-PF). There is currently no NXT-PF conversion cable, but you could make one as easily as you would make a NXT-9V cable. There is also a [third-party infrared link &quot;sensor&quot;](http://www.hitechnic.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&amp;key=NIL1046) which allows an NXT brick to control PF elements via the normal infrared receiver."

Pop the legs off, the head off, and the panels off the top, etc; it comes apart into, say, 10-15 large modules. Dunk them in soapy water then rinse in warm clear water, and let it dry. It takes a while to dry but when it's done, it's clean.

In essence this means a constant force pushing one way, so that the slop doesn't matter. Often you can do this with gravity, and if  slop at one (or two) when you rotate is acceptable then that may be all you need. If you do have variable-gravity parts that need pre-tensioning, try to make that dynamic so you're not fighting both gravity and preload on some movements.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It may be possible to work around some of that using strings'n'springs, so you have hidden counter-pulls on some heavy parts (the way old school drafting desks and anglepoise lamps do).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you might gather from high-end metal work using springs or gravity for pre-load, there's no way to actually machine anything without some slop.

[I've recreated the movie version as best I could][1], and have compared it side-by-side with the Sea Cow set version. In the first picture, the Sea Cow set version is on the left, and the movie version is on the right, and vice-versa in the second picture. The notable differences are as follows:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![LEGO Movie double decker couch version differences 1-4][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![LEGO Movie double decker couch version differences 1-4][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. As you pointed out, some of the seats in the Sea Cow version have studs on them so that minifigures will stay on better. Notice also that the Sea Cow version has one layer of plue plates, whereas the movie version has two layers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 2. The armrests are different. The parts that the two different armrests share have different color selections, and the Sea Cow counterparts are thicker and higher up than the movie counter parts. Also, the Sea Cow armrests contain the supports for the ladders, whereas the supports for the ladders are located elsewhere on the movie version.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 3. The ladders in the Sea Cow version are higher up than the movie version.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 4. There are round 1x1 studs placed on the bottom of the upper level of the movie version, but none are found on that of the Sea Cow version.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 5. The back rests have more layers of plates in the Sea Cow set version than in the movie version.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 6. The 1x2 plates with bars in the Sea Cow set version are used to connect the back rests with their corresponding seats, whereas in the movie version, they are not connected to anything. Because of this, the seats on the upper level are simply suspended in midair, and the back rests of the lower level are just sitting there with nothing attaching them to the seats. This is why replicating the movie version 100% and keeping it together is physically impossible. Why the makers of The LEGO Movie didn't simply attach plates with clips to those plates with bars they have there is beyond me.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 7. In the Sea Cow set version, the two levels are connected by technic tubes which connect to 2x2 plates with holes. The two levels of the movie version are connected by long cylindrical 1x1 columns.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.mediafire.com/download/3hm2fjd2fobef90/Double-Decker_Couch.zip&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/GC4FW.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Cw8tY.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The most notable one is that the 1.0's screen would give out over time due to stress being put on a capacitor when the buttons are pressed, but the NXT 2.0 is engineered such that this does not occur. But, none of these differences affect what hardware the bricks are compatible with.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Externally, the NXT 1.0 and 2.0 intelligent bricks are physically identical. You can update firmware of NXT 1.0 controller with 2.0 firmware (download the most recent version [here][1]). Once this is done, your NXT will be able to use the LEGO color sensor that comes with NXT 2.0 box, and to run NXT 2.0-compiled software.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.lego.com/en-gb/mindstorms/downloads/software/nxt-firmware/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

[I've recreated the movie version as best I could in LDD and LDraw][1], and have compared it side-by-side with the Sea Cow set version. In the first picture, the Sea Cow set version is on the left, and the movie version is on the right, and vice-versa in the second picture. The notable differences are as follows:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![LEGO Movie double decker couch version differences 1-4][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1.As you pointed out, some of the seats in the Sea Cow version have studs on them so that minifigures will stay on better. Notice also that the Sea Cow version has one layer of plue plates, whereas the movie version has two layers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2.The armrests are different. The parts that the two different armrests share have different color selections, and the Sea Cow counterparts are thicker and higher up than the movie counter parts. Also, the Sea Cow armrests contain the supports for the ladders, whereas the supports for the ladders are located elsewhere on the movie version.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3.The ladders in the Sea Cow version are higher up than the movie version.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4.There are round 1x1 studs placed on the bottom of the upper level of the movie version, but none are found on that of the Sea Cow version.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![LEGO Movie double decker couch version differences 1-4][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5.The back rests have more layers of plates in the Sea Cow set version than in the movie version.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;6.The 1x2 plates with bars in the Sea Cow set version are used to connect the back rests with their corresponding seats, whereas in the movie version, they are not connected to anything. Because of this, the seats on the upper level are simply suspended in midair, and the back rests of the lower level are just sitting there with nothing attaching them to the seats. This is why replicating the movie version 100% and keeping it together is physically impossible. Why the makers of The LEGO Movie didn't simply attach plates with clips to those plates with bars they have there is beyond me.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;7.In the Sea Cow set version, the two levels are connected by technic tubes which connect to 2x2 plates with holes. The two levels of the movie version are connected by long cylindrical 1x1 columns.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.mediafire.com/download/3hm2fjd2fobef90/Double-Decker_Couch.zip&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/GC4FW.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Cw8tY.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

You'd be using axles in compression which isn't ideal so you'd need to be careful about bending forces, but in terms of cost per metre of height that's about as good as you can get. 32 studs is about 25cm, so your 40 metre tower is about 160 axles high. Assuming four legs (because Lego makes rectangles easier than triangles) you'd need 480 axles for the legs, plus another hundred or so for bracing. If you could work out a way to use only 3 legs the structure would be lighter.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Lego tower][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You'd use [axle connectors][3] to join them end to end and either Technic liftarms or string for bracing (compression and tension respectively). There are Technic link parts in a few lengths that are lighter than liftarms, like [this 15-long one][4] and the tension member at the bottom would be a baseplate (or several baseplates)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you made it modular using a &quot;platform&quot; that was, say, 16 studs square you'd end up with extra internal legs but a very easy to build structure. Say you make a tower that's two metres tall (8 axles) and tapers from 32x32 to a point. Four of those next to each other would support another similar tower on top of all of them. And so on, but the inside towers will end up with 2,3 or 4 towers sitting on top of them. A better design would make set of four symmetrically located parts &quot;unique&quot; and thus use fewer total parts but at the cost of the whole model being significantly more complex. On the other hand, I think you'd be able to get more than 2m out of each stage of such a tower.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I might have a go at a short version of this tonight if I can find my collection of long axles and see how stable it is. Somewhere in the garage is about 20 of them, so I should be able to get a metre tall fairly quickly and easily... if I can find those axles.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;An alternative part that would involve a lot of SNOT techniques would be single train rails. Or even the modern click-together rails. I can't think of a good design for those off the top of my head, though.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/eqOsF.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?pg=1&amp;colorID=11&amp;itemID=49967&amp;sz=10&amp;searchSort=P&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=6538c&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=2637" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Unfortunately large quantities of bricks really require that you deal with The Lego Group directly (and they're usually quite happy to deal). For rough price guides we can look at bricklink again. Sorting by quantity available from a single seller for some common parts (we don't care about price per metre if we can only get 20 of the part), cost per 2x4 brick volume in bold:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [1x1 brick in dark bley][1]: 24k at ~2c each and another 19.5k at 4c each (**3k@16c**)&#xD;&#xA;* [2x1 brick in dark bley][2]: 12k at ~7c each, then 1.9k at 6c (**3k@28c**)&#xD;&#xA;* [2x2 brick in white][4]: 7k at ~12c, 7k at ~23c (**3.5k@24c**)&#xD;&#xA;* [2x2 brick in dark bley][3]: 4k at ~8c, 1.5k at ~11c (**2k@16c**)&#xD;&#xA;* [2x2 Corner Dark Bley][5]: 4k at ~9c, 3k at ~8c (**1.5k@24c**)&#xD;&#xA;* [2x4 brick in white][6]: 6k at 18c, 4k at 58c (**6k@18c**)&#xD;&#xA;* [2x4 brick in dark bley][7]: 5k at 28c, 5k at 19c (**5k@28c**)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The bold figures give you a direct comparison, suggesting that 1x1 bricks are the same price as 2x2 bricks but more fiddly to work with and probably both heavier and weaker. Note that volume available increases with brick size for the most part.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So it looks as though your cheapest bet via BrickLink would be a containment wall of whatever larger bricks you could find with a core of 1x1 and 2x2 bricks. I suspect if you built a want list with the more common 1x1 bricks you could find one or two sellers who have lots of that size and do a deal &quot;I'll buy all of them&quot;, because 1x1 bricks are a slow seller but you get a lot of them in the &quot;bulk bricks&quot; sets when sellers part them out.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Or just ask TLG for a couple of hundred kilogrammes of 1x1 or 2x2 bricks and see what you can get cheap. If you have media and charity tie-ins organised and some plans for the tower I suspect you'd get a better reception. I'd be tempted to add 2x3 or 1x3 bricks to tie things together, since compressive strength is not the limiting factor (see Ben's answer). If you're doing that it's probably better to model a few different bricks (or find the data online) so you can have an informed discussion about which bricks you want.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?pg=1&amp;colorID=85&amp;itemID=299&amp;sz=10&amp;searchSort=P&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?pg=1&amp;colorID=85&amp;itemID=280&amp;sz=10&amp;searchSort=P&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?pg=1&amp;colorID=85&amp;itemID=280&amp;sz=10&amp;searchSort=P&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?pg=1&amp;colorID=1&amp;itemID=272&amp;sz=10&amp;searchSort=P&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?pg=1&amp;colorID=85&amp;itemID=50&amp;sz=10&amp;searchSort=P&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?pg=1&amp;colorID=1&amp;itemID=264&amp;sz=10&amp;searchSort=P&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?pg=1&amp;colorID=85&amp;itemID=264&amp;sz=10&amp;searchSort=P" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It is likely that the Novus and similar products fall into this category, but they rely on polishing for the finish... similar to CD or DVD repair.&#xD;&#xA;3. Here is [a step-by-step method](http://www.ehow.com/how_5013183_remove-scratches-polycarbonate-lenses.html) using household toothpaste." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It is a bit more grainy so works faster but doesn't damage the parts. It does take some work though that may or may not make sense depending on the rarity of the elements. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And yes, with either toothpaste or Brasso, you actually have to vigorously rub the surface to buff it up. It might be easier and cheaper just to replace the worn parts with new ones if they really bother you.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;LEGO getting scratched up a bit is normal. In most colors you won't even notice it, but there are certain colors where scratches are more visible&amp;nbsp;— with black being the worst. So it actually helps to store black parts stuck together to prevent rubbing against each other in storage." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Only one Curbside Recycling Program claims they can recycled mixed LEGOs. Only the City of San Fransico (proper) bales them up and ships them to China, but doesn't know what they make out of them). All the other cities (including NY, Dallas, Chicago, LA, San Jose, etc) said they cannot use them; either because: they are mostly ABS, some contain rubber, some contain batteries or wires, are &quot;Type 7&quot; but are not labeled, are too small, etc. Even cities whose web sites said &quot;we accept all plastic types&quot;, sent us emails saying they couldn't take them for these reasons (except SF).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We even called an ABS recycling company (yes some of these exist). They said, even with pure ABS LEGOs, they would need over 1,000 pounds to make it worthwhile to them to touch it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We have sent hundreds and hundreds of pounds of LEGOs on to &quot;new lives&quot;, including donations to: children in Haiti, orphanage in Zimbawe, LEGO clubs, libraries, doctor's offices, etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We called dozens of thrift shops throughout the US and were please to find that at least &quot;some&quot; of them claim they can used mixed bricks, but a lot of them don't touch them, especially if they are not in complete sets. Our local Goodwill said they just dump them in the citywide recycling. We cried, then called the city recyling program, and they said they painstakenly sort them out, then dump in the the landfill. We cried some more, then started this great program to give &quot;the world's most awesome toy&quot; a chance a 2nd life.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;LEGO pieces will not decompose even after 100,000 years, which makes them an excellent choice to &quot;pass along to a curious child&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We will be posting more details and actual emails from many curbside recycling centers soon."

Here’s the results&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (aliens/creatures are excluded except where male-female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; differentiation exists:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Alien Abduction: 9 male, 1 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Atlantis: 7 male, 1 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Castle: 15 male, 1 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; City: 59 male, 5 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Collectible Mini-Figures: 37 male, 10 female (omit 1 alien)&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Creator: 2 male, 0 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Dacta: 33 male, 19 female Duplo: 16 male, 4 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Harry Potter: 20 male, 3 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Ninjago: 30 male, 3 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Pharaoh’s Quest: 9 male, 1 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Pirates of the Caribbean: 32 male, 4 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Star Wars: 43 male, 7 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Trains: 3 male, 0 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; **TOTAL SYSTEM:** 299 male, 55 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; **TOTAL DUPLO:** 16 male, 4 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; **TOTAL:** 315 male, 59 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; That’s greater than a 5:1 ratio and if you remove the Dacta and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Collectible Mini-figure sets from the equation, you get a pathetic 8:1&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ratio (245 male, 30 female). I’ll say it again. If Lego wants girls to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; take interest in their products, they should make a better effort to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; include figures through which girls can identify.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The survey only takes into account 374 minifigures of the last year.

That leaves changing the electrical system.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What battery are you using? Fundamentally, any change to the electrical system is going to amount to &quot;use a half flat battery&quot;, and if you're using a high-voltage battery now the easy option is to switch to lower-voltage rechargeable batteries. But that only works if you're currently using disposable AAA batteries in the [88000 battery box][1] (or 6 AA's in the bigger one that I don't think I've ever seen in a train). If you are, switching to either NiMH AAA batteries or the the Lego [LiIon battery pack 8878][2] will give you the effect you want.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Based on [Philo's extensive comparisons][3] but it's the speed/voltage graph that you probably care about more:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![speed vs voltage graph][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What you want to do is lower the voltage at each setting of the controller, and that means adding a resistor in series with the motor.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you're currently using rechargeable batteries, the only option I can see is to modify the motor or IR receiver. It's just adding a resistor in the cable, so it's relatively easy to do and also to undo, but it's going to look messy and it will be more fragile than the unmodified item. If you're unsure (which I assume you are, since you're asking here rather than just doing it), it's probably better to buy an [extension cable][5] and modify that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Your motor draws about 1.3A when stalled, and from the speed/power charts lower down, about 0.4A when running. I'm going to guess you want to lose about 1V from the 7V output of the receiver, so you need about 1/0.4 = 2.5Ω. Since that Needs to cope with about 1A, it would ideally be a 3W or 5W resistor but you can probably get away with 1W. I suggest using 2, 5Ω 1W resistors in parallel since resistors typically come in 1W and 5W sizes, and in 10% increments so you actually want 5.6 ohm. [RadioShack sell them][6], as should any other electrical part supplier.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Again, [Philo explains what the wires do][7] (2/3 down the page), and the easy way to do this is to put the extension between the battery and the IR receiver. That way you put the resistor on an outside wire of the four. If you can solder the resistors in place it'll work better, but if you can't just stripping the wires and twisting them in place then holding it together with tape will work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/LEGO-Power-Functions-AAA-Battery-Box-88000&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/LEGO-Power-Functions-Rechargeable-Battery-Box-8878&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.philohome.com/motors/motorcomp.htm&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/sZZ4d.gif&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/LEGO-Power-Functions-Extension-Wire-8886&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12566012&amp;filterName=Type&amp;filterValue=1-watt%20resistors&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: http://www.philohome.com/pf/pf.htm" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Or there is something more advanced?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I had the insane idea to try LDD to design my MOC and it was a nightmare.&#xD;&#xA;Since my MOC uses sets from castle fantasy, there are maybe 3D models ready to use for LDraw or other kind of software suitable for this task?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT: I will go into further details to explain my issues better.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is the list of sets I want to place in my MOC:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Fantasy Era:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - 7036 Dwarves' Mine&#xD;&#xA; - 7094 King's Castle Siege&#xD;&#xA; - 7079 Drawbridge Defense&#xD;&#xA; - 10193 Medieval Market Village&#xD;&#xA; - 7037 Tower Raid&#xD;&#xA; - 7029 Skeleton Ship Attack&#xD;&#xA; - 7048 Troll Warship&#xD;&#xA; - 7097 Trolls' Mountain Fortress&#xD;&#xA; - A lot of smaller sets like 5614 The Good Wizard that do not take space.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Kingdoms:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - 6918 Blacksmith Attack&#xD;&#xA; - 7187 Escape from Dragon's Prison&#xD;&#xA; - 7188 King's Carriage Ambush&#xD;&#xA; - 7189 Mill Village Raid&#xD;&#xA; - 7946 King's Castle&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I want to build a nice terrain where to place all those sets together. for example, a mountain where to place the Mine, and a hill to put the Blue Castle on top. The a river for the Drawbridge, a plain for the medieval village and the the mill, a coast for the harbor, a sea for the two ships, and another coast for the Troll fortress. I have yet to decide where to put the Red castle.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The whole MOC would require 10-14 big baseplates (my estimate). So planning the whole thing is very hard and I got lost with LDD very soon. To make things easier, it would help a lot if the software has the &quot;size box&quot; for the sets, so I have a way to understand how to place each set on the scene without having to build them from scratch, so I can concentrate on the terrain.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have no clue on how to go forward on this, to design all the terrain and then get the component list (and it's cost) to build everything."

Text="Immerse the stuck assembly in soapy water, swoosh them around a bit, then try again. That should do the trick. It is okay to wiggle the piece a bit from side to side to try to loosen it up. Even ABS plastic LEGO pieces are somewhat flexible and they won't break if you flex them a bit. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If nothing else works you may have to resort to plyers. Use the kind that doesn't have ridges, so damage to the plastic remains minimal. Also, use shop gloves or something similar to make sure you have a good grip on the end that you are holding with your hand. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you do resort to using pliers, try putting a wide rubber band between the pliers and the pieces to further reduce the damage to your bricks."

Text="I found [this][1] interesting comment by J on a blog post about [LEGO female oriented sets][2].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I did a count of male and female mini-figures by theme in the 2011&#xD;&#xA;&gt; releases for which we have visual evidence. The modular house line&#xD;&#xA;&gt; always tends to be more balanced so there’s still potential there but&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the City theme is particularly bad this year. Here’s the results&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (aliens/creatures are excluded except where male-female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; differentiation exists:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Alien Abduction: 9 male, 1 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Atlantis: 7 male, 1 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Castle: 15 male, 1 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; City: 59 male, 5 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Collectible Mini-Figures: 37 male, 10 female (omit 1 alien)&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Creator: 2 male, 0 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Dacta: 33 male, 19 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Duplo: 16 male, 4 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Harry Potter: 20 male, 3 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Ninjago: 30 male, 3 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Pharaoh’s Quest: 9 male, 1 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Pirates of the Caribbean: 32 male, 4 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Star Wars: 43 male, 7 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Trains: 3 male, 0 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; **TOTAL SYSTEM:** 299 male, 55 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; **TOTAL DUPLO:** 16 male, 4 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; **TOTAL:** 315 male, 59 female&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; That’s greater than a 5:1 ratio and if you remove the Dacta and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Collectible Mini-figure sets from the equation, you get a pathetic 8:1&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ratio (245 male, 30 female). I’ll say it again. If Lego wants girls to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; take interest in their products, they should make a better effort to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; include figures through which girls can identify.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The survey only takes into account 374 minifigures of the last year.

I bought one of the toys, removed the air bellows, and designed a “worm gear slider” system using NXT parts to stretch and compress them.

FLL can be used in a classroom setting but is not solely designed for this purpose. Teams, composed of up to ten children with at least one adult coach, can also be associated with a pre-existing club or organization, homeschooled, or just be a group of friends who wish to do something awesome.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The coaches DO NOT need any technical experience. In FLL, the children do the work! And the work is programming an autonomous robot (using the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® robot set) to score points on a thematic playing surface, creating an innovative solution to a problem as part of their project, all while being guided by the FLL Core Values. These three elements - the Robot Game, Project, and FLL Core Values - make up what we call our yearly Challenge. Like any other organized “sport”, teams also fundraise, create a team identity, and go on field trips.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some teams choose to attend an [official FLL tournament][2], which is hosted by one of our *FIRST* LEGO League Partners. *FIRST* LEGO League Partners volunteer to run the FLL program in their region or country and are associated with other like-minded organizations to the FIRST mission.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- See more at: [*FIRST* LEGO League][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.firstlegoleague.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.firstlegoleague.org/event/eventinfo&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.firstlegoleague.org/mission/support#sthash.Q57qZCP8.dpuf" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Another format you might find of use if the .ldr format. .ldr files are used in various LEGO virtual building programs that make up what's called [the LDraw system of tools][1]. As an example of the .ldr format, this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Simble brick assembly][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Can be generated by pasting this into a text document and renaming it .ldr:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;0 Brick test&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;0 Name: Brick test.ldr&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;0 Author: HaydenStudios&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;0 Unofficial Model&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;0 ROTATION CENTER 0 0 0 1 &quot;Custom&quot; &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;0 ROTATION CONFIG 0 0&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;1 4 50 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3001.dat&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;1 7 50 -8 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3020.dat&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;1 4 50 -32 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3003.dat&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;1 4 50 -56 10 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3009.dat&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;0&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All LDraw applications rely on having a base LDraw installation to refer to which contains files for 3D models of all LEGO parts available in the LDraw parts library. If you wanted to write a Javascript that interprets LDraw models, you'd need it to have an LDraw parts library stored somewhere to refer to, such as on a server.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Each tool in the LDraw system of tools has its own &quot;actions&quot; that it injects into an LDraw file when you edit it. One such program, LPub, is specifically designed for making instructions for models constructed using any LDraw-compatible tool:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![LEGO Car in LPub][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It allows you to set up each page, and saves your setups for each page into the LDraw file so that it can be read by any program that knows how to read LDraw files and LPub's formatting.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This and the .LXFML format are the only two file formats I know of that are along the lines of what you described. One potentially deciding factor in which format to choose is the different ways they handle instructions. For LDraw files, you have to manually make the steps as you make the models, whereas LDD automatically generates the instructions. While this can save the builder a lot of time, the order in which the pieces are added may not make as much sense as if they were made manually. Whether this is a pro or con is really a matter of personal preference.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Altogether, though, I'd personally recommend using LDraw files due to LEGO Digital Designer's relatively limited part library, as well as the fact that the former is generally more favored among the late teen and AFOL community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.ldraw.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/NMBDt.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/4pMfk.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

They continued to distribute CA pieces in sets until their existing supply was exhausted, so during the transition beginning in 1963 both types of pieces were sold in sets. In North America, LEGO pieces were manufactured beginning in 1961 under license by Samsonite, which continued to distribute CA pieces mixed in sets until about 1970.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Distinguishing CA from ABS pieces based on intrinsic criteria is something of an art. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first thing to look for is warping. CA plastic is much more prone to warp than ABS, which is perhaps the main reason the switch was made. If you find an old piece that is warped, odds are it is CA. You can check for warping by placing a piece on a flat surface and checking for any &quot;wobble.&quot; Another good method is to build a simple brick wall with the pieces and look for gaps or poor connections. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Generally CA plastic is much shinier than ABS plastic when it is in good condition. CA pieces will lose the shine with wear, so this is not always possible to see.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are also some tell-tale clues in the colors. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Red CA pieces have more orange than the ABS version.  &#xD;&#xA; - Yellow CA pieces are not as bright as ABS pieces.  &#xD;&#xA; - Blue CA pieces are a brighter shade than the ABS version.  &#xD;&#xA; - Black, white, gray and clear CA pieces are harder to differentiate. Transparent CA bricks can be somewhat brownish, while later transparent bricks, made from polycarbonate, can have a bluish cast.&#xD;&#xA; - Green CA bricks are very scarce, but some green plates are CA.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As per Joubarc, it was very tricky to get right. Here are some subtle things I learnt/did during the build:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The blue down wedges in the ball feed are not symmetric horizontally. Putting them on alternate layers helps stop the 14mm beads getting jammed.&#xD;&#xA; - The ball feed needs to be narrow at the bottom (beams with a 2 stud gap, no wedges) to avoid ball jams and ensure the balls drop down with gravity into the intake.&#xD;&#xA; - Needed a gradual ramp in the slider/feed section (yellow) to prevent ball jams and ensure the balls would drop into the intake&#xD;&#xA; - Older bricks that have been nicked from drops, rough play tend to jam the slide mechanism as they brush past each other. Use newer/non nicked bricks.&#xD;&#xA; - Use longer horizontal beams in the slide mechanism and adjacent walls. Every vertical vertice is an opportunity for the slider to jam. Long horizontals reduce this.&#xD;&#xA; - Use window pieces in the slider to reduce slide contact and friction (see white slider section)&#xD;&#xA; - Needed a long slide (white section) to increase clutch power holding it on to the bottom plate. With a smaller slide section it didn't take long for it to pop off due to push/pull action from the piston.&#xD;&#xA; - a 2x1 beam with two holes was used to mount the piston. This aligned the piston just right to not jam during rotation. A single hole 2x1 beam didn't work for me.&#xD;&#xA; - Needed to bias the balls at the top of the chimney to pop them out into the race section. Did this with the mini cheese wedges mounted vertically.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJAuZPA_luw&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/z6zEE.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Using the 2013 average USD to EUR exchange rate of 1.3282465 I converted retail prices from EUR to USD. On average, the retail prices on the US site are 77.06% of the retail prices on the sites where prices are listed in EUR.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So your observation is close to the apparent actual difference in listed prices, although it is closer to 80% than 70% on average. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The member states of the EU each set a value-added tax (VAT) on items sold in those countries. This rate [currently varies][3] from 15% (Luxembourg) up to 27% (Hungary). [LEGO includes the VAT in the listed price][4] in countries where it is collected. This means the listed retail price is higher than the actual base price of the set. If you assume a VAT rate of 25% and adjust the list prices accordingly, then comparing the USD prices to the EUR prices shows that US list prices are actually about 96% of EUR prices. This is an average - many sets sell at a similar or lower actual base price in Europe than in the US (when expressed in USD).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For example [Set 60045 Police Patrol][5] sells for $44.99 USD in the US. [It sells for 39.99 EUR in Germany][6]. The VAT in Germany is 19% and today's exchange rate is 1.3398. To get the base price of the set in EUR, divide the list price by 1.19. That gives us a base price of 33.60 EUR. Multiply that by the current exchange rate and the USD price you would pay in Germany for this set is $45.02 - just three cents more.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here is the data I use [in a spreadsheet format][7], sorted by their prices in USD.

Text="From 2002-05, LEGO sold Spider-Man themed sets under license from Marvel Entertainment in conjunction with the release of the first two Spider-Man movies. These are commonly known as the [Spider-Man 1][1] and [Spider-Man 2][2] themes. This license was apparently only for Spider-Man and characters in the films and not for other Marvel superheroes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In October 2004, Marvel and Mega Bloks announced [a multi-year license agreement][3] that allowed Mega Bloks to use several Marvel superhero characters and create movie-related products. LEGO did not produce any Spider-Man or Marvel-themed sets between 2006 and late 2011.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In 2009-10, [Marvel Entertainment was purchased by The Walt Disney Company][4], with whom LEGO had a long-standing relationship producing Disney-themed sets. In July 2011 it was announced that [LEGO had obtained a license to the Marvel characters][5] as part of an expansion of its license agreement with Disney. At about the same time, [LEGO expanded its license deal with DC Comics][6], a subsidiary of Warner Brothers, to include the full line of DC characters. LEGO had a previous license with DC to produce Batman-themed sets, which were first released in 2006.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With licenses from these two major comic book companies in hand, LEGO created two Super Heroes themes, [DC Universe Super Heroes][7], launched in late 2011, and [Marvel Super Heroes][8], launched in mid 2012. Both themes are currently in production as of August 2014.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=S&amp;catString=469.705&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=S&amp;catString=469.706&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/5881.html&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://marvel.com/news/story/10809/disney_completes_marvel_acquisition&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-lego-expands-disney-licensing-deal-marvel-lego-super-heroes-2012-17025/&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://variety.com/2011/film/news/wb-builds-on-lego-partnership-1118040143/&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/DC-Universe-Super-Heroes-ByTheme&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Marvel-Super-Heroes-ByTheme" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Using an NXT motor for steering would be quite wasteful however, you should at least use gearing to convert the jittery, fast movement of the NXT motor into slower, more balanced steering. You could also look into using Power Functions parts, the servo motor being the obvious choice for steering applications.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Another thing is whether I could use a single motor for turning objects 180 degrees on one side and lifting objects on the other end of the robot, is that possible?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If these two need to operate separately, then you will need to sacrifice some functionality. It is possible to split a motor's output into two axles in a configuration that drives only one axle depending on the direction of the motor. See this setup: http://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/3079/how-can-i-make-a-precise-one-way-clutch-using-technic-elements/3085#3085&#xD;&#xA;This will only allow either axle to turn in one direction only, so if you need lifting AND putting back, you'll need to solve it as a circular function. Driven by the only input axle that is turning in one direction, the lift would need to raise and lower back to the original position without any other input.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; alternatively, is it possible to lift and grab using a single motor?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Using some clever mechanics, it is certainly possible. The [8868 Air Tech Claw Rig/Materials Handler][1] used something like this to automatically grab an object, raise its arm, open the claws, drop the arms and start the cycle again. All this using a single motor (and some pneumatics). In this way though you won't get any control over the details (how high it lifts, etc) or over the sequence itself (you can't grab and release something without lifting it).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Lastly, would it be less efficient to use two NXT bricks to increase motors capacity?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You could certainly use two NXTs and have control over 6 motors. This would however require more batteries, result in a larger and heavier model and necessitate some kind of synchronisation between the NXTs. All of these drawbacks can be mitigated, so if you can't seem to solve the problem using engineering (or have proven that it is impossible to achieve your goals using only 3 motors) then feel free to throw in another NXT.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you need to increase the number of available motors, you could look into using third party parts, like this [motor multiplexer][2] that allows you to use two motors on one sensor port.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=78325&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.mindsensors.com/index.php?module=pagemaster&amp;PAGE_user_op=view_page&amp;PAGE_id=134" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Let's take a step back for a minute and have a look. The sensitive electrical component here is just a photodiode or phototransistor that lets us measure light intensity.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If we turn all of the LEDs off we are just measuring ambient light. If we turn on just one of the LEDs and hold the sensor close to a surface, we are measuring mostly the reflected light from that one LED (and some ambient light).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When we switch to color mode, it looks like all 3 LEDs are on at the same time, but what is actually happening is that they are being switched in sequence very rapidly. off-red-green-blue-off-red-green-blue-... and so on.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This means the mysterious 4th value, INPUT_BLANK, is the off part of the cycle - it is just measuring ambient light.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You said that you would take intensity as a bonus, but actually that is all you are getting. If you hold the sensor close to a white surface, you should get high values for all 3 colors. If you move the sensor even closer (but not too close), the values will increase. This is because the reflected intensity is getting strong, not because the surface is getting whiter.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This means the RGB values are not like the ones on your computer screen. If you do a web search for robotic vision systems, you will find that RGB just doesn't work. The common practice is to convert the values to HSV (hue-saturation-value). The HSV values can more easily deal with changes in ambient light allowing you to more accurately determine colors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I am not sure how the normalized and scaled values are calculated in `ReadSensorColorEx`, but you can play around with them and see if they give you better results for whatever it is that you are trying to do."

Therefore I might be proven wrong.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I need a reliable way to read the gyro sensor readings &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think the gyro sensor should have come with the appropriate instructions to do that. If not, you can find many tutorials online, such as this: http://robotsquare.com/2014/06/25/tutorial-gyro-ultrasonic-sensor-ev3-home-edition/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; while taking into account any bias in the sensor.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Bias can be accounted for by using a previously known position to calibrate the sensor. You could start your program with the gyro (and your arm) in one of the extreme positions and measure movement relative to that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Second, I would also like the sensor to read the rate of change in my arm and translate that into power for the large motor.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This sounds like a simple differentiation task. You measure the angle and store it along with the current time (in milliseconds or whatever the most precise measurements available). In the next iteration you make another measurement, take the difference of the current and the previous angles, and divide it by the difference of the current and previous times. The result is the rate of change. This can be translated to motor speeds by using either trial and error, or calculations based on the characteristics of the motor, the gearing and the gyro.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, I would rather use a command to turn the motor a specified number of degrees to match the measurements of the gyro."

Its main advantage though is that it is compact and swivels around the centre, which is possible because the inner piece is very thin and slightly narrower than the outer piece. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have achieved a similar pattern using the 2x2 turntable tile but getting the turntable positioned under the wall so that the wall spins on its centre means I need to use two levels of jumpers, both at the top and bottom of the wall. This consumes a lot of vertical space and also juts out horizontally at the top (Why doesn't Lego have an inverse jumper? one stud-hole on the bottom, two studs on top?)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are pictures of my creation. I'd appreciate any tips on how to make it more compact.&#xD;&#xA;Note that the round 1x1 bricks are needed on the sides to make enough room for it to swivel.

Therefore it's possible to build a relatively easily deformed bridge using long pieces, such as [technic beams][1]. You could build a bridge that deforms easily and then show how it flexes under the various weights.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for using a real strain gauge, that might be overkill, but if your bridge is fairly bendy you could probably compensate for whatever structural rigidity you'll get from the guage itself. Also I'd go with putting the gauge on a separate, flexible piece (such as paper or plastic) and just pin it to the bridge using normal lego parts. Presumably you don't need super-accurate measurements for this demo?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Lego also has some springs and shock absorbers](http://www.brickowl.com/search/catalog?query=spring) which can possibly be used to help with your design. Either use them to make the bridge flexible, or use the compression of the shock absorber as your measurement of how deformed the bridge is.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.brickowl.com/catalog/lego-beam-15-32278-64871" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The Power Functions motor will be on when it can get a signal and the 9V train motor will be on when the train runs over the metal rails.

The mechanical resistance of the unpowered motor will probably have undesired effects though.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you can't make a seamless transition from unpowered rails to powered ones, then you might look into building a more complicated setup where a PF remore receiver &quot;sets&quot; some kind of mechanical variable that controls the on-board motor output.

Although its ~14 short of building the 8043 (and im guessing short of a lot of MOCs) but its a start, at least you get extra parts.

Im not sure I will do this though as I don't think the lad will like me gutting a train (and I don't want to stretch to two!)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Pnematic kit, no sets seem to have a lot in them. ile9os on ebay has a VERY nice &quot;pro&quot; set. I wish they had more than 1 mini-pump in the collection, sadly to get 3 (to make a total of 4) from bricklink the price goes up when you have someone that has a quantity you want (bricklink is kind of a pain for that).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Steering kit, there are a few different types so looking at smaller models for these.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Springs, im keeping an eye out on deals of smaller technic non motorised sets for these.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Wheels, but im going to resist buying them on their own though as you can easily get these on smaller models, and will eventually be overrun with them (as I am with non-technic Lego since I decided to buy a batch lot and later on... I have too many!)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;More clutch gear, the above has some in but would like more, the crane has a lot in because it has one motor for all the functions. Service truck seems to be another and has some pneumatic kit - personally don't like that model though and im not sure about the price (still watching)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;btw for the likes of Amazon, get onto camelcamelcamel and set a LOT of &quot;crazy&quot; price alerts and sit on them for a long time."

Text="The crossover hasn't been done in RC track, but a [9V crossing](http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?itemID=1189) will work just fine, as PF and RC track are physically compatible (the only difference being the lack of conducting metal on PF track, which is a problem only when using 9V motors).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;LEGO never produced specific bridges, which makes sense since everyone builds his own. The closest thing would be [Heavy hauler](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?S=7900-1), which contains ready-made bridge elements - but that's the upper decoration only, you'd still need to build a sturdy structure under it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another reason why LEGO probably never made any is that they'd also need to take sloping into account, and it would mean a set containing way too much track. The Duplo and monorail slopes can be very steep because the trains use gears on a rack, but a regular LEGO train will need a way more gentle slope. Some people recommend no more than 1 plate every track piece; 1 brick is really pushing it (depending on your train), and more is certainly not a good idea. Even with 1 brick every track piece, you'll only get 8 bricks higher every meter. Not a problem if you've got the bricks and track, but it makes sense that LEGO wouldn't produce a full slopes/bridge set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sloping by itself isn't required either, as the slope has to be gentle, the existing track will easily accommodate the connections. There you'll certainly need to limit the slope change to no more than one plate per track part. For example, if you really want to have a slope of 1 brick per track, you'll need to start with 1 plate, then only 1 brick (+2 plates) and 2 bricks (+3 plates). Same thing at the top, so if you go to 10 bricks for example, the heights of your pillars will be: ...0, 0, 0, 1 plate, 1 brick, 2 bricks, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 9 bricks and 2 plates, 10 bricks, 10, 10, ... Yup, it's long. Note that if you don't care about that, the flex-track piece is very flexible in that regards too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When LEGO introduced RC track, one of their arguments was that they would be able to do much more fun stuff with track, which they immediately demonstrated with the double-crossover switch, and later with the flex-track, but unfortunately they haven't really followed suit on that topic. Probably trains aren't such a big market for LEGO (that's the reason they stopped 9V to start with).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And you didn't read this from me, but RC track is easier to mod than 9V track...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for what's possible, keep in mind there are some existing software for track planning. Even LEGO has a [basic online one](http://city.lego.com/en-us/trains/track-planner/), but for serious stuff you'd probably better use Alban Nanty's [BlueBrick](http://bluebrick.lswproject.com/). There's also [Train Depot Track Designer](http://members.home.nl/john.hielema/tracks/td.htm) which hasn't been updated in a long time but may still prove easier to use.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

While the Ultimate Collector's Edition Millennium Falcon may be the most prized jewel to a Star Wars collector, it may have little to no appeal to an avid Train collector. It was very hard to talk about any themes outside the fan's specific interest. Even then, a Trains person may have interest in the MAERSK ship(not a train, but related), but none in the Hogwart's Express. Another sought-after set is the Grand Carousel, which isn't likely of interest to someone that only collects licensed sets. &#xA;&#xA;For myself, the most prized LEGO toy I could attain is an authentic wooden set from the pre-ABS era. The closest thing I have to it is the 2011 employee-only duck that resembles the pre-building system era wooden duck draw toy the company made (post-yo-yo fad, using the leftover yo-yo halves as wheels). &#xA;&#xA;Other categories of collectors are completionists who may value SDCC Bizarro minifig or a limited UK Sun bag as their most prized possession (similar to the Mr. Gold mentioned before.) &#xA;&#xA;The currently-selected answer is worded to be exclusively about how expensive the item is, which the question specifically requested not be used for this judgment.

You can get extra power (up to 1.9W) by powering it with 12V batteries (at your own risks). Changing the gearing on this one won't get you far. Sure you'll get higher unloaded RPM, but your performances loaded will be really poor.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[I've seen cars using 2 of those][2] reach 12km/h, so why not trains ?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Still not fast enough ? Try the mighty RC Buggy motor (http://brickset.com/parts/4177239)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You will have to gear it up a bit (unloaded RPM is 1700), probably at 2x.

This, plus a few cars from a City train let me run a train with the engine (which is a dummy), the motorized coal car, two short cars with fixed wheel trucks and two long cars with turning wheel trucks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The problem is that sometimes this train works really well and other times it just cannot stay on the tracks at all.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The tracks are laid out on a carpeted floor, but I always put the train in the same place and it usually runs fine. But today's layout was just unworkable and I had to disassemble it and start over. The second layout works and I'm not sure what the difference is. The train rolls along and then whoops, the front wheels of the engine are turned, and the whole things falls down.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The layout itself is designed to withstand the perturbations of the train. This is accomplished by using a single piece of flex track every 1/4 turn and wherever there is a switch. This helps keep the track from shaking loose, as nothing is typically attached anywhere, except for the snap-together action of the track pieces.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Today I tried to settle down a particularly bad stretch of track by mounting it on some 10x20 bricks but that didn't really solve the problems. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Is there a way to reliably run the train on a carpet base?

This means there is more chance that the force will be applied at the wrong angle, forcing the leading elements off the track&#xD;&#xA;2. The elements are too light. In real &quot;multiple unit&quot; trains where the driving force is at the rear of the train, the front elements are still very heavy, which mitigates the effects of force distribution somewhat - if you can add more weight to the Locomotive build then you may have more success.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A simple confirmation of this would be to remove the Locomotive from the train and see if you get the same derailments?"

If you have two controls, the signals are essentially sent to the EV3 at the same time, so only the second one will seem to work because it immediately changes whatever what sent by the first.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In your example, with 2 buttons, the buttons either command the motor to move or stop. If neither button is pressed, both are telling the motor to stop, so no problem. But if you press the first button, it tells the motor to turn, but the second button is telling the motor to stop. Since the EV3 got the message from the second button last, the motor stops and it appears that the first button does not work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, if you want to use the Commander app for this, you will need to use a different control that can turn the motor in either direction with just one control such as a slider or tilt."

In other words, the sensor is modified in such a way that it only picks up anything if the light source is directly in front of it, not to the sides. This will help filtering out background &quot;noises&quot; (ambient light and other light sources).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then the follower robot runs this pseudocode:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    while true // enter stopping condition here if required&#xD;&#xA;      while light is visible // current light value is over a threshold - experiment with this value&#xD;&#xA;        go forward some amount&#xD;&#xA;      // if light is not visible the while loop exits and we need to find the light&#xD;&#xA;      store current light level to variable FRONT&#xD;&#xA;      rotate 10 degrees to the right // experiment with various values, maybe less is enough, maybe more is needed&#xD;&#xA;      store current light level to variable RIGHT&#xD;&#xA;      if RIGHT &lt; FRONT // the light probably moved to the left&#xD;&#xA;        rotate 20 degrees to the left // twice the amount in the previous turn&#xD;&#xA;      // else the light probably moved to the right, where we are currently headed&#xD;&#xA;      // so there is no need to rotate further, just continue with the next iteration, &#xD;&#xA;      // checking if we see the light now&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This way the follower will go after the leader while it is headed in the right way, but when the follower loses the leader, it stops and turns around to look for the light.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This method however has a drawback. If the follower is slower than the leader, it will be left behind during the &quot;stop and look around&quot; phases, but if the follower is faster, it will run into the leader from the back.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You could remedy this by giving the leader a bumper on the back connected to a push button (pressure sensor), and program the leader to only move forward when something (probably the follower) has pushed into its back bumper.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Let me know if you need additional help."

My son, when he was three, was playing with regular System Lego (of which Juniors is a subset) and it was okay.

Stuff like the Juniors kits, or Duplo, gets to be too babyish after a couple years, but the regular stuff is still good forever. So if you just want your son to build, get a box of basic bricks (regular Lego bricks, not Duplo) and let him build. There are no instructions for him to worry about.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If he has any interest or aptitude he'll be ready for the kits that say they're for 5+ or 6+ in no time, and those kits will mesh well with the stuff you've already bought."

It seems that the locomotive is extremely sensitive to any curve or gap in the tracks. The front wheels are attached via a technic pin, and essentially float under the front of the boiler, but the pin only really allows for lateral movement and not vertical. Thus, when the tender pushes the locomotive, if there is anything that causes the rear of the locomotive to  drop slightly or be twisted, the front wheels will lift and the train falls off the tracks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The problem is worse, but not limited to, the flexible track. Sometimes a simple curve is sufficient, and the switch tracks are also problematic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I tried putting a boat weight inside the boiler, This makes the locomotive heavier but doesn't really apply much force on the front wheels, and it means the center of gravity of the locomotive is not well placed for taking corners.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The other change I've made is to how the IR sensor is mounted in the locomotive. I rebuilt the roof of the cab so that the sensor pokes up out the top of the roof. I also re-routed the wires between the tender and the locomotive so that they are coming out the bottom of the tender, just above the coupler, and go under the sensor. I also pack them tightly into the locomotive so that there is no slack. This prevents the wires from pushing against the locomotive, which was causing at least a few derailments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, I removed as much flex track as possible, and put 2x4 plates on the track to hold the layout together.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The result is that the train runs acceptably well as long as nobody separates the tender from the locomotive."

The margins are much smaller than they were, and you'll face stiff competition. That said, it is possible to make a profit if you do your research and you're willing to put the effort in. Few of us make a fortune, but many of us make enough to fund the odd purchase for our own collections.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To trade LEGO successfully, you're going to need several things:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. A lot of dedication and enthusiasm for the product.&#xD;&#xA;2. A good source of information.&#xD;&#xA;3. A regular supply of cheap LEGO. Not just any LEGO, but LEGO that is of interest to your target market.&#xD;&#xA;4. A reliable place to sell your LEGO.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, where to source your LEGO?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I am given to understand that TLG won't deal with you at all unless you're able to take substantial quantities of stock - I've heard the figure £40,000, but I can't recall where, and to be honest I question its accuracy. Nevertheless, you're going to have to sell a *lot* of LEGO if you want to deal with them directly, let alone get the big discounts that are reserved for sellers like Amazon and TRU. The remaining ways to buy LEGO from TLG - such as PAB and the replacement parts service - tend to be expensive and unsuitable for bulk purchases. (And forget LUGBULK - the T&amp;Cs prohibit reselling).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You may be able to find a wholesale distributor of LEGO, but this isn't an area on which I am qualified to comment. Furthermore, it may be possible to buy remaindered or damaged stock from wholesalers or resellers. I don't have a lot of experience in this area either, but some time ago I came across auctions for pallet loads of goods, some of which included LEGO. Whether or not this is still a viable approach I couldn't say.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;An alternative - the approach I use - is to buy LEGO from regular retailers when it is on sale. If you research the market you will be able to find sets at substantial reductions, and by combining offers you can pick up 10s of boxes of LEGO at a good discount. Of course, you need to be choosey, as the cost of storing, selling and shipping LEGO quickly eats into your margins. Even though I've been at this game for a while, I still make small losses from time to time. Fortunately, these can be offset by the wins. The main problems with this approach are that (1) the risk that you won't get the returns you expect, (2) supplies are limited to what is on offer at the moment, and (3) you may need to hold on to some sets for a while: getting a good price for your LEGO is often more about timing than anything else.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My final idea - one I have yet to try, but which certainly looks viable - is to consider buying *used* LEGO from private sellers with a view to selling at a higher price. The two general approaches to this are (1) to pick and choose individual sets where you can see a market and a profit, or (2) buy bulk loose LEGO at low prices. Either way, you may end up spending a considerable amount of time sorting, cleaning and replacing LEGO parts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Step 3 on page 5 adds a 2x3 brick that hangs off the side of the board. What is this piece for? It seems kind of extraneous, and the best I could come up with was that maybe this was to attach the baseplate to another baseplate from the set?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Starting on page 16 through page 20, you build 3 towers. The instructions are incredibly vague about where these towers are attached and which orientation they should face. Page 61 is the only place I can see that even shows the towers attached to the buildings, but it only gives you a side view with how overly compressed the images are on the pdf, it's hard to see. Any 3d models of this? or photos of a different angle of the completed models?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Am I correct in thinking pages 62-66 is an alternate build? That isn't intended to be made at the same time as the previous pages? (I'm not missing a ton of pieces am I?) &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. Hinges... The ones added on page 32 in step 17 of the skull-face wall. To what should they attach? They appear to, perhaps, be used to attach the skull-faced build to the two large builds?

[Brickprinter.com][1] also uses a pad printer.  It takes a lot of skill to get the printing to work correctly.  You have to have the proper amount of solvent in the ink to get it to adhere to the part and not smudge.  The solvent also softens the ABS plastic so that the ink actually embeds into the part.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Pad printers are also quite expensive.  On the order of tens of thousands of $$$ for one that will do multiple colors in sequence.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've been looking at using special &quot;direct to substrate&quot; (DTS) printers. There is an inkjet printer that has a 5000+ dpi resolution, can print on ABS using solvent inks, can print on an object upto 2&quot; thick, and also has the capability of printing pigmented white ink (so you don't have to only print on white bricks).  This printer is also expensive, though not as expensive as a pad printer.  Used on eBay runs about $5000.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For the general user, it's probably best to stick with water slide decals, since the average cost of a 8.5&quot;x11&quot; sheet of decal paper is about $1.  There are different kinds of paper (inkjet and laser), so make sure you get the right kind for your printer.  Laser printed decals do not REQUIRE a clear coat to protect them, but I still do.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I also use an ALPS printer that uses resin based inks.  The printer has been discontinued, but the supplies are still available.  Generally colors are printed in layers, but in addition to the cyan, yellow, magenta and black ribbons, there are metallic silver, metallic gold, chrome silver, chrome gold, chrome magenta, chrome cyan and the most important color, white.  This allows ALPS owners to lay down a layer of white (opaque), then add the semi-transparent (cyan, yellow and magenta) inks on top.  Kodak used to make a printer (First Check) that used compatible ink cartridges and they also produced a Red, Blue, Green and Orange ink.  Useful if you can find them, but pretty much impossible to find.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.brickprinter.com" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Here is my reasoning:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;First, we need to understand a key term: Microscale. In Lego terms, microscale means anything smaller than minifig scale. Here is the definition from the *Lego MBA Designer Handbook: Kit 2 - Microbuild Designer*:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![scan of Lego MBA Handbook showing microscale definition][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By that definition, both the traditional &quot;microfig&quot; found in the games and a few other sets as well as the statuette would be considered microscale.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Nonetheless, Lego has provided at least one source that names the figure generically, the Lego Digital Designer software. There, part 90398 is named a &quot;mini figure trophy&quot;:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![screen capture of LDD software showing mini figure trophy name][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For comparison, here is the traditional microfig in the LDD software:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Several online sources use the term &quot;trophy statuette&quot;, including [Bricklink][4] and [Rebrickable][5].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Based on these sources, I would call the new figures &quot;trophy figures&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There was one previous example, by the way, of this part being printed with character detail in a set:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![screen capture of Lego.com part inventory showing Jack Sparrow &quot;voodoo doll&quot; figure included in Queen Anne's Revenge set][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/eatHX.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/k1zcu.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/azUHk.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=90398&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://rebrickable.com/search?q=90398&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/zdHgE.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

One thing that many answers don't talk about is that different glues are good for different purposes so my input will revolve around that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A little background. I've been building Lego for multiple decades though only recently started using glue as I've started making art and design for other people through my side business and almost unanimously they want something permanent. I make small delicate designs (I am being intentionally vague here since I don't want to look like I am advertising), mosaics, and large company logos.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The mosaics are made by taking the large grey baseplate and putting a single layer of plates on it (studs out). For this application I use 100% pure acetone. I take a small brush, dip it in the acetone and brush it on a small section of the baseplate and put the mosaic plates on before it dries. Stays together great and if you don't use too much it won't bleed out and mar the look of the mosaic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For the logos and the small designs, which are built studs up (showing a smooth surface - like building a brick wall), acetone is terrible. Since it melts ABS plastic and is not viscous, it runs along the edges of the bricks creating smudges that don't come out. The end result looks bad especially in those areas where there is a connection between 2 contrasting color bricks. I also tried hobby glue (Testor's Cement Glue) and the results were not great but for different reasons. This glue is very viscous but what happens is when you apply it, it trails thin strands of glue that you need to clean up before it dries. When you squeeze the bricks together (a very tight fit), the glue squirts out and if you wipe it away it mars the glossy surface of the brick. That and that stuff smells so bad it makes you sick. What I have settled on is what Jay mentioned above: **Zap-A-Gap**. It is viscous enough to not run, does not thin out to strands, doesn't smell nearly as bad as the other glues, and dries really, really strong. I put on a small amount on the back of the brick so that the front surface looks untouched. I just finished a 30' square logo with a Lego frame and I can pick up the piece from its frame without any give. Still looking for a better solution, but Zap-A-Gap is the best for this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sorry for the long post, hope this helps!" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

ABS is processed at around 200C (don't know temp used at LEGO). After filling the mould the whole brick must cool down again. To keep the brick shape stable, this process must happen at the same rate through the brick. If parts of the brick are thicker than others this takes more time to cool, which can cause the brick to deform during production, so it doesn't meet its tight tolerance spec.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I can't really come up with a Lego brick shape that is locally much thicker than the rest of the part."

[This page][1] explains a little about that:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; As the plastic solidifies in the mold, it freezes from the outside (near the mold surface) toward the inside. In thick sections, this results in inward pulling stresses (due to contraction) that can cause sink marks in the outer surfaces of the part. In addition, because thinner sections will freeze faster than thicker sections, there is also the possibility of stresses building up between thick and thin sections, resulting in part warpage. &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; ![molding errors][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The reason that the stud is open is because that area of the part couldn't be reached from the bottom as usual due to the closed slope underneath. The constraint of uniform thickness forces either the top or bottom of a stud to be open. This is the same basic reason that the studs on Technic beams are open as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.protolabs.com/injection-molding/fundamentals-of-molding/wall-thickness-uniform&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/SjGjr.gif" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

They have web forms or a toll-free phone number you can call. They are willing and trained to speak to children, and can even send out replacement pieces without talking to an adult, as long as the child can recite their full address. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The LEGO Group stands behind their products 100%, even if the problem with the product wasn't their fault. If the pieces are all in stock, they will send them out to you at no charge.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These parts come from their warehouse in Denmark, so they may take a longer time to receive than a regular order. Shipping times are affected by customs and other international shipping issues. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the total cost to replace the parts is higher than a certain %age of the value of the entire set, then they'll likely just send you an entire new set from their local warehouse. For more expensive sets, they may also have you send back the incomplete set (they'll provide the free shipping). Whether they need the damaged set back first depends on the situation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some parts individual parts may be on back order. More complicated pieces (such as Iron Man's helmet) tend to stock-out or end up on back order more quickly than standard pieces. If this happens, Customer Service will work with you to achieve the most satisfying solution. Sometimes this means trying to return the product back to the store you purchased it from, but it's not ideal. Those sets might end up back on the shelf (sometimes clearanced, sometimes not), and then another customer ends up with the same problem. Sometimes it means sending a low-priced &quot;gift&quot; to help alleviate the pain of waiting for you product to arrive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The LEGO Group understands that you're likely a *victim* in this situation. You bought a product that someone else essentially stole from. They'll make it right, even though it's not their fault. For manufacturing or other issues that *are* their fault, they may even go above and beyond in making it right.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The LEGO Group takes several measures to ensure that their boxes are fully-packed. They weigh and scan the elements. However, there can still be issues on this front.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When the issues are on the production end, they're usually related to:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Missing bags or prepacks (the little bags inside of big bags)&#xD;&#xA; - Missing large, unusual, or loose pieces (think ship masts, sails, sticker sheets, BURPs)&#xD;&#xA; - Missing small elements that don't weigh enough to affect the weight tolerance&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, when pieces are missing from a variety of bags, it's often a sign that the set has been tampered with *after* production. So, to help narrow down production issues versus tampering issues, The LEGO Group has in recent years starting spreading out &quot;high value&quot; elements between the many bags in the set, or putting them in prepacks that are harder to get into. Then, when an entire Minifigure that's spread out over 4 bags is missing, it's easier to tell that it was a tampering issue rather than a production issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Customer Service will ask you some questions to further help narrow down the source of the problem. Every box or package has a manufacturer's code on it somewhere (such as on the tape on the boxes). This code lets them know which facility produced your set, and when the set was made. If enough reports of the same missing pieces from the same lot occur, then TLG can narrow down the problem to a certain time or place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;They may also ask for which store you bought it from. This helps them track local trends. Some stores have a greater problem with returned/exchanged sets that have been tampered with. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Source: Myself.

Also if the part is not laying down from a recognisable angle, you would probably have to flip it or take pictures with multiple cameras in order to get a good look at it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Still, being a software developer myself, this is not the part that worries me.

The EV3 detects when motors are connected and disconnected using the ADC (and gpios). The two 100k resistors are basically a voltage divider, so when the motor is disconnected, the ADC will read 2.5V. If a motor is connected, the motor encoder will either pull the signal high (above 3.7V) or low (between 0.1 and 0.65V). The detection algorithm is actually a bit more involved than this, but this is the general idea.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    For the full details, see the [Device Connection Manager Driver](http://ev3.fantastic.computer/doxygen/DcmDriver.html) and the [actual source code](https://github.com/mindboards/ev3sources/blob/master/lms2012/d_analog/Linuxmod_AM1808/d_analog.c). The documentation is not quite exactly correct, so when in doubt, trust the actual source code and not the comments (documentation is generated from comments).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    And even though you didn't ask about it, I should point out that the transistor (Q10A) is also used as part of the detection.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. You don't show it, but MA1 is connected to pin 2 on the output port, which is one of the motor driver signals, so MA1 could either be battery voltage, floating or ground depending on the state of the motor driver chip (via 1OUTB2). Additionally, the voltage could be steady or PWM depending on the speed and direction the motor is running. Or, MA1 could also be something else if there is no motor plugged in (or something besides a motor is plugged in).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    On NXT sensors, pin 2 is connected to ground (pin 3). In the source code, it looks like this is just used to detect if a NXT sensor is plugged into the output port." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

So, to detect orange, check if:&#xD;&#xA;Hue&gt;30 AND Hue&lt;50 AND saturation&gt;90 AND value&gt;90.&#xD;&#xA;Make sure there is play with your thresholds, otherwise the check will work once in a hundred tries."

Disconnect each cable and re-connect everything. Ensure that the plugs are the right way around (they don't sit right if not) and that they are pushed on properly.&#xD;&#xA; * Check that none of the cables are damaged.&#xD;&#xA; * Connect the battery box directly to the train motor, bypassing the IR receiver. Does the train work now? If so, the problem is either the remote or the receier. If not, the problem is either the battery box or the motor.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Remote / IR Reciever Problems**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the problem is with the controller / IR receiver:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * Make sure that there is nothing blocking the signal between the controller and the IR receiver. Avoid bright sunlight.&#xD;&#xA; * Check that both controller and receiver are on the same channel. There is an orange 4-position switch on both the IR receiver and on the controller, and this determines the channel. Leaving one switch alone, try all 4 positions on the other.&#xD;&#xA; * Check that the batteries are inserted correctly in the remote. Take them out and put them back in again.&#xD;&#xA; * Check that the batteries are aren't worn out. Sometimes even new batteries don't deliver the correct voltage. If you have one, test your batteries with a volt meter. If not, try swapping them with new batteries, or test the batteries in something else to make sure they're OK.&#xD;&#xA; * Check that the battery terminals are not corroded. Sometimes corrosion isn't obvious. Try taking the batteries out and putting them back in again, or twisting them around until they may contact.&#xD;&#xA; * You may be able to check that the controller is sending a signal. Although you can't see the flashes of IR light yourself, you may find that you can use a digital camera (such as a mobile phone camera) to see the flashes of light when you use the controls on the controller.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These images are from the LEGO web site, which contains more information on both the [controller][1] and [IR receiver][2]:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![IR Receiver][3]&#xD;&#xA;![Controller][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Battery Box / Motor Problems**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Check the batteries in the battery box, following steps 3-5 above. The little green light should come on when they're OK and the battery box is switched on (the green button is the on-off switch).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is [a great description of the battery box][5] on the LEGO web site, which might help explain things better than I can.

The MaT kits, however, seem to be a little more ad-hoc, but at the end you still end up with a build that has a full instruction sheet and a decent handful of parts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;An example of a MMMB set is [40127, a space shuttle.](http://rebrickable.com/sets/40127-1/monthly-mini-model-build-february-2015-space-shuttle-monthly-mini-model-build-2015), which was February 2015's MMMB.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;An example of a MaT is [Emmet's Car](http://rebrickable.com/sets/EMMETSCAR-1/emmet039%3Bs-car-the-lego-movie-2014) which was available at Toys R Us at different times depending on your country (the events are not coordinated like the Lego Store events are).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you may surmise from my use of Rebrickable links, I like to keep a detailed list of all the kits I and my kids own. However, Emmet's car is the only example of a MaT kit I've found. Is there a detailed list of the kits that have been given away, with instructions, inventory, etc?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm primarily interested in finding the MaT kits on Rebrickable, but if they're not there I'll accept info from other sources. I'm mostly interested in MaT kits given away at Toys R Us in Canada, but for other people's benefit would like to know about kits like this from other retailers, or in other countries."

[ME Models][3] sells LEGO curve sets with bigger radius than the standard R40 LEGO curves. Their [R56 curve pack][4] costs $19 for a half-circle (so $38 for a full circle) plus shipping. They have several other radia as well, but those will cost more. From what I've read the fit with &quot;normal&quot; LEGO is very good and train enthusiasts love these rails.&#xD;&#xA; 2. If you don't mind the extra pieces, you can make curves out of straight rails by using [this technique (youtube)][5] . The train's movement will be a little jerky but otherwise it works well. You'll just need a lot of space as the radius of such an oval is very large. But most LUGs use this technique in their train layouts, so it is &quot;endorsed by professionals&quot;. Basically, you offset the outside joint by half a stud every rail using a 1x3 and a 1x2 jumper. The upside is that you can use this technique to make the outside of the curve 1 plate higher than the inside of the curve to allow your train to &quot;bend&quot; through the curve just like trains in real-life do.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/High-speed-Passenger-Train-60051&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Switching-Tracks-7895&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.me-models.com&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.me-models.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=22_57_59&amp;products_id=158&amp;osCsid=p7umes3p9rt718qi6g31qqtss3&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-9DbhEs37k" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The standard train curves are 1/16th of a circle and thus an oval shape is not possible, however, with 64 pieces of flex track you could make an oval by squashing the circle a bit. 7499 comes with 16 flexible tracks, so you'll need 4 of them to make a regular train circle.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The [flex track can be used to make a smaller circle than the regular track](http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=28322):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;but as TheBrickBlogger pointed out, the flex track has performance issues and such a tight circle will be difficult for your trains to navigate. The trains tend to fall off if conditions are not perfect. Over Christmas I built a large layout under my Christmas tree and I had to remove all the flex track in order to prevent derailing. Part of that was due to my train design, part of it was due to the fact that the track was sitting on a mix of carpet and hardwood flooring, but part of it was that the train is very sensitive to bumps in the track and flex track exacerbated those issues. Depending on your engine design you might have more or fewer issues. If you are just pushing the train by hand, it will probably be fine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also keep in mind that the standard lego train car with fixed (not swiveling) wheels can only navigate a certain minimum radius. Lego puts the wheels 10 studs apart so that they can just barely make it around the fixed curves. If you build the small flex circle, or squash a 64-flex-track circle into an oval, your tightest curves will for sure be too tight for those cars to navigate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Normally Lego sells curved track in an expansion kit. It seems that right now (May 2015) the only kit is the [7895 Switching track kit](http://shop.lego.com/en-CA/Switching-Tracks-7895). That kit comes with 4 curved rails and so you'd need to buy 4 of them to make a circle. If that's not your ideal choice of parts, then Bricklink would be best. Or, use this as an excuse to buy a whole train kit, which comes with track, train cars, motors, etc. You can never have too much Lego.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/y3gxe.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Text="So I've been referring to this post for a long time and I figured it is time to put in my experiences. One thing that many answers don't talk about is that different glues are good for different purposes so my input will revolve around that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A little background. I've been building Lego for multiple decades though only recently started using glue as I've started making art and design for other people through my side business and almost unanimously they want something permanent. I make small delicate designs (I am being intentionally vague here since I don't want to look like I am advertising), mosaics, and large company logos.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The mosaics are made by taking the large grey baseplate and putting a single layer of plates on it (studs out). For this application I use 100% pure acetone. I take a small brush, dip it in the acetone and brush it on a small section of the baseplate and put the mosaic plates on before it dries. Stays together great and if you don't use too much it won't bleed out and mar the look of the mosaic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For the logos and the small designs, which are built studs up (showing a smooth surface - like building a brick wall), acetone is terrible. Since it melts ABS plastic and is not viscous, it runs along the edges of the bricks creating smudges that don't come out. The end result looks bad especially in those areas where there is a connection between 2 contrasting color bricks. I also tried hobby glue (Testor's Cement Glue) and the results were not great but for different reasons. This glue is very viscous but what happens is when you apply it, it trails thin strands of glue that you need to clean up before it dries. When you squeeze the bricks together (a very tight fit), the glue squirts out and if you wipe it away it mars the glossy surface of the brick. That and that stuff smells so bad it makes you sick. What I have settled on is what Jay mentioned above: **Zap-A-Gap**. It is viscous enough to not run, does not thin out to strands, doesn't smell nearly as bad as the other glues, and dries really, really strong. I put on a small amount on the back of the brick so that the front surface looks untouched. I just finished a 30&quot; square logo with a Lego frame and I can pick up the piece from its frame without any give. Still looking for a better solution, but Zap-A-Gap is the best for this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sorry for the long post, hope this helps!" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Use Technic pins and 1x2 bricks to connect parts of your model in the same way as the Modular Sets have done. The technique works well for buildings, planes, boats and just about any kind of large model.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![picture showing 1x2 Technic bricks][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Transport ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Remove as many small parts likely to fall off in transportation as you possibly can and place them in a sealed plastic bag or other suitable container. Place the rest of the model with the extra parts in a cardboard/plastic box. The box is essential for catching any other fragile pieces that fall off the model. You may also use bubble wrap or tissue paper to pad the box as much as you can. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Once your Lego model has completed it's journey allow yourself some time to fix inevitable damage. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Collapsible Structures ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a fairly novel idea, which I haven't seen done before. Flickr user Legozilla has built a model that is [specifically designed with transport in mind][2]. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This particular design is unlikely to be damaged in transport. The flatpacked version of this model is significanly more space spacing compared to its 'built state' where it's volume is probably 90% air.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Occasionally, we need to fill in a spot in a display because a member&#xD;&#xA;&gt; needs to be late to a show or some other circumstance. To meet that&#xD;&#xA;&gt; need, I have a couple of buildings that I tote around to fill such a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; gap. This set of buildings is modular, and collapsible so that it's&#xD;&#xA;&gt; easy to transport and flexible enough to fit in most corners of a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; layout. It's also fun to fold and unfold just to watch people's&#xD;&#xA;&gt; reaction.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/g7Ux2.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://www.flickr.com/photos/legozilla/sets/72157629083690682&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/lTQ0y.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/MTRFk.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/sgFUa.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Instead, just get a current set, such as [31017 Sunset Speedster](http://shop.lego.com/en-CA/Sunset-Speeder-31017), which is still available at its regular price. Or check out the line of [Speed Champions](http://shop.lego.com/en-CA/Speed-Champions-ByTheme).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My reasoning is that a small child does not care about the vintage of a set and is not completing a collection, so any particular set is equivalent to any other. The sports car model is one that Lego refreshes every so often and there is almost always one available for sale, and you can usually get it at a discount. But all retired sets increase in price on the secondary market and I'd say you are getting zero value for your extra money if you hand this set to a child. They will love the set but not care at all if it's rare or hard to find.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for how age-appropriate such a set is, it depends on the child. The Creator sets are fairly easy to build, usually. My 5 year old has little difficulty building them, though he has a fair amount of Lego experience. If your son has already built several models, these sets should be fine, even if the ages say 7 or 8 and up. I find that Lego's age recommendations are too conservative for my household, but YMMV.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Addressing your point about wanting to build with gears, etc. Most Creator models have minimal gears involved. Certainly the sports cars do not have working steering or anything like that. Creator sets almost never feature that sort of functionality except on the largest models. When there are moving parts, they are typically just hinged.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you want something that features actual gears, steering, etc, you need to peruse the Technic line. Most of that is fairly complex. It's aimed at an older audience and I'd wager your 5 year old isn't ready for it - at least, mine wouldn't be. If Technic is too complicated, you might try one of these:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Fairground Mixer](http://shop.lego.com/en-CA/Fairground-Mixer-10244)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Ferris Wheel](http://shop.lego.com/en-CA/Ferris-Wheel-10247)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;They are large models, fairly expensive, that feature both brick-built devices and mechanical movements. Both can be motorized by adding a motor (sold separately). Both are large sets that display well, but feature lots of play features. The Mixer, especially, is very cleverly constructed. I'd say both are too advanced for a 5 year old, but with a parent's help, and some patience, they should be possible." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Different from [Mike Schropp][1] and [greenyouse][2], I am planing to build an upright case.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*(This is a general &quot;strongest LEGO structure&quot; question. Using the structures in building the computer case is just an example of applications.)*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To make it more challenging (and more perfect), the case will have handles (like [this type][3]) for carrying the whole thing around, and it will have &quot;legs&quot; (like [this bar type][4]) to lift the whole case up for ventilation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*For better reference, here is the coordinate notation:*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are 4 parts (for now I can think of) in the case which has to encounter different types of strength challenges:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1.

From his experiments, [the Flemish structure][14] is a clear winner.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Like [the pillar problem][15], I wonder why not stack plates/bricks up along the X/Y axis, instead of the Z axis?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My suggestion is basically the structure of the pillar rotated clockwise along the Y axis, and extending it along the Y axis.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][16]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For those who have not read the pillar section yet, this is simply stacking up plates along the Y axis.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Same as the pillar, there is a risk of the plates separating due to the weight. So I make a &quot;doughnut&quot; to secure the plates.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][17]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here is how they look like together.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][18]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I assume using longer plates will be better than short plates, because fewer connecting points, lower risk to separate, isn't it? However, in the [presentation mentioned above][19], the result suggests that a mix of long and short plates has the most strength. Does this theory apply to my &quot;Y axis structure&quot;? And how long and how short combinations will be the best?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In addition, in my &quot;Y axis structure&quot;, will using bricks instead of plates be stronger?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, thing is more difficult here than [the pillar][20]. It is because the tension is **not** only pulled along the X axis. Instead, the weight is applied down the Z axis, and tension is all along the X and Y axis. So I assume this structure, when used as floor, will be a lot weaker than used in the pillar.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please suggest any of your structure ideas which will be the strongest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.totalgeekdom.com/?p=1725&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Build-a-Lego-Computer/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.nocompromisegaming.com/img/lanboy.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.guru3d.com/miraserver/images/2012/corsair-vengeance-c70/IMG_6232.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZbJWY.png&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/6401/strongest-lego-structuce-1-pillars&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: http://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/6402/strongest-lego-structuce-2-floor&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/B8d1i.png&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/huazy.png&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/RdAWU.png&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: http://www.robertcailliau.eu/Lego/Dimensions/zMeasurements-en.xhtml&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1viIjcJRMEMmeSatOs5Cq9scZhjSnbHu72Wvng7msTzQ/edit?pli=1#slide=id.p&#xD;&#xA;  [13]: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1viIjcJRMEMmeSatOs5Cq9scZhjSnbHu72Wvng7msTzQ/edit?pli=1#slide=id.gc4fd8cc_0_32&#xD;&#xA;  [14]: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1viIjcJRMEMmeSatOs5Cq9scZhjSnbHu72Wvng7msTzQ/edit?pli=1#slide=id.gc4fd8cc_0_59&#xD;&#xA;  [15]: http://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/6401/strongest-lego-structuce-1-pillars&#xD;&#xA;  [16]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/s5nwz.png&#xD;&#xA;  [17]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/KCvtQ.png&#xD;&#xA;  [18]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Q5O25.png&#xD;&#xA;  [19]: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1viIjcJRMEMmeSatOs5Cq9scZhjSnbHu72Wvng7msTzQ/edit?pli=1#slide=id.p&#xD;&#xA;  [20]: http://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/6401/strongest-lego-structuce-1-pillars" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This means that new/fully charged batteries will provide a total of 9V for Alkaline and 7.2V for NiMH. The EV3 is programmed to show low battery somewhere around 6.2V and turn itself off around 5.5V. There is no option a available to tell the EV3 the difference between these two types of batteries. The EV3 was designed for Alkaline batteries. You won't get good performance from NiMH with the EV3.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;LEGO also makes a [rechargeable Li-ion battery pack](http://shop.lego.com/en-US/EV3-Rechargeable-DC-Battery-45501). Being designed for the EV3, this battery is properly sized for comparable performance to Alkaline batteries. Be aware though, that this battery pack makes the EV3 one LEGO beam width taller, which could require some models to need to be adjusted to accommodate the extra size. Also, when you remove the batteries from the EV3, you will notice a small black circle in the battery compartment. This is actually a button that lets the EV3 know that the battery pack is installed rather than regular Alkaline batteries. This lets it adjust the battery gauge and low battery alarm for the slightly different voltages of the rechargeable battery pack." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

You could send an email to the guys at [minifigs.me](http://www.minifigs.me) and see if they would be willing to help you with this, either as a one-off job (but it will cost you) or as an offering they wish to add to their collection. Their contact form is [here].(http://minifigs.me/make-me-a-minifig/contact/)&#xD;&#xA; 2. You could try and do this yourself. Removing the existing print from&#xD;&#xA;    a raptor fig should be relatively easy ([this article at&#xD;&#xA;    Eurobricks](http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=4878&amp;pid=78048&amp;st=0&amp;#entry78048)&#xD;&#xA;    recommends Brasso and a paper towel/rag/cotton ball) even though&#xD;&#xA;    that is very mildly abrasive and hence might leave some minor&#xD;&#xA;    scratches. [Brickjournal](http://www.brickjournal.com/) ran a series&#xD;&#xA;    of articles back in 2008 about minifig customization - I found [this&#xD;&#xA;    online&#xD;&#xA;    copy](http://www.fineclonier.com/101_2v2_Altering_the_color_of_LEGO_elements_-_Paints,_Dyes,_&amp;_More.pdf) that explains how to give LEGO pieces a new paint color - they&#xD;&#xA;    recommend acrylic paint. I also found [this link](http://www.customminifig.co.uk/custom-lego-painting-guide/) describing how to prime &amp; paint LEGO minifigures. They recommend priming and sealing on top of an acrylic paint job.&#xD;&#xA; 3. To get the finer details, consider using a Sharpie pen.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Net - Customizing your velociraptor is definitely possible, but there is no &quot;ready-to-go&quot; customization service for this yet. Doing it yourself can be done, but it is not easy nor quick to do this, especially not if you're doing it the first time. Definitely not a job for kids." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I've used it for gluing LEGO pieces onto a curved metal surface, and was very happy with the results.  It's a little tricky to work with because it's such sticky stuff, but once you get the hang of it, it's not too bad.  What's great about it is you have a fairly long working time to get the glue on your pieces and get them into place before it dries out. Also it is very strong, and stays flexible, which will be essential to hold up to the vibrations of a car.  One trick will be holding things in place while the glue cures.  Maybe try doing small sections at a time, and using tape to hold the pieces in place.  Also consider gluing pieces onto baseplates, and then gluing the baseplates to your car roof.  It has a strong odor, not terribly unpleasant, but you might not want to drive your car for a few days after gluing.  Good luck!" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The air supply would also not be trivial, hoses would look and work awfully, and integrated compressors would take up a lot of space in addition to the usually installed electrical components. This could be eased by building a separate wagon (or more) for them and routing the electrical current and air hoses between the wagons and the engine.&#xA;&#xA;For some examples watch [these][1] two [videos][2].&#xA;&#xA;Another way would be building tipper wagons that use pneumatics, then you'd probably have less color clash, the same with using pneumatics to open and close the doors on passenger carriages (maybe linking more doors to a single cylinder).&#xA;&#xA;A pneumatically powered rail crane would also look and work great, provided that you can fit all the control valves into the structure.&#xA;&#xA;For stationary applications track switches are mentioned in the other answer, but you can also power boom gates at level crossings and cranes at cargo terminals. In these cases you would have a much easier time fitting all the components, but the hoses could become way too long.&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;  [1]: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zAu8olHzPUQ&#xA;  [2]: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rlD4iDbkJ5k" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It encounters a bump in the shape of a half-sphere, approximately 2 inches across, on the right side. The right front wheel will encounter the bump first. As the vehicle drives two inches over the bump, the rear wheels both travel two inches. However, the right front wheel, following the shape of the bump, travels pi x 1 (the radius of the bump) inches, or approximately 3.1 in. Since the right front wheel covered a farther distance than the rear wheels during the same period of time, it went faster than they did. This translates to a slight difference in speed between the front driveshaft and the rear one, which is easily handled by the center diff. However, the same scenario applied to a vehicle with no center diff could bend or break the driveshaft, as the rear section and front section try to go at different speeds. At LEGO scale, however, this difference could probably be absorbed by the flexibility of LEGO parts without incurring any damage. " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Take pictures of your building, of as many sides as possible&#xD;&#xA; 2. Take measurements or find blueprints of the building. Length, width, height, height between floors, size of balconies etc.&#xD;&#xA; 3. Convert these dimensions to LEGO dimensions. For this, figure out the scale you want to build in first (e.g. 1:40, which is &quot;minifig scale&quot; - but check out [this post](http://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/540/is-there-a-standard-scale-for-building-minifig-scale-creations) for some caveats). You can use [Sariel's calculator](http://studs.sariel.pl/) to find out what this means for how many bricks you need.&#xD;&#xA; 4. For best results, design the whole building in [LEGO Digital Designer (LDD)](http://ldd.lego.com/en-us/download) or [LDraw](http://www.ldraw.org) first. This will save you from making unnecessary brick purchases before you have finalized your model&#xD;&#xA; 5. Get a brick inventory from LDD/LDraw once you have your final model. &#xD;&#xA; 6. Use a service like [Bricklink](http://www.bricklink.com) or [BrickOwl](http://www.brickowl.com) or Lego's own [Pick-a-Brick](http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Pick-A-Brick-ByTheme) to buy the bricks you need in the quantities necessary, after accounting for all the bricks you already have. Alternatively, you can look at other available sets to see if some of them carry the bricks you need in large quantities - this might be cheaper (you could even sell the not-needed bricks back via BrickLink etc.)."

The first is a program called [&lt;strike&gt;Dolphin&lt;/strike&gt; Brickr][1]. It works very well, as you can see in this image of Yoshi:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Yoshi Lego Sculpture][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;strike&gt;The downside to this program is that it only runs on Macs,&lt;/strike&gt; This runs on both Windows and Macs now and the output format is a series of images, one for each layer. So you can't import it into MLCAD or your favorite Lego building software. I was looking for something that uses the [.ldr format][4].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another program is [LSculpt][5]. This worked okay but I couldn't seem to get great results.&#xD;&#xA;I'll been using a 3D model of [Nautilus][6] for my examples. Here is a picture of the LSculpt results:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Nautilus Lego Sculpture][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The **black** version was created from [**LSculpt**][8] and the **blue** version was creating using my **alternate method**. It is also worth mentioning there is another technique, a [3ds Max][9] script called [Legolizer][10]. Unfortunately, I don't have 3ds Max so that wasn't an option for me. I wanted to do this using only open source software on Windows. Here is how you do it:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Step 1 - Scale your 3D model ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You need to scale your model down by a factor of `.833`. I used MeshLab and the process that it described in the [Dolphin manual][11].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Step 2 - Convert a 3D model into a binvox file ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is done using a program called `binvox.exe`. You can read about it and find the download link on this [minecraft wiki][12]. All you need to do is to download `binvox.exe` and then copy your 3D model into that folder. Open command prompt, `cd` into that folder, and run a command that looks something like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    binvox nautilus.obj -d 128 -rotz -rotz&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;`nautilus.obj` is the name of my 3D model, `-d 128` specifies the size (128 x 128 x 128 voxels), and `-rotz` and `-rotx` will rotate the model. **You will have to experiment to get the right rotation, or your bricks won't face up at the end.** You might want to start with `-d 32` to speed up the process until you get the orientation right, which you won't find out until the end. The output from this is a file with the name `nautilus.binvox`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Step 3 - Install Cygwin (optional if you know what you're doing) ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would recommend installing [cygwin][13] for the following steps, since that is what I used, but you don't necessarily need it. You just need a way to run `c++` and `Perl` programs. When you install it you can select packages, make sure you install the package named `perl` and the package named `gcc-g++`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Step 4 - Convert the binvox file to a readable txt file using `read_binvox` ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Download [this][14] program called [read_binvox][15]. Make sure it is saved as `read_binvox.cc`. Then copy your `.binvox` file into the same folder. Open Cygwin and `cd` into that folder. Then run&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    g++ read_binvox.cc -o read_binvox&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;to compile the program. Next, you can run it with&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    read_binvox nautilus.binvox&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will create an output file called `voxels.txt`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Step 5 - Convert `voxels.txt` into your .ldr file ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I wrote a program in `Perl` that will convert the `voxels.txt` into a `.ldr` file. Create a new file named `binvox2ldr.pl` in the same directory as your `voxels.txt` file. File it with the contents from [this pastebin][16].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then go back to that directory in cygwin and run the command:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    perl voxels.txt &gt; nautilus.ldr&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This may take a while to run, depending on what size you made the sculpture. The program uses a very basic algorithm for combining bricks together. It may have floating bricks, so I wouldn't recommend just using the parts list from that and expecting a secure, perfect model. But I think it could be a good way to start a design for a sculpture. The script could definitely use some more improvements, but it's a basic start.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Step 6 - Editing and Render ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can use [these instructions][17] from [ldraw.org][18] installing some tools for editing and rendering the sculpture. I used MLCAD to change the color and then rendered it using POV-RAY. Here's what it looks like:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Nautilus Lego render][19]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://lgg.epfl.ch/publications/2013/lego/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/fZ6FD.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LDraw&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://code.google.com/p/lsculpt/&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://www.lolking.net/models/?champion=111&amp;skin=0&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/R9zTo.png&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://code.google.com/p/lsculpt/&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: http://www.autodesk.com/education/free-software/3ds-max&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/legolizer&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: http://lgg.epfl.ch/projects/Lego_data/software/Manual.pdf&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Programs_and_editors/Binvox&#xD;&#xA;  [13]: http://www.cygwin.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [14]: http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~min/binvox/read_binvox.cc&#xD;&#xA;  [15]: http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~min/binvox/binvox.html&#xD;&#xA;  [16]: http://pastebin.com/359iPB5M&#xD;&#xA;  [17]: http://www.ldraw.org/article/104.html&#xD;&#xA;  [18]: http://www.ldraw.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [19]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/4pfGE.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

You just open the bags of parts and pick from the bags (or, as I do, you dump the bags into shallow containers, so that it's easier to see and grab parts, but you don't mix all the bags together.&#xD;&#xA; 2. When you're done you have a bunch of empty containers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The advantage to the 2nd way is that you don't have to spend any time categorizing and sorting parts. You just grab what you need.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only practical advantage to knolling is that you can easily see where parts are, and grab the appropriate ones. You can even count them and compare against the set's inventory to see if any are missing. However, you can achive the sorting goal without knolling, but rather just by separating the parts by type and colour. This is faster, because you don't waste time fastidiously placing things at right angles.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For most Lego kits, I'd argue that even sorting the parts is a waste of time, because the parts are generally not randomly placed in bags. Even if the kit doesn't have numbered bags for different stages of the build, the pieces are not randomly distributed between bags and so you can still easily find things. (If someone else is sorting for you as you build, THAT can save time, but it requires two people, and thus doesn't really save time overall).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When building from your collection, if your collection is sorted (as mine is), knolling or otherwise arranging parts is a big waste of time. It's fastest if each bin of your collection has one type and colour of part and the bin is large enough to hold the pieces loosely. If (as I do) you run out of space for loose parts, you can save space by attaching the pieces together, or fitting them in tightly like a puzzle. This takes an enormous amount of time and, furthermore, wastes time later when you take the parts out to build. The only reason I put up with it is that I don't have unlimited budget and storage space to buy the bins I use for storage.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;TL,DR: knolling is organization taken to extremes. It's based on aesthetic principles and not efficiency. What efficiency it gains can be had for lower cost by simpler organization methods. If you enjoy knolling, go ahead, but it certainly isn't really _helping_. If you can't stop knolling, you might be OCD." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

My theory is that the structure has gotten large enough that the spacing in the bricks is adding up such that your structure is no longer &quot;square&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;According to this page, there is a 0.1mm gap between two bricks attached to a common base. This gap makes it possible to remove the bricks once they've been placed. Also, Lego claims their manufacturing process has a tolerance of 0.01mm (10 microns). With a long enough structure, those mm add up.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Here is an example of the gap in play](https://www.flickr.com/photos/jerac/16262894924)&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are the same number of plates on the left and on the right. The left ones are all pushed together, the right ones are attached to a baseplate (or some other 16-stud plate or brick). Because each plate has a 0.1mm gap, multiplied by 16 plates gives 1.6mm difference. Even if the 0.1mm isn't the right value, you can see that there IS a gap and it is large enough to be significant over a small distance.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When you are building a very large creation, inevitably some things won't want to fit properly. I am building a multi-story building using 1xN bricks for the walls (mostly 1x2 and 1x4 bricks). Each story is the same size as the previous one, and each one is re-inforced by the flooring and internal walls, but it's painfully obvious that the different stories don't fit well together. When I take one story off another, it doesn't want to snap back into position later.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's even possible to take advantage of the gaps to make curves. If you make a long enough wall out of 2x1 bricks, you can [physically bend it into a circle.](http://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/1023/52) &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as advice on how to avoid this problem, I don't really have anything concrete. One thing you could try to do is to space things uniformly, using the same kinds of pieces all the time. If you build a long strip using 2x4 bricks on one side, and 2x2 bricks on the other, you may find that they are not the same length even though they have the same number of studs. Or, design your creation in modular sections, counting on the fact that it will not quite meet at section boundaries. This is how people build bridges: they are frequently designed to allow for expansion and contraction of the bridge sections by placing seams that allow for the change in size as the bridge temperature changes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/FcH4p.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Originally, this solution was hit upon by fans of retro computers wanting to restore old yellowed computer and game consoles to their original color. LEGO fans picked up on it and have had good results. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The solution is essentially hydrogen peroxide with sodium percarbonate added as a catalyst. The bricks are submerged in the solution and placed in UV light (sunlight or under a UV lamp). Depending on the strength of the solution and the light, the process can take several hours to a couple days.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hydrogen peroxide is readily available, although in the US it is usually sold in a fairly weak 3% solution. Sodium percarbonate is the active ingredient in various &quot;Oxy&quot; detergent boosters. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The [old Retr0bright site][3] has information about the chemical reaction that takes place which restores the original bright color. Unfortunately the user discussions are not archived and do not seem to be transferred to the current site. The site owners do not recommend bleach for this purpose. Although a prolonged soaking in bleach solution can remove much of the yellowing, it will also leave pits on the surface of the plastic, causing it to become brittle.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.retr0bright.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://web.archive.org/web/20130126235850/http://retr0bright.wikispaces.com/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

At first he only got that we are building towers, but I directed him toward using only the color that is already in the socle and after two or three wrongly placed colors he got it.  After a few layers he even asked for specific colors to continue a specific tower.  After the towers were high enough, together we inserted some nooks for figures to stand in.  He did most of the building, and I only occasionally changed the orientation of some 2x4 bricks to make the towers more stable by interlocking.

I was able to duplicate her results, so can validate it does work. It is really a modification of a [bamboo copter](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamboo-copter). The 2015 Ninjago Lego Airjitzu series &#xD;&#xA;( Lego #70739, 70740, 70741, 70742, 70743, 70744) are bamboo copters and work on the same basic concept as Anna Vuurzoon's flying machine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Glider design**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Daron Williams (via Drat Glider) and Milan &quot;grohl&quot; Reindl from Czech Republic have both reported making working/flying Lego gliders using mainly Technic cross-axles components.  Both gliders travelled between  20 to 30 feet with the Drat Glider with the bigger wingspan going a bit longer.  The wing cross section is more or less flat (one stud tall airfoil) and acting more like an air sail (paraglider) than an airfoil. Williams uses Lego Plastic sheets from the Mars Exploration Rover Set to cover the wing (wing cowling). Plastic sheets is the lightest wing covering that can be used but Lego does not make very large ones. Reindl uses plastic from garbage bag and tape to cover the wing on his glider - this allows for a bigger but heavier cowling. I have made my own Lego glider using the plastic from Lego store bags as my wing canvas using similar construction techniques as Williams and Reindl . My preliminary indoor flying test validate the results by Williams and Reindl.  Milan Reindl is now a Lego Group junior designer (you can see his profile on [Lego Technic Designer Profile][1]).  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/1769&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CQcCoZ9rcY&#xD;&#xA;  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**The Challenge:** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lego does not make a quality aerial propeller or water/hydrodaulic screw-prop with a fuel efficient power stroke. The aerial propeller design for an all-electric aircraft have already be optimized by the Radio control aircraft community and can be fitted to a Technic axle but modern aerial prop design need to run from 4000 to 10000 rpm and use poly lithuim batery packs and motors that run at higher current and voltage than the Lego power function components. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Vuurzoon design takes a lot of torque/power to fly and uses the power that it is given inefficiently. The only thing going for the Vuurzoon prop design is that it has the most efficient rotor angle to create lift. The Vuurzoon design uses hand power instead of electrical power and thus avoids the low power limitation of Lego electrical motors and battery pack systems.  Lego motors without gearing don't go above 2000 rpm at their set voltage/current level and have a high weight to power ratio which is bad for flying. Going over an 8:1 gearing causes a Lego motor to lose so much power/torque that any propellers slow down due to wind resistance (even the most energy efficient  light weight two blade electrical propellers has this problem).  Lego motors can go a bit faster if pumped with higher current and higher voltage from a non standard non-lego power source (e.g. poly-Lithium +15V power pack) but many believe this will shorten the motor lifespan.  Lego Power Function electrical packs are also too heavy for flight  the lightest battery pack is a Li-ion rechargable pack which weights about 75 grams. The heaviest Lego battery pack is the AA battery pack with alkline batteries which weights 195 grams&amp;nbsp;— which is enough to sink a two catamaran hull or a large single hulled lego boat.&#xD;&#xA;Standard Lego bricks are too heavy for an heavier-than-air airframe. The lightest Lego parts that can be used as an air frame are the technic axles followed by the half width technic beams— both are only semi-ridge so some bracing is need if air frame rigidity is required. In order to get a battery pack light enough and with sufficient voltage levels to fly as part of the aircraft&amp;nbsp;— Lego needs to have to Lithium polymer battery pack kicking out between 18vdc to 30vdc&amp;nbsp;— at those voltage levels the mini hi RPM motors used on Quadcopters and helicopter toys can start to be posssible.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Analysis of other attempts&#xD;&#xA;--------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Lego Quadcopter**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are several efforts to use Lego to make the frame of a quadcopter and uses a non lego high speed lightweight motors, hi powered batteries, and electric propeller. The high speed  motors usually run at 3400 to 15000 rpm @ 13 to 30 vdc and are very light weight. In addition it is using a non lego Poly-Lithium power pack some output as high as 30vdc even with heavy current drains. Some are using a Arudino microprocessor like device for remote communication. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkrTJh0H1fs&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://robotsquare.com/2012/03/02/flying-lego/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://tinkernology.blogspot.com/2010/08/lego-nxt-quadcopter-no-really.html&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://www.suasnews.com/2012/12/20276/drone-made-of-lego-takes-flight/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Lego NXT Blimp-Airship**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A lighter than air Lego Airship which was made by The Lego Group for a European Lego show/convention&amp;nbsp;— uses Lego education propellers (from the renewable energy kit) and standard Lego motors and power supply. Prototype (non-commerical, custom made) helium balloons are used to create a neutral buoyancy so that the propellers can create lift and push the airship forward.  The Lego airship (called the C5) was demonstrated in an auditorium/stadium with a very high ceiling (there is no wind of any kind that the Airship would have to overcome).    &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GefwcBUioAE&#xD;&#xA;  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.lego.com/en-us/technic/technicfan/bios/milan-reindl" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Export the LDD file as a .lxfml file as opposed to the standard .lxf. Using a text editor on your computer (such as notepad) you can directly adjust the co-ordinates of the pieces to overlap. However, If you do move the parts apart, you will need to manually put them back together by editing the file. You can find more about LXFML [here](http://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/1349/explaination-of-lxfml-file-contents).&#xD;&#xA; - **Different Parts.** Use different parts that perform the same function as the Technic beam, or don't include the part at all.&#xD;&#xA; - **Other Software**. You may find it easier to build your model in other LEGO CAD software packages such as lDraw. It should be possible to export your model as it is now and import it into most LEGO CAD applications.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/rFVHu.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

So our idea still seems feasible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A **problem** is ordering the correct plates in the correct color per order in a cheap and straightforward way (although this could initially be done through PAB), so we contacted LEGO, explained our idea, and asked if they could provide us with a more straightforward/cheaper way of ordering. To be clear: BrickLink is too cumbersome given fluctuating brick availability/prices and multiple shipping fees when ordering through multiple vendors, and stocking up on LEGO K-boxes is economically infeasible given the &quot;color x plate size&quot; combinations that are needed (each K box only contains a brick of a single size and color).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;LEGO's response: **our idea would/could be in violation of LEGO's Fair-Use Policy (FUP), and we might want to talk to an IP lawyer before proceeding**. We don't fully understand this; if we clearly state (at the top of our page and well visible) that our product is not created by the LEGO company, that we are not affiliated with the LEGO company, and that we only use official LEGO bricks (bought, e.g., through PAB) to create our own end product (the mosaic) without using the LEGO logo anywhere, how is that a breach of the FUP? If I build, e.g., a computer using parts of different vendors, I can still sell it as my own brand of computer, as is done by many vendors/computer stores. The same holds for cars and many other machines. How would this be any different from using LEGO blocks as &quot;ingredients&quot; for a product that one wants to sell? Let's make it even more explicit: **[Brickmania][1] seems to be doing exactly the same thing**: commercially selling custom LEGO kits (war-related; something which LEGO itself doesn't do) using actual LEGO bricks (no knock-offs) and they seem to be allowed to do so (by the way, they do a good job as far as making clear that their products are not produced by the LEGO company goes).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So it has become quite unclear to us if something like this is or isn't allowed (the initial response by LEGO read as a standard response sent to anyone who might be breaching the FUP - but we somehow doubt if this is really the case for us). **If we make abundantly clear that our product isn't created by the LEGO company and if we follow the rules when it comes to (not) using the LEGO logo, licensed brand names, etc., shouldn't that be enough**?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;P.S.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We don't want to use knock-offs and understand that LEGO needs to protect its own brand, but by providing a response like this, we have (ironically) been considering using clone bricks (if possible), while we'd actually like to use quality LEGO bricks that customers can mix with their existing bricks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.brickmania.com/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Many sellers there accept cash, checks or money orders, so you don't necessarily need paypal or a credit card. However if you would like to work on fixing the bite-marks on the head you pictured above, there are several things you can do: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. If the bite-marks are not too deep, you can sand down the area with very fine sand-paper to make it more even. The sand-paper must be very fine, otherwise the surface would end up getting even, but rough. I have found wet and dry sand-papers the best as it can provide a very smooth finish.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. You could try your nail-varnish idea, but please note that nail-varnish actually melts the plastic, so use only very little. You might also try other type of clear varnish that is fairly thick. Make sure you try it first on a piece you don't care for to see how it reacts with the plastic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Because plastic is fairly soft, I found that sometimes you can smooth out bite-marks just by the back of a kitchen knife. :)&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

There is a huge variety and quality of used bricks sold. For some sellers you can't tell used from new at all. Other sellers mention in detail the condition of used pieces; dull color, small chips and scratches, discoloration - most of these are fully functional elements and are perfectly good for general building and play, but might look a bit noticeable when you mix them with shinier new pieces. Then there are sellers who simply separate new from used, and don't mention the condition of used pieces at all. You could get anything from minor scratches to bite-marks and broken pieces. (Yes, LEGO pieces can break.) &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In general, for used elements the acceptable standard is that they are fully functional but they may have some small chips, scratches, etc. that will happen with normal handling and play. Broken pieces, bite-marks, cracks, etc. must be mentioned, although some sellers don't. Also, the fact that sellers deal with tens of thousands of tiny pieces, it is quite possible that even an honest and good seller will have some subpar elements mixed in their used lots.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would also like to point out that there are buyers who are looking for damaged and discolored pieces. They use them to add variety and interesting detail for such things as post-apocalyptic or battle dioramas. So yes, even heavily used parts sell well, and sellers listing them are not necessarily dishonest or bad - as long as they mention the condition.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personally I only buy used pieces when it is from a seller I dealt with before and I know their standards. Or when a piece is rare and no longer available in new condition, or would be very expensive new. And I would never buy used white pieces as those are notorious for discoloration. Also, I would suggest that you do not buy from smokers. Smoke definitely penetrates plastic and it is pretty much impossible to get rid of.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Again, the best thing to do is to contact the seller ahead of time and ask them what is their standard for used pieces. Keep a list of sellers (you can favorite them and make notes on them) who you have a good experience with, and avoid the ones who send you pieces you are not happy with. You can also ask on the BrickLink forum for people to suggest you sellers who have decent quality control for used pieces.  " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As duty cycle varies, servo motor will move along 7 positions on one side.

The voltage is the same as what you apply to the 9V terminal. Only the pulse width is varied.

There is virtually no load on C1/C2 in this case, so any size of transistor will do the job without risk of overload.

These buttons are conductive rubber pressing on circuit board interdigited contacts. Might need some cleaning there... Disassembly of the RCX is not easy but can be done. You have to remove the screws in the battery compartment, then put slightly to disengage and remove the black IR front. Once this is done, you can pull out the PCB and battery case from the top cover. **Important note**: the PCB is connected to the battery case through metallic blades that can easily bend and no longer make contact. So when you pull PCB+case, you must pull on the PCB itself, not on the battery case.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Once done, you can clean the button area with alcohool and/or swap buttons to hopefully repair the Run button (&quot;View&quot; button is useful, but not mandatory...)."

Also, unless you did quite a bit of sorting up front, you might find that it gets harder and harder to pick out a full kit as time goes on. You could let the kids figure it out, but probably not until they're older, and can look up inventories on bricklink. You could also make it a game: you identify a set candidate, the kids help you build it by finding parts from the lot, and if you succeed in building it you give it to them to keep. If it's a really close build, using bricklink to fill in the missing pieces would make a lot of sense. I once tried to build every single Lego kit my brother and I owned as kids and made a list of all the missing parts. I never got around to it, but a single Bricklink order might be able to clear out that list.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If, instead of sorting out official kits, you sort out the parts by type/colour, you could probably make up some nice little lots of parts that are useful for building. Maybe a bag full of spaceship parts, or castle parts, or car parts. Each of these could become a sort of &quot;kit&quot; on its own, and you could gift them to your children whenever you feel like it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You could also make some little creations, or large creations, and treat them as &quot;kits&quot; as well. It might be possible for you to recreate the Monthly Mini Models that the Lego company gives away, or small Creator sets, or other similar kits. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Alternatively, just spread the whole thing on the floor and tell them &quot;Build!

His display is called “Micro BrickCon”(Note: The conversation between Tom and myself was in a loud room with lots of activity. He is correct about everything except the year.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After building and displaying an 8.5 foot stern paddle wheel ferry boat at BrickCon 2011, I decided it would be easier to build smaller MOCs. I kicked the idea around for a while, and then came up with the concept of making a micro-con. Mariann Ansunuma, former miniland builder at Legoland, and current maker of awesome microscale Lego jewelry, liked the idea and took me under her wing. I built 2 tables, displays and minilanders to display at BrickCon 2012. I was very pleased when Mariann brought along a third table, displays, and minilanders to add to mine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After the initial Micro BrickCon MOC was displayed, Mariann, who travels to various cons with her vendor booth, took her portion of the MOC and introduced it to cons across America. It has since become a theme featured across N. America, Canada, Germany, and Australia. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In 2012, the MOC was just a MOC. However, micro BrickCon was so well received, in 2013 it became and remains it's own theme. In 2012 7 builders contributed one thing or another to make the MOC better. In 2013 and 2014, 22 builders contributed, and this year, 2015, 29 builders joined in. &#xD;&#xA;                                                                 -Major Stackings &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://tomalphin.com/2014/10/microscale.html" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I had hoped that the FAQ or the comments on the spec page would help with some of that but it's obviously not enough. In particular [my answer to someone's question about building an airport][1] is probably my own better writing on the topic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For buildings in LEGO at almost any scale I can recommend the new [&quot;LEGO Architect&quot; book from No Starch Press][2]. It covers micro scale building, though not Micropolis specifically, and has some really good techniques for replicating the details that can make a building look great.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you want opinions on specific topics or ideas from many of the current people building for Micropolis most of the main traffic for discussion is on [Flickr in the Micropolis group][3].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Or you can start with two points.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first point is to look at the scale guide right at the top of the spec:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Scale: 1 brick is 9 feet, 1 plate is 3 feet and one stud is 7.5 feet. These are for reference only. The blocks are smaller than the blocks in a real city. Scale your buildings accordingly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Next measure some real life things to see how that works out. For example a lot of US houses have between 8 and 10 feet between floors so if you've got a house with a flat roof then including protruding foundation and internal spaces it's likely to be about 24ft high, or (24ft divided by 3) 8 plates high. This ends up showing up in a lot of Micropolis modules as a brick (3 plates high) and 1 plate per floor. Expanding on that, a 10 story office building should probably be at least 13 bricks and 1 plate high.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The second point is to be flexible. Since most LEGO parts aren't very adjustable you can start to run into issues with items that are a bit smaller or a bit larger in real life but can be roughly translated into the scale. A great example of that is the standard Micropolis car, which is a single jumper plate with a 1x1 tile on top. However if a stud is 7.5ft on each side, then that jumper plate makes every car a 15ft 1970's land yacht. Most modern cars aren't much longer than 10ft which is actually closer to a single stud than two studs but a 1x1 plate with a 1x1 tile on top doesn't look like much more than a box.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another example is the Micropolis city blocks themselves. Ignoring that in most US cities blocks are actually rectangular, at 32 studs our blocks are only 240ft long compared to the 260ft average of the short side of US city blocks. The long sides average 900ft. We experimented with that a bit when we were working on the original spec and there were several problems but the big ones included having too many different kinds of sub-block modules to make it work easily for a large layout and that while it was more &quot;real&quot; it just didn't look right to just about anyone. So we went back to the original idea for 4 16x16 quarter blocks to make one city block.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A good rule of thumb I've recommended to other people is to have a couple of those jumper and tile cars and put them next to whatever you're building and see how it looks. If the car looks too big then the building should probably be bigger. If the car looks too small, maybe take the building down a bit. You can make a lot of use of the various imagery options on the various mapping systems, both overhead and streetview, to give you an idea of what a car next to a building should look like in real life.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With both of those points in mind then the big takeaway is to try to both approximate scale but in the end be flexible about your implementation to fit the constraints of the medium and in the end build what you like and as long as it's got the roads, sidewalks, technic holes, and base height right it's a Micropolis module whatever anyone else tells you.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://twinlug.com/micropolis-micro-city-standard/#comment-179202265&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://www.nostarch.com/legoarchitect&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://www.flickr.com/groups/1148237@N21/discuss/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It tells you all you can expect, from the good brands to the bad brands. At a minimum, it'll get you rolling of your chair with laughter.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A summary taken from the document:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **Brand List 2015**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; LEGO is a global brand and has been the subject of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; many copies over the years. The US company Tyco were the first  with&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ‘Super Blocks’ in 1984, after LEGO’s brick patent expired in 1983.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Almost every attempt at cloni ng  has  been  inferior,  mainly  due &#xD;&#xA;&gt; to  production  costs  being  lower  resulting  in  inferior  grade &#xD;&#xA;&gt; materials  and  poor  fitting  pieces.  Set  design  has  generally &#xD;&#xA;&gt; varied  from  mediocre  to  rubbish.  However,  the  recently &#xD;&#xA;&gt; invigorated  factories  of  China  have  begun to chu rn out various&#xD;&#xA;&gt; LEGO clones. It’s worth noting that the potential Chinese domestic&#xD;&#xA;&gt; market is far, far larger  than that of Europe and America combined .&#xD;&#xA;&gt; There  are  many  Chinese  companies  making  LEGO  copies,  with  new&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ones  starting  up  at  an  astounding  rate.  Min ifig  copying &#xD;&#xA;&gt; seems  to  be  endemic,  taking  advantage  of  enormous  demand  for &#xD;&#xA;&gt; collectable  box  sets  that  LEGO  cannot  do  due to contractual&#xD;&#xA;&gt; reasons. A brief trawl of the  AliExpress  export website finds a list&#xD;&#xA;&gt; of  50 companies  making plastic  building blocks, with  probably at&#xD;&#xA;&gt; least half doing LEGO clones. Most if not all are based in Chenghai,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the toy capital of  China. Some companies appear to source their&#xD;&#xA;&gt; products from each other and subcontract, so working out exactly who &#xD;&#xA;&gt; makes  which  branded  kits  is  not  always  str aightforward.  Many &#xD;&#xA;&gt; are  of  random  quality  and  there  is  a  lot  of  chaff  and &#xD;&#xA;&gt; little wheat. The following is  an incomplete list of some of the more&#xD;&#xA;&gt; actively promoted  brands. By the time you read  this,  there  will &#xD;&#xA;&gt; probably  be  more.  It  is  interesting  to  note  that  many Far&#xD;&#xA;&gt; East websites list the keyword ‘Enlighten’  above ‘LEGO’.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Net: Some knock-off brands are getting really good and compare in quality with LEGO. Some are absolutely horrific. Some are complete cloners (and will likely disappear soon when the LEGO lawyers swoop in), some have found a niche that LEGO doesn't cover and will likely stay around.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The closest one I could find is (was?) a [thread in the Eurobircks forum][1], where exactly this topic came up. The members there tossed about various ideas, mentioning Akiyuki's brick sorter device (with the factors that made its job easier than the one you propose: uniformly lit background with known color, precision scale, only one piece at a time, a few hundred possible parts), some proof-of-concept code was written to test the capabilities of the OpenCV library, but then the interest faded and the topic was abandoned.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are several problems in this proposition that are highly difficult (if not straight impossible) to overcome:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Lighting conditions&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The optical recognition process depends heavily on sensing the difference in the brightness and color of adjacent points. If the lighting conditions are allowed to vary (that is, not requiring the use of a [light box][2]) then the differences between each color and the background can't be set in the program. One could still overcome this limitation if the image contains a piece of a known color, but then the calibration must be done for each image.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Overlap&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If pieces are allowed to overlap then they can be easily mistaken for similar pieces, or if sufficient parts are overlapping then clear identification can become impossible. If you can only see a part of a Technic axle, you can't tell how much of it is under the 6x6 plate, so the lenght of the axle can't be determined. The same analogy works for many kinds of pieces (bricks, tiles, plates).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. One point of view&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If this system can work using only a single image (taken with an ordinary camera) then some pieces can become too similar to tell apart. For example, from straight up, a 2x2 brick and a 2x2 plate look exactly the same, just like a 2x2 brick and a 3x2 brick if both are standing on their end. Shadow analysis could help with this matter, but only if there are clear shadows cast from a known point in space related to the camera and the surface on which the pieces are laid out. So we have essentially arrived at the &quot;very precisely controlled and known lighting and photographing setup&quot;, called light box, but also added a ton of processing logic and advanced mathematics. Not to mention the problem of dealing with shadows cast on other pieces, which can render shadow analysis moot or even obscure some pieces so they won't be recognized correctly or in extreme scenarios maybe not even seen.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. Differences only visible from one side&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This might not concern you, but in some cases pieces only differ from each other in a very small detail that can only be seen from a certain point of view. For example, if a minifig head was laying on its side, it is optically impossible to tell if it has a hole on the top or not.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[1]: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=75840&#xD;&#xA;[2]: https://aswirly.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/more-light1.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Here at The LEGO Group we hold ourselves to an extremely high quality standard. The fact that your elements have broken is something that we take really seriously.&#xD;&#xA;We would be more than happy to send you replacements for these pieces right away. If you would be so kind as to provide us with a little bit more information on the parts, we will be sure to help you out.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After a little research, I let them know the parts were from either Stormer (7169) or Breez (7165) depending on the color, that the other limb ends from those sets were separating in a similar fashion, and asked whether they had noticed similar faults with these types of pieces historically (morbid curiosity). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From LEGO: &#xD;&#xA;&gt;Thanks for getting back to use with the sets that you have broken pieces from. I am so sorry to hear that these parts have broken. That is unfortunate. I was able to pull up the image of the parts that you sent with your original email and was able to see the exact pieces that you need. Sadly, these parts have been discontinued and we are unable to replace those parts for you. I do apologize for this. I wish there was some kind of replacement to send, but sadly, there is nothing as a substitute for those parts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;Again, we wish we could help you restore your LEGO set back to new but unfortunately the pieces you need are no longer available through us. There is hope though, Peeron.com is website run by a group of LEGO fans that contains information on LEGO sets, replacement parts, building instructions and more. It’s not affiliated with the LEGO Group but we know from other fans that it has a good collection of older building instructions to download, discontinued pieces to purchase, and great set information.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ah well, thanks anyway!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/vcpl6.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

For [the Batman set's (PDF)][8], we see there's only a single task per page, and they're often broken down into smaller steps or have large, clear arrows indicating placement. In [the Star Wars set's (PDF)][9], we see that each page has *two* numbered tasks and placement is less likely to be indicated by arrow for simple tasks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These differences in instructions are because of the expected abilities and attention spans of the intended audiences.

Cars are very, very common for these types of sets&#xD;&#xA; - The set is very open, so it's easy to access from many angles for an age range still developing motor control&#xD;&#xA; - We see a lot of bright colors, including a blue Batman instead of a black or earth (dark) blue [Batman suits we normally see][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![LEGO Juniors Batmobile][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, we can contrast this with a slightly higher age range set, [75099 Rey's Speeder][5].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![LEGO Rey's Speeder][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; The Batman set was ages 4-7, and this Star Wars set is ages 7-12:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The Star Wars has more pieces, 193 vs. Batman's 150&#xD;&#xA; - The set itself is smaller in size, because it makes use of smaller pieces (which require more fine motor control to properly place)&#xD;&#xA; - The set does not come with a play area, although that's not always the case&#xD;&#xA; - The speeder itself features the sideways building techniques, where the tops of the elements don't point up&#xD;&#xA; - The color scheme is more muted, featuring dark reds and and more grays, although this is also common with licensed sets&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You won't necessarily be able to apply these attributes universally across sets, especially since the age-ranges sometimes overlap, as seen in [60043 Prisoner Transport][7], which has an age range of 5-12.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;None of this is to say that younger kids can't assemble and enjoy older-ranged sets, but the ranges given are typically where the most enjoyment and least frustration will be found. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Something else you won't see on the box is the difference in styling of the building instructions. For [the Batman set's (PDF)][8], we see there's only a single task per page, and they're often broken down into smaller steps or have large, clear arrows indicating placement. In [the Star Wars set's (PDF)][9], we see that each page has *two* numbered tasks and placement is less likely to be indicated by arrow for simple tasks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These differences in instructions are because of the expected abilities and attention spans of the intended audiences. Again, this is to reduce frustration and enable the children to be more successful building the sets without relying too heavily on the adults to help.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The LEGO company does a lot of research into what types of play are better for children at different ages, because it gives them a better product. You can seem some of the information they provide parents about types of play on their [Parents website][10], and more involvement with child education from their [LEGO Education company][11].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This answers comes from my experience as a consumer of LEGO product for different age ranges and as a previous customer service representative. I was asked questions about the recommended age ranges on a weekly basis, and the answer I provided to customers was similar to the answer here. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://brickset.com/sets/10672-1/Batman-Defend-the-Batcave&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/QM9ed.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://brickset.com/minifigs?query=batman&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/vw070.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://brickset.com/sets/75099-1/Rey-s-Speeder&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/sz43h.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: http://brickset.com/sets/containing-minifig-sh111&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: http://cache.lego.com/bigdownloads/buildinginstructions/6072722.pdf&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: http://cache.lego.com/bigdownloads/buildinginstructions/6138827.pdf&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: http://parents.lego.com/en-us/childdevelopment&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: http://education.lego.com/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Lego used to label set with &quot;N..99&quot; age limits but these days that sort of humour is less appreciated. It's still true, though.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I suggest focus more on what he's interested in, and what you think he'd enjoy building. Within the [Lego Star Wars][1] range there are quite a lot of options. If he's mostly into collecting toys I suggest starting small, but if he's into spending hours building stuff there are options that go right up to metre-long display models.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think your main risk is social or financial. Even if you misjudge his interest, if he's into Star Wars he's likely to build it, display it, and just not ever get round to buying more. But especially the first time, don't spend more than you're willing to have him go &quot;what? No&quot; at, and maybe be careful about where he opens the gift. If he has judgey relatives who might say &quot;hahaha kids toys grow up&quot; or similar, try to avoid.

This started in 1929 and by 1931 he had to let his only remaining employee go. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In 1932 he was commissioned by a Jens W. Olesen to make toys. Until then, his business primarily made wooden products that were ready-for-market, such as ironing boards, step ladders and Christmas tree stands. However, once his toy business started it really boomed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Around this time, the yo-yo was a very popular toy, and one of Ole’s most successful products. However, once the fad of yo-yos died down, the warehouse stores were converted to a new purpose: wheels on the infamous wooden duck toy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It wasn’t until Ole started making toys his primary business and decided he needed a new name for the company. In order to come up with a new name, he held a contest. The winner of naming contest would win a bottle of Ole’s own homemade wine!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, Ole ended up the winner, and got to keep his wine. He decided on the name LEGO, which a portmanteau of the Danish words for “Play Well”, LEG and GODT. This is when LEGO was born, and Ole’s legacy as a toymaker truly started. To this day, the ideal of playing well guides the company.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Reports vary, but the founding of The LEGO Group was said to have happened [either in 1932][1] or [in 1934][2]. I’m inclined to believe that the company name was actually created in 1934, as the later resource shows.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Besides yo-yos and ducks, LEGO made a variety of wooden toys. Their line-up included cars, trains, boats and planes. Like now, LEGO was known for their quality products. Today, LEGO only uses the highest quality ABS plastic pellets for their products, and injections molds accurate to 2 micrometres! Then, LEGO used beechwood that was air-dried, kiln-dried, polished and given three coats of paint. Once, one of his workers, [his son Godtfred even][3], only gave a line of toys two coats of paint. Ole made him go back to the factory and give them all their third and final coat. Only the best is good enough.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is more history involving their wooden toy line, and how they fared during World War II. However, the next most notable event was in 1942 when a fire destroyed the entire factory in Billund and its contents. Nothing survived, and the factory had to be rebuilt.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then, in 1946 Ole invested in a plastic moulding machine, and the next year started producing some plastic toy products. It was then that they started producing “Automatic Binding Bricks” or LEGO Bricks, based on the Kiddicraft product, “Kiddicraft Self-Locking Building Bricks”.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Plastic toys, however, were not nearly as popular as the wooden toys they were already making. It took a few years until a more popular product was created, the “Town Plan” building system, in 1955. Based on the limitations of that product, new bricks were designed in 1958. This is when the iconic tubes on the undersides of LEGO bricks were first introduced.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Later that year, Ole died and his son, Godtfred took over the company. Previously, he’d resigned from LEGO, but had come back. He continued to produce both wooden and plastic toys until *another* warehouse fire in 1960 that destroyed most of their wooden inventory—but not their plastic inventory!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Godfredt decided then that the plastic toy line was successful enough to continue alone, and wooden toy production was discontinued. This was not a popular decision, and other family members that were big parts of the company left, just as Godfredt had left a few years ago when he disagreed with his father.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Nevertheless, Godfredt continued in the production of LEGO bricks and building systems.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These days, The LEGO Group is one of the top 3 largest toy manufacturers in the world, and run by Ole’s grandson, Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen. They're still headquarted in Billund, Denmark, but have facilities around the world. They’ve set themselves apart with their “play well” ideals. Their system of play of proven wildly successful, although the company has faltered at times. They’ve learned through trial and error that they are best at making quality toys that have value in helping children play better. Attempts to make clothing and jewelry (Clickts) failed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While “Play Well” may seem to just mean good to play with, it actually represents more than that: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - LEGO toys have strict guidelines regarding weapons. They must be clearly fictional or fantastical, or accurate historical replicas. Modern weaponry are a no-no. Furthermore, the purpose of LEGO toys with weapons is not the weapons and fighting themselves, so they avoid making weapons the central part of any set. &#xD;&#xA; - Like the toy guidelines, there are similarly strict guidelines regarding violence in LEGO shows and video games. Characters are not to be seen being hit too many times in succession, and they don’t “die”, simply fall apart. As with the previous bullet, these guidelines are meant to remove the emphasis on violence, and instead focus children on play.&#xD;&#xA; - Similar to the points above, LEGO won’t make toy lines that contain content that isn’t considered appropriate for young children. For this reason, they avoid certain licensed themes that other toy companies don’t, and have turned down some LEGO Cuusoo/IDEAS because they don’t fit the appropriateness level LEGO requires.&#xD;&#xA; - LEGO products are made from high-quality products, using high-quality manufacturing tools and equipment. They even use MRIs in their testing process to make sure new molds don’t have internal weaknesses or defects. While some “competitors” products tend to fall apart before you’ve even finished making them, you’ll find that LEGO bricks almost always snap together and stay together. (If they don’t, their friendly customer service will likely send a replacement brick for free)&#xD;&#xA; - LEGO tries to increase make their business more friendly for the environment. They’ve done this by decreasing the box sizes, using paper sourced from companies using sustainable practices, implementing better recycling policies in their facilities, and expecting their suppliers to follow certain standards.&#xD;&#xA; - LEGO focuses on making products that are beneficial for children. Besides their standard playsets, they also have a LEGO Education line that has grown so big it is now its own company. By understanding how children develop, and how play is involved in development, they can design better sets for children.&#xD;&#xA; - LEGO wants their products to be suitable for all children. Traditionally, many of their products were seen as “boys toys”, and boys were their primary demographic. Previously, LEGO had attempt to create various lines, such as Scala, to appeal to female children, but they were largely unsuccessful. Recently, they’ve developed the LEGO Friends line, after doing years of research, and it’s been incredibly successful. What started off as a simple theme with limited products has now spun off into multiple releases and the new Elves series. What once filled up a couple shelves in a store may now take up half an aisle!&#xD;&#xA; - Along with making sure they have products that appeal to all genders (despite toys being gender-neutral anyway!), they have products to appeal to children of all ages. Their DUPLO line, for instance, is made especially for toddler-aged builders. These bricks are actually compatible with normal LEGO bricks, and come in at 8 times the size. Each dimension of a DUPLO brick is double that of a LEGO brick, which is where the name comes from. This bricks are extra sturdy and safe for children to by rough with, and don’t contain any elements that may be of safety concern. As for the older builders, many of the sets appeal to adults as much as children. The yearly winter and modular house sets, the train sets, and the very large sets are incredibly popular among adult builders.&#xD;&#xA;	&#xD;&#xA;There is so much more to talk about for this company, and there are many books and websites that do just that. What I’ve written for you here has been sourced from The LEGO Group’s websites, but also comes from my time as a customer service representative for them. Much of what I learned about the history of the company actually came from training documentary videos, and has only recently been published in as much detail on their website.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What I’ve provided here should answer your questions about who created the company and why: Ole Kirk Kristiansen created the company so that children could play well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.lego.com/en-us/aboutus/lego-group/the_lego_history&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.lego.com/en-us/legohistory/the-beginning-of-the-lego-group&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.lego.com/en-us/legohistory/godtfred-kirk-christiansen" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The new parts are sometimes considered new, and the old parts retired, but often the new parts are considered equivalent to the old parts. Lego then uses these new parts arbitrarily, wherever is most convenient. This leads, sometimes, to a set containing a mix of old and new parts, depending on the sources of those parts during manufacturing. So if, say, they replaced a certain piece with another, nearly identical piece, any set you buy during the transition period could conceivably contain both, if the parts bags in your set came from two different parts of the factory.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If Lego updated the Solo and Kenobi head designs, for use all across the Star Wars line, those head designs may show up in new copies of older sets. Similarly, if there is still stock left of older designs, those designs may also appear in newer sets. When Lego considers the parts to be equivalent, there is no guarantee of which you'll get during the transition." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I've done this a number of times as I use an alternate firmware called LeJOS (runs Java).  There shouldn't be anything that breaks from this (not any further than what you've got).  _Make sure_ your batteries are not going to die on you while you re-flash the firmware.  Just give them a charge.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Do a hard reset on the brick (should be a paperclip in one of the bottom corners held down for a few seconds).  This shouldn't be required, as your NXT is already in this state, but just in case.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Connect your brick to a computer, it must have the Mindstorms NXT software installed on the computer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3.

Put the pieces in a ziploc bag and mark the bag with the set name or set number (or print a picture of the set on adhesive paper and attach it - go to &lt;http://www.brickset.com&gt; for good pictures of new and old sets).

Make sure the computer has Bluetooth turned on.  On my Win8 computer, there is a Bluetooth icon on the task bar when it is active.  If you don't see that icon, or don't know if Bluetooth is on, go to: PC Settings &gt; PC and Devices &gt; Bluetooth (also under: Network &gt; Airplane Mode.

Both &quot;Visibility&quot; and &quot;Bluetooth&quot; need to be checked on boxes on the right (ignore the icons on the left, they look like radio buttons but are not).  Once those are checked, the EV3 will be visible to the computer's Bluetooth.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Once you've confirmed that visibility is on, and Bluetooth is working, there are a few different ways you can pair your computer with the EV3.   &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. from the computer's Bluetooth software&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. under the Control Panel &gt; Devices and Printers, you can &quot;Add a Device&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. from the Bluetooth Icon on the task bar (&quot;Add a Bluetooth Device&quot;).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;No method is better, whichever you find first.  Once it starts scanning, it should display the EV3 within a minute or two.   When the EV3 when is found, choose &quot;pair&quot; or &quot;connect&quot;.   Now, switch to the EV3 which should display: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &quot;Connect? (your computer's name)&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Move the cursor to the check box (default is on the &quot;x&quot; as in &quot;No&quot;), then you will be shown the passkey: 1234.  No need to change that.  Click that check box too.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, switch back to your computer, where you'll be prompted for the passkey.  Enter 1234, and it should complete the pairing.   If you are interrupted (I believe you have 2 minutes) it'll lose the connection and you'll need to start again.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After all of that, you should be able to start the Mindstorm software, open a project, and in the lower right, choose &quot;Available Bricks&quot; tab, and see your EV3 (if not, click the &quot;refresh&quot; button in that window and it should show up).  Once there is a check box for your EV3, click that box to finally connect. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The hard part is the pairing.  Once paired, it is simple to connect in the future.  I just make sure the EV3 is on before the Mindstorm software is started.  If the EV3 is turned off, I have to click that &quot;refresh&quot; button telling the computer to find it again, then check the box to connect.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Final note: on the Bluetooth menu of the EV3 (where you check Visibility), there is another item &quot;Connections.&quot;  This isn't merely a title.  Click on this, and it will display all computers that it has paired with in the past.  You can click on these and have them removed.  I've had to do this occasionally to re-establish connection with a computer.  This is how you would remove old connections too, if you wanted to clean things up, or just want to make sure there aren't any left-overs from earlier connection attempts."

Additionally, the complexity of the set (simple versus complex building techniques, e.g. SNOT (Studs Not On Top) techniques are considered complex) might make a similar sized set more difficult. The complexity is often determined through the Age range specified on the box. So there is no exact answer here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But as an indication, the set [10236 LEGO Ewok Village](http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Ewok-Village-10236) contains 1990 pieces and is rated 12+. That age range makes it a moderately difficult build (There is 14+ and 16+ for more complex builds).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;First you need to take time to part out the set, put like elements together (LEGO suggests sorting by color, you could also sort by type of piece which will make your job slightly easier - put 1x1 bricks together, leaf pieces together, 1x4 plates together etc.). Opening the box gently by slicing a sharp knife through the seals on the flap (so you don't damage the box), emptying and opening the bags and dumping it all on your work surface takes 1 minute. To pick a piece and sort it, I am assuming takes you 1 second - since there are 1990 pieces this means the sorting activity alone will take you a good 30 minutes (33 to be precise).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now it is time for the build. Assuming that you can put a piece into your build in about 10 seconds (includes find time, reviewing the instructions, sometimes flipping the page, and averages out for easier and more difficult building steps), with 1990 pieces this means you will spend 332 minutes on your build, or roughly 3hrs and 30 minutes, excluding any breaks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Putting it all together, assuming my estimates and assumptions are correct, your total build time should be between 4 and 4.5 hours.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Good luck and have fun, because that Ewok Village set looks pretty awesome!"

Additionally, the complexity of the set (simple versus complex building techniques, e.g. SNOT (Studs Not On Top) techniques are considered complex) might make a similar sized set more difficult. The complexity is often determined through the Age range specified on the box. So there is no exact answer here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But as an indication, the set [10236 LEGO Ewok Village](http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Ewok-Village-10236) contains 1990 pieces and is rated 12+. That age range makes it a moderately difficult build (There is 14+ and 16+ for more complex builds).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;First you need to take time to part out the set, put like elements together (LEGO suggests sorting by color, you could also sort by type of piece which will make your job slightly easier - put 1x1 bricks together, leaf pieces together, 1x4 plates together etc.). Opening the box gently by slicing a sharp knife through the seals on the flap (so you don't damage the box), emptying and opening the bags and dumping it all on your work surface takes 1 minute. To pick a piece and sort it, I am assuming takes you 1 second - since there are 1990 pieces this means the sorting activity alone will take you a good 30 minutes (33 to be precise).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now it is time for the build. Assuming that you can put a piece into your build in about 10 seconds (includes find time, reviewing the instructions, sometimes flipping the page, and averages out for easier and more difficult building steps), with 1990 pieces this means you will spend 332 minutes on your build, or roughly 5hrs and 30 minutes, excluding any breaks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Putting it all together, assuming my estimates and assumptions are correct, your total build time should be between 6 and 6.5 hours.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Good luck and have fun, because that Ewok Village set looks pretty awesome!"

Ultimately we found the problem was because the robot was moving a motor though there was no instruction to move the motor in the program at that time.  During a turn, the medium motor pushed an arm down on the table, increasing the friction during the turn.  Because the arm was already resting on the table, this change in pressure wasn't visible, but the result was significant, as the angle of the turn would often vary by 5-10 degrees.  This movement of the arm was noticed only when the program was accidentally run while someone was holding it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After deleting the program from the robot, changing the program then reloading it, the motor was not moving the arm and the turn was consistent again."

The USB tower works reasonably well using native Linux enumerations and comms. It's a very simple half-duplex medium speed protocol with simple error checking and (AFAIR) no flow control."

[I've recreated the movie version as best I could in LDD and LDraw][1], and have compared it side-by-side with the Sea Cow set version. In the first picture, the Sea Cow set version is on the left, and the movie version is on the right, and vice-versa in the second picture. The notable differences are as follows:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![LEGO Movie double decker couch version differences 1-4][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. As you pointed out, some of the seats in the Sea Cow version have studs on them so that minifigures will stay on better. Notice also that the Sea Cow version has one layer of blue plates, whereas the movie version has two layers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. The armrests are different. The parts that the two different armrests share have different color selections, and the Sea Cow counterparts are thicker and higher up than the movie counter parts. Also, the Sea Cow armrests contain the supports for the ladders, whereas the supports for the ladders are located elsewhere on the movie version.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. The ladders in the Sea Cow version are higher up than the movie version.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. There are round 1x1 studs placed on the bottom of the upper level of the movie version, but none are found on that of the Sea Cow version.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![LEGO Movie double decker couch version differences 1-4][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5. The back rests have more layers of plates in the Sea Cow set version than in the movie version.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;6. The 1x2 plates with bars in the Sea Cow set version are used to connect the back rests with their corresponding seats, whereas in the movie version, they are not connected to anything. Because of this, the seats on the upper level are simply suspended in midair, and the back rests of the lower level are just sitting there with nothing attaching them to the seats. This is why replicating the movie version 100% and keeping it together is physically impossible. Why the makers of The LEGO Movie didn't simply attach plates with clips to those plates with bars they have there is beyond me.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;7. In the Sea Cow set version, the two levels are connected by technic tubes which connect to 2x2 plates with holes. The two levels of the movie version are connected by long cylindrical 1x1 columns.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.mediafire.com/download/3hm2fjd2fobef90/Double-Decker_Couch.zip&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/GC4FW.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Cw8tY.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

You can make your minifig wear the helmet or the hair piece, but not both at the same time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * The pilot fits inside the model, as can be seen on picture #31 of the first booklet. However, there is not enough space in there for him to carry his gun also. This is more often the case with Lego models - cockpits and cabins are not always big enough to contain both the minifigure _and_ their accessories.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * The droid does go in the model. In picture #7 of the second booklet, you put a round 2x2 tile in it, with one stud on top. It's a bit difficult to judge from the instructions, but it looks like the droid should snap on there. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In general, most things in Lego should snap into place easily. If it doesn't, _don't_ force it - there is probably a Lego enthusiast near you who can help.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/The-Phantom-75048" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The figure would have no sex, race or role – these would be determined by the child’s imagination and play.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It then explains when and why they added colour for their licensed figures&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; With licensed products such as LEGO® Star Wars™ and LEGO® Harry Potter™ the figure began appearing in specific roles, and with LEGO Basketball in 2003 it took on authentic skin colours. In 2004 the LEGO minifigure assumed an even wider range of skin colours when it was decided that the figures in licensed products should resemble the original characters as closely as possible. One result was that the figures in LEGO Harry Potter™ changed from yellow to a more authentic skin colour.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first ones I remember seeing were indeed some of the NBA League characters as part of the Basketball theme in 2003, followed by the Star Wars products and then the Harry Potter sets in 2004.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lando Calrissian was one of the first to appear in the correct skin tone, amongst yellow Han and Leia:&#xD;&#xA;![Bespin Cloud City Box Art][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Followed later by pink characters for the rest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of other colours, LEGO had already created various monster and alien figures with different coloured heads ranging from blues and greys through to transparent and even [transparent neon orange][3].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]:http://cache.lego.com/r/aboutus/-/media/About%20Us/Media%20Assets%20Library/Company%20Profiles/ts.20120420T123711.Company_profile_uk.pdf&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/YuF51.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=3626bpx76#T=C&amp;C=18" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I see this line:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    #include &quot;ev3sources/lms2012/c_com/source/c_com.h&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;and have downloaded the entire `lms2012` directory. Importing that into visual studio is proving more difficult than it would seem. I can add that single dependency by following the directions posted [here][2] by adding just the `c_com` header and executable, but then I'm missing the dependencies upon which it rests. How can I add this entire directory as a dependency?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[Update]**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks David for your recommendation to add just the dependencies I need.

Among many others, I discovered that among my collection is Set #190, Building Set with People - Farm.  I would guess this set was given to me when I was between ages four and seven, and I am now 40+.  I remembered the tractor and plow, and some sort of house with a fence around it, and the parts I have confirm the match.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, my instruction booklet is long lost for this set, and the scans I have found on [ToysPeriod][1] and [Peeron][2] seem to have only instructions for the vehicles and animals, but not for the greenhouse, house, and barn shown in the photos.  In fact, based on the creases and location of page breaks, these two sites appear to have the same scan.  I've found other sites with even fewer pages of these instructions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I more or less figured out the fence and greenhouse from the photos, although I ran out of clear bricks for the greenhouse so probably I made a mistake somewhere.  I may or may not have similar luck with the rest- I plan to try later.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I believe that sometimes Lego did this intentionally- put photos on the box just to give an idea or starting point.  Does anyone know if this is what happened in this case?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Are there other places I can look for instructions, or at least detailed photos from other angles to help me build this?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;_____&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;Note: I am new to this SE, and I see the [tag:instructions] description suggests this may be off-topic.

Text="A wave of nostalgia has struck me this holiday weekend, and I have been doing some research on the kits in the big plastic tub in my closet.  Among many others, I discovered that among my collection is Set #190, Building Set with People - Farm.  I would guess this set was given to me when I was between ages four and seven, and I am now 40+.  I remembered the tractor and plow, and some sort of house with a fence around it, and the parts I have confirm the match.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, my instruction booklet is long lost for this set, and the scans I have found on [ToysPeriod][1] and [Peeron][2] seem to have only instructions for the vehicles and animals, but not for the greenhouse, house, and barn shown in the photos.  In fact, based on the creases and location of page breaks, these two sites appear to have the same scan.  I've found other sites with even fewer pages of these instructions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I more or less figured out the fence and greenhouse from the photos, although I ran out of clear bricks for the greenhouse so probably I made a mistake somewhere.  I may or may not have similar luck with the rest- I plan to try later.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I believe that sometimes Lego did this intentionally- put photos on the box just to give an idea or starting point.  Does anyone know if this is what happened in this case?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Are there other places I can look for instructions, or at least detailed photos from other angles to help me build this?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.toysperiod.com/lego-set-reference/building-set-with-people/farm/lego-190-lego-building-set-with-people-farm/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.peeron.com/scans/190-1/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Also they are fixed on the same channel, but the train still doesn't move. What should I do? It was a Christmas Present for my son of 6 years old and now he is a bit disappointed. Help please!

Take the battery pack out of the engine of the train and press the green button. Does the green LED light turn on? If no, there is likely a problem with either the batteries or the battery housing itself. You might want to take all the batteries out and reinsert them, or rotate the batteries a bit when they are inserted (I have found that this sometimes improves the contact they make).&#xD;&#xA; 2. Put the battery pack back in the train, and connect the train motor directly to the battery pack (i.e. do NOT connect the IR receiver in between the motor and the battery pack). If you press the green button on the battery pack, do the wheels of the train spin? If yes, do they spin fast? If the battery pack refuses to turn the wheels, there might be a problem with the train motor (but there could also be a problem with the charge level of the batteries).&#xD;&#xA; 3. Assuming both the battery pack and the motor work fine, now connect the IR receiver between the battery pack and the motor. Look closely onto which of the two connectors you put the motor connector (red or blue).&#xD;&#xA; 4. Check the remote and make sure it has batteries inserted and that the batteries are inserted in the correct direction. Press one of the red buttons on the remote. This should make the green LED light in the middle of the remote light up. If it doesn't, you have either not inserted the batteries right, or they have come loose, or the remote control is broken.&#xD;&#xA; 5. Using the remote, turn the control knob of either the red or blue control section (depending on where in step 3 you connected the wires) and see if this makes the motor turn. If it does not, try turning the knob further. Also, make sure that the receiver is in direct line of sight from the remote control (you should be able to see the black curved top of the IR receiver from where you are standing with your remote control)&#xD;&#xA; 6. If the wheels still do not turn, check the channel setting of the remote and the IR receiver - they should be the same. Try again to turn the knob once you set them both to the same channel. If that still does not work, try different channel settings (e.g. both on Channel 2, both on Channel 3 etc) - you might have some interference from another IR source.&#xD;&#xA; 7. If after all this the wheels on the train still do not turn, you have a defective motor (it might have burned through because of too much resistance etc.). Try calling LEGO Customer Service (in the US, their number is 1 (800) 835-4386) or [visit them online][1]. If you have a LEGO store nearby, you could ask them to assist as well, though all they can do is do an exchange which they may or may not do depending on the state of the unpacked set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Good luck and let us know what happens ...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://wwwsecure.us.lego.com/en-us/service?domainredir=service.lego.com" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

You might find other Bricklink stores in different parts of the world that have stock as well. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another option is looking for the [10622 Duplo Large Creative Box](http://brickset.com/sets/10622-1/Large-Creative-Box), which was on Black Friday sale at Walmart recently. It can still be found on [Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Duplo-Large-Creative-pieces/dp/B018DM4FDO) and [eBay](http://www.ebay.com/itm/LEGO-DUPLO-Large-Creative-Box-10622-BRAND-NEW-IN-SEALED-BOX-/111864725496), but contains many &quot;other&quot; kinds of bricks apart from your basic 2x4 and 2x2 bricks. Also, at ~$0.30 per brick (MSRP) this might not be your cheapest option - the Bricklink store I linked earlier has 2x2 bricks for as little as $0.12. Also check out last year's [10557 Duplo Creative Tower](http://www.amazon.com/LEGO-DUPLO-Giant-Pieces-10557/dp/B00BMKRG0E) - it has more pieces (200 vs 193) and sells for less on Amazon currently.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can also find bulk lots of Duplo bricks on eBay, such as [this one](http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nice-lot-of-48-DUPLO-blocks-super-deal-/252231168728). Price with shipping is still ~$0.30 per brick.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT: Two more options:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1) If you're in North America, go look up a second-hand baby/children's clothing store like Once Upon A Child. I went there today and found several sealed bags and boxes with Duplo blocks. Common price was ~$6 for a bag. It was difficult to see what was in each item, but this might get you something.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2) You can look at Mega Blocks - their large bricks don't interconnect with LEGO or Duplo, but depending on what you are trying to do that might not matter. You could always stack them sideways, or modify them, or even (yikes!) glue LEGO bricks on top to make a connection.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=jod27&amp;itemID=85882075" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

However, a small amount of these measures will be lost due to friction and decreased efficiency (by transferring drive through gears). Regardless, comparing these measures to the normal output of the M Motor — running torque of ~3.63 N.cm &amp; rotational speed of ~275 RPM; and the L Motor: running torque of ~6.4 N.cm &amp; rotational speed of ~272 RPM — and we have a clear winner, as far as running torque performance goes.

I'm revealing their answers here.  It is unfair to those teams, since their research does represent a significant advantage over other teams.  That said, none of their solutions were complete.  Each team had some part of the answer, but none had everything.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One team, not one of the 5, had given up on using the gyro in the belief that it could not be place close to the rechargeable battery pack because the gyro sensor would get too hot.  I hadn't heard that before and have no idea if it has any basis in fact.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Almost all of the teams used the &quot;Simple Gyro Fix&quot; mentioned in the original question.  They varied in whether they paused before, during, and after each step.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Two teams had tests to avoid leaving home base with a &quot;drifting&quot; gyro.  One waited 10 seconds to see if the drift was still less than 2 degrees.  Another ran the robot through a routine that cause the robot to twitch if it was drifting.  No twitching meant it was ok.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A different set of two teams added a double reset of the gyro.  This reset being the reset of the Gyro angle to 0.  One of those teams said they had followed the advice of some site on the internet.  That team also added a 1 second wait before and after the double reset.  The first to &quot;still&quot; the robot; the second to ensure the zeroing of the gyro angle had been taken.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One team had a set of MyBlocks that turned based on either the rotation sensors or the gyro sensor.  It allowed them to retreat from using the gyro sensor if they needed to.  They had gone to the trouble because of the bad reputation of the Gyro sensor.  In front of the judges, they used the gyro.  It worked.  Clearly, they had worried a lot and then figured out how to use it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The teams differed in how they turned.  Some pivoted, some spinned, and some accepted any motion.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One team used the gyro to go straight, sort of a proportional line follower with a gyro sensor instead of light sensor.  They did not use it for turns.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;None of the teams did the work of recording the drifting episodes to a file.  None of the teams displayed a warning as a sound, a blinking light, or a message on the LCD panel before the robot left the home base.&#xD;&#xA;None of the teams switch automagically to the rotation sensors when the gyro is known to be drifting.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;None of the teams used #2 of the accepted answer."

We built a few sets together and he mostly builds stuff from his own imagination. He likes to build new sets with us and to follow the schematics, even if we don't have all the parts (we try to make changes as needed).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The problem is - we have gathered a big Lego box of parts from about 7-8 sets and looking for a specific block is becoming more and more difficult. When we build sets together it's my job to find the parts and his job to follow the schematic. Needless to say, it may take me 5 minutes to track down a specific part and it takes us too long to build the set. Once a set is built he plays with it for a while (a couple of hours or days) and then comes back apart.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For now we try to keep the parts sorted by color, but for some colors (grey or blue) we have too many parts and we need to empty the bag on the floor to look for parts (and this gets messy).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I wanted to ask for advice on the following topics:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. What's the best way to sort lego blocks so that they are easier to find and in a way that they don't take too much space (e.g. I wouldn't want to have to sort them by shape - it's too many of them!)&#xD;&#xA;2. For some sets we don't know if we have all the parts (obviously because we don't have those exact sets). Is there an &quot;app&quot; that I can tell which sets we have and that can generate a part list from those so that I can look to see if I have the needed part? Or, better yet, tell the app what I want to build and it should tell me what parts I have (without keeping track of color - only shape) and what I'm missing? I'm thinking it's not an impossible app and something like this may exist, but I haven't found it yet.&#xD;&#xA;3. Now comes the &quot;sci-fi&quot; part. Can I find a phone app that can use the camera to &quot;scan&quot; a bunch of parts thrown on the floor and do image recognition of the part that I need in order to highlight it? Image recognition can do shape recognition, so, again, it should be possible to implement - I just haven't found any.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Any tips on handling Lego for better management is welcome.

We built a few sets together and he mostly builds stuff from his own imagination. He likes to build new sets with us and to follow the schematics, even if we don't have all the parts (we try to make changes as needed).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The problem is - we have gathered a big Lego box of parts from about 7-8 sets and looking for a specific block is becoming more and more difficult. When we build sets together it's my job to find the parts and his job to follow the schematic. Needless to say, it may take me 5 minutes to track down a specific part and it takes us too long to build the set. Once a set is built he plays with it for a while (a couple of hours or days) and then comes back apart.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For now we try to keep the parts sorted by color, but for some colors (grey or blue) we have too many parts and we need to empty the bag on the floor to look for parts (and this gets messy).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I wanted to ask for advice on the following topics:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. What's the best way to sort lego blocks so that they are easier to find and in a way that they don't take too much space (e.g. I wouldn't want to have to sort them by shape - it's too many of them!)&#xD;&#xA;2. For some sets we don't know if we have all the parts (obviously because we don't have those exact sets). Is there an &quot;app&quot; that I can tell which sets we have and that can generate a part list from those so that I can look to see if I have the needed part? Or, better yet, tell the app what I want to build and it should tell me what parts I have (without keeping track of color - only shape) and what I'm missing? I'm thinking it's not an impossible app and something like this may exist, but I haven't found it yet.&#xD;&#xA;3. Now comes the &quot;sci-fi&quot; part. Can I find a phone app that can use the camera to &quot;scan&quot; a bunch of parts thrown on the floor and do image recognition of the part that I need in order to highlight it? Image recognition can do shape recognition, so, again, it should be possible to implement - I just haven't found any.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Any tips on handling Lego for better management is welcome.&#xD;&#xA;Thanks!"

If you live close to a Lego store they can provide you with one. Many include the list on the box. I'm not sure if the downloadable schematics for consumers has a parts list. Once you have found the pieces once, bag them separately from your freestyle Legos. Additional Legos for freestyle are available online or at the store. If you are missing pieces from a set, Lego will supply them at no charge from a store or the cost of shipping by mail.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personally, we like the 3-in-1 sets. It provides a little more variability if you're only going to purchase a few over time. As for an app, it seems like an awfully long process compared to just sorting it right the first time.

You can see inventories for each set and you can see if you have the pieces to build other sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For your third question, I don't know of any app that finds pieces based on computer vision. I sort by part and colour so I wouldn't need such an app, myself.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For a small collection sorting by colour is probably easiest. If there is a lot of one colour you can break it down by part type. If you primarily build sets and not your own creations, you could consider storing each set in a ziplock bag, that way all its parts are together. Of course, if you then pick parts out of those bags to build something custom, putting them back is annoying. You could have one bag for &quot;unsorted&quot; parts, and when you want to build any given set you grab that bag and the set's bag, and all the parts would be there. You do need to put them away in the right bags afterwards though." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It could stay running and keep taking infinite steps. So only after the first program is randomly chosen, the rest of the random chosen programs will be after program 1. The rest is in a logical order. After program 1 the system will randomly choose a new program for the next step that could be any of the steps exept program 1. So a long way of steps could look like this: Program 2 - Program 1 - Program 4 - Program 1 - Program 2 - Program 1 - Program 3 - Program 1 - Program 3 - Program 1 - Program 4 - Program 1 etc. etc. etc. The amount of steps that will be taken is the amount of times that the loop is set to.

I recommend checking out the [LeJOS API](http://www.lejos.org/nxt/nxj/api/index.html) while I describe some of the classes, it is pretty easy to look them up there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you want to know the location of the robot, you need to use some sort of `Pilot` class.  To me, it sounds like you want to use the `DifferentialPilot` (of course, use the `Pilot` class that controls your robot, for instance, a triangle robot).  You create the `DifferentialPilot` with a wheel diameter, distance between the wheels, the `Motor` that is on the left, and the `Motor` that is on the right.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Create a `Navigator`, and give it the `Pilot` so that it can control the robot.  Next, create a `Timer` that will poll the position of the robot however often you want (maybe something like every second?).  I think you get the position from the `Pilot`.  Call `addWaypoint()` on the `Navigator` with the x and y position (which I think you can pull the pose from the `Pilot`).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, modify your line-following code so that it uses the `Pilot`'s controls (`travel()`, `rotate()`, etc.).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When you have followed the line, you should have a list of `Waypoint`s that you can use to navigate the same path, without using the line-following code.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can then call `followPath()` on the `Navigator`, and the robot *should* follow the path.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, it is important to make sure that your `DifferentialPilot` or whatever is as precise as it can be, so measure and refine the wheel diameter until you get really good accuracy, using whatever surface you are going to be using in the end.  If you have any questions about calibration, I would recommend a new question, but for now, I have a video [here](https://youtu.be/mMvg4xdXGDI) which covers it and shows the step-by-step process (hopefully this doesn't count as advertising, it is not intended to be any).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hopefully I was clear, it can get a bit jumbled together after programming NXTs with LeJOS for a number of years!"

The holes you see are simply an artifact of the forming process.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That said, it would be possible to build a scaffolding that supports a baseplate and keeps it &quot;in system&quot; with the surrounding bricks. A baseplate sitting (loosely) on top of the studs of another brick rests at the same height as a plate sitting on those bricks. So with three plates' height you can sandwich the baseplate in and attach it to something. This would allow you to secure the baseplate using the top studs and support it using the bottom of the scaffold.

If you found normal basic bricks without the LEGO logo, then they are definitely not Lego.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, some parts are too small to have the logo. Things like utensils from the Friends theme, balls, technic pins, etc. don't have room for the logo, but this doesn't mean they aren't made by Lego.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The very first Lego bricks (2x2 and 2x4 bricks in 1949) also didn't include any logo or markings on the bricks. They also had completely hollow undersides, and slots in the side walls. But I suspect this is not what you have.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for the bricks with two different fonts of LEGO, these may be made by Samsonite (under contract with Lego) in the 60s–80s.

Mine, and my kids'. The rules are stricter for mine: the Lego isn't meant to be thrown around, dropped pieces should be picked up, it isn't to be left on the floor, it doesn't get brought all over the house, and it gets put away every time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The kids' collections they keep in plastic boxes and they can play with it how they want. Sometimes pieces get lost. I try to impress on them the importance of keeping the pieces together and putting things away where they go, but it isn't always possible. It might be a lesson they need to learn the hard way. My kids are extremely respectful of my Lego collection but not so much of their own. So it _is_ possible to enact rules they can follow, but there are limits.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One issue that can help with missing parts is keeping track of where the parts should be. Keeping all the parts in one big box makes it harder to tell what's missing. If you keep your kits assembled as per the instructions, you'll know the parts are all there. Of course, this dampens your ability to create your own things, so maybe some other organizational method will help. You could sort the parts into ziplock bags by colour. You could put all the minifigs and their accessories in separate bags. Having enough smaller containers that lets you see when pieces are misplaced (i.e. not lost, but in the wrong container) helps you find pieces when you need them. Being able to estimate if a certain bag is missing pieces, or plainly recognizing that a certain piece is gone gives you the motivation to search for it now before the vacuum gets it. Keeping organized helps prevent problems. But it's also a buzzkill for many people.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That said: pieces will get lost. They will get broken. They will change colour in the sun. They'll lose their clutch power. So how do we cope?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The easiest solution is to order replacement parts from either Lego itself or from vendors on a site such as [Bricklink](http://bricklink.com). Some pieces are rare and hard to replace, but other pieces are easy to find and cost just pennies. Bricklink is intimidating at first but it's reasonably well structured and you can eventually find what you need. " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I am not sure how to do that with the drag-and-drop EV3 software, but my recommendation is to have some sort of feedback loop that reads the rotation of the motors from their tachometers.  If you can, make sure that the move block is combined with the other wheels move block and not separate so that the firmware can't think that it should start the moves at separate times.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are firmware replacements out there that do this feedback loop automatically, if that would be a preferred option.

This combination will have one end solidly inserted (actually sticking out 1/2 a brick) and the other end is halfway in.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][7]][7][![enter image description here][8]][8]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Exchange the &quot;standard&quot; Technic 1x2 brick for a [6541 Technic, Brick 1 x 1 with Hole][9], or even better, a [32000 Technic, Brick 1 x 2 with Holes][10]. Then use a [44809 Technic, Pin Connector Perpendicular 2 x 2 Bent][11] and two normal friction pins to make the connection. This should be rock solid.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][12]][12][![enter image description here][13]][13][![enter image description here][14]][14]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The solution would look like this: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][15]][15][![enter image description here][16]][16]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;____________________&#xD;&#xA;**BEGIN EDIT 2016/03/04:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. I recently came across this piece that would be IDEAL for your original purpose: [Part 6553 Technic Pole Reverser Handle](http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=6553). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][17]][17]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This piece puts the axle it can accept in the opening at a 1/2 stud distance from the brick it connects to, which would work perfectly in your original design. Combine this with any axle and you get the following solution:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][18]][18][![enter image description here][19]][19]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This solution has the advantage that you can take it apart much easier than solution 3, which is more of a &quot;permanent attachment&quot; option. The axle connected to 6653 is 1.5 long, so it does stick 1/2 stud out from the back of the +-shaped Technic brick. You will need to account for this in your design.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**END EDIT 2016/03/04**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=10197&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=4265c&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/x3twP.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/t0poB.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=22961&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=18651&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/UJmCm.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/RbzEm.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=6541&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=32000&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=44809&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/plLgR.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [13]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/hsgUL.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [14]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/CvxuZ.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [15]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/0bysU.png&#xD;&#xA;  [16]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/7z9y3.png&#xD;&#xA;  [17]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/vqtdu.gif&#xD;&#xA;  [18]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ocR3g.png&#xD;&#xA;  [19]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/7YN9W.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Create a user and log into Rebrickable.com.&#xD;&#xA;2. Under 'My Parts', create a new part list, and start adding your parts using their catalog. They have a very good search engine and you can quickly find most, if not all, of the exact parts.&#xD;&#xA;3. Once done, go to the 'Build' section, where you can see which LEGO sets you can build from your part list. It gives you a percentage so e.g. if you have a set with 91% match, then that's probably the original set, and you're just missing a few odd parts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I did all that (took a while, had over 800 pieces to catalog....), figured out which sets are the most probable ones, and ordered the missing parts (usually from BrickLink.com) to complete them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It was really an excitement to see some 30-year old lego sets being built again :)" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The example showed here should not even compile because the only AWT classes we have access to are `java.awt.Point` and `java.awt.Rectangle`. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Furthermore, only some of the `javax.microedition.lcdui` API is implemented, so you should check the documentation to see if `Image` is supported in the manner you want.

I've put LEGO gears through everything I could and they were fine. That includes spinning an 8-tooth gear at around 80,000 RPM (sustained for only a second or two) via a flywheel-based stored-energy device. I've driven a 9lb vehicle with about 40 gears in the drivetrain, and none broke.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Slipping teeth is rather common. As a guide, if you sandwich spur gears between two beams or bricks with holes, you're not going to grind them. I would trust that for 100Ncm or more. If you are going to put the structural beams further away from the gears, the torque limit reduces. You can increase it by adding bushes (to stop gears from sliding along axles) or by adding short beams that span two axles - this stops the axles from bending and disengaging the gears."

I have personally run a test or two on this, and my conclusion is that the wheels are set off kilter on their axles.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The answer is bushings. Bushings are the little doodads that keep a gear or wheel in place on the axle. Put one on either side of a wheel, and the result is that those 90-degree turns, which produce torque on the wheel, relieved by movement along the cross-axle, will no longer set your wheel out of place. If this doesn't work, I would do as the commentators and other answer-er suggest, and make sure that your unit can hold a charge. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Measure this by telling just *one* motor with your EV3 unit to turn. Measure the amount of rotation. Now run the program again. You don't need anything attached on the motor, so as not to throw it off, and when the next turn program is run, you will have your answer based on the amount of rotation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If it is lower, your EV3 doesn't hold charge anymore, and you need a new one. Sorry.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If it is the same, it is a structural problem, and you just need to make sure that nothing is moving noticeably out of place when running it."

It has a ridiculous amount of brand names, but it's basically a safely removable, free-form version of duct-tape. It will stick to anything, and increases its own surface area by spreading all throughout something like, say, the little pins and circles on the bottoms of a brick or plate. Instead of being less effective in this scenario, it actually has more grip, and will stay on.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another benefit is that it all comes out in one piece, so no tooth-pickery. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sticky tack sticks to itself as well, so it's perfect for affixing electrical components, especially LEDs and other bits with pins. For a NeoPixel strip, it's still light enough that with a decent amount (which isn't much- you buy by the pound for like 3 bucks,) you can affix as many as you could possibly dream of and have plenty left over. The flat back is no problem, remember, it sticks to everything.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Alternatively: There is also a far more common piece than the 11203...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You know those 2x2 plate bottoms with a round bottom surface? However you intend to affix your strips to your piece, they should work fine, and the plus is how cheap they are.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And, since I've only seen a couple of those strips, (maybe they already have a sticky surface?) it's possible that sticky tack won't work. But even if the strips *do* have sticky backs, the tack will still hold them. Maybe even better than just regularly against a flat bottom. It's a good bet. For cheap."

The problems with the structural integrity of any floor are simple, as follows:&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA; 1. The integrity of the walls above; how well they &quot;grip&quot; the floor.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 2. The integrity, if applicable, of the walls *below*, how well they hold the floor *up*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 3. The integrity, or more specifically torque resistance, of the floor.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The structural engineer can now see why this brought out a chuckle.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For a LEGO build, the floor will be placed, inherently, on another floor. Thus, except in multi-story skyscraper builds, neither issue 2 nor issue 3 apply.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The real floor supports your LEGO floor with ease; otherwise it wouldn't be holding you very well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only thing to worry about is how good your connections to the upper pieces, (walls,) of the build are. Thus, neither your floor nor your ceiling, (You shouldn't put anything on top anyway, at least not something heavy, will be any trouble. However! Your connection to the sides of the case is very important. If the bottom falls out when you pick the unit up, it's no longer a good day.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*TL;DR*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*The floor itself, provided you don't use a single plate, or aren't holding up real actual cement bricks, will be perfectly fine, you should worry about keeping the walls connected to the base , i.e a dovetail.*" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It would be an added benefit if they were, but I really just need to cheapest way to find lots of these pieces.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would like a source for NEW or LIKE NEW parts. I don't necessarily have to have new parts, but I don't want to mess around with ordering used parts that can have a wide variety of things wrong with them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have looked on Bricklink, as they have been an awesome resource for normal sized LEGO parts. However, there just doesn't seem to be much of a supply of DUPLO on there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Any ideas where to look next?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Perhaps there is a Clone brand that I can order specific parts from?"

I also hand-placed studs for reference, and used a non-LEGO color for the background, and a shadow, to remove confusion.

A certain challenge may put not only your knowledge, but also your building skill. So it won't work like Oveflow, Codegolf, or WB. It might be even *better.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And now the question itself: How would you make a non-technic structure, at least 2 feet tall, that can withstand a good, swift kick? Include pictures!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rules: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Non-technic means that the build must have less than 50% technic pieces.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The build must be on  flat surface, and cannot be &quot;dug in.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&quot;Withstand&quot; entails that no pieces are removed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If no pictures are given, the description must be thorough, for replication.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The bricks may be LEGO, BIONICLE, Mega Bloks, KRE-O, or other clone brands, but not DUPLO, QUATRO, K'NEX, or Znap.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The answer with the most votes in a week that provably solves the problem will be the winner.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The current palm design I'm trying uses the [Technic Gear, 24 Tooth](https://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=3648#T=C) with four of the [Pin with Towball](https://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=6628#T=C) in its four holes, on which the [longer Mixels ball joint cups](https://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=14418#T=C) are attached. The result is shown in the picture below.&#xD;&#xA;[![Picture of current hand assembly.][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This hand works well for the most part, but the ball joint cups tend to run into each other when splayed out as pictured. This makes poseability a good deal harder in terms of  fine finger movements (gripping seems, thankfully, unaffected). There is also the issue of this hand being two studs thick, due to the towball pins being positioned outward from the palm. I've looked around for alternate builds or pieces that could improve this design, but nothing quite fits. For instance, the [Compact Steering Arm](https://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=15460#T=C) is almost perfect, but is missing a fourth ball joint. The old [Helicopter Rotor Holder](https://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=2908#T=C) is very nearly too wide for the design, and doesn't seem to allow friction in its connection.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My challenge is this: design a palm with towball attachments for four fingers, either at the four compass points from the center or capable of being placed in these positions, and a central attachment point with either an [axle](https://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=32062#T=C) hole to prevent turning at all or a pin hole that can accept a [friction-creating pin](https://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=43093#T=C). The towballs should be far enough apart that the ball joint cups don't run into each other. A one-stud thickness would also be a plus, but might not be possible with the previous specifications.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks to Caleb Woodman for pioneering the challenge tag mere minutes before I came to the site to ask this.

They told me to also post this question here. OK, my friends and I have Lego NXT sumo bot competions for fun. Basically, you build a robot that waits five seconds and competes against a robot to stay on a board. We normally focus on the mechanical side to win against other robots (find them and push them off the board), but I had the idea to try a software attack. My idea was too:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Find some sort of Bluetooth vulnerability that I could exploit from another NXT (I write my programs in NXC).&#xD;&#xA; 2. Upload a malicious program that makes the robot drive backwards forever.&#xD;&#xA; 3. Somehow execute the program(and win!).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have tried testing the NXT Bluetooth for vulnerabilities (I have knowledge of Windows/Linux exploitation and debugging) and I can't find anything. The main problem is that the NXT firmware handles Bluetooth connections, in other words you connect the devices with a pass code **before** running the program that requires Bluetooth. So, my questions are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Is this even slightly possible or a waste of time?&#xD;&#xA; - If there was a NXT Bluetooth vulnerability, could I even send it from another NXT that's not connected?&#xD;&#xA; - Was this the right place to post this question?&#xD;&#xA; - Would NXT debugging even be possible?"

The current palm design I'm trying uses the [Technic Gear, 24 Tooth](https://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=3648#T=C) with four of the [Pin with Towball](https://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=6628#T=C) in its four holes, on which the [longer Mixels ball joint cups](https://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=14418#T=C) are attached. The result is shown in the picture below.&#xD;&#xA;[![Picture of current hand assembly.][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This hand works well for the most part, but the ball joint cups tend to run into each other when splayed out as pictured. This makes poseability a good deal harder in terms of  fine finger movements (gripping seems, thankfully, unaffected). There is also the issue of this hand being two studs thick, due to the towball pins being positioned outward from the palm. I've looked around for alternate builds or pieces that could improve this design, but nothing quite fits. For instance, the [Compact Steering Arm](https://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=15460#T=C) is almost perfect, but is missing a fourth ball joint. The old [Helicopter Rotor Holder](https://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=2908#T=C) is very nearly too wide for the design, and doesn't seem to allow friction in its connection.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My challenge is this: design a palm with towball attachments for four fingers, either at the four compass points from the center or capable of being placed in these positions, and a central attachment point with either an [axle](https://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=32062#T=C) hole to prevent turning at all or a pin hole that can accept a [friction-creating pin](https://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=43093#T=C). The towballs should be far enough apart that the ball joint cups don't run into each other. The towballs must also be no more than two studs apart (measured from the center between towballs on the same edge of the hand), or else the finger design I'm using will not properly close across the palm. A one-stud thickness would also be a plus, but might not be possible with the previous specifications.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks to Caleb Woodman for pioneering the challenge tag mere minutes before I came to the site to ask this. I probably would have spent a lot longer searching the tag list if I hadn't seen that on the front page.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/jrjcs.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I'm not saying I know for sure if an exploit exists, either in the communications protocol or the BT firmware, but exploits are always possible. And it's not like LEGO is incentivized to look for obscure security issues in this stuff -- it just isn't that important.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Exploits come in different flavours, as do attacks. One place to start looking is the vendors that LEGO sourced for the various pieces of the NXT platform, and not just Bluetooth. We are looking for manufacturers that have released security notices for their hardware and drivers in the hopes that an exploit is still in the wild in an unpatched device used on NXT.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another trick is to decide what sort of attack payloads are available. For example, even if you can't get debug access to the device, maybe you could keep the device so busy with bogus or specially crafted connection attempts that you gain some advantage. A denial-of-service attack is often just as effective as a direct hack.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You want to start looking at all the I/O that NXT uses, and then see how you can exploit it for direct access or some sort of leverage that gives you an advantage of some other sort.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And often exploits are leveraged in concert to get the access the hacker wants. So, you want to collect as much information as possible, and then start hacking your Kobayashi Maru solution." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I stumbled across a youtube vid of a child explaining his method, and mine was built off of his.  His idea is to take labels, cut them into tiny pieces that are stuck onto the arm at the point where it connects into the torso. This works, all too well. Here's the problem. The arms get incredibly tight, as a result of there being too much pressure. This pressure slowly puts stress on the torso, and within weeks you will notice the modified figures busting open at the seam off the torso. This is generally on the sides, at the base, and it slowly cracks it's way up to the armpit permanently destroying your figures. I found this out the hard way when 10 of my superhero figures were destroyed. Still, I am thankful because this lead to my discovery. Once the figures had been destroyed, I quickly removed the labels from all the others I had done, to stop them from suffering the same fate. What I realized was that once the arms had been doctored, after removing the label (I used small pieces of a cat hair roller, and I'd advise you use this because I'm not sure labels are sticky enough) the arms retained Their clutch. This is a result of the stickiness staying with the arms after the sticky paper/cat roller material had been removed, but it feels like a perfect arm. The clutch is there, and you will not have to worry about the torso cracking. So now that you know, don't make the same mistake I did. This is what I would advise. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Remove the loose arm.&#xD;&#xA;2. cut a small square off the cat roller. &#xD;&#xA;3. place it on the connected part of the loose arm. &#xD;&#xA;4. insert it into a torso that you have double of, or don't care about.&#xD;&#xA;5. set it down, and wait an hour. &#xD;&#xA;6. remove the arm, take off the sticky paper. &#xD;&#xA;7. carefully insert arm back into the original torso. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now you have a perfect arm. It has amazing clutch, and best of all because the clutch comes from a sticky texture instead of immense pressure, your torsos will stay intact." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

A copy is located here: http://bramlambrecht.com/tmp/jamieberard-brickstress-bf06.pdf&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some examples:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Studs-on-side bricks cannot have their side stud in the hole of a&#xD;&#xA;   technic brick&#xD;&#xA; - Bricks mounted SNOT style onto Ehrling/Headlight bricks cannot sit&#xD;&#xA;   directly above a normal stud (the minimal height of the LEGO&#xD;&#xA;   embossing makes that combination illegal)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Technic pins have to be fully inserted into technic holes, otherwise they stay in compressed state which causes stress on the element.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Plates cannot be inserted with their studs into technic bricks, unless it is a 1x1 plate (so only 1 hole is used) and there is no brick attached to the technic brick directly above the inserted plate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - As mentioned by you already, you cannot insert plates between studs (this used to be a valid technique 20+ years ago, but is no longer considered &quot;legal&quot; by LEGO)."

It then produced 12939 which entered production/circulation in 2010 and is still out there in new sets, however, in 2014 LEGO started producing yet another design numbered 15254.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since 10225 R2D2 was produced for about 2.5 years from 2012 to 2014, it fell right smack in the middle of the change-over between these 3 molds. So per set it really depended on what mold had been printed and was sitting in the supply for the given production facility - some sets will have gotten 3307, other sets 12939 and even some late sets will have gotten 15254. For LEGO there is no difference in these parts and they will have been substituted.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Bricklink indeed mentions 3307, but has 12939 listed as alternate, so it recognizes both came in this set.

They're sorta like the special dolls that come in the clear-plastic boxes. You can't make them too big. We may see some new ones, but that means we first have to go back to a smaller standard BIONICLE figure size. There's a reason that Scopio, Ackar, and Takutanuva don't come in displays. Fikou or the Ragaha or the other little dudes, on the other side of that, would be too small. Gali and Tahu, if we could get some new guys like that, that would be ideal.

However, after I bought some of them and carefully inspected each part at home, I get rather confused... &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Helmet - There's no &quot;LEGO&quot; logo anywhere in the helmet. Is that legit?&#xD;&#xA;2. Faces - All are black, round, with no &quot;LEGO&quot; anywhere. Is this legit too?&#xD;&#xA;3. Torso - Only what seems to be &quot;LEGO&quot; on the stud connecting to the head that's somewhat &quot;punched&quot; in the middle. Legit?&#xD;&#xA;4. Feet - 2 of them have the &quot;LEGO&quot; on the left feet, and 1 has both feet with &quot;LEGO&quot;. 2 of the &quot;LEGO&quot; in the centre area do not have the copyright icon, and 1 has. Too many &quot;LEGO&quot;s also suspicious?&#xD;&#xA;5. Weapon - This is the one that got me most confused.

If you can build a differential, then drive two wheels with the motor.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you have limited gears, then drive one wheel, have an idler wheel and a caster or simple skid arrangement. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can get more interesting behaviour by having a bumpbot, that simply reverses the motor when it detects an obstacle. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;See [the Wikipedia article on casters][1], but there is a strong relationship between wheel diameter and how high the caster should be. And the surface area of the wheel and the mass of the load drive the how easy and fast things swivel. It's an interesting engineering trade-off, and I've never been able to make a perfect caster, even with lots of Technics parts. I now have reasonable respect for those people who design the casters into the everyday things we use without considering how difficult these trade-offs can be. (As in, it isn't an intractable problem, but the problem domain is extremely sensitive to small changes.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Start with a skid first, and an easy, smooth surface to see if you get the basic behaviour you want.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, you may get more interesting behaviour by ramping or stuttering motor direction and speed a little on obstacle sense. This is a cheap way to introduce some more randomness into the system.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Even more finally, you might want to get your hands on some LEGO Ball Casters, which I didn't know existed until this very moment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caster#Wheel_diameter.2C_wheel_width.2C_and_tandem_wheels" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The bags are opaque, so you cannot see what's in the bags, but almost everywhere they are sold you can feel the bags, and you can determine what figure is in the bag. With the exception of the recent Soccer Team figures, collectible minifigures are always unique in terms of what parts are in the bag. Just shake and squeeze the bag until the distinctive piece is found.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The problem with the math way: One can compute the probability of, say, picking two matching socks out of a drawer of miscellaneous socks, or of picking a whole collection of figures out of a box of figures. But there are a few complications:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Someone else has been there before you and squeezed the bags to find all the space marines.&#xD;&#xA; - Someone else has been there before you and grabbed a few at random, but then squeezed a few more bags to find the Princess.&#xD;&#xA; - The store takes what's left from the first box and jams it into the second box when the box runs low; or they don't even display them in the original box, making it impossible to know how many boxes are in play and how many figures have been picked.&#xD;&#xA; - There are usually 16 figures in a collection and 60 figures in a box; this means the figures cannot be evenly distributed. Some series have had as few as two of one figure in the box. Given that, it's entirely possible (though unlikely) to pick 58 figures and miss both of that elusive Unicorn Girl.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If squeezing the bags isn't an option, the only way to be sure is to buy a new, unopened box."

Some of which I will keep for my little boy to play with in coming years with a proportion to be sold on to raise funds.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In amongst it all is a quantity of these which I suspect are not genuine Lego but perhaps someone here knows precisely what it is? A lengthy Internet search has so far proved fruitless so I'm hoping for positive identification here.  Please excuse the quality of the photos that I'm going to try and upload.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Firstly it is perfectly Lego compatible, same dimensions.  No tubes underneath and studs which resemble those of Technic beams. Baseplates have a crisscross pattern underneath and window elements with a couple of lugs to aid location.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Plastic seems slightly thinner than the real thing, less flexible, more brittle, tinny sound when chucked in a pile. Corners are rounder and side walls less flat.  There are numbers moulded into the undersides of the bricks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've got a bag of several hundred pieces and would part with them if there turned out to be someone collecting them.

They used to produce [universal sets][1] that were roughly equivalent to the Creative Box that you're referencing. Here's an example:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![8032][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These sets all included lots of basic Technic parts and instructions for 3+ models to get you started building.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is getting into the realm of speculation, but TLG stopped producing the universal sets right before Mindstorms launched, so I would guess that they felt that Mindstorms filled the free creative building niche and didn't want multiple subthemes in that space. The primary Mindstorms sets include a wide variety of multipurpose parts, instructions for multiple models, and encourage free building and exploration rather than just building a single main model. So, a second answer could be that Mindstorms is the Technic equivalent of the current &quot;Bricks and Pieces&quot; line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![ev3][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I do think that it would be nice to have sets exactly like what you are describing. I grew up with a few of the universal sets, and they were great. If you're looking to get something like this, it's worth noting that there have been some sets like this recently in the Education line, such as Simple Machines (9689), but those tend to be overpriced in my opinion. You're better off just picking up the parts the you want from Bricklink.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![9689][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://brickset.com/sets/theme-Technic?query=universal&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/VT8pN.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/q0miV.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/SsJkM.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

In their list of lego windows https://www.toysperiod.com/lego-set-reference/parts/windows-and-doors/windows/ I do not see any windows with dimensions 1x6x3 with two panes (with or without glass). There are windows of the same width that are 1x6x2 with one center 2x2 pane and two side 1x2 panes, and 1x6x3 windows with a single pane (both of which I've seen in actual sets as they are fairly common), but not 1.5 stud panes on a 6x3 window. But even looking at the 1x6x3 window that is a single pane, the details still seem wrong. The bottom of the window only has nubs to connect the window every other stud instead of every stud. Every picture I could find of genuine old legos of that vintage either have nubs between every stud, or was completely without nubs on the bottom. And the pattern carved above and below the space for the window &quot;glass&quot; doesn't appear to have the correct groove pattern.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Next, the large green plate. the tops of those studs are hollow (actually, the tops are hollow on all the pieces shown), which is sometimes used in legos, especially modern legos so that they can hold small parts like flames, but usually not on large plates, and having every piece in the set have those kinds of studs would seem incredibly surprising... And although I have seen old lego plates with square holes on the bottom, from the period before they switched to round pegs between studs, the genuine ones I've seen have a single thicker &quot;bar&quot; of plastic between each stud not two parallel strips of plastic between each stud.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And that roof tile that is 3x4x1 is an unusual dimension for a lego roof tile. I'm a bit suspicious that combination, especially with hollow stud tops, will not show up in lego parts databases either. Having a 30 degree slant 3x4x1 with only one row of studs on top would be common, or having a 45 degree slant 2x4x1 would be common...but not two rows of studs on top with a 45 degree slant.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Most of the other pieces in your photos are too blurry to really identify at great detail, but already there just seem to be be too many things &quot;off&quot; about these including other details you mention (aside from the numbers molded into the underside, which is a feature also present in genuine legos of older vintages)" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

A certain challenge may put not only your knowledge, but also your building skill. So it won't work like Oveflow, Codegolf, or WB. It might be even *better.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, the question today is: How would you make a non-technic structure, at least 2 feet tall, that can withstand a full kick? Include pictures!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rules: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Non-technic means that the build must have less than 50% technic pieces.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The build must be on a flat surface, and cannot be &quot;dug in.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&quot;Withstand&quot; entails that no pieces are removed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If no pictures are given, the description must be thorough, for replication.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The bricks may be LEGO, BIONICLE, Mega Bloks, KRE-O, or other clone brands, but not DUPLO, QUATRO, K'NEX, or Znap.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The answer with the most votes in a week that provably solves the problem will be the winner.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

While I have experienced this, the pump will usually hit its max pressure before any pipes pop off if they are attached securely (i.e. pushed as far as possible onto their connections).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some pipes also tend to come off easier than others, in my experience the older ones along with the clear types tend to make looser connections.

Link directly to the specified parts instead." Text="I think the most important aspect is a matter of geometry.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With studded beams, you're constrained by the form factor of the regular LEGO brick, which isn't a cube but a 5:5:6 [cuboid](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuboid). This means that every time you need to change the orientation of things, you'll have to think about how you're going to do it, and use plates and whatnot between beams. It's perfectly possible, but don't be surprised if most of the beams in older Technic models are studs up.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With studless beams, none of that. Orientation of the beams doesn't matter much anymore since they'll fit nicely on a cubic grid. This allows for greater flexibility and, indeed, more realistic models. (Some people also like smooth surfaces better.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, the studded beams had some design issues. The obvious one is the offset between the Technic holes and the studs, which isn't exactly a problem but can still be a nuisance at times. The less obvious one is that the Technic hole in beams is actually slightly too high, meaning it doesn't interact well with the rest of the system. See also [this answer](http://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/519/99) and the linked pdf inside for more information on illegal builds. These two design &quot;flaws&quot; didn't matter much when the beams were first created, but nowadays LEGO perceives this sort of incompatibility much more seriously. They still produce studded beams, but I wouldn't venture a guess on how long that will last.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;br /&gt;One side effect of the transition is that most studless Technic constructions have odd dimensions, because the studless beams themselves have odd dimensions (presumably, because the number of holes on studded beams were also odd due to the offset). As a consequence, the whole Technic system is undergoing a complete overhaul.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At first, more odd axles have been introduced (most notably 7 and 9), then the universal join was shortened from [4](http://www.brickset.com/parts/design-9244) to [3](http://www.brickset.com/parts/design-61903) (the old one was last seen in 2008, so it's probably gone for good), and more recently the [differential](http://www.brickset.com/parts/design-6573) has also been [remade](http://www.brickset.com/parts/design-62821) (there's still one in the 2011 Unimog, but I don't know if they'll actually discontinue it considering it has a function the new one doesn't have.). I don't see any other part left that needs to be updated from even to odd, but considering how often they use a [#2 connector](http://www.brickset.com/parts/design-32034) just to connect axles, I wouldn't be surprised if they made a 3L version of the [axle connector](http://www.brickset.com/parts/design-59443) at some point &#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

They have more plastic in them (they weigh more) which also pushes up the cost. But the mould complexity is the real killer. If you look carefully there's a void over the top of the holes in the beam. That means moulds with moving parts, and the more parts the more it costs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The design is also not ideal from a rigidity or symmetry point of view. There's a solid bar of plastic along the top under the studs, but just two thin sidewalls at the bottom. That means the centre of flexion along the beam is much closer to the top than the bottom, and I suspect that getting the moulding temperature and pressure right to get straight beams is harder than for symmetrical parts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that some of this also applies to standard 1x16 bricks, except that the mould is much simpler."

The bag is just there to keep foam and Lego separated (finding a 1x1 tile among 6-8 pieces of foam is annoying). Try to keep your boxes all the same size and shape, or multiples therof, so they're easier to pack. The way Lego does :)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A useful variation on Ambo100's folding building that I've seen once, was an invertable building.

A collection of photos designed to help with reassembly is likely to be helpful, and will be essential if you want to accept offers of help with the reassembly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I tend to ship the more fragile sub-assemblies in dedicated shipping boxes with a foam cut-out shaped to hold them. Rather than plastic wrap I use plastic bags. The bag is just there to keep foam and Lego separated (finding a 1x1 tile among 6-8 pieces of foam is annoying). Try to keep your boxes all the same size and shape, or multiples theerof, so they're easier to pack. The way Lego does :)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A useful variation on Ambo100's folding building that I've seen once, was an invertable building. The extremely detailed front wall was removable, and the inside built so that it could be flipped round to have all the detailed bits on the inside. That way most of the &quot;outside&quot; when shipping was reasonably solid, planar surfaces.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I build Technic, so my constraints are different, but the other technique I expect to use shortly is custom plywood boxes and platforms. For a metre-square model I will build a platform to hold it, then make walls and a lid that can be attached either above or below the model. One way up it's boxed for transport, the other way it's got its own table for display. With a little care I hope to make the base exactly 6 bricks high, so if it needs to go on a table with other models it will be relatively easy to get the height right."

Linked to SE answer on age groups." Text="I once had an acquaintance who worked at Lego as a product designer (I don't remember his exact title). His job was, simply put, to come up with new sets. There are some general constraints – balancing the different Lego worlds/themes (contemporary, pirate-age, Star Wars, Harry Potter, etc.), hitting certain price points/box sizes (limiting the number of bricks in a set), coming up with sets that work well together, targeting different [age groups][1]/motor skills etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;LEGO also tries to design the individual pieces to be used in many settings. The same terrain/foundation was used with different paint for the anti-pirate fortress (which my sister had) and the dragon knights castle (which I had). In the old days it was fairly rare for Lego to make new brick types – it has become less so, as their manufacturing processes have become more nimble and less expensive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for the software used in designing LEGO sets, I know little about it. They do use software/brick simulation, but also work with the physical bricks, especially the old hands :)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/6873/7476" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Determine rarity of the parts by going to [BrickLink](http://www.bricklink.com) and search for the part name or number using the Catalog Search. BrickLink is a little finnicky with names and part numbers so it might take a few tries to get the right part (or to get it to return anything at all). For your items, [95292 only occurs in 3 sets](http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=95292c01#T=C), whereas [57518 appears in 29 sets](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=57518&amp;in=S).&#xD;&#xA; 2. You have several ways to go now - but the easiest is to have 2 tabs open, one for each of the list of sets. For each item in the shortest list, check if it occurs in the longer list (if the longer list is long, you can use Ctrl+F in your browser to do a text search on the page). Sorting each list by year might also help in doing this comparison.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For your selection of parts, it is quickly clear that **there is no set that contains both**. Not only that, the shock absorber you are looking for only occurred in 3 sets, all pretty limited in distribution (one of them being a truly Limited Edition of only 20k sets). Expect to be paying $10 per piece on BrickLink if you must have these. You might want to consider its shorter cousin [731c04 which occurs in 22 sets][1], including some lower-priced starter Technic sets. It can also be bought from many sellers on BrickLink for less than $2 per piece.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=731c04&amp;in=S" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

So if you have a particular design in mind, look at the currently available - or recently retired - LEGO Technic sets and see which one would have all or most of the pieces you would like to work with.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can also check eBay and BrickLink for used LEGO Technic sets. They are less expensive than new condition sets, but are still well taken care of by the original owner. If a few pieces are missing they are even cheaper. Building up a LEGO Technic collection this way usually works out better than just buying random lots from resellers. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In general BrickLink is the better way to go as the sellers are also dedicated LEGO fans and won't sell you something they wouldn't be happy with themselves. However eBay could be cheaper. If there are good pictures of the used set, and they are from the original owner, you can find great deals.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In summary, when you buy pre-owned, it is best to find slightly used full sets from original adult owners. The pieces will be in better condition and the selection of parts will also be better, rather than just buying random lots where you don't know the history and condition of the pieces, and the seller is not the original owner."

Can buy it in hardware or auto body shop supplies. In auto body work it is used to degrease and clean adhesives off surfaces. It is also a major component of ABS plastic cement, which you can also use but it's messier. You can also put a bit of MEK in a glass jar and then throw in old lego pieces to create a filler and cementer. But that is a rare thing to need.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I use an eye dropper bottle (glass of course) or glass syringe to glue parts together. You MUST be in a well ventilated area, and I mean well ventilated. &#xD;&#xA;MEK melts plastic so put the pieces together before it evaporates. If your eyes are near MEK they will be bloodshot, so have a fan or do this outside, like I do. Also wear those cool blue non latex gloves to protect your hands. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I use MEK to glue major structures together that fall apart - like supports. In tall structures I will glue the structure into two halves so that they can be stored partially unassembled, and then put back together. It is also useful to glue things like space shuttle parts that continually fall off when played with. I never glue all of the pieces, just the major parts that support the toy, that way it can still be disassembled. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;MEK works great and I love how it keeps builds together that would otherwise be lost forever in masses of parts stored in bins and tubs. &#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Double check also for blockages in the hard plastic dark old grey connecting tubes that are clipped on and the 'T's - these have a smaller inner diameter than the rubber tube and would be the first to get a blockage if something has got in to the system. If you are certain its a tube problem you can buy replacement tube from my website spareblocks.com &lt;http://www.spareblocks.com/lego_compatible_pneumatic_tube.html&gt; - the quality is very good as we are now selling the third batch we had specifically designed to maximise pneumatic performance.

I made **an adapter to connect a 9V power source to the battery contacts in a regular Power Functions battery box.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* The trickiest part is making the connection to the positive terminal of the battery box (which is a recessed flat contact as opposed to a spring). There are lots of ways the details of this could be handled, depending on the materials and tools available. I used two AAA-to-AA battery size adapters that I had on hand — for this purpose, they're just battery-shaped plastic objects with contacts on the ends. One of them has only the negative end connected, and the other has only the positive end.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  (Perhaps there are LEGO parts that could be used instead? 2×2 cylinder bricks are a bit too large…)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Hook up these two “dummy batteries” to your power adapter. (If your power adapter has a barrel plug and you don't want to chop it off, that may be the because you need a matching jack. I just bought a surplus adapter and cut the plug off.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* The two “batteries” go into the “endmost” slots in the battery box — these are the two that are closest to (negative end) and farthest from (positive end) the switch, paying attention to the zigzag shape of the two sides of the box. These are the two slots that are actually wired to the switch and output; the rest are just to make connections between six separate cells, which we don't need.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Positive battery connection][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;[![Negative battery connection][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;[![Dummy batteries][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Materials used in this particular build:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Two AAA-to-AA adapters, with holes made in the sides for the wire.&#xD;&#xA;* Wooden dowel, to fill out the interior space, with a groove cut in the side to make room for the wire.&#xD;&#xA;* Spring, at non-contact end.&#xD;&#xA;* Ordinary brass thumbtack, pressed into the contact end of the dowel.&#xD;&#xA;* Wire, soldered to the inside of the tack.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are surely much less complicated ways to do this, such as not bothering with the plastic adapter, though then you need to be more precise about making things the right size.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Pros of this method:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Cheap if you have the right materials on hand.&#xD;&#xA;* You get the reverse/off switch and overload protection circuit that's in the battery box (unlike, say, cutting a Power Functions wire to make direct connections, which would also _work_).&#xD;&#xA;* No bulky speed control box if you don't need it.&#xD;&#xA;* The same adapter can power an old-style 9V battery box, a Mindstorms brick, or anything else taking 6 AAs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Cons of this method:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Not an official LEGO power adapter.&#xD;&#xA;* Might be stressing the battery box due to long-term higher voltage than AA batteries under load.&#xD;&#xA;* You get no speed control (if that's something you care about).&#xD;&#xA;* Ugly; you have a battery box with the covers taken off.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Tplxi.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/XI93W.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/PHJFE.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I have also seen modules with an RCX, I think that has a plug for an adaptor directly, but I'm not sure, I don't think I've seen GBC modules powered by EV3's yet, but there's probably a solution. - Probably more expensive, but having an NXT in a module allows other possibilities, especially if you also put in some sensors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As Mr. Shiny and New 安宇 mentions the rechargable battery box is a third solution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All of these solutions have the advantage that they only use official unmodified LEGO parts."

Text="My 4 year old son loves to play with LEGO and we encourage him. We built a few sets together and he mostly builds stuff from his own imagination. He likes to build new sets with us and to follow the schematics, even if we don't have all the parts (we try to make changes as needed).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The problem is - we have gathered a big LEGO box of parts from about 7-8 sets and looking for a specific block is becoming more and more difficult. When we build sets together it's my job to find the parts and his job to follow the schematic. Needless to say, it may take me 5 minutes to track down a specific part and it takes us too long to build the set. Once a set is built he plays with it for a while (a couple of hours or days) and then comes back apart.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For now we try to keep the parts sorted by color, but for some colors (grey or blue) we have too many parts and we need to empty the bag on the floor to look for parts (and this gets messy).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I wanted to ask for advice on the following topics:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. What's the best way to sort LEGO blocks so that they are easier to find and in a way that they don't take too much space (e.g. I wouldn't want to have to sort them by shape - it's too many of them!)&#xD;&#xA;2. For some sets we don't know if we have all the parts (obviously because we don't have those exact sets). Is there an &quot;app&quot; that I can tell which sets we have and that can generate a part list from those so that I can look to see if I have the needed part? Or, better yet, tell the app what I want to build and it should tell me what parts I have (without keeping track of color - only shape) and what I'm missing? I'm thinking it's not an impossible app and something like this may exist, but I haven't found it yet.&#xD;&#xA;3. Now comes the &quot;sci-fi&quot; part. Can I find a phone app that can use the camera to &quot;scan&quot; a bunch of parts thrown on the floor and do image recognition of the part that I need in order to highlight it? Image recognition can do shape recognition, so, again, it should be possible to implement - I just haven't found any.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Any tips on handling Lego for better management is welcome.

Text="Maybe my question is not suitable for this forum, but I figure this is the place where people have the most experience, so, here goes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My 4 year old son loves to play with LEGO and we encourage him. We built a few sets together and he mostly builds stuff from his own imagination. He likes to build new sets with us and to follow the schematics, even if we don't have all the parts (we try to make changes as needed).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The problem is - we have gathered a big LEGO box of parts from about 7-8 sets and looking for a specific block is becoming more and more difficult. When we build sets together it's my job to find the parts and his job to follow the schematic. Needless to say, it may take me 5 minutes to track down a specific part and it takes us too long to build the set. Once a set is built he plays with it for a while (a couple of hours or days) and then comes back apart.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For now we try to keep the parts sorted by color, but for some colors (grey or blue) we have too many parts and we need to empty the bag on the floor to look for parts (and this gets messy).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I wanted to ask for advice on the following topics:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. What's the best way to sort LEGO blocks so that they are easier to find and in a way that they don't take too much space (e.g. I wouldn't want to have to sort them by shape - it's too many of them!)&#xD;&#xA;2. For some sets we don't know if we have all the parts (obviously because we don't have those exact sets). Is there an &quot;app&quot; that I can tell which sets we have and that can generate a part list from those so that I can look to see if I have the needed part? Or, better yet, tell the app what I want to build and it should tell me what parts I have (without keeping track of color - only shape) and what I'm missing? I'm thinking it's not an impossible app and something like this may exist, but I haven't found it yet.&#xD;&#xA;3. Now comes the &quot;sci-fi&quot; part. Can I find a phone app that can use the camera to &quot;scan&quot; a bunch of parts thrown on the floor and do image recognition of the part that I need in order to highlight it? Image recognition can do shape recognition, so, again, it should be possible to implement - I just haven't found any.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Any tips on handling LEGO for better management is welcome.&#xD;&#xA;Thanks!"

Text="**16 Bags**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I know the question was phrased as a sort of math problem, but most LEGO fans solve it as a sort of LEGO problem. The bags are opaque, so you cannot see what's in the bags, but almost everywhere they are sold you can feel the bags, and you can determine what figure is in the bag. With the exception of the recent Soccer Team figures, collectible minifigures are always unique in terms of what parts are in the bag. Just shake and squeeze the bag until the distinctive piece is found.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The problem with the math way: One can compute the probability of, say, picking two matching socks out of a drawer of miscellaneous socks, or of picking a whole collection of figures out of a box of figures. But there are a few complications:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Someone else has been there before you and squeezed the bags to find all the space marines.&#xD;&#xA; - Someone else has been there before you and grabbed a few at random, but then squeezed a few more bags to find the Princess.&#xD;&#xA; - The store takes what's left from the first box and jams it into the second box when the box runs low; or they don't even display them in the original box, making it impossible to know how many boxes are in play and how many figures have been picked.&#xD;&#xA; - There are usually 16 figures in a collection and 60 figures in a box; this means the figures cannot be evenly distributed. Some series have had as few as two of one figure in the box.

These conditions, like for any test, require the material to be identical in every way to the other materials except for the tested variable.&#xA;&#xA;But there is no piece that comes in every color!

However, the number of bridging bricks required can vary, depending on the piece. Some pieces, like a [1x1 Round Tile](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=98138#T=C), can be connected directly to it; however, others, like the [Technic Axle 32](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=50450#T=C), require additional pieces (in this case, the [Technic Brick 1 x 2 with Axle Hole](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=32064)) to bridge the gap.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The piece I can think of that requires the most of said bridging pieces to connect back to a 2x4 is the body of the [Bohrok Canister assembly](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?G=42718c01#T=C), which requires 4 pieces to reach the 2x4: the lid, the hanger clip, a [Bohrok ribcage](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=41665#T=C), and a [1x2 Brick With Pin](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=2458#T=C).

Text="The LEGO [2x4 brick](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3001#T=C) is somewhat of an icon of LEGO, and the majority of official LEGO bricks can connect back to it. However, the number of bridging bricks required can vary, depending on the piece. Some pieces, like a [1x1 Round Tile](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=98138#T=C), can be connected directly to it; however, others, like the [Technic Axle 32](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=50450#T=C), require additional pieces (in this case, the [Technic Brick 1 x 2 with Axle Hole](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=32064)) to bridge the gap.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The piece I can think of that requires the most of said bridging pieces to connect back to a 2x4 is the body of the [Bohrok Canister assembly](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?G=42718c01#T=C), which requires 4 pieces to reach the 2x4: the lid, the hanger clip, a [Bohrok ribcage](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=41665#T=C), and a [1x2 Brick With Pin](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=2458#T=C). My challenge is, can you do me one better? What piece takes the most bridging pieces to connect back to a standard 2x4, and what is the chain required for it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rules:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The piece must be official LEGO; no messing around with off-brand pieces with absurd new connection types.&#xD;&#xA; - All connections used must be legal; no strapping things together with rubber bands and calling it good (that would take all the fun out of it).&#xD;&#xA; - There must actually be a method of connecting the pieces together; pieces like the [ball](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=41250#T=C) used in [Scorpion Palace](http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=7418-1#T=S&amp;O={}) or any of the BIONICLE canisters without built-in studs are just cheating."

Are the 4 pieces (2 large beige oval for front of ship and 2 - 2x16 brown pieces) supposed to be loose in the box.

The first is a program called [&lt;strike&gt;Dolphin&lt;/strike&gt; Brickr][1]. It works very well, as you can see in this image of Yoshi:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Yoshi Lego Sculpture][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;strike&gt;The downside to this program is that it only runs on Macs,&lt;/strike&gt; This runs on both Windows and Macs now and the output format is a series of images, one for each layer. So you can't import it into MLCAD or your favorite Lego building software. I was looking for something that uses the [.ldr format][4].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another program is [LSculpt][5]. This worked okay but I couldn't seem to get great results.&#xD;&#xA;I'll been using a 3D model of [Nautilus][6] for my examples. Here is a picture of the LSculpt results:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Nautilus Lego Sculpture][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The **black** version was created from [**LSculpt**][8] and the **blue** version was creating using my **alternate method**. It is also worth mentioning there is another technique, a [3ds Max][9] script called [Legolizer][10]. Unfortunately, I don't have 3ds Max so that wasn't an option for me. I wanted to do this using only open source software on Windows. Here is how you do it:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Step 1 - Scale your 3D model ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You need to scale your model down by a factor of `.833`. I used MeshLab and the process that it described in the [Dolphin manual][11].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Step 2 - Convert a 3D model into a binvox file ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is done using a program called `binvox.exe`. You can read about it and find the download link on this [minecraft wiki][12]. All you need to do is to download `binvox.exe` and then copy your 3D model into that folder. Open command prompt, `cd` into that folder, and run a command that looks something like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    binvox nautilus.obj -d 128 -rotz -rotz&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;`nautilus.obj` is the name of my 3D model, `-d 128` specifies the size (128 x 128 x 128 voxels), and `-rotz` and `-rotx` will rotate the model. **You will have to experiment to get the right rotation, or your bricks won't face up at the end.** You might want to start with `-d 32` to speed up the process until you get the orientation right, which you won't find out until the end. The output from this is a file with the name `nautilus.binvox`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Step 3 - Install Cygwin (optional if you know what you're doing) ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would recommend installing [cygwin][13] for the following steps, since that is what I used, but you don't necessarily need it. You just need a way to run `c++` and `Perl` programs. When you install it you can select packages, make sure you install the package named `perl` and the package named `gcc-g++`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Step 4 - Convert the binvox file to a readable txt file using `read_binvox` ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Download [this][14] program called [read_binvox][15]. Make sure it is saved as `read_binvox.cc`. Then copy your `.binvox` file into the same folder. Open Cygwin and `cd` into that folder. Then run&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    g++ read_binvox.cc -o read_binvox&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;to compile the program. Next, you can run it with&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    read_binvox nautilus.binvox&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will create an output file called `voxels.txt`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Step 5 - Convert `voxels.txt` into your .ldr file ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I wrote a program in `Perl` that will convert the `voxels.txt` into a `.ldr` file. Create a new file named `binvox2ldr.pl` in the same directory as your `voxels.txt` file. File it with the contents from [this pastebin][16].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then go back to that directory in cygwin and run the command:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    perl voxels.txt &gt; nautilus.ldr&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This may take a while to run, depending on what size you made the sculpture. The program uses a very basic algorithm for combining bricks together. It may have floating bricks, so I wouldn't recommend just using the parts list from that and expecting a secure, perfect model. But I think it could be a good way to start a design for a sculpture. The script could definitely use some more improvements, but it's a basic start.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Step 6 - Editing and Render ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can use [these instructions][17] from [ldraw.org][18] installing some tools for editing and rendering the sculpture. I used MLCAD to change the color and then rendered it using POV-RAY. Here's what it looks like:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Nautilus Lego render][19]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://lgg.epfl.ch/publications/2013/lego/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/fZ6FD.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LDraw&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://code.google.com/p/lsculpt/&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://www.lolking.net/models/?champion=111&amp;skin=0&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/R9zTo.png&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://code.google.com/p/lsculpt/&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: http://www.autodesk.com/education/free-software/3ds-max&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/legolizer&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: http://lgg.epfl.ch/projects/Lego_data/software/Manual.pdf&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Programs_and_editors/Binvox&#xD;&#xA;  [13]: http://www.cygwin.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [14]: http://www.patrickmin.com/binvox/read_binvox.cc&#xD;&#xA;  [15]: http://www.patrickmin.com/binvox/binvox.html&#xD;&#xA;  [16]: http://pastebin.com/359iPB5M&#xD;&#xA;  [17]: http://www.ldraw.org/article/104.html&#xD;&#xA;  [18]: http://www.ldraw.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [19]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/4pfGE.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It is a fairly common treaded vehicle steering system.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The linked system with dual differentials, a drive motor, and a control motor, seems quite excessive to me.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, it come with some cost as the system move without feedback, it's unlikely that both motors will be driven at the exact same speed. Variations in the build (e.g. how tight bushings are) and the motors (torque curves) means that it'll generally drive in a (large) circle unless you actively correct for it. To make it move relatively straight, it involves a lot of fiddling with loosening / tightening parts, and even then one may often find that it no longer drives straight on a different surface.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With a dual-differential drive, there's generally enough friction that it will indeed drive &quot;exactly&quot; straight when the drive motor is on - and if it doesn't, one can just add a bit of friction (e.g. clamped bushings around a stud) to the control motor to make it drive straight."

Those holes do not work with studs, they are too large. Even the &quot;new&quot; 1x2 bricks with hole type 1 and 2 didn't accept studs (and the gap/slot at the top prevented it). That allows axle slop, but with the huge parts at that time this was not a problem, in fact it meant low-precision models worked just fine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In [1970 there was the &quot;Gear Supplementary Set&quot;][1] and [&quot;Gear Set with Motor&quot;][2] that had the first mention I can find of axles and gears.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that the set is labelled &quot;Universal Building Set&quot; and TLG appear to agree that &quot;Expert Builder&quot; appeared after that in 1977. In 1976 when the [695 &quot;race car&quot;][4] was released it used second variant red axle stops and [1x2 brick with hole type 2][5] but wasn't Expert Builder.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The 1x2 brick with hole makes it clear that putting a stud in the hole was not possible (this may be the reason for the slot?)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;AFAIK those bricks and axles are compatible with current Technic (they work IME but the dimensions might have changed a tiny amount and I wouldn't know)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then we can look at TLG's current view of their history and see this [from &quot;The beginning&quot; of Technic][7]&#xD;&#xA;&gt; In the early 1970s, Jan Ryaa was one of the very first LEGO designers to play with the idea of building cars, using large square LEGO Mobil bricks in yellow, red and blue with white cross-axles and cogwheels. These were used for showroom models and were not planned as production models, nor intended for sale. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I suspect he was using the production axles and bricks, but trying to make more mechanically accurate/challenging models and found the giant gears and 4x2 bricks a bit useless.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Brickset's history of Expert Builder][8] makes it clear that by the time that theme was launched the &quot;modern&quot; Technic brick was in production. All four models used those bricks, and the hole were as compatible with studs as they are today.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Again, I can't find an official statement from TLG on this, but I will guess that since Expert Builder used existing axles they just ran with that size, only tightening up the hole a little to make their tiny-toothed gears work properly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=802-1#T=S&amp;O=%7B%7D&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=800-1#T=S&amp;O=%7B%7D&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/E6Fes.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=695-1#T=S&amp;O=%7B%7D&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3700b&amp;idColor=11#T=C&amp;C=11&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/fV1lf.png&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: http://www.lego.com/en-us/technic/history-page/stories/the-beginning&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: http://brickset.com/article/11819/classic-lego-sets-expert-builder-technical-sets-part-1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

You can make one or two attachment points to ground by either utilizing [64276 Technic Beam 2 Liftarm with Straight Ball Joint](http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=64276#T=C) as in the picture below, or using [3651 Technic Axle and Pin Connector](http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3651&amp;name=Technic,%20Axle%20and%20Pin%20Connector&amp;category=%5BTechnic,%20Connector%5D#T=C) with a friction pin instead. For optimal reproduction of the original chair, you might want to use two of these supports in your model (my image only shows one).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then, tilt the chair lightly back on the ball joint or connector, and use [4274 Technic Pin 1/2](http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4274&amp;name=Technic,%20Pin%201/2&amp;category=%5BTechnic,%20Pin%5D#T=C) together with 1x4 and 1x3 tiles to create horizontal and vertical armrests just like on the chair in your picture. You could even combine the new 1x2 tile with rounded edge with a 1x2 or 1x1 tile, mounted on a 1x3 or 1x2 plate, to create a curved top and bottom edge.

It assigns 3 factors (K_p, K_i and K_d) to three calculated variables all based on the measured process, in this case the deviation from the ideal sensor value coming from the color sensor connected to port 3.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Those three calculated variables contain the proportional deviation (i.e. just the difference between the ideal value and the measured value), the integral of the error (sort of like the sum of all errors over time) and the derivate (the change in the error value over time). The final adjustment the motors need to do is calculated based on those three deviations (P, I and D) to get to a &quot;turn&quot; amount, which is then passed on to the motor to execute.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can read all about the PID control implemented here in the link in the left top corner of your diagram, which is this: http://inpharmix.com/jps/PID_Controller_For_Lego_Mindstorms_Robots.html. It actually explains the concept pretty well and is relatively easy to follow, as it is targeted towards FLL students (i.e. 9-14 year old kids).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The author of the article also explains why he uses the sensor in RAW mode:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Using raw light values (0 to 1023 scale), instead of uncalibrated&#xD;&#xA;&gt; light values, might increase the dynamic range of the light sensors.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; For our example light values black would be 400 and white 500. The&#xD;&#xA;&gt; offset would be 450 with a range of +/-50 instead of +/-5. The raw&#xD;&#xA;&gt; light values is available from a data port on the light sensor block.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If you calibrate your light sensor under your lighting conditions and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; use the calibrated values then white will be about 100 and black will&#xD;&#xA;&gt; be about 0. This is another way to increase the proportional range of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the light sensor. In both the raw and calibrated modes the light&#xD;&#xA;&gt; values probably are not accurate in the last digit but hopefully the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; values are somewhat more precise than using a light value range of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; just 10 or so.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In short: the range of values coming from the default light sensor is more coarse (0-100) than when using the sensor in raw mode (0-1023), so you get better control over the motor output as there are more light levels to play with.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

For example, if you are planning to build a Star Wars scene, narrow down what scene you would like to build, and see if LEGO has already done any sets from that setting. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;LEGO actually considers all their sets as &quot;seeds&quot; that will hopefully inspire LEGO fans to expand on further. So, you buy that Star Wars set that fits your idea, then you start to expand on it. LEGO designers probably already worked out some of the most iconic features of that setting, so all you need to do is expand on them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you have a good number of parts, but they are in a rainbow of colors, you can still work on the project you want, but focus on the shapes and techniques rather than the colors. Once you are happy with the design, you can swap out the wrong colored pieces with the correct ones by purchasing them on BrickLink or at LEGO's Pick-A-Brick section.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is sometimes difficult however to ignore a bunch of bright colors when all you want to build is a mostly gray space-station. So you can combine building with the bricks you have, and virtual building in LEGO Digital Designer. Once you are done, you can count exactly how many bricks you need to buy in which color.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In general I found that even if you are on a smaller budget or lacking space, it is a good idea to have a fairly large stack of bricks in one neutral color (grays, tans and white are the best in my experience), so you can model pretty much anything without being distracted by a rainbow of colors. This way you can work out the shape, size and design of pretty much anything, and then later switch out the pieces with the correct colors. This technique also significantly reduces the cost of projects, because you don't end up buying sets and pieces you don't want.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However if you are completely against shopping on BrickLink or at Pick-A-Brick, there are some sets that might work with your Star Wars project. I'm particularly thinking of the LEGO Minecraft sets because they contain large quantities of basic pieces in earth-tone colors (tans, browns, greens, grays, blues, white and black). They are pretty much the same as the LEGO Classic Brick Boxes that you purchased already, but with earthy tones. They are very useful for creating more realistic landscapes, buildings, etc. " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

They chose white because it is the classic color for architectural models, but it became the classic color because it blends nicely with almost everything.  Since it isn't a bright color it won't clash with whatever you're trying to do as long as it isn't Bat Man.  You have a lot of [tag:city] elements already which use white alot so this should fit nicely.&#xD;&#xA;* Use your bright bricks for structural elements.  Many LEGO sets include red and blue bricks that you never see when the model is completed.  Having these be a nice contrasting color makes their instruction books easier to follow, but it also helps you by using your available bricks more efficiently.&#xD;&#xA;* If you're trying to build things that go with your [tag:starwars] models check out the [new Death Star](https://shop.lego.com/en-US/Death-Star-75159).

Download the inventory for the set you are looking at.&#xD;&#xA; 2. Get the last 6 month average sale prices (Ctrl-A Ctrl-G) to help weeding out alternates (See step 3)&#xD;&#xA; 3. After removing CounterParts (marked as CP) and alternates (marked with identical numbers, e.g. 1 and 1, 2 and 2 etc., remove one of the two entries (typically remove the less common part i.e. the one with the higher selling price)), and optionally all the parts marked as &quot;Extra&quot;, set all parts to Status &quot;Exclude&quot;.&#xD;&#xA; 4. Then, go through your incomplete set inventory and for every part you have, set the entry in BrickStock back to &quot;Include&quot;.&#xD;&#xA; 5. When done, you have a list of &quot;Exclude&quot; items which are the pieces you still need. Alternatively you can change the logic and make the default &quot;Include&quot; and mark all the parts you have as &quot;Exclude&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can save Inventories to file, and have multiple set inventories open at the same time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://brickstock.patrickbrans.com/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The daily temperature range and extreme heat of summer can potentially damage the bricks. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Remove all batteries from Lego electronics before medium or long term storage. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Place all metal containing pieces and electronics in an airtight container (older metal axle wheels, etc) with a bag of desiccant. Desiccant is inexpensive and can be found at hardware or hobby shops, or online.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sticker sheets should be stored individually, in long term storage the adhesives could migrate or ooze. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Store paper instructions and stickers in polyethylene, polypropylene, or polyester bags or notebook sheet protectors. The box of bags or protectors should be clearly labeled &quot;archival safe&quot;. Other types of plastic bags contain softeners that can damage paper in long term storage. Archival notebook sheet protectors can be found at any major office supply. Archival bags can be found at art supply stores and online. Do not store these in attics, basements, or garages! Paper is highly sensitive to humidity and temperate fluctuations. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Store Lego rubber bands in a small polypropylene bag with each set, or separately. In long term storage they will probably deteriorate. (The rubber bands are easy to replace, but the rubber softeners they contain could damage bricks if they melt). Store older tires similarly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you have the original boxes the Lego sets came in, keep them dry and dust-free. The original boxes in good condition can enhance the value of the sets among collectors. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For more information on long term storage, a great conservation information site is the American Library of Congress at https://www.loc.gov/preservation/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A directly related question I have is if it is OK to store bricks attached together to save space, or if this will tend to cause the bricks to lose their grip and become loose after long term storage? I suspect it is better to store them loose, unattached, in case the ABS material has a 'material memory' property. " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The trouble seems to be part specific. For example, the Lego Bionicle Karda Nui set 8686 Lewa Nuva that contained four Technic Beam 5 with Two Ball Sockets in FabuLime (Lego part number 4539223) often cracked upon initial assembly or disassembly. Replacement parts obtained directly from Lego exhibited the same issue. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Because of the consistent high quality of Lego manufacturing, on the rare occasion that we find a bad part, we tend to blame ourselves for the part failure. Logically, if the trouble is exhibited across the entire set (example: brittle parts) then it is probably safe to assume environmental issues like exposure to sunlight or temperature extremes. However, if the problem is only exhibited in a single piece handled with proper care, it is reasonable to assume manufacturing issues. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In my experience, Lego warranty part replacement services will never admit to or discuss known issues with Lego sets or parts. It must be against company policy. However, much to their credit, they will replace any part they have in inventory, no questions asked. So, if you have an issue like this again, contact them immediately. The catch is 'parts they have in inventory'. For older sets they might not have your part, so you would have to use a service like BrickLink.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have thousands of Lego sets. Rarely, I have found a malformed or missing piece. The odd brittle piece problem seems to be confined to several 2008 sets. Maybe Lego was experimenting with new pigments, ABS formulations, or manufacturing processes that year?"

Go item by item in your BL parts list and check in how many sets the item is by clicking on the link for the item. If you want to know not only the uniqueness of an item but also the uniqueness of the item in a specific color, the color drop-down above the image is a great source of info. This will be labor intensive, but you can easily skip many parts as they are very common.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Download the inventory as an XML file and write a program which extracts the uniqueness information from Bricklink itself. Bricklink has [an API][1] which you can use to get information about a part. Especially interesting is the `superset` request, which is documented here: http://apidev.bricklink.com/redmine/projects/bricklink-api/wiki/CatalogMethod#Get-Supersets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think that if you are not planning to reuse this process, you're probably better off with option 1 where you eliminate the items you know for sure are not unique, and then go through the tens of items left that might be unique to verify uniqueness.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Good luck!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://apidev.bricklink.com/redmine/projects/bricklink-api/wiki" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This site is located at http://philohome.com/tech.htm.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The speed of the train is regulated using PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) on the inside two wires (C0 and C1) of the power functions connector. If you feel adventurous, you can cut a PF cable and put electronics in between (an Arduino perhaps) to give the train a constant speed (perhaps read the speed from a pot-meter, this is how the rechargeable battery box works).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For reference, I've done something similar in my RFID controlled train, see [my video on Flickr][1]. Just a word of warning, unless you know what you're doing you're probably spending a lot of time on this and just forking out $50 for the rechargeable battery (plus either $30 for LEGO's adapter or $10 for a generic adapter (assuming you can regulate the voltage and the polarity of the pin)) might be the easiest and most cost-effective option.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.flickr.com/photos/129210197@N05/16833882562/in/datetaken/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The bags are sorted by logical sections as they appear in the instruction manuals. So for example there will be several bags numbered as #1, several bags numbered as #2, etc. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The intention is that you open all the bags numbered as #1, build that section, then open the bags numbers as #2, etc. This makes building a lot easier, faster, error-free, and a lot less messy. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In very large sets each section usually takes about an hour to build, and the whole set can take 2-5 hours to put together. While some LEGO fans do building marathons and put together sets in one sitting, for most people stretching out the building experience to several days is less stressful and more practical. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, note that numbered bags usually allow several people to work simultaneously as, the numbered bags tend to represent chunks of the set that later get assembled. This makes the building process faster. So for example your son would be building the first floor of a structure, while you can work on the second floor.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another way people work together on large sets is for one person to be the sorter, and the other the assembler. In your case, this may mean that you find the parts for each step of the process, and maybe even build some of the small assemblies, then you hand them to your son who will attach them to the set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All in all I would say that numbered bags are your friends. The larger the set, the more you will appreciate their practicality. There are still old-school LEGO fans from the pre-sorted bags period, who build differently. They may dump all the pieces from all bags into one pile, or open all the bags and pre-sort pieces by type or color. But for most people, building the way LEGO suggest is the best way to tackle large sets.  " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If I need to stop, put the build away, then resume later, it's easy to do so.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think this minimal system is enough to make any kind of pre-sorting unneeded. Rarely has a kit overwhelmed the little boxes (the huge Ghostbusters HQ set did, but it's an outlier). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I also sort my lego before putting a set away. My collection is sorted into flat art-supply boxes, by colour and type. Pre-sorting to that degree takes quite a bit of time. I don't think that time is well-spent when building the set for the first time, even if the sorting wouldn't need to be as thorough for building as it is for storing."

Leave the bricks and/or parts in for a short while and a toothbrush can be used for brushing off all dirt. Allow the parts to dry thoroughly, that's my method and it works fine. Most of the possible odors will be gone as well. This method prevents damage that can occur in due course if the parts are washed in a dishwasher as the formula in dishwasher tablets or the like differs a lot from normal dishwashing liquids, dishwasher tablets contain far more aggressive ingredients than dishwasher liquids all have. As a side effect, dishwashing liquids leave a thin layer of anti static material, making the bricks easier to take apart and their appearence is fresh and shiny, almost like new.

The Futuron monorail was simply a tad too early and I &quot;missed out&quot; while it was still available, whereas I considered attempting to get the Unitron monorail, but ultimately did not like the set as it was designed - what's the purpose of that train (maybe that makes for a good separate question), transport its own cockpits? That seemed pointless, so I discarded the idea, hoping for the next monorail set ... that never came ..." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It is an interesting read: http://uploads.brickset.com/docs/clonebrands_v1.5.pdf&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Keep in mind that while clone brands may be cheaper at the beginning, they have minimal or no resale value, and thus can end up being more expensive than genuine LEGO. Because of LEGO's quality, reputation and popularity, you can always resell your collection once your kids outgrow them, and thus recoup the money you spent (as long as your kids kept them in reasonably good condition). Clones are hard to even give away, not to speak of selling.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another thing to consider is safety. LEGO puts tremendous care and effort into making sure that their products are safe. This is not the case with cheap imitators. Children often put toys in their mouths. You don't want to expose them to lead-based paints on printed items and leaching plastics.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Mega-Bloks and Kre-O should be safe as they are made by leading toy manufacturers with a long history. Their products are not the same quality as LEGO, so the resale value is not as good, but at least you know they won't poison your kids. It is best to stick with products with proven safety records rather than choosing toys just because they are cheap.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, you might consider the educational value of LEGO. It is not just a toy, but a system for building and learning. Math, science, coordination, engineering and creativity are all integral part of building with LEGO, and many schools and educational institutions use LEGO as part of their curriculum. So if you look at the whole package - quality, safety, and value - LEGO will still likely be your best option.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Based on your original post it appears that your children already have a good amount of LEGO, but they keep asking for more. I would suggest that you explore new activities with the LEGO they already have. LEGO provides many alternate building instructions, project suggestions, games, and lessons on their website, and there are also third-party websites, books and other materials to let your children explore the endless possibilities even a handful of LEGO bricks can provide.   &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

When a new seller (low or zero feedback) offers up an expensive set, the following might happen:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Buyers will be afraid to purchase from you as offering expensive sets for sale by low feedback buyers is associated with scams.&#xD;&#xA;2. You expose yourself to fraudulent buyers who are preying on new seller and try to pull a fast one (e.g. claiming something never arrived, or claiming something arrived damaged, or even returning something opened and replaced).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is not to say that those things will always happen, but low feedback raises warning flags.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, with proper research and careful shipping you can avoid all of this, and especially if you are competitively priced you might sell sooner rather than later. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Being perceived as a scammer, or being scammed yourself, is something that is unfortunately a regular phenomenon on any marketplace, be it Amazon, EBay, BrickLink or Craigslist.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So net, just be careful and do proper research on how to best cover yourself against potential scams.

You could buy small technic sets to get enough parts to build the moving parts and you your current collection, or buy a big set and just add power functions to it. The [Customized Pickup Truck][1] is a good starter set that has all the right moving parts, but pretty much any Technic truck/car contains steering and a drive chain that you can attach a motor to.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For steering I recommend the [servo motor][2]. As a kid I spent a lot of time making cars that would lock left or right but not flick back to exactly straight afterwards.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![88004 Servo Motor][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For propulsion you have a whole array of motor options, the biggest and strongest (but also the slowest) is the [XL motor][4].

I prefer there [one that takes AA][8]s because years from now AA battery will still be purchasable and may be even longer lasting, plus you can keep spares near by, as opposed to the [Lego rechargeable battery][9] which will wear out over time and not be available forever.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![8881 Battery Box][10]][10]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And finally a remote. The [speed remote][11] lets you control the speed of the motors, not just forward/backwards at a fixed speed. However you'll need some extra parts to make left/right steering make sense on there. The other option is  the basic [IR remote][12].

Duplo is your friend. If you have duplo, or have the opportunity to buy duplo for cheap, it can be extremely useful. You can use it to easily build up the insides of landscape areas, without making everything obscenely dense. This will help with budget and weight. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Build the base nice and strong. Make sure all of your baseplates are attached well to each other, and that you have a permanent building surface. My greatest recommendation would be to buy a sheet of plywood, and build on top of that. This way, if you ever need to move the model, you can pick it up in one piece. You can also make the model so that it splits in certain areas so that it is easy to move around. That is up to you, but make sure you are able to move things around and/or repair things easily.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. For scenery that you need to replicate, allocate an exact number of parts for each of those pieces of scenery, and simply alter how you build it each time. It will speed up the process of building as well as add variety to the model.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. Details come last. That being said, have an idea of what details you may want to incorporate as you are building some of the superstructures. This way, you can integrate things better in the future, and the model won't appear so haphazard.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5. Used pieces are an alternative method of coloration. Buying used pieces means that many of them will have slightly different tones of coloration as a result of age. When building in a large scale, this actually adds a really nice touch of realism to a model so that you have a much more diverse gradient of colors. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;6. Don't be afraid to use unorthodox building methods. When you're in a large scale, things can look very different since everything will be seen at once. When building, be sure to periodically take a step back from your work to see how a detail actually fits into the scene.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hopefully this will help get your project off the ground!

In fact, the first figures did not even have faces, or articulating limbs. They were very basic. Here is a photo showing the basic evolution of minifigures over the years. The first 'figures' were introduced in the mid-1900s.&#xD;&#xA;[![Evolution of the Minifigure][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Functionability: Adding ears to the head mold would greatly complicate things for Lego. Apart from the fact that ears would be likely to be broken off or get damaged, they would affect the compatability of heads. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All standard mold lego heads can fit just about every mold of hat and hair. However, if TLG started making heads with ears, they would have to redesign every single 'headgear' and 'hair' mold so that they would fit around/over the ears. As a result, for figures where ears are necessary, they are part of the headgear mold, not the head. You can see this in these two examples.&#xD;&#xA;[![Elf hat w/ ears][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;[![Hair w/ ears][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I hope that answers your son's question, and that you can simplify the reasons for him :) &#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/dUZdN.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/FLyvb.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/zjdIz.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Here is the cheapest example of [a seller in the US][1]who has one. I think it would be a better use of your time to fork over the 15 USD (plus a few dollars shipping) than to try and recreate the test track. Here is why:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;a. the test track is made of a durable cardboard which can withstand an ev3 unit driving over it. Normal paper will likely tear, especially since the test track is shiny and smoother than normal paper. It would be difficult for rubber tires or treats to turn on standard paper.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;b. You would have to find the correct size of paper, or worse, connect smaller papers to recreate the track. Of course, it wouldn't have to be perfect, but it does add an extra step. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;c. You would have to spend the time coloring. It doesn't sound that bad, but you would need to be very consistent with coloring sections so that the 'color' sensor doesn't have any problems reading the test track. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In short, I think it would be much easier for you to just buy the box rather than try to recreate it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;HOWEVER&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you do want to try to recreate it, BrickLink lists the box as having the dimensions 48 x 37.8 x 7.1 cm.

They are carefully sized to make sure young children won't be able to choke on them. The larger pieces also allow young children with less coordination to work with, and gradually improve their skills. Also, DUPLO and LEGO bricks are compatible in more than just they way they can stack on each other. For example, the holes inside DUPLO studs can accommodate certain regular LEGO pieces. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is a lot of science and research that go into making LEGO elements; they must be age-appropriate in both theme and difficulty, they must be safe for a particular age-range, and they much fit into the LEGO system by being compatible with other pieces. The brick size you are talking about would be too small for young children (and thus not safe), and too big for older kids and adults. If there is no target market, why would anyone make such bricks? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only scenario I could think of is perhaps an old brand from the 1950s-1970s, when LEGO type construction toys were just starting out and manufacturers were experimenting with different sizes and ratios. Once the leader emerged (LEGO), it made more sense for similar brands to align their products with LEGO, or differentiate themselves with a completely unique system (i.e. K'NEX, Lincoln Logs, etc.). What you are asking for is somewhere in between (still LEGO compatible but not quite), which would make little sense businesswise. " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Here is [where you can get it][1]. I think it would be a better use of your time to fork over the 15 USD (plus a few dollars shipping) than to try and recreate the test track. Here is why:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;a. the test track is made of a durable cardboard which can withstand an ev3 unit driving over it. Normal paper will likely tear, especially since the test track is shiny and smoother than normal paper. It would be difficult for rubber tires or treads to turn on standard paper.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;b. You would have to find the correct size of paper, or worse, connect smaller papers to recreate the track. Of course, it wouldn't have to be perfect, but it does add an extra step. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;c. You would have to spend the time coloring. It doesn't sound that bad, but you would need to be very consistent with coloring sections so that the 'color' sensor doesn't have any problems reading the test track. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In short, I think it would be much easier for you to just buy the box rather than try to recreate it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;HOWEVER&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you do want to try to recreate it, BrickLink lists the box as having the dimensions 48 x 37.8 x 7.1 cm. Since the box folds out, the surface area of the box will be the dimensions of the test track. (48 + 2(7.1)) x (37.8 + 2(7.1))= 62.2 cm x 52 cm.&#xD;&#xA; The rest would just be a matter of coloring it based on the images. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I hope that helps you out :)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?O=31313-1#T=S&amp;O={}" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I kicked the idea around for a while, and then came up with the concept of making a micro-con. Mariann Ansunuma, former miniland builder at Legoland, and current maker of awesome microscale Lego jewelry, liked the idea and took me under her wing. I built 2 tables, displays and minilanders to display at BrickCon 2012. I was very pleased when Mariann brought along a third table, displays, and minilanders to add to mine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After the initial Micro BrickCon MOC was displayed, Mariann, who travels to various cons with her vendor booth, took her portion of the MOC and introduced it to cons across America. It has since become a theme featured across N. America, Canada, Germany, and Australia. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In 2012, the MOC was just a MOC. However, micro BrickCon was so well received, in 2013 it became and remains it's own theme. In 2012 7 builders contributed one thing or another to make the MOC better.

Here are what the conducting rails for the 12V system look like:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![12V conducting rails][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some people still prefer the 12V system because it included more remote controlled components than the later 9V or RC/PF systems. With later systems, the only thing that is easily remote controlled is the train itself, whereas the 12V system included remote controlled points, light, and decouplers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Each era included straight track, curved track, switches, and cross track.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![blue points][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![blue cross track][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Gray Era (1980 - 1991)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These rails are generally the same as the blue rails aside from the new gray color.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![straight gray rails][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The sleepers were moved closer together (3 per section rather than 2), and they were changed to a specialized part to improve the strength of the connection. Here's what the sleepers look like:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![gray era sleepers][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The trains of this era were still either powered by 4.5V batteries or the 12V conducting rails.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# 9V Era (1991 - 2006)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The 9V era completely changed the track components, and did away with the old 4.5V and 12V voltages.

You may want the Ferris Wheel to rotate slower than the carousal for example. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/6370/132&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/2175/132&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=6538c#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=9244c01#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/hJSPe.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This restricted bloodflow and caused swelling. IIRC, an ER visit was necessary but there was no lasting damage. &#xA;&#xA;Another, a child removed a piece using their teeth, and accidentally bit through the element, which stuck to their teeth necessitating oral surgery. &#xA;&#xA;I know multiple children have had bricks stick to their teeth. Always teach your children to use a brick separator or an adult, and **never use their mouth or utensils (knives/forks) to pull pieces apart**. &#xA;&#xA;As for small parts, you should generally be safe if you follow the age guidelines. Sets with choking hazards are labeled as such. &#xA;&#xA;To my knowledge, there have been no reports of fatal incidents involving LEGO toys, nor invasive surgeries. &#xA;&#xA;DUPLO toys meet very high safety standards for younger children, if you're concerned. They're designed to withstand a great deal of force to prevent breakage (you could probably run them over and only get scratches), and are suited for infants and toddlers to generally handle safely. &#xA;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

However, it is difficult to weigh the smallest pieces accurately. (This is also why small bits tend to share one bag). If Lego tried to get the component count spot-on there is the danger that they would miss the very rare occasions when one of these small pieces was left out of a box. It would be bad for Lego if there were pieces missing - it would both damage their reputation and lead to expensive support calls. So rather than risk that they intentionally include more of the smallest pieces. That way, if the extra one is missing, nobody minds too much. At the same time, Lego knows that a couple of extra bits will make customers happy, especially as the small pieces are prone to getting lost.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, you're right to consider the extra pieces as a little bonus."

Unlike other CAD software, the simplifications that LDD makes in exchange for ease-of-use restrict some creations from being assembled with any degree of ease. However, the treads in this model are possible to apply, although I cannot say how easy it would be to get them the way you would want.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A quick search from more experienced LDDers on YouTube turns up that the process is very redundant and tedious. Each link must be adjusted individually, and when needed, certain gears must be turned to accept the chain. However, getting the initial link on the system requires a crafty Technic device used to mount a five-hole tread to a bar suspended just above the gear in question. From this five-hole link, the smaller links can be added, as shown in [this video.][1] &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I tried the process myself and while it is painfully difficult, the end result is achievable. Here is a photo with the Technic system in place, and another after I removed it and added the correct link.[![enter image description here][2]][2] [![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, I had to try this in real life where dexterity is on my side. I ran up the exact construction as I see it in your provided picture and have determined that the perimeter of this design falls just over an even multiple of links. Twenty-five links are just barely too short to connect at the ends, and twenty six is much too baggy to stay seated on the gear teeth. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For another example of adding treads in LDD, you may also want to see [this time-lapse video.][4] Hope this helps and happy building.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKsm3BNVIf0&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/0kwXc.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/tCwa8.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEr1diEOY54&amp;t=8s" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I've never asked a storm trooper, but let's assume he is 6 feet tall, or 72 inches. According to Brickset's information, 75114 is [&quot;over 9 inches tall&quot;][1] That makes the scale for the figure about 1:8. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now bringing in the Lego Porsche 911 GTR, we find from its description that it is [&quot;22 inches long&quot;][2] The actual car's specs put its total length at [178.94 inches][3], which I have rounded to 179. So the car's scale is 1:8.14, which would mean that it is &quot;to scale.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now I don't have either set, so perhaps another user can provide photos of whether this figure actually fits in the car. I suspect it would not, which doesn't upset the reality of this situation. I'm not sure that John Boyega would fit in a $175,000 car in full storm trooper attire.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the scale still bothers you, we might work with this actor's height at 5' 9&quot; or 69 inches. That makes the scale for 75114 1:7.7 This would definitely make the scale believable enough if all you wanted a photo of the figure leaning up on the technic model. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Additional info: 42021 and 42022 are not to scale; 42029 is close; 8070 is also worth looking into....&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That gets you back to 2011.

But you knew this already.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I realize it isn't considered standard by the rest of the world, but because the only quality calipers I had access to tonight are customary, all these values will be in inches.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;An average of several measurements gives me the following values for the dimensions of several key parts:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. average height of a [1x2 - 2x2 bracket][1]............... 0.7221&#xD;&#xA; 2. average height of a [1x2 - 2x2 inverted bracket][2]...... 0.7278&#xD;&#xA; 3. average height of a [1x2 - 1x2 bracket][3]............... 0.4079&#xD;&#xA; 4. average height of a [1x2 - 1x2 inverted bracket][4]...... 0.4131&#xD;&#xA; 5. average exterior width of a 2x2 tile................ 0.7239&#xD;&#xA; 6. average interior width of a 2x2 tile................ 0.6028&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, we all know that item 1 and 2 will fit flush onto a brick evenly if a plate is added to the other side.&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][5]][5][![enter image description here][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We also know that in practice, if you put 3 on a brick and 4 directly under that same position, the SNOT faces will adjoin where plates may be legally connected.&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][7]][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But here's the catch: adding the heights of 3 and 4 does not get 1. That sum does not even get 2.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**It has to do with where the gap is**. On items 1 and 2, the gap is *under* and *above* the SNOT part of these elements respectively. But the combination of 3 and 4 leaves the gap ***between*** those two plates. You can see this easily by attaching 4 to a brick and then laying a plate behind. You can see that the corner is square and there is no clearance like we see from hanging 1 off the side of a brick-and-plate. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This clearance, by my measurements, is 0.07 inches. This is the height of 4 that is placed at the corner (that leaves a gap between it and 3) This corner is what makes this technique fail. This corner also explains the reason that 3 and 4 are different heights although they suit similar purposes. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, this explains why you can affix two 3 elements to the underside of a tile. Twice the sum of the height of the 3 is still less than the interior measure of the tile once [horizontal tolerance][8] is accounted for.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As a closing solution, I recommend using two 3s attached to a tile as that works in reality. But just to prove how complicated this measurement really is, LDD still thinks that your original problem is a legal connection. &#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][9]][9]&#xD;&#xA;Hope this helps.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=44728#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=99207#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=99781#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=99780#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/WObNf.png&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/0rAWA.png&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/hO5AM.png&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: http://www.robertcailliau.eu/Lego/Dimensions/zMeasurements-en.xhtml&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/okSYC.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

That being said, the answer to your question must lie at least in part to the European market for CMFs and not in the inherent price of each mystery bag. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What I mean is the price of a CMF in the U.S. has remained at a steady $3.00 since Series 3. While distributions within boxed sets have appropriated the inherent value of the figures above or below that price, a lucky person could still theoretically get whatever figure they wanted for the standard price (if they are as crazy as I am and feel up all the bags in the Lego aisle.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now please correct me if I am wrong on this, but I believe the value of the [Euro has depreciated][1] in the past several years. Certain principles of microeconomics may maintain local purchasing power even through this drop, giving the illusion that funds go just as far. Increases in the amount of paper that goes in a wallet at the end of each pay period may even make it seem -- on a local level -- that a person is actually making more than they used to, when the extra amount is due to adjustments in inflation. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now the value of a CMF as stated before has not changed, but perhaps the numerical price associated with that purchase may adjust for inflation. Could this be the reason it appears that the theme has grown more costly over time? If not, please tell me I'm just a nosy American who shouldn't be commenting on European economics. You won't hurt my feelings.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Bonus content: here are the apparent values of minifigures thanks to uneven box distributions, as well as a link to a very useful [forum topic.][2] &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hope this helps!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.thebalance.com/what-is-the-euro-to-dollar-conversion-its-history-3306091&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://bricksetforum.com/discussion/13000/interesting-facts-about-collectible-minifigures-cmfs&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/yNBv3.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It requires knowledge in statistics and profficiency in computer science.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's easier to only make the localization part on prebuilt map but this still needs a good sensor (like [LIDAR](http://www.ev3dev.org/docs/tutorials/using-xv11-lidar/)) combined with odometry and delgating computations to PC (so some network communication). Even in this setting it is big and demanding project.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---------------------------------------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Line Following and Wall Following that you and David mentioned are reasonable working methods.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Assuming you are going to break up your collection but not sort it into sets, you will likely get more money for your collection if you sell it in smaller lots sorted by color. You can get a sense for what different colors are worth per pound by searching completed listings on eBay. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, I don't believe that the answer you cited is correct in most cases (including yours). The first item listed on the [most popular answer][1] is:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 1. Sell the collection as-is (with as much honest description as you can muster and great photos if you're selling on-line).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You don't just have random bricks. Since it sounds like you have many complete or nearly complete sets, you'd be losing that value if you break everything up an sell it in 2 pound lots.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Assuming that you collection is well kept, and you don't want to do the work to sort it, I'd recommend selling it as one large lot. List the sets that you have instructions for and indicate that you believe that they are 99% complete (e.g. you aren't aware of any missing pieces or minifigs, but some have probably wandered off over the years). There are definitely people out there that buy large lots like this and separate out and sell sets for a profit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You'll want to take plenty of pictures. I'd spread things out and take as many detailed shots of the parts as you can. Experienced buyers will be able to tell pretty quickly how complete your collection is. Given that minifigs have much more value than regular parts, I'd also recommend taking photos of them in a way that allows them to all be identified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/1162/708" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

At a bare minimum any bulk lot needs at least a simple&#xD;&#xA;&gt; hose down and a quick sort to remove as many non LEGO as possible. A&#xD;&#xA;&gt; bulk lot treated in that manner would bring, on average, $5.00 per&#xD;&#xA;&gt; pound on eBay. To make any real money you need to spend the time to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; sort. Bricks sorted by color usually bring around $10.00 per pound.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; This assumes that you removed all minifigs and minifig parts. The real&#xD;&#xA;&gt; money in bulk is made by bringing sets back from the dead. The last&#xD;&#xA;&gt; loose 3181 I sold went for $46.00, had I sold it by weight I could&#xD;&#xA;&gt; have expected about $7.50. It took about 3 hours of work to sort/find&#xD;&#xA;&gt; all the pieces, but the extra return made up for it..&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://community.brickpicker.com/blog/community-lego-blogs/buying-lego-in-bulk-filthy-dirty-secret-side-lego-investing/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

There may still be remnants of that English heritage buried deep in the LEGO legacy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, when LEGO started, I'm not sure what their measurements or tolerance were at the time, but they probably weren't as strict as they are now, which may account for some oddities in the system.

Make sure the NXT brick is unplugged from the computer and take the battery or batteries out.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 2. On the fourth battery holder down from the top, there is a black rubber button.  Using a paper clip, please press down and hold this&#xD;&#xA;&gt; black rubber button for at least 20 seconds.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 3. Put the batteries back in and then press the orange button.  If the brick makes a clicking noise, this is a good thing.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 4. There is a silver button on the top right connector peg hole on the back (there are 6 on the top and 6 on the bottom).  Using the paper&#xD;&#xA;&gt; clip, please hold this silver button down for at least 20 seconds.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 5. If the brick is clicking, please plug it into the computer and open up the NXT software.  Go to 'Tools' then choose 'Update NXT Firmware,'&#xD;&#xA;&gt; then proceed the update the NXT firmware.   If you get the error&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &quot;Cannot Locate,&quot; then please go through the following steps:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 1. With the brick plugged in and clicking, go to your computers device manager.  To do so you can search your computer and type in device&#xD;&#xA;&gt; manager and hit enter.  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 2. In the device manager, find the 'Ports (Com &amp; LPT) and click to expand this.  You should see something that says 'Bossa' which you&#xD;&#xA;&gt; will right click and choose 'Update Driver Software.'&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 3. In the next window, choose 'Browse my computer for driver software.'&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 4. In the following window, choose 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.'&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 5. Choose the options that says 'NXT' or 'LEGO NXT' (one of the options will say something along those lines) and click 'Next.&quot;  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; 6. Once the update is complete, please open the NXT software and try running the firmware update again.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **Please note that the NXT brick needs to be clicking the entire time as there is a timeout function on the NXT brick which turns the brick&#xD;&#xA;&gt; off after a certain amount of time.

I've worked with Java ([LeJOS][1]) and C# ([MonoBrick][2]) in combination with the LEGO Mindstorms Education EV3. But there are more bindings for the EV3. If I recall correctly at least for Python, C, C++ and some more educational friendly languages. The information you need to write your own language/compiler for the EV3 platform are available on the LEGO Mindstorms website. I'm currently developing my own language, compiler and IDE for my master thesis.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The more general question you must answer yourself is: What's the goal you want to achieve? Do you want to learn how to program or do you have already knowledge in one or more languages? If you want to learn how to program you should IMHO use a more beginner friendly language like the EV3-G (the graphical language you mentioned). If you already have some knowledge you can start with a text-based language.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The second question is: Do you want to use/learn a graphical language or a text-based one? There are graphical alternatives to EV3-G like the [Open Roberta Project][3]. It uses a Scratch like language (based on the same JavaScript library).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hopefully I could give you some hints because the topic is more complex than many think in first place.

It looks like you have things set up correctly as far as I can tell.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first step is to identify which part is having issues. All of these parts can be purchased on Bricklink, so once you know what has failed, you can replace the defective part.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are some ideas for testing components:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* If you have a 9V light brick or similar, you can attach it directly to the speed regulator to see if that is delivering power.&#xD;&#xA;* It's fairly easy to test if power is getting to the track if you have a volt meter handy. You can simply measure the voltage between the tracks when you have the regulator turned all the way up. If this reads around 9 volts, then everything is working except the train motor.&#xD;&#xA;* You can test the motor by connecting one pole of a 9V battery to one side of the wheels and one side of the battery to the other. You'll need to use a paper clip or something to bridge the gap. If the motor spins, you know that it isn't the issue.&#xD;&#xA;* You can also directly power the track using a 9V battery. You just need one pole on one rail and one on the other. You can make the connection using a small wire, paper clip, or whatever you have handy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If any of that doesn't make sense, let me know and I can add more detail and/or pictures.

Here are a couple of suggestions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;a. Find a review of this set online, ideally one with pictures which shows all the bags included in the set. This will allow you to verify which bags have been opened (you already know which ones are still sealed).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;b. Then, [download the instructions for 10030 from LEGO][1].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;c. Here comes the tricky part. Find out which steps contain parts from your opened bags, and check if you have all of them. If this is somehow impossible, you have two alternative options:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Open all the bags, build the 10030 and see which pieces are missing, then order those from [Bricklink.com](http://www.bricklink.com) and complete your set. List the set as Used, Like New, Built once to validate completeness and you should be able to get a price relatively close to the New price.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Sell the set as Used, 90% Sealed bags, possibly some missing pieces. Depending on how complete it actually is (you won't know) you might get some good offers, especially if box and stickers and such are still present.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To sell LEGO on EBay, you don't need any special priviliges. Just create a listing and sell. However, if you have never used or sold on EBay before, and you have zero or low feedback (&lt;50), starting off with listing a high-value item like UCS 10030 is bound to set off scam-warnings in many of your potential buyers. You'd need to sell other items first before putting this one up for sale. Of course you can always try to sell it via Craigslist, OfferUp, LetGo and other garage-sale apps, but you'll likely get less money for your set (even taking into account that EBay/Paypal will take 12-13% of the sell price and CL/OfferUp etc. take nothing).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Good luck!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://cache.lego.com/bigdownloads/buildinginstructions/4187320.pdf" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It's certainly possible to create a mechanism much smaller than the one shown as well as one with fewer pieces.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In theory a single piece would not be possible, the mechanism consists of a minimum of two pieces for it to be possible: a rotating drive and a sliding yoke (as well as several additional pieces to keep everything in place).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rotational Drive&#xD;&#xA;----------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are many ways to create a rotation drive, they all consist of an axle (of any length) and can use pulleys/gears, and liftarms cranks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**1 + 2** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For the first two examples I've used a [Technic, Pin with Friction Ridges Lengthwise and Towball (6628)][2] but you can just as easily use a standard pin [(2780)][3] as it's much more common.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**2** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A similar setup to **1** but with two  [Technic Cam (6575)][4] pieces.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**3** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The third example with two pieces is probably the simplest and most compact, it uses the [Technic, Liftarm 1 x 3 with 2 Axle Holes and Pin / Crank&#xD;&#xA;(33299)][5]. This setup is limited to movement between five studs (up/down, left/right).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sliding Yoke&#xD;&#xA;------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are two examples I've made of a sliding yoke. They are identical apart from the beams used. The first one can move five studs and the second can move three studs (possibly the smallest combination). You can of course use any length of beam to create larger yokes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The beams are connected with a Technic, [Pin 3L with Friction Ridges Lengthwise (6558)][7] and a [Technic, Pin Connector Round 1L (18654)][8] or you can replace both pieces with a [Technic, Pin 3L with Friction Ridges Lengthwise and Center Pin Hole (87082)][9]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are twelve pieces in both builds. You can reduce this to 10 if you remove the black standard pin, red connector and black axle with a Technix Axle with a stopper such as [this piece][10] and a [Technic bush (3713)][11].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This build can be reduced to 8 pieces if you make the substitutions shown above.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/tkztW.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&amp;catString=139&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=2780#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=6575#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=33299&amp;idColor=11#T=C&amp;C=11&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Q66Eh.png&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=6558#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=18654&amp;name=Technic,%20Pin%20Connector%20Round%201L&amp;category=%5BTechnic,%20Connector%5D#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: http://87082&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=24316#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3713&amp;idColor=9#T=C&amp;C=9" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Adjusting the rotation of the motor by hand, you can input very precise numbers quickly. To rotate the motor easily, attach any Technic wheel/gear to the motor using an axle.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Programming a Basic Dial Input&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Create a *unlimited loop block*, this will ensure the current rotation value is always updated. Place a *rotation sensor block*, set to measure in degrees. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The rotation sensor is very sensitive, it's almost too sensitive because it makes it very difficult to select a number without jumping to another.

(10 being the most sensitive).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The divided numbers are now non-integers, we don't want to be able to take out a fraction of a dollar/pound or whatever currency you are using. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Use the *round block* to round the divided numbers up to a whole number. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Optional:** Add a currency prefix. You can use the text block to add a currency prefix, in this case I used the $ sign. EV3 only excepts the $ currency in text inputs.

The best way to power your lights is by connecting the 9V battery to the C1 and C2 lines (doesn't matter in which order you connect them to the + and - of your battery), and just to be safe you can also connect the + to the 9V and the - to the GND line, but that is optional."

The plane itself uses a 3-channel control scheme (power, pitch, yaw) controlled by traditional RC hobby-quality servos, receiver, battery, ESC, brushless motor, and propellor.  The dimensions of the aircraft appear to be roughly one meter wingspan by one meter fuselage length.  The wings and control surfaces, being constructed of baseplates, are not true airfoils, and instead generate lift and pitch/yawing moments by airflow deflection, aided by the ample thrust of the powerful motor and large propellor. The plane appears to be very difficult to control and prone to stalls, spins, and fluttering, but it does fly, if only for a couple minutes." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Accuracy. They gyro only reads in increments of 1 degree and it's also not terribly accurate (repeatable). &#xD;&#xA; 3. &quot;Offset&quot;. As your gyro algorithm does it's processing, the steering correction will restore the heading, but you may no longer be on the same linear path. Let's say your robot has a left bias. As it turns off course to the left and the gyro algorithm corrects back to the right, you may be back on the correct heading, but your path is now slightly to the left of where you started. You will zig-zag like this all the way there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you can deal with those issues, your algorithm idea is solid. But you may find that Move Steer and Move Tank are more accurate. It really depends on the situation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have written blocks that use the gyro to set the heading for movement, but not for in-place turns. In-place turns are made very difficult by the lag issue unless you are willing to do all your turns at the same speed and use a simple offset value to compensate (i.e., stop motors at 86 degrees, usually comes to rest at 90). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With my &quot;Move Gyro&quot; block, I don't even need to execute an explicit turn motion, I can say &quot;move 10  inches at heading of 0 degrees, then 10 inches at heading 90 degrees, the gyro algorithm makes the turn automatically (and rather quickly) as it moves forward. It will be close, but the result will not be exactly 10 inches in both directions.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As your gyro algorithm does it's processing, the steering correction will restore the heading, but you may no longer be on the same linear path. Let's say your robot has a left bias. As it turns off course to the left and the gyro algorithm corrects back to the right, you may be back on the correct heading, but your path is now slightly to the left of where you started. You will zig-zag like this all the way there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you can deal with those issues, your algorithm idea is solid. But you may find that Move Steer and Move Tank are more accurate. It really depends on the situation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have written blocks that use the gyro to set the heading for movement, but not for in-place turns. In-place turns are made very difficult by the lag issue unless you are willing to do all your turns at the same speed and use a simple offset value to compensate (i.e., stop motors at 86 degrees, usually comes to rest at 90). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With my &quot;Move Gyro&quot; block, I don't even need to execute an explicit turn motion, I can say &quot;move 10  inches at heading of 0 degrees, then 10 inches at heading 90 degrees, the gyro algorithm makes the turn automatically (and rather quickly) as it moves forward. It will be close, but the result will not be exactly 10 inches in both directions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After re-reading your question, I may be a little off the mark, or just not clear on what you are asking. Your use of Move-Steer or Move-Tank depends on what you are trying to do. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To turn without driving forward, you could use either Move-Tank or Move-Steer until you reach your desired gyro angle. Move-Tank should pivot mostly in-place around the midpoint between the drive wheels. A Move-Steer turn without driving forward would require maximum turning input which should keep one wheel un-powered. This is called a pivot turn and is probably better executed by operating the 2 motors independently. Turn one motor off and apply the brake, then power the other motor until your desired turn is made. You can probably do this just as accurately without the gyro. In a pivot turn, one wheel moves along an arc. The length of this arc for a given turn angle can be calculated based on the distance between your drive wheels (wheel track) and the circumference of your wheels. Thus, lock one motor, drive the other motor the necessary distance to travel along the arc. If you aren't into geometry, post a new question for the math on that. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To drive forward along a gyro heading, your algorithm idea is a good one, except for my point in item 3 above. But if your robot tracks well, that offset should be minor. " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This is why the LEGO Group is very active around the world in making sure that its trademarks are not misused.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&quot;**Proper Use of the LEGO Trademark on a Web Site**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the LEGO trademark is used at all, it should always be used as an adjective, not as a noun. For example, say &quot;MODELS BUILT OF LEGO BRICKS&quot;. Never say &quot;MODELS BUILT OF LEGOs&quot;. Also, the trademark should appear in the same typeface as the surrounding text and should not be isolated or set apart from the surrounding text. In other words, the trademarks should not be emphasized or highlighted. Finally, the LEGO trademark should always appear with a ® symbol each time it is used.&quot;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I'm most of the way there, but have a few specific issues.  He has a 21 month old brother, so I can't use regular legos (or I think this would be easier).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have the cab from [this set](http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Number-Train-10558):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;img src=&quot;https://dorkymum.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/lego-duplo-number-train.jpg&quot;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I plan to attach it to the bottom of a regular wheel base (like the wheel base from the same set), which creates the gondola - all good so far.  However, I haven't figured out how to recreate the track/wires/etc. without some permanent modifications. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have a pretty large supply of Duplos to work with (including the large powered train set), and I live in an area with a large Lego Store and a Legoland, so I probably have access to anything that is produced and sold in the US, and I don't mind buying odd sets - I just haven't found something that seems like it would work.  I have plenty of duplos to build a little mountain with, and the little guy has sufficient imagination that he won't require a specific color scheme or a skier minifig (which I also haven't found).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have considered using track, but I don't think I quite have the space for that (as it would take up a lot more) - and would rather do something that appears more like string/wires, as he's very aware of how that works and is very bright and detail oriented.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Specifically size-wise, I plan to build a mountain around 10-20 dots square, and about 8-12 bricks high (this depends in part on how many bricks I decide to use, and on how high it needs to be to make the gondolas work).  I would put the gondola 'base' a bit away from the mountain, and the gondola end point near the top of the mountain.  Sort of like how Playmobil did theirs:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;img src=&quot;https://playmobil.scene7.com/is/image/Playmobil/5426_product_detail?$pdp_image$&amp;locale=en_US&quot;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;except with a nice large Duplo mountain and a less complex base (I probably would just do a 8x4 platform or whatever size was necessary to manage the setup.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In particular, I'm looking for suggestions for how to manage the hanging aspect.  Since it's on a wheel base, I can put that wheel base on top of strings or wires or something else, but I don't know how to do that within the Duplo setup; I can make large knots or something through small openings in various piece combinations, and use regular string, but I'm not sure I could do that in such a way that the wheels would stay on (These are regular wheel base wheels, so they don't have anything that would help them stay on the wire/string)."

If you are not restricted by &quot;current LEGO&quot;, I know of two more options:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. You might want to look at [Nanoblocks](http://www.ohioart.com/brands/nanoblock) which, while still a children's toy, has smaller bricks and a different color pallette. I don't know much about the quality of Nanoblocks - the plastic does seem cheaper than LEGO's.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 2. Another option is to look at [Modulex](http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/Modulex), but you cannot find new sets as this line of LEGO bricks was only produced briefly from 1963 to 1965**. It was designed for adults (more specifically: for architects) as a system to build models of existing and planned buildings. Bricks are smaller, and have a different geometry (1:1 vs 5:6 for LEGO). Buying Modulex is expensive due to the limited production run and the fact that the last Modulex was produced 50 years ago. Bricklink does have [Modulex items available](http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?q=Modulex) for sale though, so you might find this something worth investigating further.

(Step 18, if you are following the instructions.)  One socket connects to the rack (a toothed plate with a ball on both ends; this happens in Step 8), the other to a ball on a part that forms the wheel mount.  The catch is that the connecting bar has little flanges in the sockets that (a) make it so the ball won't immediately pop out the other side, but crucially here, (b) make it so the both balls must be inserted from the *same* side.

Accessories are different from a minifig's hat, persay, because we do not see a character bald in universe, so the hat is a necessity for their character, but a weapon or accessory does not have that same necessity. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In addition to this, proneness to discrepancies in listings from seller to seller would be much higher when accessories are involved. This is especially true if a figure comes in more than one set, but has different accessories in each set. By keeping accessories and minifigures separate, there will be fewer catalog entries in the database. The goal is always to keep the database as simplistic and easy to use as possible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I hope that sheds some light on why BL does not list its figures with their accessories (nor does any other third-party-lego-selling website).

The US company Tyco were the first with ‘Super Blocks’ in 1984, after LEGO’s brick patent expired in 1983. Almost every attempt at cloning has been inferior, mainly due to production costs being lower resulting in inferior grade materials and poor fitting pieces. Set design has generally varied from mediocre to rubbish. However, the recently invigorated factories of China have begun to churn out various LEGO clones. It’s worth noting that the potential Chinese domestic market is far, far larger than that of Europe and America combined. There are many Chinese companies making LEGO copies, with new ones starting up at an astounding rate. Minifig copying seems to be endemic, taking advantage of enormous demand for collectable box sets that LEGO cannot do due to contractual reasons. A brief trawl of the AliExpress export website finds a list of 50 companies making plastic building blocks, with probably at least half doing LEGO clones. Most if not all are based in Chenghai, the toy capital of China. Some companies appear to source their products from each other and subcontract, so working out exactly who makes which branded kits is not always straightforward. Many are of random quality and there is a lot of chaff and little wheat. The following is an incomplete list of some of the more actively promoted brands. By the time you read this, there will probably be more. It is interesting to note that many Far East websites list the keyword ‘Enlighten’ above ‘LEGO’.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Net: Some knock-off brands are getting really good and compare in quality with LEGO. Some are absolutely horrific. Some are complete cloners (and will likely disappear soon when the LEGO lawyers swoop in), some have found a niche that LEGO doesn't cover and will likely stay around.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

They only contain information on how to assemble the parts. The actual part data is stored in binary files inside the various LIF files.&#xA;- LDraw files are similarly structured like the LXF files.&#xA;&#xA;So getting 3D mesh data out of LDD is tricky to say the least. I know of two techniques:&#xA;&#xA;1. There is some software which will attempt to capture 3D mesh from memory. Caveats:&#xA;  - LDD optimizes the drawing by removing the faces of parts that are not visible.&#xA;  - This means the mesh you get out may be missing some things you might expect.&#xA;&#xA;2. Convert to LDraw, and open in an LDraw compatible program that can export 3D meshes. This is probably your better option, but it also has some caveats:&#xA;  - If you are using a piece that your LDraw program does not have in the library, it will be missing.&#xA;  - If LDD does not know how to map a part to LDraw, it could also be missing.&#xA;&#xA;I know some people have done some research  into directly converting LDD models directly into 3D mesh, by reverse engineering the file formats. I don't know of any complete tools that actually do this though.&#xA;&#xA;Now for the next issue, once you have your 3D mesh into another program, is it good for printing? Even without knowing specifics, I doubt it. Modeling for 3D printing is a lot different from modeling from LEGO bricks. You would likely have to do a lot of work making the model printable. It would probably be quicker to make the model from scratch in the 3D modeling program directly.&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Yet, while I have seen my share of car racing scenes on TV, and plenty of racing cars in museums of technology, I do not think I have ever encountered a &quot;dragster&quot; in real life. Therefore, my *perception* is that in the real world, dragsters must be an extremely exotic kind of vehicle.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Is there any known reason for why dragsters seem to be so overrepresented in Lego's town sets compared to other elements of the real world?** (Or is it indeed my perception that is skewed, because dragster are indeed common sights a part of this planet's car racing subculture, and Lego is simply replicating that part of the world?)"

They only contain information on how to assemble the parts. The actual part data is stored in binary files inside the various LIF files.&#xD;&#xA;- LDraw files are similarly structured like the LXF files.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So getting 3D mesh data out of LDD is tricky to say the least. I know of two techniques:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. There is some software which will attempt to capture 3D mesh from memory. Caveats:&#xD;&#xA;  - LDD optimizes the drawing by removing the faces of parts that are not visible.&#xD;&#xA;  - This means the mesh you get out may be missing some things you might expect.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Convert to LDraw, and open in an LDraw compatible program that can export 3D meshes. This is probably your better option, but it also has some caveats:&#xD;&#xA;  - If you are using a piece that your LDraw program does not have in the library, it will be missing.&#xD;&#xA;  - If LDD does not know how to map a part to LDraw, it could also be missing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I know some people have done some research  into directly converting LDD models directly into 3D mesh, by reverse engineering the file formats. I don't know of any complete tools that actually do this though.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now for the next issue, once you have your 3D mesh into another program, is it good for printing? Even without knowing specifics, I doubt it. Modelling for 3D printing is a lot different from modelling from LEGO bricks. You would likely have to do a lot of work making the model printable. It would probably be quicker to make the model from scratch in the 3D modelling program directly.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I would expect what you have described to work, but it is possible that your design is overloading the over current protection in the battery box.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;PF battery boxes are designed to provide 800mA. Any more than this, and they have protection built in to cut power and prevent damage.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;LEGO indicated that the XL motors draw 300mA under normal conditions, and [Philo][1] has the stalled current listed at 1800mA. A single stalled XL motor can overload the battery box, and two of them working hard can easily as well. See [this answer][2] for more information.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As a quick check, if you disconnect the motors from your car so that they can just run free, are they able to both run as expected? This should work fine and draw only 160mA if everything is connected and working properly. If not, one of your components must be performing abnormally or not be connected properly. As others have said, a photo would help us diagnose connection or build issues.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.philohome.com/motors/motorcomp.htm&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/2127/708" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Some people have speculated the hardware was again silently upgraded, and the hardware on new ones is the newer hardware, without the V2 label. On the other hand, I know someone contacted LEGO customer service about it, but got an unconvincing response that the one they sell by itself is not the same as the V2 (unconvincing, because they didn't seem to know anything about it at first, and were possibly using the same internet resources we have available).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So my question is:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Is the V2 hardware widely available in new products?

Basically, when you provide power over the rails, you also include a data signal riding on top of it. Each locomotive or car with a remote controlled function needs an electrical connection to the track and a modest microprocessor to decode DCC instructions. You can do something similar with LEGO trains, but it requires some customization.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For example, here's a modification that I made to one of my 9V motors to include a small microprocessor that controls the wheels instead of driving them directly:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![9V motor mod][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This solution requires that you are using either 9V or 12V powered rails, and is also very expensive as it requires a number of motors that are no longer in production and are expensive on the secondary market.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Data Only&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Assuming that you are just powering a few LED lights in your cars or perhaps a small unloading mechanism that is used infrequently, you can probably get away with using a small lipo or similar battery for your cars. In that case, you just need to figure out a way to get access to control data.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you just need one way data, you could use a very basic RF receiver/transmitter pair (e.g. [receiver](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10532), [transmitter](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10534)). This gets tricky to scale up, as you need a separate frequency and transmitter for each car, but could work with a small number of controlled cars.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The solution that I would probably use if I were trying to do this would be to put an [ESP8266][2] in each car:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![ESP-12f][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These parts are quite cheap ($2 - $5) USD, can consume very little power if programmed properly, and provide a ton of flexibility. They provide and 80 MHz CPU and connect to Wifi networks, so you can control everything from a computer if you'd like. They also provide plenty of I/O pins and are more than fast enough for PWM, so you can have fine-grained control of everything and integrate sensors into locomotives and cars if desired.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/GpZNZ.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESP8266&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/BIqmg.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Another possible explanation would be that the people behind the BrickLink naming chose to round the angle down to simplify things, as a 30° angle feels more natural than a 31° one; while LDraw people may be more used to precise measurements and felt that 31° was closer to the truth.

By varying the number (and so the width) of the petals the approximation gets closer to ideal, but even with three petals a reasonable quality can be reached.

Open up the pneumatic cylinder and separate out the parts:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![opened cylinder][1]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd recommend cleaning everything separately, lubricating the necessary parts, then putting everything back together.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For cleaning off oil and oil residue, you'll want some sort of solvent that is [safe to use on ABS][3], such as WD-40. That should break down more viscous oils, gunk, and rust, but will also **remove printing from printed parts.** You can scrub ABS with a soft cloth without causing damage. If that isn't enough, you can get more aggressive and use something like steel wool or sandpaper, but this will cause light scratching. I've successfully use steel wool on the metal portion of pneumatic cylinders to remove rust, and it works nicely.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Once you have all the heavier oil and grime washed away, you'll want to use a common dish washing detergent to remove the remaining oil. I just put a few drops with water in a jar and shake with the parts inside. Rinse everything off, and repeat as needed if there is still any oil left on the parts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In order to prevent rusting and ensure proper functioning of the parts, once the parts are clean and dry you'll need to now lubricate anything that was lubricated before since we've removed all the oils and lubricants.

There is such an element, which isn't even new or particularly rare, that is, the [Fence 1 x 4 x 2](http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3185):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Fence 1 x 4 x 2](http://media.peeron.com/ldraw/images/7/3185.png)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The centre part has a thickness of 6 ldu, which means that there are 7 ldu on each side. So if you add a 2x4 plate in it, the thickness of the plate (8 ldu) means that it will stick out by exactly one ldu. If your fence is one red brick, just put a 1x4 brick and a 1x4 brick with for knobs on the other to connect to the plate. Your two red bricks should then be 1 ldu apart.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I did learn that trick from Didier Enjary in his excellent [Advanced Building&#xD;&#xA;Techniques Guide](http://news.lugnet.com/announce/?n=3429) which is well worth reading.

There is no point looking for a component that isn't there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Get someone to help you. Sometimes other people can spot what you've missed. Small people often have sharper eyes than big people. My 7 year old son can spot things *far* more qickly than me.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - If you're looking for a small piece, it is almost certainly at the bottom of a collection of larger bricks. So, for small components, dig deep. This should also work when you've spread the components out, but is especially useful if you're searching through a big box. In fact, if you gently shake a box of parts to encourage the big ones to rise and then *rapidly* invert the box onto your play area, you'll probably find that you get a nice layer of small bits on the top of the heap.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Store parts in a big plastic container rather than a cardboard box. Otherwise you'll eventually find the part you're looking for under the flaps at the bottom of the box.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - As others have said, you can't really avoid some kind of sorting, even if it is primitve on-the-fly sorting. For this reason, some of thie ideas in [this][1] answer could help, even if you implement them as you're looking for parts rather than when you store your lego.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Pull out the big base boards and any instructions etc. that get in the way of your looking for parts. It is also worth pulling out any cables or string as they can be annoying to look through, too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - When you see pairs of parts that belong together, stick them together. For example, wheels and tires, windows and glass, aircraft wings etc. That way, when you've found one you've found the other.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Similarly, when you take things apart, leave 'interesting' assemblies partially built. It is sometimes easier to find what you're looking for when it is stuck to something else. For example, leave minifigs assembled, even if you anticipate needing their parts in a different configuration in the future.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - When you're looking, look for several parts at a time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - If you find an interesting part, pull it out and keep it separate, even if it isn't what you want at the moment. Chances are, there parts will stimulate your imagination and you'll want them anyway.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Start building a proper system for organising your parts. For example, my son keeps his minifigs and their gear separate from everything else.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Sometimes you can't help but look through every part in the heap. If you end up doing that, divide the heap into smaller, more managable sections and paw through them one at a time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/550/has-anyone-automated-the-lego-hand-sorting-process-beyond-pawing-piling" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If you place it intelligently, it will be easier to stop your train. Or you could even mimic the old 4,5v system and have your train switch direction automatically at both ends of a track. Just a thought.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, for more serious control, yes, you'll need:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [PF IR receiver](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=8884-1)&#xD;&#xA; - [PF IR speed remote control](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=8879-1)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that all these elements (tracks, motor, battery box, IR receiver and remote) are also present in these trains:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [Passenger Train](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=7938-1)&#xD;&#xA; - [Cargo Train](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=7939-1)&#xD;&#xA; - [Red Cargo Train](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=3677-1) (red battery box)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So it may be worth to do the math and see if you're not better off just buying one of these. Sets are usually cheaper than standalone elements, and considering the extra parts you'll get, it may be a wiser investment. Not to mention that they may be easier to find in regular shops, which means maybe Christmas discounts and the like. And the design of these trains is quite good too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, batteries are going to be a problem, so if you don't want to sink too much money in them you'd better use rechargeable batteries as fast as possible, or yes, switch to:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [PF Rechargeable Battery](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?set=8878-1)&#xD;&#xA; - [10VDC transofmer](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=8887-1) - or [use a cheaper one](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/q/794)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you can see, it can be a costly investment in the long run, but nothing forces you to buy it all in one step, especially the rechargeable battery and charger which are far from cheap.

The average development period for a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; new product is around twelve months, in three stages. The first stage&#xD;&#xA;&gt; is to identify market trends and developments, including contact by&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the designers directly with the market; some are stationed in toy&#xD;&#xA;&gt; shops close to holiday periods, while others interview children. The&#xD;&#xA;&gt; second stage is the design and development of the product based upon&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the results of the first stage. As of September 2008 the design teams&#xD;&#xA;&gt; use 3D modeling software to generate CAD drawings from initial design&#xD;&#xA;&gt; sketches. The designs are then prototyped using an in-house&#xD;&#xA;&gt; stereolithography machine. These are presented to the entire project&#xD;&#xA;&gt; team for comment and for testing by parents and children during the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &quot;validation&quot; process. Designs may then be altered in accordance with&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the results from the focus groups. Virtual models of completed Lego&#xD;&#xA;&gt; products are built concurrently with the writing of the user&#xD;&#xA;&gt; instructions. Completed CAD models are also used in the wider&#xD;&#xA;&gt; organization, such as for marketing and packaging.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;source : [wikipedia][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## How lego used to do it ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;do you know?&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;## How people do it themselves&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lego provide software that does just that.

Mixing blue and grey track and inserts shouldn't be a problem, should you wish to do so. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Motors are also compatible and pick up power the exact same way. Cables use the same connectors and are thus compatible too (if you want to add lighting to your trains).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for accessories, I can't be sure but I believe there are limitations. If you look at the [blue transformer](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=740-2), you'll notice the output to remote control the switch is 16v AC, while grey era remotes use 12v DC. Feeding 12v remotes with 16v might work (it's just an electromagnet inside and shouldn't be exposed for too long), if the blue era remotes need 16v, they may not work with only 12v.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Moreover, the wiring is also different: 12v era remotes use a standard cable, and the polarity determines the direction you want to turn it, but the blue era points use a 3-wire cable, as evidence by this [extension cable](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=708-1). And let's not forget the difference AC/DC, which mean you'll have to add some non-LEGO components to make it work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In short, I think controlling 12v era remotes with the blue transformer should be easy (a couple of diodes should do the trick), but the opposite might prove tricky, and if you have blue points, you may want to get a blue transformer as well. (Then again, I don't know enough about electronics to know how tricky it would be).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A small caveat though: I assumed you have the blue point without the remotes themselves, but since they were sold together, it could be that you get the point, wiring and remote together. If that's so, you best bet is to use the [12v AC output](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/1549) of the 7864 transformer - maybe that's its purpose (and if you try that, and it works, please go answer that question).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This means that every time you need to change the orientation of things, you'll have to think about how you're going to do it, and use plates and whatnot between beams. It's perfectly possible, but don't be surprised if most of the beams in older Technic models are studs up.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With studless beams, none of that. Orientation of the beams doesn't matter much anymore since they'll fit nicely on a cubic grid. This allows for greater flexibility and, indeed, more realistic models. (Some people also like smooth surfaces better.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, the studded beams had some design issues. The obvious one is the offset between the Technic holes and the studs, which isn't exactly a problem but can still be a nuisance at times. The less obvious one is that the Technic hole in beams is actually slightly too high, meaning it doesn't interact well with the rest of the system. See also [this answer](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/519/99) and the linked pdf inside for more information on illegal builds. These two design &quot;flaws&quot; didn't matter much when the beams were first created, but nowadays LEGO perceives this sort of incompatibility much more seriously. They still produce studded beams, but I wouldn't venture a guess on how long that will last.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;br /&gt;One side effect of the transition is that most studless Technic constructions have odd dimensions, because the studless beams themselves have odd dimensions (presumably, because the number of holes on studded beams were also odd due to the offset). As a consequence, the whole Technic system is undergoing a complete overhaul.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At first, more odd axles have been introduced (most notably 7 and 9), then the universal join was shortened from [4](http://www.brickset.com/parts/design-9244) to [3](http://www.brickset.com/parts/design-61903) (the old one was last seen in 2008, so it's probably gone for good), and more recently the [differential](http://www.brickset.com/parts/design-6573) has also been [remade](http://www.brickset.com/parts/design-62821) (there's still one in the 2011 Unimog, but I don't know if they'll actually discontinue it considering it has a function the new one doesn't have.). I don't see any other part left that needs to be updated from even to odd, but considering how often they use a [#2 connector](http://www.brickset.com/parts/design-32034) just to connect axles, I wouldn't be surprised if they made a 3L version of the [axle connector](http://www.brickset.com/parts/design-59443) at some point &#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The economic implication is that if the value of the non-unique elements in a set is $10 and the set sells for $12, it doesn't mean the set is overpriced; instead, it implies the unique element has a inherent value of $2. Harmony is restored to the LEGO secondary market. This business logic can be used to explain why licensed sets are often much worse value per brick than non-licensed - each unique minifig adds over-the-odds value.  Perhaps this stretches credulity too far? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The best argument for having one unique element per set is: *without a unique element, it's conceivable that someone could build this LEGO set with **pieces they already own!*** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![The boxes in those previous pictures are not small. This one's being filled with purple 1x4 curved slopes][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Few of the molds LEGO uses are running 24/7.  Swapping out molds takes about three hours, during which the molding machine (one of 64) is inactive and you have expensive European labour fussing over a machine.  Swapping colours, on the other hand, isn't such a big deal.  Stop the plastic flow, empty the mold and remove the capture box, flow the new colour for  a while until the old colour's properly flushed, then start capturing this new colour (toss all the parts molded in two colours at once into the recycling bin).  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm hoping it's obvious why you've got to store different colours of the same part separately. I'm also hoping you can remember that LEGO makes quite a few copies of each set it sells, so that box of purple 1x4 curved slopes you see above isn't actually all that many from TLG's point of view.  They have to mold every part for a given set they're going to sell, then store them all prior to assembling them in a batch. The vast bulk of LEGO is sold around Christmas, and they don't warehouse a vast amount of the completed sets (you've seen how much air is in a box of LEGO), just enough to keep the channels flowing.  Basically, they've got to be able to store a good portion of the whole year's production, because they can - and do - assemble bricks into sets faster than they can be molded.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As an aside, this is why LUGBulk runs early in the year, when they know what they've got too much of lying around and are comfortable that there aren't going to be any production shocks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![In 2012 LEGO Friends was so popular it broke LEGO distribution quite badly][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Production planning is done well in advance. If a particular set turns out to be gangbuster-crazy popular and requires additional production (a recent example: Friends), LEGO can dip into its reserve of parts but the more unique a set (or even line) is, the less likely you are to have those parts in reserve.  This is, in fact, an argument against having unique parts - but there's only so many models you can put a bright reddish violet slide into. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for getting the same slide in other colours... really? You want it in Pearl light gray? In reddish brown?  In tan?

However, I distinctly remember that some sets had units that gave a slight advantage over other sets, at least for my style of playing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For instance, the Aqua Pod has several units that can deconstruct and eat, but could not move very far.  (Deconstruct reduces your opponent's unit by 1 level.  Eat deconstructs an opponent's level 1 unit and raises your unit up 1 level.)  While the Aero Pod has several that can move far and deconstruct, but do not have the special ability to eat.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Hammerhead][1]  ![Jet Raider][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In several games between these two Pods, I was able to win by moving next to my opponent's unit, battling till he was down to level 1, and then just eating him, thus raising the level of my unit back up by 1.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It may be that certain combinations of sets are more equally matched than others, or it could be that I was just better than my opponent :)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;Edit:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(For a copy of the rules, starter kits, boards, and strategy guide see [this question][3].)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Advanced Rules and the Advanced Strategy Guide give a few pointers that can help your game.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For building a board, the Advanced Rules suggest:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; You should probably have at least 5 obstacles and no more than 9 for a balanced game.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for strategies, they vary based on the abilities of the Pod you have chosen, and your opponent.  (For complete strategies for each Pod against all other Pods, see the Advanced Strategy Guide)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Aero Pod&#xD;&#xA;--------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **Using Obstacles to Your Advantage**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The chief advantage of the Aero Pod is that most of its units can fly or jump. This means that yellow units are much less restrained by obstacles than units of any other Pod.  On an arena filled with obstacles, Aero Pod units are, at their best, able to avoid getting boxed in and to score quickly. On less blocked arena, the Aero Pod has less of an advantage, but its jumpers and fliers can move over enemies, while its raiders can move through them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Aqua Pod&#xD;&#xA;--------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **Undersea Dining**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Similar to the Wild Pod, the Aqua Pod has a well-balanced set up units and a few different strategies from which to choose.  Pay attention to what team you’re up against to determine your strategy. Fast opponents require deconstructing units that have block them at choke point; slow opponents should be outrun with quick moving and jumping units. And don’t forget about your eat ability. Eating gives you an edge in deconstruction stand-oﬀs, so be sure to have some level-one units of your own on the board to rebuild and preserve your powerhouses.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Arachno Pod&#xD;&#xA;-----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **Getting the Opponent in your Web**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Arachno units are pretty quick, so you’ll probably want to play an aggressive game where you try to score early and often. The web ability is a great aid to this strategy. Since web has a range of two, you’re able to maneuver your units easily to freeze opponents before they get near you. Use web to incapacitate oncoming units and either zip your faster units by to score, or moving into your deconstructing units to ﬁnish the job. Arachno works particularly well on open boards, where you can web opponents without blocking oﬀ your paths to the opponent’s row.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Auto Pod&#xD;&#xA;--------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **Quick Scoring**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Auto Pod has the fastest units in the game. It has very few jumpers or ﬂiers, but it makes up for that lack in raw speed. What this means is that an Auto Pod player has a good chance of getting control of the board and scoring points earlier in the game.  This strategy works best on open boards with few obstacles to block your units' movement. On more crowded boards, Auto Pod players have to rely on their pushing, carrying, and limited deconstruction abilities to break the opponent's line and create a path on which to score.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Dragon Pod&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **Winning with Super-units**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The center of a Dragon Pod team is its dragon unit. These four level units are easily the most powerful in the game, so using them eﬀectively is the key to victory. First, the number of units you can use with any individual dragon is limited, so picking a dragon will basically determine your strategy for that board. Your secondary units are fairly weak, so use the dragon aggressively and don’t be afraid to lose a level if it means taking out a key opponent. Still, be sure to have a couple good back-up cards and maybe even some Build and Place X-tras in case the dragon goes down.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Monster Pod&#xD;&#xA;-----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **Scaring Your Opponent Stiff**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Monster Pod is a slow, steadily moving team with a powerful special ability: scare. What makes scare so powerful is that scaring happens automatically at the end of a turn. This means that every scaring unit freezes all adjacent opponent units every turn, even if you didn’t activate it. As a result, scaring units are terrific to leave near important intersections on the board to stop enemy movement. On the other hand, combining a scare unit with a carrying unit will give you an engine you can march across the board, and deconstructing frozen units is an easy way to clear the board.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Robo Pod&#xD;&#xA;--------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **Keeps Going and Going...**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Robo Pod units have the most deconstructing units of any Pod so a lot of Robo Pod strategies are about taking apart your opponent's pieces. Use this advantage to guard your home row and hunt down enemy units to keep them from scoring.  Robo Pod units also have an additional advantage that aids them in deconstruction - almost every Robo Pod unit continues to function at its lowest level. This means that your units have to be removed from the board to stop them from moving. Robo Pod works best on boards where there are choke points that its units can guard, and from which it can slowly march its units to victory.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Wild Pod&#xD;&#xA;--------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **Eating and the Value of Food**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The Wild Pod has the most diversity of all of the Pods, which means that you have a few strategies to choose from. You'll want to tailor your units carefully for the Pod you're facing. The advantage that you have is that your units can eat. This means that any Wild Pod unit on the board can potentially reconstruct itself and that you have a unique edge in deconstructing others. Be sure to make use of the level one &quot;food&quot; units that the Wild Pod has. More powerful units can be accompanied by a couple of level one units that can restore its levels and make it safe from deconstruction.  Using eat well can decimate your opponent's units and allow you to keep your super units for the duration of the game.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Summary&#xD;&#xA;-------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The important thing is to know both your and your opponents strengths and weaknesses, but even the best strategy can be overcome by someone with no strategy.  You must be prepared for anything and have a full knowledge of your own capabilities and how to use them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/iEjyk.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/58vyF.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/q/641/14" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It's something that you'll need to learn for yourself but the first 9 entries handle rotation, the last 3 are translation. It's worth noting that the origin of most bricks is at the bottom with the y-axis heading up through the center of a stud, this makes rotations around the axis of the stud slightly easier. Brick width is 0.8, brick height is 0.96 and plate height 0.32. This probably ties in with real world dimensions in some form, but I don't have the details to hand. The double precision floating point format can't necessary cope with precise decimal values as we might expect to see them, therefore you'll see slight deviations from the values given above, eg. -0.79999935626983643 instead of -0.8. Those 0.707 values are 45 degree rotations, they correspond to the sin or cosine of 45 degrees (or PI/4 in radians) and are part of the transformation. Transformations are in world coordinates.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As Philo points out [in the comments][3], the values that The_Cook queries as &quot;probably ties in with real world dimensions&quot; are indeed the sizes of bricks in centimetres, which means you should be able to transform between systems nicely.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In response to your final goal (building a plugin for 3ds Max) what you're really going to need is a complete set of high-quality meshes - the LDD format works with part models rather than vertices/faces/edges/etc. that 3ds uses. Therefore what you'll probably want to take a look at is a tool to convert from LDD to something like LDraw (you could just use the &quot;Export&quot; function in the LDD file menu), and then use the LDraw model library as your basis for importing into 3ds, or use the features in LDView to export to .3ds (the older, text based file type 3d Studio used before it became &quot;Max&quot;).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=92863&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=92863&amp;#entry1876550&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/3201/can-anyone-explain-the-transformation-information-within-a-lego-digital-designer/3204?noredirect=1#comment3859_3204" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

However, it seemed like it would be insane to try to rub the paste manually between all the studs... so I used a nylon brush to brush the plate. That didn't seem to help much, but didn't make it any worse. Would it have worked if I'd manually rubbed the paste in? Is there a faster way of doing that?" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

That's why you can find [sets with two different numbers](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/q/300/99), or [two different sets with the same number](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/q/302/99).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now the keyword here is &quot;seem&quot;, as I suppose there was some logic to it even in the past.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But nowadays there is some logic, and even if not all of it is understandable, you can at least spot some key elements, such as:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* When I was a kid and they started the 4 digits scheme, the first digit indicated the global theme pretty clearly. 8 was Technic, 6 was LEGOLAND, 77 were trains, and so on. At least for trains, they tended to use round numbers for bigger sets, ending in [0](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=7740-1) or [5](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=7735-1).&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;* Now, the first digit seems to have lost its significance, and sets in the same theme are  usually attributed a [range of numbers](http://www.brickset.com/browse/themes/?theme=Dino%202010), with the small set getting the lowest number. It's not an absolute rule, and I guess it depends on availibility or other factors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Sets in the 10000 range are LEGO shop exclusives. Usually, you will usually only find them on Shop@Home or in LEGO retail outlets, but not in regular toy stores.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Sets in the 20000 range were used for the [BrickMaster](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?set=20008-1) serie, with each set accompanying a BrickMaster issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Sets in the 20200 range will seemingly be used by the &quot;[LEGO Master Builder Academy](http://shop.lego.com/en-US/LEGO-Master-Builder-Academy-Kit-1-Space-Designer-20200)&quot; sets&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Sets in the 21000 rang are [architecture](http://www.brickset.com/browse/themes/?year=2011&amp;theme=Architecture) sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Sets in the 30000 range are usually [small promotionnal polybags](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?set=30014-1)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In addition, there are 7-digits numbers floating around which are probably some other form of internal numbers. For specific [things](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?set=4269244-1) without a set number, that's usually the only thing you'll find.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For parts, you have to distinguish design ID, identifying a specific mould regardless of the color; and element ID, which identifies a unique design/color combination.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't know how design IDs were or are attributed, but it seems there is now some sequential logic behind it. Not that changes in design which don't affect the functionality (hollow bars at the bottom of 1x bricks, for example) don't usually lead to a new design number (while peeron will append a &quot;a&quot;, &quot;b&quot;,... to indicate the version, LEGO doesn't do that internally).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Element IDs used to be a juxtaposition of design ID and color ID, so a Black ([26](http://www.peeron.com/cgi-bin/invcgis/colorguide.cgi)) 2x4 brick ([3001](http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3001)) would be simply 300126. These numbers are still around for parts which existed when that scheme was used. [300126](http://us.service.lego.com/en-GB/replacementparts/showBrick.aspx?item=300126&amp;lod=5&amp;size=2) is still the element ID of a black 2x4 brick.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, at some point (not sure when), they changed this to use a [7-digit number](http://us.service.lego.com/en-GB/replacementparts/showBrick.aspx?item=4107445&amp;lod=5&amp;size=2) for the element ID, which doesn't ahve a relation to the design ID or color any longer. These seem to be sequentially attributed, and it could be that they share the same sequence as internal set numbers (but that's just a guess, really). There are also numbers for individual instruction booklets, which [ROSCO](http://www.br-eng.info/words/index.php/search-lego-instructions/) used to scan for directly on the LEGO site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for where to find these, that's more difficult. You'll notice I link a lot to [BrickSet](http://www.brickset.com/), that's because I feel they do a fantastic job of cataloguing sets. [Peeron](http://www.peeron.com/) has a good database too, but it's usually slower. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For parts, you'll need to go to Peeron, or [BrickLink](http://www.bricklink.com/), but they sometimes differ in their numbering when the official number of a part isn't known. Note that they usually use design IDs and not element IDs, although there is some work in progress [regarding that](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3001&amp;ccName=300126).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, while internal LEGO aren't exactly public, you can find design IDs embossed in elements, and element IDs in the back of all instruction leaflets. Also, the online pick-a-brick and the custoemr service &quot;[replacement part](http://us.service.lego.com/en-GB/replacementparts/default.aspx)&quot; function let you browse recent sets and see what the design and element IDs are for given elements."

Using an NXT motor for steering would be quite wasteful however, you should at least use gearing to convert the jittery, fast movement of the NXT motor into slower, more balanced steering. You could also look into using Power Functions parts, the servo motor being the obvious choice for steering applications.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Another thing is whether I could use a single motor for turning objects 180 degrees on one side and lifting objects on the other end of the robot, is that possible?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If these two need to operate separately, then you will need to sacrifice some functionality. It is possible to split a motor's output into two axles in a configuration that drives only one axle depending on the direction of the motor. See this setup: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/3079/how-can-i-make-a-precise-one-way-clutch-using-technic-elements/3085#3085&#xD;&#xA;This will only allow either axle to turn in one direction only, so if you need lifting AND putting back, you'll need to solve it as a circular function. Driven by the only input axle that is turning in one direction, the lift would need to raise and lower back to the original position without any other input.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; alternatively, is it possible to lift and grab using a single motor?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Using some clever mechanics, it is certainly possible. The [8868 Air Tech Claw Rig/Materials Handler][1] used something like this to automatically grab an object, raise its arm, open the claws, drop the arms and start the cycle again. All this using a single motor (and some pneumatics). In this way though you won't get any control over the details (how high it lifts, etc) or over the sequence itself (you can't grab and release something without lifting it).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Lastly, would it be less efficient to use two NXT bricks to increase motors capacity?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You could certainly use two NXTs and have control over 6 motors. This would however require more batteries, result in a larger and heavier model and necessitate some kind of synchronisation between the NXTs. All of these drawbacks can be mitigated, so if you can't seem to solve the problem using engineering (or have proven that it is impossible to achieve your goals using only 3 motors) then feel free to throw in another NXT.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you need to increase the number of available motors, you could look into using third party parts, like this [motor multiplexer][2] that allows you to use two motors on one sensor port.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=78325&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.mindsensors.com/index.php?module=pagemaster&amp;PAGE_user_op=view_page&amp;PAGE_id=134" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The blocks are available in English, French, German, Japanese, and Dutch.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On a related note, if you want to use Power Functions motors and lights, you can do so by using the two converter cables (NXT-9V + 9V-PF). There is currently no NXT-PF conversion cable, but you could make one as easily as you would make a NXT-9V cable. There is also a [third-party infrared link &quot;sensor&quot;](http://www.hitechnic.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&amp;key=NIL1046) which allows an NXT brick to control PF elements via the normal infrared receiver."

You don't have to buy large, expensive sets in order to get motors. The [basic PF motor set][1] which includes a battery box, motor, wiring, and lighting is $30 USD. Unfortunately, as pointed out in the comments, this kit doesn't include a proper RC remote, so you'd need to buy an IR receiver and IR remote as well, which would add another $25 to the cost.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first thing that you'll need to do is find a suitable motor. Old toys are probably your best bet. If you're going for small, you could also take a pager motor out of an old cell phone. This is what Phillipe used to [make a motorized city-scale vehicle in another question][2]:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![pager motor vehicle][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The main challenges with using custom motors are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Attaching the motors to LEGO bricks&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The strongest connection will likely be created using some sort of glue or epoxy. Most two-part epoxies should be sufficient for small motors. Here's an example from [Eurobricks][4]:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![motor glued with epoxy][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You could probably get away with using screws or even rubber bands, but it's a bit trickier to make everything line up the way you want.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Converting the output of the motor to rotation of a LEGO axle&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Assuming that the motor axle is relatively small, it is possible to drill out the center of a Technic axle and slide it onto the motor's axle. This can be a little tricky to get right, but it does work. Here's a [video that explains it][6].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![drilling Technic axle][7]][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![axle mounted on motor][8]][8]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If your motor already has a pulley attached, it's easy to just run a belt between the motor and a Technic pulley.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Powering and controlling the motors&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you don't mind your creation having a tail, the easiest way to power the motors is to simply run a wire to the vehicle from some sort of controller. It's fairly easy to put together a working system if you have old wired remote controlled toys like this one laying around:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![old remote controlled car][9]][9]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you have any radio controlled toys laying around, it's also fairly easy to just rip the electrical parts out, put those on your LEGO model, and wire up your motors. You could also use the motors from the original toy. Then you don't even need to do any wiring. You would have to find a place for batteries and the receiver hardware on your creation, though.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/LEGO-Power-Functions-Motor-Set-8293&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/1765/708&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/YGGMJ.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=114847&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/r666P.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Alj50TYrG6o&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZC86Z.png&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/464do.png&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/dlq7s.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It was designed for adults (more specifically: for architects) as a system to build models of existing and planned buildings. Bricks are smaller, and have a different geometry (1:1 vs 5:6 for LEGO). Buying Modulex is expensive due to the limited production run and the fact that the last Modulex was produced 50 years ago.

They chose white because it is the classic color for architectural models, but it became the classic color because it blends nicely with almost everything.  Since it isn't a bright color it won't clash with whatever you're trying to do as long as it isn't Bat Man.  You have a lot of [tag:city] elements already which use white alot so this should fit nicely.&#xD;&#xA;* Use your bright bricks for structural elements.  Many LEGO sets include red and blue bricks that you never see when the model is completed.  Having these be a nice contrasting color makes their instruction books easier to follow, but it also helps you by using your available bricks more efficiently.&#xD;&#xA;* If you're trying to build things that go with your [tag:starwars] models check out the [new Death Star](https://shop.lego.com/en-US/Death-Star-75159).

If you compare the bottom of a LEGO 2x4 brick and a DUPLO 2x4 brick, there are also additional small walls that I have not found documented.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----&#xD;&#xA;*Update:* Some dimensions of a DUPLO brick can be derived from the dimensions of a LEGO brick, which have been [documented by Robert Cailliau](http://www.robertcailliau.eu/Lego/Dimensions/zMeasurements-en.xhtml) among&#xD;&#xA;others:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Above and below a DUPLO 2x2 brick one can put two LEGO 2x4 bricks (or four 2x2 LEGO bricks). The outer walls of such stack seem to align perfectly, so the **width** and **length** of a DUPLO 2x2 brick is equal to the width of a LEGO 2x4 brick, which is **31.8mm** (32mm-0.2mm). By putting DUPLO and LEGO side by side, one can also see that the DUPLO **height** without studs is twice of the size in LEGO (**19.2mm**). The LEGO studs below the DUPLO brick touch DUPLO walls, so DUPLO **wall thickness** is the same as LEGO wall thickness (either before spline walls were introduced to LEGO bricks or LEGO wall thickness plus the length of LEGO splines), which is **1.5mm**. The DUPLO **tube height** is the height of the brick minus the height of a LEGO stud (which is somewhere between 1.6mm and 1.8mm). I'd better use the larger value, so the tubes start 1.8mm above the floor of the brick. From the top, LEGO tubes fit into DUPLO studs, so the **stud inner diameter** should equal to **6.51mm** (8*√2 - 4.8$). But if you carefully look inside a DUPLO stud, this fitting is only achieved by four additional lugs that give a minimal inner diameter around 6mm to facilitate snapping into.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The remaining dimension include:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* stud outer diameter&#xD;&#xA;* stud height&#xD;&#xA;* tube inner diameter (but DUPLO tubes are not fully circular inside&#xD;&#xA;  on a closer look!)&#xD;&#xA;* tube outer diameter (also occurs at some other elements for instance as stem at [#6510](http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/6510))&#xD;&#xA;* spline length&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Spline length can be derived from wall width and stud outer diameter.

As a box, they are considered as only one set, which suits LEGO better as there is less overhead.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Logistically, it makes sense too. If the retailers needed to buy individual minifigs, they might not want to bother (especially if they still have to buy boxes of 60, for example), whereas buying a few boxes of random minifigs isn't usually a problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You'll find a similar example with train track: when LEGO introduced RC (plastic) track, they decided to sell straight and curved track pieces together in a box. That decision makes absolutely no sense at all, except to reduce the number of boxes in production. They managed to correct this a little by replacing the curved tracks with flex-track in recent boxes (curves aren't sold separately anymore, which is just fine); but they still have only one box of supplemental track (points nonwithstanding).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That said, this reasoning doesn't actually fully hold. The content of minifig boxes appears to be fixed (which makes sense for production purposes), so nothing prevents them from marking which minifig is in which bag, and it wouldn't make much difference for retailers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But LEGO doesn't do that. In fact, they even actively stopped doing it, [as the first two series were easily identifiable through a barcode](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/758). When LEGO noticed fans had discovered this, they resorted to other, more hidden methods. Which proves they **want** it to be random, and we still have to find out why.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Again, production issues can help explain this: if custoemrs can pick their minifigs, retailers left with leftovers of unwanted minifigs may not be as keen to buy more boxes of the next series.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But to be honest, I think LEGO really wanted the randomness to be there to start with, simply because they want children (their target demographic, let's not forget this) have the fun of discovering what they got, and try to get them all one way or the other."

It showed 51 colours in use, although their company profile spoke about 58.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Official LEGO palette](https://i.stack.imgur.com/K0kIj.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is the Palette LEGO used in 2010, meaning that only these colours were in production then. Unfortunately, LEGO doesn't release this info on a regular basis (I'm frankly quite surprised they did in the first place), and I don't know if it has been updated since. On the other hand, LEGO has learned not to change their palette too often, so it's likely there hasn't been much change since then.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr/&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit: I was optimistic in thinking there would be little change in two years time. As you ask, there are two Friends colours &quot;[Medium Azur](http://www.brickset.com/parts/browse/colours/?colour=Medium%20Azur)&quot; and &quot;[Medium Lavender](http://www.brickset.com/parts/browse/colours/?colour=Medium%20Lavender)&quot; which new for 2012 and are thus not present on the list.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The [list of colours on BrickLink](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogColors.asp) has date information which you'll certainly find useful; for example &quot;[Olive Green](http://www.brickset.com/parts/browse/colours/?colour=Olive%20Green)&quot; is of course new too (and is bound to become extremely popular), &quot;[Spring Yellowish Green](http://www.brickset.com/parts/browse/colours/?colour=Spring%20Yellowish%20Green)&quot; and &quot;[Light Glow](http://www.brickset.com/parts/browse/colours/?colour=White%20Glow)&quot; are also new; and &quot;[Aqua](http://www.brickset.com/parts/browse/colours/?colour=Aqua)&quot; (&quot;Light Aqua&quot; on BrickLink) , &quot;[Dark Azur](http://www.brickset.com/parts/browse/colours/?colour=Dark%20Azur)&quot; and &quot;[Lavender](http://www.brickset.com/parts/browse/colours/?colour=Lavender)&quot; all appear to have been introduced in 2011.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You could also try to see which colours have been phased out, but since the BrickLink list appears to be based on the year in which a set is first introduced, it's probably not too reliable. For example, the &quot;[Light Stone Grey](http://www.brickset.com/parts/browse/colours/?colour=Light%20Stone%20Grey)&quot; used in mindstorms (or &quot;Very light Bluish Grey&quot; on BrickLink) is stated as last seen in 2010, but since the NXT 2.0 kit is still sold, it's possible it's still produced. So trying to know whether a colour is out or not is at this stage a guess, although I would at least venture to guess that &quot;[Phosph.Green](http://www.brickset.com/parts/browse/colours/?colour=Phosph.Green)&quot; is out - since there's a new &quot;glow in the dark&quot; effect. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr/&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for availability to designers, I don't see why some colours would be limited to specific themes, even though of course specific themes are designed around specific main colours. So Friends sets may have more purple and pink, but that doesn't mean they can't use other colours, or that other sets can't use purple and pink.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now that you mention it, it would make sense however to lower the entry cost for specific colours in specific themes to make sure designers aren't penalized. What I mean is, if a Friends designer needs a specific part in pink, there's less reason to deny it to him than there would be for, say, a Technic Designer. Usually producing an existing part in a new colour bears a cost for the set designer, but there could be different rules depending on the theme. It's pure speculation, though; and it's as likely that the theme doesn't do any difference at all.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In any case, once production has been decided for a specific part in a specific colour, it's certainly available for all other designers. The only exception would be part-specific (for example, a city designer is probably not allowed to use a Star Wars stormtrooper helmet), but I see no reason for having such restrictions on specific colours.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

There are also open positions which specifically mention students.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In any case, enthusiasm about the LEGO brand is certainly useful, and of course you'll probably have to devote some thinking time about where you're willing to work and live, especially considering most central positions are in specific countries, with [Denmark](http://denmark.dk/en/practical-info/work-in-denmark/) being the most important."

I only need a few different shapes, namely 2x4 bricks and 2x2 bricks, which are off-patent.  Does anyone know which factories, other than those owned-by/bound-to LEGO Group, have experience in making LEGO compatible bricks and would likely be open to producing another run?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Background**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I run Ascendly.com which runs after school programs to teach grade school kids engineering.  My flagship course, Jr. Structural Engineering, uses LEGO bricks to build structures and to learn about the engineering process.  I only use a few bricks in the course:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * 2x4 bricks &#xD;&#xA; * 2x2 bricks&#xD;&#xA; * 16x32, or larger, baseplates&#xD;&#xA; * 1x2 bricks (optional)&#xD;&#xA; * 1x1 bricks (optional)&#xD;&#xA; * 1x2 45 degree slope (optional)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For any one class, I ensure all of the bricks of a certain size are a consistent and unique color. So, all of my 2x4s would be blue, and all of my 2x2s would be green, for example.  This keeps the students focused on the shape of the structures, makes it easier to see how the other students used their blocks, and avoids worrying about color aesthetics.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Buying bricks in bulk of any specific color is problematic.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Related Question(s):**&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;* https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/217/where-are-lego-parts-made&#xD;&#xA;* https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/1543/are-the-molds-for-lego-bricks-maintained-in-house-or-is-maintanance-partly-outso&#xD;&#xA;* https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/191/what-kind-of-plastic-are-lego-bricks-made-of&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Update**&#xD;&#xA;Just to add some context, I have good relationships with my two local LEGO stores, and they've helped me order about 50 pick-a-brick boxes over the last couple of years, but I'm hoping to find a more reliable and scalable source of building blocks.

As seen in the comments, limits may be an issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contacting the LEGO customer service is certainly a good way to go, especially if you mention it's for educational purposes. Usually, you should be able to order a large quantity of specific given bricks, but I'm not sure they'll easily apply a bulk discount. Don't forget LEGO has an [educational division](http://education.lego.com/) which might be a better place to start, although I'm not sure they sell bricks separately.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;OddTodd also mentioned that [LEGO Certified Professional](http://aboutus.lego.com/en-us/lego-group/programs-and-visits/lego-certified-professionals/) have possibilities to buy parts in bulk, and while it shows LEGO has the possibility of doing so, I think there's a very important underlying point in there: you could contact a LCP yourself and see how he can help you. In addition of providing you material, he could make a visit at your school and talk about LEGO and his work, which may be interesting for the kids.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I can think of two other routes you can try, as there are two other sort of people who have readily access to large quantities of bricks: LEGO shops and LEGOland parks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[LEGO shops](http://service.lego.com/en-us/store-locator/) have a pick-a-brick wall where you can fill some buckets with whatever bricks are available at the moment. While this will certainly not be interesting for you, you may want to contact the manager and see if they're willing to order bricks specifically for you. One great advantage of this, if they're willing to help (again, mention the educational angle), is that they'll usually be able to buy parts by weight (for instance, 2kg boxes). Asking won't hurt you in any way.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Similarly, LEGOland park designers also have the possibility to order in bulk, but it's of course limited to their needs for the park buildings. However, if you happen to live near one, contacting the manager there might be worth trying, you never know.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One key point in all this is that the parts you need are extremely basic, which means it should be easier for you to convince people to sell them to you. Since a LEGO shop must order boxes of bricks on a regular basis, I'm confident it's the easiest route, as one or two boxes more should be easy for them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for the &quot;not-LEGO&quot; option, maybe you could contact the customer service of other existing brands and see what they can do (you could even use that as leverage in your discussion with LEGO, if you're so inclined... I can imagine &quot;But MegaBloks can provide me 10000 2x4 bricks for less than that&quot; may be a valid argument). I don't think people not currently manufacturing bricks would be willing to help, even if they have the tools to mould parts (moulds themselves are costly), but you could ask. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Check these two questions for more info on alternatives to LEGO:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [Are companies producing custom molded LEGO pieces legally entitled to do so?](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/q/250/99)&#xD;&#xA; - [Alternative products compatible with LEGO](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/q/256/99)" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I've heard a more subtle one recently: the sides of the [Arch 1 x 5 x 4](http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/2339) are thinner than before, which doesn't seem to matter except when you try to attach studs underneath - they don't hold. I tried with some brown arches from [Medieval Market Village](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?set=10193-1) and I can confirm it. Funnily enough, the part seems to have been [redesigned again](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=76768) since then.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, LEGO probably won't redesign a part just for that reason alone, since creating a new mould is very expensive, so they will most likely do it only when they want to redesign the part anyway or when a mould has to be replaced.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have no way to know which reason is behind the 1x6 arch change, but it's likely they felt the new design fitted more with the system as a whole - seeing [donutsftw's answer](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/2081/99), I can't help feeling he may be right. Not only is the interaction between these two parts nothing short of perfect now, but it's possible LEGO has thought of something else that makes more sense with the new arch too."

So, the Caboose you've mentioned will work perfectly with the track supplied with the Cargo Train. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are a couple of exceptions to this rule:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Duplo track isn't the same gauge as LEGO track, so you shouldn't expect it to work ([although you can usually get away with it anyway][1]).&#xD;&#xA; - There are now two gauges of LEGO track, the traditional &quot;L-Gauge&quot; track and a newer narrow gauge. They are, obviously, incompatible.&#xD;&#xA; - Trains that were not designed to run on rails obviously won't run on rails. Sadly, this includes the unmodified [Ghost Train (9467)][2].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Electrical components are a different matter. Trains that need a powered rails obviously won't work unless they're running on compatible track. So, the old mains-powered 4.5V, 12V and 9V engines won't work on modern track unless you replace the motor (which can be non-trivial).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Most battery powered trains will be fine on all types of track, although the very early trains had small teeth on their [wheels][3] to give them traction against corresponding notches in early track. Although they'll certainly fit the modern track, you might find that they don't run very well unless you swap the wheels.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Couplings**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The couplings on LEGO trains have always been at the same height, so there are no problems there. The bottom line, then, is that the couplings on the Caboose will work well with the Cargo Train.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The magnetic couplings are generally compatible with each other, so you won't have any problem there, either. The first magnetic couplings were polarised - north and south (red and blue) - so you had to make sure the wagons were the right way around on the track. 9V era trains had magnets that flip round, so they would work whichever way around they were, and were completely compatible with older polarized couplings. The very latest couplings don't swivel in the same way, but are [reportedly][4] backward-compatible with all older couplings.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Of course, the early non-magnetic couplings are incompatible with the magnetic ones, but can usually be replaced with a magnetic coupling without too much difficulty.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The one problem that some people have encountered with magnetic couplings is that they don't always hold together if the wagons are too heavy. This can happen if your train is too long, for example.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**TL;DR**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Caboose will work well with the Cargo Train.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/1534/do-regular-lego-trains-fit-onto-duplo-tracks&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://brickset.com/sets/9467-1&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=wheel1a&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=47539" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

In 1958, Lego applied for a patent for a new design with center posts in the bricks, which allowed for a tighter more stable fit. So, the 1x2 brick without a post is likely a very old lego, and not a specialty piece of some sort.

But when the PC case is lifted up by holding the handles, the pillars become critical to support the weight of the entire PC.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Normal stacking up the LEGO bricks or plates must not work. The bricks/parts will be separated very easily.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][12]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What is the strongest LEGO structure when using as Pillars?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have come up with a structure (below left). I pile up the plates along the Y axis. So when tension is applied to the pillar, the knobs (many knobs) will lock each others, such that (as long as the LEGO plates themselves do not break) the pillar will not break into two parts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is a problem. Although the pillar will not be pulled apart along the Z axis, the plates might be separated along the Y axis due to the tension. So I made a &quot;doughnut&quot; to secure the pillar (below right). When the pillar wants to separate, it is a force along the Y axis. The knobs of the &quot;doughnut&quot; will (hopefully) act against forces of X and Y axis.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5 plates (3.2 x5 = 16mm) = 2 pitches (8 x2 = 16mm), so the pillar fits exactly in the &quot;doughnut&quot; (with 0.2mm (Y axis) &amp; 0.4mm (X axis) tolerance).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][13]  ![enter image description here][14]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Such that, the pillars have to be 6 pitches thick, which is 4.8cm. If this structure is possible, can we make the &quot;doughnut&quot; 1 pitch thick, and the pillar 4 pitches thick?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I assume using longer plates will be better than short plates, because fewer gaps along the Z axis, lower risk to separate, isn't it? However, I believe more plates stacking up along the Y axis, which will have more knobs, will make the pillar stronger. Which means using plates here is better than using bricks, isn't it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In [this PDF][15] page 4, that research suggests using pegs. Obviously, the number of pegs can be used in the pillar will be less than the number of knobs in my suggested structure.

From his experiments, [the Flemish structure][14] is a clear winner.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Like [the pillar problem][15], I wonder why not stack plates/bricks up along the X/Y axis, instead of the Z axis?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My suggestion is basically the structure of the pillar rotated clockwise along the Y axis, and extending it along the Y axis.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][16]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For those who have not read the pillar section yet, this is simply stacking up plates along the Y axis.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Same as the pillar, there is a risk of the plates separating due to the weight. So I make a &quot;doughnut&quot; to secure the plates.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][17]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here is how they look like together.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][18]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I assume using longer plates will be better than short plates, because fewer connecting points, lower risk to separate, isn't it? However, in the [presentation mentioned above][19], the result suggests that a mix of long and short plates has the most strength. Does this theory apply to my &quot;Y axis structure&quot;?

My theory is that the structure has gotten large enough that the spacing in the bricks is adding up such that your structure is no longer &quot;square&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;According to this page, there is a 0.1mm gap between two bricks attached to a common base. This gap makes it possible to remove the bricks once they've been placed. Also, Lego claims their manufacturing process has a tolerance of 0.01mm (10 microns). With a long enough structure, those mm add up.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Here is an example of the gap in play](https://www.flickr.com/photos/jerac/16262894924)&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are the same number of plates on the left and on the right. The left ones are all pushed together, the right ones are attached to a baseplate (or some other 16-stud plate or brick). Because each plate has a 0.1mm gap, multiplied by 16 plates gives 1.6mm difference. Even if the 0.1mm isn't the right value, you can see that there IS a gap and it is large enough to be significant over a small distance.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When you are building a very large creation, inevitably some things won't want to fit properly. I am building a multi-story building using 1xN bricks for the walls (mostly 1x2 and 1x4 bricks). Each story is the same size as the previous one, and each one is re-inforced by the flooring and internal walls, but it's painfully obvious that the different stories don't fit well together. When I take one story off another, it doesn't want to snap back into position later.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's even possible to take advantage of the gaps to make curves. If you make a long enough wall out of 2x1 bricks, you can [physically bend it into a circle.](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/1023/52) &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as advice on how to avoid this problem, I don't really have anything concrete. One thing you could try to do is to space things uniformly, using the same kinds of pieces all the time. If you build a long strip using 2x4 bricks on one side, and 2x2 bricks on the other, you may find that they are not the same length even though they have the same number of studs. Or, design your creation in modular sections, counting on the fact that it will not quite meet at section boundaries. This is how people build bridges: they are frequently designed to allow for expansion and contraction of the bridge sections by placing seams that allow for the change in size as the bridge temperature changes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/FcH4p.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I'm not saying I know for sure if an exploit exists, either in the communications protocol or the BT firmware, but exploits are always possible. And it's not like LEGO is incentivized to look for obscure security issues in this stuff -- it just isn't that important.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Exploits come in different flavours, as do attacks. One place to start looking is the vendors that LEGO sourced for the various pieces of the NXT platform, and not just Bluetooth. We are looking for manufacturers that have released security notices for their hardware and drivers in the hopes that an exploit is still in the wild in an unpatched device used on NXT.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another trick is to decide what sort of attack payloads are available. For example, even if you can't get debug access to the device, maybe you could keep the device so busy with bogus or specially crafted connection attempts that you gain some advantage. A denial-of-service attack is often just as effective as a direct hack.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You want to start looking at all the I/O that NXT uses, and then see how you can exploit it for direct access or some sort of leverage that gives you an advantage of some other sort.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And often exploits are leveraged in concert to get the access the hacker wants. So, you want to collect as much information as possible, and then start hacking your Kobayashi Maru solution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------------&#xD;&#xA;Well, [I recently ran across this answer](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/7237/3971), which shows that the LEGO Group sometimes patches security holes.

Assuming you are going to break up your collection but not sort it into sets, you will likely get more money for your collection if you sell it in smaller lots sorted by color. You can get a sense for what different colors are worth per pound by searching completed listings on eBay. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, I don't believe that the answer you cited is correct in most cases (including yours). The first item listed on the [most popular answer][1] is:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 1. Sell the collection as-is (with as much honest description as you can muster and great photos if you're selling on-line).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You don't just have random bricks. Since it sounds like you have many complete or nearly complete sets, you'd be losing that value if you break everything up an sell it in 2 pound lots.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Assuming that you collection is well kept, and you don't want to do the work to sort it, I'd recommend selling it as one large lot. List the sets that you have instructions for and indicate that you believe that they are 99% complete (e.g. you aren't aware of any missing pieces or minifigs, but some have probably wandered off over the years). There are definitely people out there that buy large lots like this and separate out and sell sets for a profit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You'll want to take plenty of pictures. I'd spread things out and take as many detailed shots of the parts as you can. Experienced buyers will be able to tell pretty quickly how complete your collection is. Given that minifigs have much more value than regular parts, I'd also recommend taking photos of them in a way that allows them to all be identified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/1162/708" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I would expect what you have described to work, but it is possible that your design is overloading the over current protection in the battery box.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;PF battery boxes are designed to provide 800mA. Any more than this, and they have protection built in to cut power and prevent damage.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;LEGO indicated that the XL motors draw 300mA under normal conditions, and [Philo][1] has the stalled current listed at 1800mA. A single stalled XL motor can overload the battery box, and two of them working hard can easily as well. See [this answer][2] for more information.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As a quick check, if you disconnect the motors from your car so that they can just run free, are they able to both run as expected? This should work fine and draw only 160mA if everything is connected and working properly. If not, one of your components must be performing abnormally or not be connected properly. As others have said, a photo would help us diagnose connection or build issues.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.philohome.com/motors/motorcomp.htm&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/2127/708" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Some positions also list a direct point of contact who can answer questions on the specific position (usually the boss-to-be, I suppose).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm not sure where a mathematics background might be useful within LEGO, but I don't know the full organization by far, and there are certainly some positions where it's going to be useful. In any case, don't be too afraid by all requirements listed for given positions, they don't necessarily mean that someone isn't suited for the job. But that's probably a discussion for [another site](https://workplace.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/hiring-process).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, jobs for which experience is required will probably be out of your reach, unless you do have experience in the required domain. For example, you could very well be a good LEGO builder already and have a chance for a [design job](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/283/99).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But the good news is that LEGO seems to be willing to attract young talents, in particular in the IT sector. I remember seeing recently a &quot;job position&quot; which was in fact some sort of one-day seminar for young graduates, so that they could see what the life at LEGO is. There are also open positions which specifically mention students.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In any case, enthusiasm about the LEGO brand is certainly useful, and of course you'll probably have to devote some thinking time about where you're willing to work and live, especially considering most central positions are in specific countries, with [Denmark](http://denmark.dk/en/practical-info/work-in-denmark/) being the most important."

The &quot;dots&quot; are [LEGO part 4073]( https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4073&amp;idColor=85#T=C&amp;C=85) which BrickLink calls &quot;Plate, Round 1 x 1 Straight Side&quot;.  So you end up with 4 dots on your 3x3 base.  I didn't have a 3x3 handy so I start with a 4x4 to demonstrate:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; [![dots added to base plate][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;1. Those dots form new layer that is half of a stud off from the base plate (3x3 for the OP, 4x4 in the pictures).  So you can just stick your next plate on it. (2x2 for the OP, 2x3 in the pictures)&#xD;&#xA; [![enter image description here][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/jX5OV.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/eWbUs.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The disagreement is based on what information was publicly available from the Lego Group at the time, what pieces had been manufactured up to that point, and what features the category authors thought were salient.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To really appreciate the magnitude of the problem, just try classifying every part in your own collection. Make your own categories or try to follow somebody's elses. You will raise a lot of questions about how broad the categories should be. Everybody with a storage system goes through this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Existing Classification Schemes&#xD;&#xA;-------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [Consider BrickLink's categories](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogTree.asp?itemType=P), which are up to 188 categories containing 25,096 parts as of this writing. In this scheme, there are no subcategories, only 2 levels. The category Brick covers 70 parts, but has 7 co-categories like Brick, Decorated (1356) and Brick, Round (38). Brick, Round shares some close neighbors in a separate group, Cylinder(47) (both terms inherited from LDRAW, by the way.) You could reasonably argue about membership characteristics for classifying under Brick, Round or Cylinder or even whether there should be two groups.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [LDRAW](http://www.ldraw.org), originated by James Jessiman), didn't categorize parts hierarchically, but for many parts the first word or two makes a genus.  Programs such as [http://mlcad.lm-software.com/](MLCAD) displayed some of these categories in a menu but invited you to think of the big list &quot;like the rummage in the Lego box.&quot; As of this writing, LDRAW covers 5,377 parts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [Peeron](http://peeron.com/inv) is an example of an exhaustive set database using LDRAW's part numbers and names. Peeron didn't introduce a hierarchy of its own.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [PartsRef](http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/), by Steve Bliss, a major LDRAW parts author, attempted to categorize the LDRAW parts hierarchically. It had 22 top level categories, for instance: Architectural, having subcategories like Doors. However the Plate category remained undivided and included all the plates with various protrusions. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [LEGO Digital Designer](http://ldd.lego.com/) is a newer example with its brick palettes (sorry, I'm not a user.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [Pick-a-Brick](http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Pick-A-Brick-ByTheme) as of this writing uses 42 categories, some of which are very broad. For instance, &quot;Brick, Special&quot; is one category (currently 155 parts) that other schemes divide into various groups for round bricks, modified bricks, cylinders, hinges, cones, etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [Auczilla](http://web.archive.org/web/20000824023550/http://www.auczilla.com/lego/xiii/) by Todd Lehman and Suzanne Rich (circa 1996-2000) had another exhaustive parts scheme that excelled in its use of geometric adjectives for part names, such as Half-Octagonal (debatable on math grounds) and Quarter-Round, Convex and Concave. The link is from Internet Wayback but shows the top categories. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Finally, [Technica](http://isodomos.com/technica/registry/registry.php) (1999) was another attempt at classifying just Technic parts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the end, some parts are placed into categories primarily by geometry, others by function, yet others by historical origin. You could also conceivably group bricks by building function (I'm thinking of direction-changing rectilinear bricks) or even by simply the number of studs (I'm thinking of a Kanji dictionary.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Part Names Make Classification Muddier&#xD;&#xA;--------------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Consider the language barrier: if you read Lego's English Pick-A-Brick names, you realize it's translated (from Danish). A major category is &quot;Brick, Bow&quot;  also known as an Arch.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Dome*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![30367 or 553][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Consider 30367, LEGO's &quot;Final Brick&quot; filed under Bricks, Special. Perhaps they meant Finial? LDRAW calls it a [Cylinder with Dome Top](http://peeron.com/inv/parts/553). BrickLink puts it under Brick, Round (remember BrickLink has both categories Cylinder and Brick, Round from its LDRAW heritage.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Jumper Plate*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Jumper Plate][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Jumper Plate is one name that made perfect sense to Europeans but baffled Americans; to James Jessiman (Australian) it was a [Plate 1 x 2 with 1 Stud](http://peeron.com/inv/parts/3794). I recall Auczilla used the adjective Offset in there. In Pick-A-Brick it's now a Plate 1x2 With 1 Knob. Or should it be a tile because it's mostly flat?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Loudhailer*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Loudhailer][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then there are multi-purpose parts: describe [4349](http://peeron.com/inv/parts/4349) geometrically and it's another cone. But it could be a Minifig Weapon, or just Minifig Utensil. In LDRAW, it's a Loudhailer and has no category as such. The American term would be a Megaphone but many know it as Star Wars Blaster. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Multiply this complexity by thousands, and you get an idea that the task of naming is never settled. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Part Numbers&#xD;&#xA;------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Many LEGO bricks have part numbers imprinted from the mold. This is now called a &quot;Design ID&quot; by LEGO. It served as the original basis for LDRAW part numbers. However, LDRAW invented its own numbers for parts with no number. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;About the year 2000, LEGO introduced a 7 digit &quot;Element ID&quot; to designate a particular design in a particular color. These numbers began to be used internally at LEGO for Building Instructions software, and externally in LEGO Creator software products. They are now shown in official set inventories and in Pick-A-Brick.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Conclusion&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This should give you an idea why different name and category schemes don't align. We start by talking about the same LEGO pieces but we bring preferred names from childhood or later (I always referred and still refer to 1xN bricks as 1-bumper, 2-bumper, etc.) We group them according to geometry or function, but find new reasons to subdivide or revise to make the groups more intuitive. New parts challenge these categories.  LEGO does not seem to have given the problem much thought or care, lumping parts into catch-all categories. I derive immense satisfaction from solving a problem of devising a part's genus and differentia, but I realize that just like in the taxonomy of living things, there is competition between systems, and endless revision.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/NUPwv.gif&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/zyBNX.gif&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/BWVfv.gif" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I'm most of the way there, but have a few specific issues.  He has a 21 month old brother, so I can't use regular legos (or I think this would be easier).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have the cab from [this set](http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Number-Train-10558):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;img src=&quot;https://dorkymum.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/lego-duplo-number-train.jpg&quot;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I plan to attach it to the bottom of a regular wheel base (like the wheel base from the same set), which creates the gondola - all good so far.  However, I haven't figured out how to recreate the track/wires/etc. without some permanent modifications. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have a pretty large supply of Duplos to work with (including the large powered train set), and I live in an area with a large Lego Store and a Legoland, so I probably have access to anything that is produced and sold in the US, and I don't mind buying odd sets - I just haven't found something that seems like it would work.  I have plenty of duplos to build a little mountain with, and the little guy has sufficient imagination that he won't require a specific color scheme or a skier minifig (which I also haven't found).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have considered using track, but I don't think I quite have the space for that (as it would take up a lot more) - and would rather do something that appears more like string/wires, as he's very aware of how that works and is very bright and detail oriented.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Specifically size-wise, I plan to build a mountain around 10-20 dots square, and about 8-12 bricks high (this depends in part on how many bricks I decide to use, and on how high it needs to be to make the gondolas work).  I would put the gondola 'base' a bit away from the mountain, and the gondola end point near the top of the mountain.  Sort of like how Playmobil did theirs:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;img src=&quot;https://playmobil.scene7.com/is/image/Playmobil/5426_product_detail?$pdp_image$&amp;locale=en_US&quot;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;except with a nice large Duplo mountain and a less complex base (I probably would just do a 8x4 platform or whatever size was necessary to manage the setup.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In particular, I'm looking for suggestions for how to manage the hanging aspect.  Since it's on a wheel base, I can put that wheel base on top of strings or wires or something else, but I don't know how to do that within the Duplo setup; I can make large knots or something through small openings in various piece combinations, and use regular string, but I'm not sure I could do that in such a way that the wheels would stay on (These are regular wheel base wheels, so they don't have anything that would help them stay on the wire/string).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Dk5oB.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I did create one for this beforehand, but it's on the same HDD.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As jfyelle [said](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/736) the solution consists of using one LEGO element which has an odd ldu dimension somewhere. There is such an element, which isn't even new or particularly rare, that is, the [Fence 1 x 4 x 2](http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3185):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Fence 1 x 4 x 2](https://i.stack.imgur.com/c7yyU.png)](http://media.peeron.com/ldraw/images/7/3185.png)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The centre part has a thickness of 6 ldu, which means that there are 7 ldu on each side. So if you add a 2x4 plate in it, the thickness of the plate (8 ldu) means that it will stick out by exactly one ldu. If your fence is one red brick, just put a 1x4 brick and a 1x4 brick with for knobs on the other to connect to the plate. Your two red bricks should then be 1 ldu apart.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I did learn that trick from Didier Enjary in his excellent [Advanced Building&#xD;&#xA;Techniques Guide](http://news.lugnet.com/announce/?n=3429) which is well worth reading. That document contains a whole chapter on offsetting, but curiously the 1 ldu offset isn't listed explicitly; rather, the fence element and its 7 ldu offset is mentioned casually in the SNOT section.

You can see the column on the left in this picture is shifting half a stud above a 3x3 plate:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Castle picture](https://c3.staticflickr.com/6/5723/31130148762_771a70385c.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course you can do it too!  Here is the process:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Take your 3x3 base plate and stick 1x1 &quot;dots&quot; between each of the studs.

It is actually dual-use: not only does it give weight, but you can add even more motors or sensors to your robot design.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There's an added bonus if you use the EV3 with the battery pack (yeah, I know it's not exactly cheap) rather than ordinary batteries, though there's a small change in the space occupied by the brick.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another thing in terms of weight is the motors: if you're only using, say, 2 EV3 regulated motors, consider adding another two right next to them via gears. This gives you the 2x weight you want + doubles the torque.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yet another things I can advise - and you've got to check the rules of your particular competition - is to use axles made of metal. The reason I'd suggest this is that although &quot;it's not LEGO&quot; in the traditional sense, LEGO Technic axles are very weak and don't allow you to hang a wheel 'loosely' off a bar. With metal axles this problem is removed somewhat; plus, if you're in control of axle length, you can actually make very long axles that go through the entire robot, providing extra rigidity as they become 'load bearing' for wheels on both sides. And yes, this also gives you the extra weight.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally there's the extreme option of just having heavier parts, again if and only if this is permitted by the competition rules. The two things I can think of are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Wheels made of medical silicon; these are stupidly heavy and also have a grip that is way better than ordinary Lego wheels.&#xD;&#xA; - Beams made of metal. Why beams? Because beams are easier to make than other parts: you just take a bar and drill some holes in it. Well, assuming you get the hole sizes just right.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Speaking from experience, you'll find that adding weight doesn't really help in Sumo competitions as much as you want. One reason is so many robots these days have front-facing scoops that try to lift you up, and I'm yet to see this approach fail when the robot is too heavy. &#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The HW Version Identification shown on page 3 of the schematic (0101 [binary] == 5 [decimal]) does not match the actual mass-produced hardware (1000 [binary] == 8 [decimal]), so it leads me to believe that the schematic that LEGO has shared is not the final revision, but rather a slightly older revision.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is also a PIC microcontroller (U28) and [MFi](https://developer.apple.com/programs/mfi/) authentication chip (U29) on the actual EV3 that is not on the schematic. The firmware source code seems to indicate that this is used for the [iPhone/iPad/iPod Bluetooth](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17458987/is-mfi-chip-required-for-communication-with-ios-devices-over-serial-port-profile) mode somehow. So, this feature will be missing from your clone EV3.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have also just noticed that the &quot;3 SEC delay&quot; circuit on page 3 is not populated on the actual EV3. This is further evidence that the publicly available schematic is not the final revision.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One challenge you will face in building your own EV3 is that there is no PCB layout provided by LEGO, so you will have to do this yourself.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You will also have to find a replacement display. The LCD does not appear to be generally available. (I broke one and looked for a replacement several years ago. I ended up [replacing it with a color TFT](http://www.ev3dev.org/news/2015/07/24/Color-LCD-on-the-EV3/) instead.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, while we are on the subject, there is a BeagleBone cape called the [FatcatLab EVB](http://fatcatlab.com/product/evb/). There is an open source schematic for this as well. If you are really going to build your own EV3-like circuit board, it may be more appealing to copy this one because it has a faster processor and more memory.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Download leJOS:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Download and extract leJOS for Mac [as instructed here][7].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# 4. Setup environment:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You need to setup some environment variables [as vaguely specified here][8].

You should call customer support or write them a letter and encourage them to do so.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have gathered some information mostly from the (unofficial) [LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Facebook Page](https://www.facebook.com/groups/legomindstorms) and also discussions with other MINDSTORMS hackers. This list is most likely incomplete.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* v1.09H/E: Disable telnet service (security issue in response to [this](https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&amp;tl=en&amp;js=y&amp;prev=_t&amp;hl=en&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.heise.de%2Fsecurity%2Fartikel%2FAnalysiert-Lego-Mindstorms-fuer-Cyber-Angriffe-missbraucht-3055305.html&amp;edit-text=&amp;act=url) German language article on how malware was discovered running on an EV3).&#xD;&#xA;* v1.09D: This is a new &quot;developer&quot; version of the firmware available [on the LEGO Education website](https://education.lego.com/en-us/support/mindstorms-ev3/developer-kits) that has telnet enabled and there is now a password for `root` (see the readme.txt file that comes with the 1.09D firmware).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* v1.08H/E: Add support for the popular Edimax EW-7811UN Wi-Fi dongle.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* v1.07H/E: Add support for new Bluetooth chip shipping with newer EV3s (starting circa July 2015).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* v1.06H/E: Work around checksum bug on EV3 color sensor RGB mode (used by custom block from David Gilday on the [MindCuber](http://mindcuber.com/mindcub3r/mindcub3r.html))" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

[Bluetooth support is officially broken][1] and has been for a while. [There also hasn't been a new release in years][2], so a fix likely won't come. Otherwise it still works, if you jump through some hoops.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Guide:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## 1. Fantom Driver:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;First, you need to install the &quot;Fantom driver&quot;. You can find on [the Mindstorms download page][3].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Extract that ZIP, and you should have a installer package named `MAC legodriver.pkg`. Unfortunately, it may or may not install.

Legacy Java 6 with 32-bit support:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You need to install [Apple's legacy Java 6 package][5] with 32-bit support.

Download leJOS:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Download and extract leJOS for Mac [as instructed here][7].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# 4. Setup environment:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You need to setup some environment variables [as vaguely specified here][8]. You will want to add something like the following to your `.bash_profile`, `.profile`, or other shell startup script, adjusting the `NXJ_HOME` to where you extracted leJOS.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    # leJOS&#xD;&#xA;    export LEJOS_NXT_JAVA_HOME=&quot;/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home&quot;&#xD;&#xA;    export NXJ_HOME=&quot;/Users/&lt;USER&gt;/&lt;PATH_TO&gt;/LeJOS/leJOS_NXJ_0.9.1beta-3&quot;&#xD;&#xA;    export PATH=&quot;$PATH:$NXJ_HOME/bin&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(The `LEJOS_NXT_JAVA_HOME` variable is how you tell leJOS to use the legacy Java version.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# 5.

However, it may be possible to modify the standard remote using pieces you have or can get.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For example, the train remote has an axle hole in the round speed controllers. If you put in a technic axle, you can attach certain technic beams to it, which would act as a handle for turning the control. You need a beam with an axle hole, such as [this one](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=32009&amp;name=Technic,%20Liftarm%201%20x%2011.5%20Double%20Bent%20Thick&amp;category=%5BTechnic,%20Liftarm%5D#T=P)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/cCfDG.jpg&quot; width=&quot;300&quot;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/fvisj.jpg&quot; width=&quot;300&quot;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The holes in the side of the remote will accept technic pins and there are studs on the top, which would allow you to build a frame on the remote if you needed a more robust build or if you wanted to build a larger button that could activate the red stop button. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Moving the tiny directional control arrows is probably beyond what you could achieve with any Lego add-ons.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Adding structure around the remote to make it easier to manipulate will be much sturdier if you stick to using technic parts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I threw this together:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;which has a red liftarm beam for controlling the speed and a dark grey liftarm beam for the stop button. It's not perfect: the stop lever can be over-extended and flipped upwards so that it no longer engages, but it can be easily reset. The construction is pretty strong and not likely to fall apart.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If this sort of fix helps with your son's issues and you need more information about how I did it, what parts I used, etc, please don't hesitate to comment on this answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some technical details:&#xD;&#xA;The axle holes on the buttons line up directly with the holes in a technic beam but the built-in technic holes on the side of the remote are half a beam in from where the resulting platform lines up, hence, I had to first attach a half-beam to the remote on the side, then attach the 90-degree beams to that. I'm not much of a technic builder so there may be more elegant solutions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/yW0te.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The first is a program called [&lt;strike&gt;Dolphin&lt;/strike&gt; Brickr][1]. It works very well, as you can see in this image of Yoshi:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Yoshi Lego Sculpture][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;strike&gt;The downside to this program is that it only runs on Macs,&lt;/strike&gt; This runs on both Windows and Macs now and the output format is a series of images, one for each layer. So you can't import it into MLCAD or your favorite Lego building software. I was looking for something that uses the [.ldr format][4].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another program is [LSculpt][5]. This worked okay but I couldn't seem to get great results.&#xD;&#xA;I'll been using a 3D model of [Nautilus][6] for my examples. Here is a picture of the LSculpt results:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Nautilus Lego Sculpture][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The **black** version was created from [**LSculpt**][8] and the **blue** version was creating using my **alternate method**. It is also worth mentioning there is another technique, a [3ds Max][9] script called [Legolizer][10]. Unfortunately, I don't have 3ds Max so that wasn't an option for me. I wanted to do this using only open source software on Windows. Here is how you do it:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Step 1 - Scale your 3D model ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You need to scale your model down by a factor of `.833`. I used MeshLab and the process that it described in the [Dolphin manual][11].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Step 2 - Convert a 3D model into a binvox file ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is done using a program called `binvox.exe`. You can read about it and find the download link on this [minecraft wiki][12]. All you need to do is to download `binvox.exe` and then copy your 3D model into that folder. Open command prompt, `cd` into that folder, and run a command that looks something like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    binvox nautilus.obj -d 128 -rotz -rotz&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;`nautilus.obj` is the name of my 3D model, `-d 128` specifies the size (128 x 128 x 128 voxels), and `-rotz` and `-rotx` will rotate the model. **You will have to experiment to get the right rotation, or your bricks won't face up at the end.** You might want to start with `-d 32` to speed up the process until you get the orientation right, which you won't find out until the end. The output from this is a file with the name `nautilus.binvox`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Step 3 - Install Cygwin (optional if you know what you're doing) ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would recommend installing [cygwin][13] for the following steps, since that is what I used, but you don't necessarily need it. You just need a way to run `c++` and `Perl` programs. When you install it you can select packages, make sure you install the package named `perl` and the package named `gcc-g++`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Step 4 - Convert the binvox file to a readable txt file using `read_binvox` ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Download [this][14] program called [read_binvox][15]. Make sure it is saved as `read_binvox.cc`. Then copy your `.binvox` file into the same folder. Open Cygwin and `cd` into that folder. Then run&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    g++ read_binvox.cc -o read_binvox&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;to compile the program. Next, you can run it with&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    read_binvox nautilus.binvox&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will create an output file called `voxels.txt`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Step 5 - Convert `voxels.txt` into your .ldr file ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I wrote a program in `Perl` that will convert the `voxels.txt` into a `.ldr` file. Create a new file named `binvox2ldr.pl` in the same directory as your `voxels.txt` file. File it with the contents from [this pastebin][16].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then go back to that directory in cygwin and run the command:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    perl binvox2ldr.pl voxels.txt &gt; nautilus.ldr&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This may take a while to run, depending on what size you made the sculpture. The program uses a very basic algorithm for combining bricks together. It may have floating bricks, so I wouldn't recommend just using the parts list from that and expecting a secure, perfect model. But I think it could be a good way to start a design for a sculpture. The script could definitely use some more improvements, but it's a basic start.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Step 6 - Editing and Render ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can use [these instructions][17] from [ldraw.org][18] installing some tools for editing and rendering the sculpture. I used MLCAD to change the color and then rendered it using POV-RAY. Here's what it looks like:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Nautilus Lego render][19]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://lgg.epfl.ch/publications/2013/lego/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/fZ6FD.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LDraw&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://code.google.com/p/lsculpt/&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://www.lolking.net/models/?champion=111&amp;skin=0&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/R9zTo.png&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://code.google.com/p/lsculpt/&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: http://www.autodesk.com/education/free-software/3ds-max&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/legolizer&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: http://lgg.epfl.ch/projects/Lego_data/software/Manual.pdf&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Programs_and_editors/Binvox&#xD;&#xA;  [13]: http://www.cygwin.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [14]: http://www.patrickmin.com/binvox/read_binvox.cc&#xD;&#xA;  [15]: http://www.patrickmin.com/binvox/binvox.html&#xD;&#xA;  [16]: http://pastebin.com/359iPB5M&#xD;&#xA;  [17]: http://www.ldraw.org/article/104.html&#xD;&#xA;  [18]: http://www.ldraw.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [19]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/4pfGE.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I would advise the EV3 retail version. An NXT costs more than it should because it is getting difficult to find. You can buy additional motors and sensors separately in an official LEGO store or order them from the S@H website. The EV3 education kit cost more than it should because it's &quot;educational&quot;. You will not need to modify the Johnny 5 build much to accommodate for the different motors sensor and intelligent brick.  &#xD;&#xA;2. No, but you'll be able to view the NXT code in the new software and it shouldn't be to hard to reproduce the EV3 equivalent. The code blocks are similar.&#xD;&#xA;3. There is a new ultrasonic sensor (45504) just for the EV3 brick. It's sold as part of the educational kit but you can also buy it separately (which is in my opinion more cost effective). I suppose you could also modify the code to work with the EV3 IR sensor, but range and precision are significantly poorer for distance sensing. However with the IR, you can set it up to track the IR beacon, or you could use it as a remote control." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

And that its facial features should be happy and neutral . The figure would have no sex, race or role – these would be determined by the child’s imagination and play.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It then explains when and why they added colour for their licensed figures&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; With licensed products such as LEGO® Star Wars™ and LEGO® Harry Potter™ the figure began appearing in specific roles, and with LEGO Basketball in 2003 it took on authentic skin colours. In 2004 the LEGO minifigure assumed an even wider range of skin colours when it was decided that the figures in licensed products should resemble the original characters as closely as possible. One result was that the figures in LEGO Harry Potter™ changed from yellow to a more authentic skin colour.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first ones I remember seeing were indeed some of the NBA League characters as part of the Basketball theme in 2003, followed by the Star Wars products and then the Harry Potter sets in 2004.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lando Calrissian was one of the first to appear in the correct skin tone, amongst yellow Han and Leia:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Bespin Cloud City Box Art][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Followed later by pink characters for the rest. The [first Star Wars set in 2004](https://brickset.com/sets/theme-Star-Wars/year-2004) with flesh-toned figures was the [Millennium Falcon](https://brickset.com/sets/4504-1/Millennium-Falcon). By [2005](https://brickset.com/sets/theme-Star-Wars/year-2005) the transition for Star Wars was complete and all sets used flesh-toned figures.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of other colours, LEGO had already created various monster and alien figures with different coloured heads ranging from blues and greys through to transparent and even [transparent neon orange][3].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]:http://cache.lego.com/r/aboutus/-/media/About%20Us/Media%20Assets%20Library/Company%20Profiles/ts.20120420T123711.Company_profile_uk.pdf&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/YuF51.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=3626bpx76#T=C&amp;C=18" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Jamie Berard, then a relatively new designer in Billund gave an excellent presentation on why certain techniques are considered &quot;illegal&quot; in official sets. The basics message is that building techniques should:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - not stress the bricks&#xD;&#xA; - be suitable for the target audience of the set&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;He described in some detail the ways that Technic beams and regular system bricks can and cannot be combined in official sets. The main problem areas occur because:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Technic holes don't exactly line up with the studs on the sides of system bricks&#xD;&#xA; - the holes in Technic beams are slightly smaller than the ones in system bricks&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The implications are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Although system brick studs can be inserted in the holes in Technic beams, this should be avoided where it would be difficult for children to take apart. Jamie gives an example where a brick has a single stud inserted into a beam, and describes it as &quot;technically legal&quot; (but not recommended). This is the situation in your example.&#xD;&#xA; - Where the combination of Technic and system bricks results in an assembly where components interfere with each other, this can stress the parts. However, this is not the case in the example you cited.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;According to these rules, then, the example you give is *not* illegal. Clearly, it can be a problem under some circumstances, but is acceptable under others.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Unfortunately, none of this actually answers your original question, as there remain two possibilities:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Your assertion that &quot;at one point, LEGO didn't really support putting a stud into a Technic hole, stating that it caused too much stress on the bricks&quot; may not be correct. The misapprehension may have arisen because Lego emphasized the illegal uses of the technique, but down-played legal ones. In that case, we may assume that set designers simply chose not to use the technique (or were unaware that they could because they, too, were misguided).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 2. The alternative explanation is that LEGO did make a sweeping statement to this effect, but later realized that it needed clarification. In which case, Jamie's presentation in 2006 seems to be the first clear public statement of the more detailed rules (of course, internal designers might well have been aware of the policy tweak much earlier, but still chosen not to use the technique). If there was such a policy adjustment, this would establish why the technique was not used until recently.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Without the text of LEGO's earlier communications on the subject, it is difficult to know which explanation is the correct one. Either way, I'd urge you to look at the slides for Jamie's presentation. It is available online [in powerpoint format][1] and as a [pdf][2]. Apart from being an interesting read in their own right, they also make it clear that this single stud-in-a-hole has been legal since at least 2006.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://cache.lego.com/downloads/brickfest2006/brickstress.ppt&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://bramlambrecht.com/tmp/jamieberard-brickstress-bf06.pdf" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

NAND gates can be built, and the required logic can be implemented using NAND gates. The questions is primarily about how this can be achieved.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Logic gates in LEGO&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As [you can see here](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/112/6174) folks have put extensive work into creating logic gates in LEGO.  The [article referenced](http://web.archive.org/web/20120203015520/http://keshavsaharia.com/2011/05/29/lego-logic/) has AND and NOT gates.  You would need to put those together to get the aforementioned NAND gate.  If you're not familiar with logic gates it may be surprising that [NAND gates can do it all](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAND_logic).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Binary counters&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As [this articles shows](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Electronic/bincount.html) you can build a binary counter out of flip-flops and NAND's.  And as [wikipedia shows](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flip-flop_(electronics)) you can make a variety of flip-flops out of logic gates.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Now put it together&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm sorry there aren't LEGO-level instructions for making all of this happen, but hopefully those are enough leads for you to figure it out.  Good luck.  I hope you put this together and turn it into a lovely youtube video or article to show us all how you did it.  You'd probably be a hit too on the LEGO convention circuit.  You can do it." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Last year, I embarked on a bit of a history project to trace the design changes in Lego, by looking at the 2x4 brick, from 1949 to today. (Such as changes in the tubes, like the slots you mention!) I talked to several very helpful collectors (some here on Bricks beta!), who gave me lots of helpful information.&#xD;&#xA;I distilled it all down into this article:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://snakeandboris.blogspot.com/2016/06/a-short-history-of-lego-brick-1949_6.html&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(This link goes to Part 2 of the article, because it contains a link for Part 1.)&#xD;&#xA;Keep in mind, though, that not all dates with Lego changes are hard-and-fast.  You will see a few &quot;c.&quot; meaning it was AT or AROUND that time--because as Lego changed molds, they didn't do it all at once, across the whole world. They used the old molds for their normal lifespans.&#xD;&#xA;There are even MORE sub-variations than what I have found, and there are links at the end of my post to some other good sources of information.&#xD;&#xA;Good luck! One thing about this hobby I can tell you, there are lots of knowledgeable and kind folks to help you!&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

How on Earth do they manage that? Beneath these paths are cables that emit a low-level radio wave specific to each vehicle - the vehicle picks up this signal, and uses it to steer. When the vehicle reaches one of the charging points dotted around it's track, it stops. One of the computers registers this, and a timer is started. When the timer reaches zero, the power to the charger is cut, and this signals the vehicle to continue along it's path. Outside park opening hours, the vehicles stop on the charging points and recharge fully overnight.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The boats are attached to rubber loops, which can clearly be seen under the water. These are driven by motors controlled by the computers in the control centre.

How on Earth do they manage that? Beneath these paths are cables that emit a low-level radio wave specific to each vehicle - the vehicle picks up this signal, and uses it to steer. When the vehicle reaches one of the charging points dotted around it's track, it stops. One of the computers registers this, and a timer is started. When the timer reaches zero, the power to the charger is cut, and this signals the vehicle to continue along it's path. Outside park opening hours, the vehicles stop on the charging points and recharge fully overnight.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The trains work in a similar fashion to the road vehicles, but follow tracks instead of radio signals. When a train approaches a station, the train passes over 'slow down bars', which tell the onboard microprocessor to slow the motor. When it reaches a charging point, one of which is located at each station, a signal is sent to the control room, at which point a timer is started both in the control centre and in the train's microprocessor. Unlike the road vehicles, which can only go forward at a certain speed, the trains can go forwards, backwards, and vary their speed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The boats are attached to rubber loops, which can clearly be seen under the water.

By constantly I mean some reasonable number of times per second - 4, or something like that.  EV3 is considerably more powerful than NXT-G but you won't want to tax it too much with this, if the 'bot does anything else at the same time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The built-in PID stuff won't help with this at all - in fact, you'll want to do everything you can to ensure only your code is controlling the power levels of each motor, that nothing else is affecting them.

Over at http://www.brickpicker.com you will find an entire website (plus forum) dedicated to investing in LEGO sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The post-EOL rise in price of a set is driven by many factors, some of which are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Availability**&#xD;&#xA;If a set is only available for a limited time on store shelves (typically a year or less), it might see an increase in price after it retires. Alternatively, if a set is available for longer than a year, but frequently goes out of stock during its shelf life, it might also see an uptick in value post-EOL.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Exclusivity**&#xD;&#xA;Some sets are not available via all retail channels (and some are even more limited in distribution like the SDCC sets or the Employee Christmas Gifts). Typically, the more a set is limited to specific channels, the more likely it is to appreciate in value.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Desirability**&#xD;&#xA;Sets with broad appeal across multiple age groups, or of a subject matter that has a very loyal fan following (think Star Wars, the Beatles, anything Science related) typically do well post-retirement. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Collectibility**&#xD;&#xA;A lot of the post-retirement increase in price has to do with people collecting an entire theme. Often this collecting does not happen from the start of the theme, and people play catch-up to grab older sets that might have already retired. Some examples of this phenomenon are the early Modulars (Cafe Corner, Green Grocer), Series 1 Microfighters, Series 1 Speed Champions, and the early Star Wars UCS sets. A more recent example is the Elves Dragon eggs series, which had a short run and contained one set specifically which acted as the collection base of all eggs (41178 Dragon Sanctuary), which happened to have an extremely short shelf life (4 months in the US).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Rarity of parts**&#xD;&#xA;Finally, some sets see big post-retirement price gains because they contain rare or desirable parts. A key example of this is set 44027 Breez Flea Machine from the Hero Factory theme. This set commands a significant premium on the aftermarket purely due to the inclusion of 3 copies of part 92222 - Hero Factory Shield with Handle for Clip. 6 of these pieces are required to make the SDCC exclusive Bat Pod, which is much desired by collectors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;BUT, a big word of warning: for each of the above factors one can find sets that clearly show an increase in value but also numerous examples of sets that should have seen a sharp increase in value, but somehow didn't. Plus, with The LEGO Group's prepensity for set remakes, a set can see a climb in value, only to be followed by a plateau or even drop off following its initial increase. There are no sure-fire winners (and don't believe anyone who says they know one).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The term &quot;Minifig-scale&quot; is a fan term and is fairly loose, as the scale of the figs themselves don't really equate to reasonable human dimensions. Add to that the fact that minifig-scale vehicles and buildings have had variable relative sizes compared to minifigs, making it difficult to describe a standard scale that is officially used in LEGO sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are a few &quot;micro-scale&quot; sets, including [Micro Scale Space Cruiser][1], [Micro Scale][2], and [Micro Scale Bag End][3]. And, if you will forgive a bit of levity, there is the [Kitchen Scale][4].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My favorite scale that LEGO officially produced was the [Midi-scale Millennium Falcon][5]). However, they also did a [Midi-scale Star Destroyer][6] that is totally NOT the same scale as the Falcon. So, even in their official terminology the &quot;scale&quot; is a rather fluid thing. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For a more indepth discussion of scale, they had one over on the [Brickset Forums][7].

Some examples:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [54092cx1][1] - Plane nose&#xD;&#xA;* [30295][2] - Large car base&#xD;&#xA;* [6082][3] - BURP&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It seems to me that some part choices are quite strange. For example, [7346 - Seaside House][4] contains 2 1x2x2 bricks and 28 regular 1x2 bricks in medium blue. It doesn't seem like the double height bricks provide a much simpler or sturdier build, and the part is less reusable. I would have rather seen 1x2 bricks used throughout, especially since this is a Creator set, which focuses on being rebuildable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I also found it strange that they chose to use 1x2x2 bricks in two places, but kept 1x1 bricks stacked 5+ high in others. It seems that if the goal is to create a sturdier model, replacing these stacks with 1x1x5 bricks would have been a good place to start.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, I guess my question is: what goes into the decision of which specific parts to use in a production Lego model?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/54092cx1&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/30295&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/6082&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://brickset.com/detail/?set=7346-1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

In this regard I have the following questions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. In general, would you recommend switching to a normal programming language (I am quite &quot;fluent&quot; in languages like C/C++, Python and Java) in order to avoid having to use blocks when building more complex programs?&#xD;&#xA;2. If so, which programming language would you recommend? I feel like there is a big community for leJOS and Java which is definitely a plus, although I could imagine that considering the fact that I would like to integrate a camera a language like C/C++ that works well with MATLAB or OpenCV for line tracking algorithms might also not be bad - what do you think would be the best idea for my use case?&#xD;&#xA;3.

In general, would you recommend switching to a normal programming language (I am quite &quot;fluent&quot; in languages like C/C++, Python and Java) in order to avoid having to use blocks when building more complex programs?&#xA;&#xA;Yes, especially if you plan on doing image processing.&#xA;&#xA;&gt; 2. If so, which programming language would you recommend? I feel like there is a big community for leJOS and Java which is definitely a plus, although I could imagine that considering the fact that I would like to integrate a camera a language like C/C++ that works well with MATLAB or OpenCV for line tracking algorithms might also not be bad - what do you think would be the best idea for my use case?&#xA;&#xA;I'd recommend using [ev3dev][1], as it seems more-powerful and leJOS development appears inactive.&#xA;&#xA;ev3dev has [a few languages you can chose from][2], though your choice may be limited somewhat by which languages support the image processing libraries you want to use.&#xA;&#xA;&gt; 3. Is it possible to use a different programming language without flashing my EV3 such that I can switch back to building blocks if I wanted to?&#xA;&#xA;With ev3dev, you run the software off a removable micro SD card. No need to replace the internal firmware.&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.ev3dev.org/&#xA;  [2]: http://www.ev3dev.org/docs/programming-languages/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The bricks inside were mostly white, with some of the smaller ones sporting a red cross and/or the word emergency in black on them. The majority of the bricks had six studs on top and six holes underneath - totally different from the Lego, Betta Bilda etc blocks I have seen on this site and while searching online. The bricks had slightly rounded edges rather than the hard, straight edges of bricks such as Lego. No figures or parts to make people were included, but there were little red door and window frames for the hospital. There was even a little round red boss to attach the helicopter's four rotor blades to. As a child I simply called my blocks 'lego'... but I doubt very much that it was a Lego set, having seen that Lego pieces are different. Any ideas?" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It was a 3-foot box of building bricks and the front picture showed you could construct a hospital building and a helicopter. The bricks inside were mostly white, with some of the smaller ones sporting a red cross and/or the word emergency in black on them. The majority of the bricks had six studs on top and six holes underneath - totally different from the LEGO, Betta Bilda etc blocks I have seen on this site and while searching online. The bricks had slightly rounded edges rather than the hard, straight edges of bricks such as LEGO. No figures or parts to make people were included, but there were little red door and window frames for the hospital. There was even a little round red boss to attach the helicopter's four rotor blades to.

In the years 10 or so years it has become more common for LEGO to produce vehicles 6 or 8 studs wide so I assumed it was a fairly old set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To identify these two pieces I used the [catalogue search on Bricklink][4], if I didn't know the name of these pieces I could have search by category, or if I knew the piece number (found often on the bottom of many parts) I could have searched for that two.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Every piece on Bricklink has a list of 'Known Colors', the steering wheel had 222 set entries for the colour blue and the steering wheel had the minifgure seat had 68 results for the colour blue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Known Colours list][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I sorted the list by selecting 'Year Released' to 'Up' so that I would see the oldest sets first and set the preview mode to 'List with Images' so that I could see both a photo of the set and relevant information. (I also recommend using  'Thumbnail Gallery').&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Bricklink piece search results][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;**General Tips**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- The colours that I consider 'standard' are Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Black and White. These colours are probably the most common and are almost always included in bulk brick buckets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Around **2004**, the colour of light/dark grey and brown bricks were changed slightly. Modern grey bricks are often known as 'bley' because of their blueish tint. **Related:** [What is the bley (blay) color?][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Minifigure Tips**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- There was only one variation of the head for Minifigures prior to **1989**, the [classic smile head][8]. This piece continues to be used for classic releases as well as Modular sets although it is not as common. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Minifigures with two-sided heads were only first available in **2001**.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- The first minifigures with realistic skin tones were released in **2003**. Only yellow minifigures were available previously. **Related:** [Why do some minifigs have yellow heads and some are flesh colored?][9]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [Microfigures][10] were first released in **2009**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/K4aCH.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4079&amp;name=Minifig,%20Utensil%20Seat%202%20x%202&amp;category=%5BMinifig,%20Utensil%5D#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3829c01&amp;name=Vehicle,%20Steering%20Stand%201%20x%202%20with%20Black%20Steering%20Wheel&amp;category=%5BVehicle%5D#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogTree.asp?itemType=P&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/9Rvv6.png&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/0O0nb.png&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/238/what-is-the-bley-blay-color&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3626bp01#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/287/why-do-some-minifigs-have-yellow-heads-and-some-are-flesh-colored&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/microfigure" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I'm not sure whether I should sell my set at all vs. keep it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I am currently spending a year in Israel and have started to recover my lego collection from my parents. Since I was a TeenageFOL/AFOL, as opposed to most people in their so-called &quot;dark ages&quot;, I actually managed to keep hold of 99% of my former collection, which I'm guessing rivals some serious AFOLs' collections.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I estimate the collection approximately 25K pieces (not including approx. 3500 more that I currently have in the U.S., the bulk of the pieces are from the S.H.I.E.L.D. carrier). Here is a set list (last updated in 2001, hah):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://guide.lugnet.com/set/mlist.cgi?m=88&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I am now torn between the following options:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Bring the collection to the U.S. ...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;a. ... for self-use, for me &amp; my daughter as she grows up.&#xD;&#xA;This is possible, though it currently feels overwhelming due to the magnitude of the collection. Given its size, it feels like I would probably need to dedicate an entire room to it. Not exactly what I had in mind for my real estate needs, to be dictated by LEGO (though I'm 100% sure others in this community have done so!!!). I do not currently have a dedicated room in my house to do so. Also, I'm not really sure whether I would actually be drawn to building with it, as my hobbies have shifted over the years and are quite distinct from lego, though I will always love it. Also I know that it could be a huge gift to my daughter... but only if I can balance the desire to keep things meticulously sorted, and the tendency to jealously guard against messes and just general fun playing/building/destruction. I've seen that the ginormous amount of pieces is simply overwhelming for a child at her age (close to 4)... or almost any age.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;b. ... and keep it in storage. This seems like a futile exercise, since it would probably cost me a fair amount in shipping costs. I do, however, have sufficient space for this without any additional changes to my current home. (Unfinished basement + outdoors shed if need be)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Sell the collection...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;a. From Israel: that would allow me to save on two rounds of shipping&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;b. From the U.S.: I'm guessing that might give me much better options for buyers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;c. In bulk: would save a ton of time &amp; energy. But clearly the collection will not be worth as much in bulk.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;d. Sorted into sets and/or individual pieces: obviously should bring in more money but gosh, what a time sink. I'm a busy professional mom who hasn't spent any meaningful amount of time on Lego in years. Plus, I'm guessing there will be some or even many parts missing / discolored / damaged which will lower the value of the set-separated collection without further investment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Leave the collection in Israel, i.e. at my parents' house, for the grandkids' enjoyment (but not my daughter). This risks further messiness / degradation of the collection by my nieces and nephews. Has the clear upside of avoiding headaches of all types, and the clear downside of letting go of huge amounts of money and love poured into the collection over my T/AFOL years.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've read a lot of posts on this SE so far, which have been very helpful. Following that, I plan on using Peeron and/or Brickpicker to estimate the value of the sets I own, if sorted, to decide whether I'd like to sell it at all, and whether it's worth the time to sort (I'm guessing that aside from a few sets such as 10001, the answer is probably not). I really appreciate a few people mentioning the low reputation issue for selling on eBay, which I'll pay attention to should I decide to put up some of the rarer / more valuable sets for sale.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you had to suggest a course of action from those I described above, which would you gravitate to?"

Suppose we want to line up two 8 tooth gears. Start by placing two axles and one of the gears...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![unaligned][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since there are 8 teeth on the gear, we can figure out that the teeth are 360° / 8 = **45°** apart. So, to put the next gear on, the space between the teeth of the second gear needs to line up with the tooth of the first gear. This space is half way between the teeth, so we need to rotate the axle 45° / 2 = **22.5°** to make them line up. Select the hinge tool, then select the axle that does not have a gear yet. Notice that the hinge tool allows you to enter numeric values directly....&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![hinge tool][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The axle is already at -180°, so we need to rotate it +/- 22.5° from there. Let's say, we want to rotate it clockwise. In mathematics, counterclockwise is positive, but apparently in LDD, clockwise is positive, so we need to add. We simply type in -180° + 22.5° = **-157.5°**...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![hinge tool again][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, the axle is exactly where it needs to be to add another 8 tooth gear...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![gear and axle aligned][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are no collisions preventing the gear from being placed...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![two gears aligned][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, the second gear is precisely aligned, making it easy to place additional gears.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Tip:** All (modern) LEGO gears come with multiples of 4 teeth, so adding a gears at right angles will line up the same as gears in a straight line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/fajUM.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Co143.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/DVVBm.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/a2wxv.png&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Ee8Ei.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This includes cross track, bridges, switches, and inclines.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Cross track&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as I know, this was never released for either RC or PF trains. As you noted, there was a cross track part for the 9V trains. If you aren't aware, 9V, RC, and PF track is mechanically compatible, the only difference is that 9V track has metal rails. If you don't mind the look of metal rails on your cross track when the rest of your track is plastic, the 9V crossing should work fine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Bridges&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You are correct that there aren't dedicated train bridges. You are left to build whatever you like.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can make anything from a simple bridge that just holds up the track like this one based on the Unofficial LEGO Technic Builder's Guide ([source][1]):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![simple bridge][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Or you can create something elaborate like this bridge from the 2006 NMRA show:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![bigger bridge][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Sloping Track&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;LEGO does not produce sloping track for the common train gauge. There is sloping track for the 4-stud gauge, but I doubt you will have much use for it. Aside from the tiny gauge, it is also too steep to climb for normal trains. Here's what it looks like:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![sloped for gauge track][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Monorails did use sloped track, so if you don't mind mixing those into your layout, they could be an easy option. Here's an example of elevated track from 6399:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![6399][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can also build your own inclines, but keep in mind that it takes quite a bit of space. You can't do much more than 2 plates of incline per track section for most trains.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Switches&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Each era of trains has had switches, so this is not an issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Double switches&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other than the one you mentioned, I don't think this has ever been released before. It seems like it would be pretty difficult to build custom track from parts, and this would very challenging to build.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Example layouts&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sets often come with example layouts including which track pieces that you need. Here's one example from an old 12V set:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![official track examples][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's a similar example from a 9V set:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![9V official track examples][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'll just leave you with this cool [12V layout video][8].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://phoxtane.deviantart.com/art/Train-Bridge-V1-MOC-Lego-Trains-347497336&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/rDyJI.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Mzzkv.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/7JSO8.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/fCr2d.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/KL3Lh.png&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Z4Ql1.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcSbxAU672w" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

First, the smooth tiles:&#xD;&#xA;[![underside of smooth tiles][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now the &quot;brushed&quot; tiles:&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You notice the groove above the word LEGO on the smooth tiles that the brushed tiles don't have. The number 3068 is of course the same on both. There is a lot number (?) in the format XX-YY with YY being underlined.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The smooth tiles all have XX-57 with varying XX (right hand side), the brushed tiles all have XX-49 with varying XX (lower side, next to the &quot;3068&quot;).  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, what does that mean?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One observation: inside the bottom tube, the surface shows a structure in the smooth tiles, but no structure in the &quot;brushed&quot; tiles. This could mean that the 3068 tile consists of two pieces that are hot-glued together in the process: One part covering the upper surface and sides, and another piece with the bottom tube and inside. The upper, covering part (from which small pieces are stamped out) may itself have an upper and lower side with slightly differing roughness. Maybe the production process doesn't prefer which side is up, so sometimes a rough side can be seen, and sometimes not. This is only a theory. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Can someone point towards an answer?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/LZvnh.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/RrdKQ.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/mZos2.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/3xiKy.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Rebrickable also provides all set inventories for offline use via its [download page][6].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## [Bricklink Inventory Reference][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Bricklink probably provides the most complete and up to date set inventory data. These inventories are also very detailed and include extra parts, sticker sheets, etc. If you are a seller on Bricklink, you can also part out sets into your inventory which could be useful to you at some point.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Brickset / Lego.com&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;TLG provides nearly complete inventories for sets online via the [replacement parts page][3]. You can use this to get part information from your sets, but the interface is lacking because this isn't really what the page is meant for.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Brickset][4] provides this same part data in a format which is much better for viewing. Simply search for a set and use the &quot;Parts&quot; tab to view contents if they are available.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These resources have a couple of downsides:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. They only include relatively new sets.&#xD;&#xA;2.

(Models in Legoland Miniland are subjected to year-round weather. The chemicals in the plastic bricks are broken down by UV light.)&#xD;&#xA; - **Heat** — Keep bricks at room temperature in a dry place (like a cupboard). The melting point of a brick at 105 °C (221 °F) shouldn't be a concern.&#xD;&#xA; - **Dust** — Store bricks in air-tight containers. Dust is notoriously difficult to clean, especially around the studs of a brick. Whilst dust has no serious long-term effects on Lego, it saves a lot of time cleaning the bricks in the future.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Special Parts##&#xD;&#xA; - **Electronics** — Always remove batteries from electronics when put into long-term storage. Over time the batteries may corrode, leaving a sticky mess that can be difficult to clean.&#xD;&#xA; - **Rubber** — Technic rubber bands and other pieces made of rubber will degrade over time when exposed to light and oxygen. Keep rubber bands in an airtight bag.&#xD;&#xA; - **Stickers** — [How should I store unused stickers?][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd save these last two points for LEGO merchants or casual online shoppers:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Smoke** — Keep bricks away from cigarette smoke. It can be very hard to remove damage from bricks, and may discolour them as well as leaving a faint odour. &#xD;&#xA; - **Pet Hair** — If you plan on selling your LEGO bricks in the future, you may find some buyers have allergies to certain pets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/q/547/132&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/1043/132" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The five main characters all still exist, but they have been changed somewhat. This was brought up on the Lego Ambassador Network, and generated enough interest to get an official response from the Friends team in Billund:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Every year we strive to innovate and make our products even better for&#xD;&#xA;&gt; children all over the world. A lot of effort has gone into the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; development of the LEGO characters and universes across our entire&#xD;&#xA;&gt; product range, so it makes us very happy  when changes are noticed.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; LEGO Friends in 2018 looks a bit different than what it has in the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; past. To be specific, the 5 main characters have a slightly different&#xD;&#xA;&gt; look but also the city and the citizens of Heartlake City have&#xD;&#xA;&gt; changed.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; But what are the reasons for the change?&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Firstly, we want to assure you that all 5 friends are still there in&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 2018. Andrea, Mia, Emma, Stephanie and Olivia – they all still exist! Also the character’s main interests and personalities remain mainly&#xD;&#xA;&gt; unchanged.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; What you will see in 2018 is an evolution of LEGO Friends, a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; progression of the story and characters to make sure children get an&#xD;&#xA;&gt; even greater play experience. Every year more than a million children&#xD;&#xA;&gt; and parents reach out to us and share what they love and what they&#xD;&#xA;&gt; would like to change. In the LEGO Friends range children told us that&#xD;&#xA;&gt; they would like even more differentiated characters and also suggested&#xD;&#xA;&gt; improvements to Heartlake City.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; We always take great care to listen to input from children, and the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; LEGO Friends team has worked hard to make even more engaging and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; relevant experiences for children – and also make the LEGO Friends&#xD;&#xA;&gt; universe more true to the actual world children live in.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Taking a starting point in reality, we’ve made the characters more&#xD;&#xA;&gt; diverse in their appearance and have added more depth to their&#xD;&#xA;&gt; personality. And of course, they still live in Heartlake City. But&#xD;&#xA;&gt; just as the characters have changed, Heartlake City has become more&#xD;&#xA;&gt; differentiated and rich. There are different districts and there are&#xD;&#xA;&gt; other citizens that play a more active role in the story.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; The changes we have made does not change the fact that previous and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; new LEGO Friends sets will cater for great building and play&#xD;&#xA;&gt; experience in 2018 and beyond, and we hope to inspire even more&#xD;&#xA;&gt; stories and play opportunities for children in the future."

The reason for this is that LDraw uses the ideal sizes of bricks for its library. This is convenient for collision boxes in the theoretical world, but in reality, Lego has to make parts slightly smaller so that they fit between each other easily. As you mentioned, this tolerance is about .1mm per side, so we're in the right neighborhood with our calculations.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In addition, most things in LDraw end up rounded to 1 LDU, so measurements have a tolerance of around +/- .2mm. Most Lego parts fit very nicely into a 1 LDU grid, so this isn't usually an issue. I'm not sure what level of precision you require, but my hunch is that the LDraw library will get you close enough for your needs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Good luck with your project, and let us know if we can help with anything else!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.ldraw.org&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.ldraw.org/library/official/parts/6141.dat&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://ldraw.org/article/218.html&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.brickwiki.info/wiki/LDraw_unit&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/3DSUR.png&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Taj1w.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It's outer wall is represented by:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    1 16 0 0 0 10 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 10 4-4cylo.dat&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, it's a cylinder with a 10 LDU radius and 3 LDU height:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Middle ring diameter** = 2 * 10 LDU * .4mm = 8mm&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Middle ring height** = 3 LDU * .4mm = 1.2mm&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Checking our work&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The height of the base and the middle ring sum to 8 LDU, which is good because this is the correct height for a plate like this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you noted, you expected the outer ring to be 7.8mm, but I calculated it as 8.0mm. The reason for this is that LDraw uses the ideal sizes of bricks for its library. This is convenient for collision boxes in the theoretical world, but in reality, Lego has to make parts slightly smaller so that they fit between each other easily. As you mentioned, this tolerance is about .1mm per side, so we're in the right neighborhood with our calculations.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In addition, most things in LDraw end up rounded to 1 LDU, so measurements have a tolerance of around +/- .2mm. Most Lego parts fit very nicely into a 1 LDU grid, so this isn't usually an issue. I'm not sure what level of precision you require, but my hunch is that the LDraw library will get you close enough for your needs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Good luck with your project, and let us know if we can help with anything else!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.ldraw.org&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.ldraw.org/library/official/parts/6141.dat&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://ldraw.org/article/218.html&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.brickwiki.info/wiki/LDraw_unit&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/3DSUR.png&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Taj1w.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It all comes down to computer vision.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In [this solution][1], Akiyuki built a massive machine out of LEGO bricks, a camera, a scale, 2 Mindstorm NXT and, which he fails to mention in is parts list, a computer and some electronics.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Computer vision is complex, and making a working prototype is still an impressive task. Even though the software component of this project is most probably the reuse of an existing solution like [OpenCV][3], there are many other problems to overcome. For example; Mechanically bringing the parts to the camera one by one in a controlled fashion. Also if the part is not laying down from a recognisable angle, you would probably have to flip it or take pictures with multiple cameras in order to get a good look at it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Still, being a software developer myself, this is not the part that worries me.  Even if you manage to build the whole machine, you still need to compare the pictures with a library of all the known LEGO bricks. Even more, they need to be imaged from all possible sides (when laying down).  Building this knowledge base is a big endeavour on its own.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here is [a video of the working machine][5].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you can reduce the complexity of parts to sort it can really help.

If you can see a gap I would put studs to fill the gap to make the most out of your cup.

This is a trick I learned from someone who professionally works with LEGO. The lower angle makes it easier to go under the lip of the tiles and it is much less damaging on the brick separator, as you are more pushing and sliding rather than digging and prying. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To be clear, instead of holding the brick separator with the LEGO logo and the Technic pin on top, turn the brick separator upside down. You will notice that this transforms the angle of the tip into a little ramp that you can slide under the lip of the tiles. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For flat tiled surfaces, like the one on your picture, the upside down brick separator works very well, with no to very little damage to the brick separator. However, notice that this method also requires more space, as the brick separator need to lie more flatly against the surface. For tighter spaces, like when you have a wall around the tiled surface, you would still use the brick separator right side up, as the different angle of the tip requires less space for removing tiles.

Here's how Wikipedia describes their use as current limiters:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; When first connected to a voltage source, a large current&#xD;&#xA;&gt; corresponding to the low, cold, resistance flows, but as the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; thermistor self-heats, the current is reduced until a limiting current&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (and corresponding peak device temperature) is reached. The&#xD;&#xA;&gt; current-limiting effect can replace fuses.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I only have a basic multimeter and a few fixed voltages handy at the moment, so I'm not able to derive the precise characteristics of this device. I was able to measure the following:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Open circuit resistance is 4 ohms&#xD;&#xA;- Short circuit current at 12V is ~50ma.&#xD;&#xA;- Short circuit current at 10V is ~50ma.&#xD;&#xA;- Short circuit current at 8.3V is ~60ma.&#xD;&#xA;- Short circuit current at 5V is ~100ma.&#xD;&#xA;- Short circuit current at 3.3V is ~120ma.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The tolerances on these parts are pretty loose, but for mine the maximum it can supply consistently in series with a motor is about 150mA. If I keep current above this for long, the thermistor begins to heat and total current decreases due to the limiting.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It might seem odd that the max constant current I was able to sustain is greater than the short circuit current, but this is due to the fact that this component is effectively limiting the amount of *power* it dissipates, and not the amount of *current* it passes. Power is the product of current and voltage, so because some voltage is dropped by the load, it is able to handle a current higher when loaded than it is able to when shorted.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Physical example&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As a point of reference if milliamps aren't very familiar to you, in my testing I was able to cause the clutch gear (60c01) to slip indefinitely on 43362c01 with the thermistor in series.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![60c01][3]][3] [![43362c01][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This drew about 100mA for me. So, you can drive most of the lighter 9v parts just fine. The current limiting will kick in at about half the stalled current for most of the motors. Larger PF motors, and especially the RC buggy motor, will not be able to reach their full potential with the overload protection in place on this battery box.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermistor#PTC_(Positive_temperature_coefficient)&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/WT06x.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ychfi.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/WVLPB.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Our local Goodwill said they just dump them in the citywide recycling. We cried, then called the city recycling program, and they said they painstakenly sort them out, then dump in the landfill. We cried some more, then started this great program to give &quot;the world's most awesome toy&quot; a chance a 2nd life.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;LEGO pieces will not decompose even after 100,000 years, which makes them an excellent choice to &quot;pass along to a curious child&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We will be posting more details and actual emails from many curbside recycling centers soon."

Wheels on one side of the car seem to work sporadically. Could this be related to the steering joint and Cardan joint below?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Steering joint][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;[![cardan joint][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Or the differentials?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![differential][5]][5] (image taken from https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/3065/is-it-possible-to-create-a-differential-if-i-dont-have-it-as-a-ready-to-use-ele)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. It's too weak.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A wool carpet of 2cm thick is an insurmountable problem for the car to ... claim on it and go, especially for the last wheel or pair of wheels that have to pass the carpet's border (and difference in level), regardless which ones have to do it (back or front).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Are there too many differentials? Too many tooth gears? Too much elastic parts to deal with the torque? I can't find parts blocked.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The driving ring 2L, &#xD;&#xA;[![driving ring 2L][8]][8],&#xD;&#xA;at the page 28 of [the building instructions][6], should act as differential to switch between 2 x 4 and 4 x 4.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Could it be a defective motor? Is one XL motor too weak? Would be more powerful with two motors (in the back)? Which kind?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Batteries are OK for 9398, so it's not them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Did anybody tried this MOC?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sorry to have too much questions, it seems I need more experience with LEGO Technic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**UPDATE**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have changed it consistently, adding a gear down for each wheel (horizontally) and that made it 4L longer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, moved the steering motor in front and the up/down and winch motor in the middle (switched their places), using a servo for steering.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As result, it is a bit more powerful, it claims the carpet now, but I need to work more on the steering because it is not that smooth when it comes back in the default position. 9398 is better at going back to the default steering position. Also, 9398 is more powerful as it gears down 3 times instead of one.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Overall, the new design feels better, yet too lazy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.moc-pages.com/moc.php/340947&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-0308/unroller/8297-4x4-offroader-rc/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6Wcq4.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/3pL4B.png&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/MrrWk.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://rebrickable.com/external/view/?action=BI&amp;url=https%3A//docs.google.com/open%3Fid%3D0B6p_C0b8jM_ySTJXS1V3WFNPaG8&amp;designer_id=4313&amp;set_num=MOC-0308&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/J8G5z.png&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/uXgD0.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Here`s a blurb about their current design process : &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Primary concept and development work takes place at the Billund&#xD;&#xA;&gt; headquarters, where the company employs approximately 120 designers.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The company also has smaller design offices in the UK, Spain, Germany,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; and Japan, which are tasked with developing products aimed&#xD;&#xA;&gt; specifically at these markets. &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; The average development period for a new product is around twelve&#xD;&#xA;&gt; months, in three stages. &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; The first stage is to identify market trends and developments,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; including contact by the designers directly with the market; some are&#xD;&#xA;&gt; stationed in toy shops close to holiday periods, while others&#xD;&#xA;&gt; interview children. &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; The second stage is the design and development of the product based&#xD;&#xA;&gt; upon the results of the first stage. As of September 2008 the design&#xD;&#xA;&gt; teams use 3D modeling software to generate CAD drawings from initial&#xD;&#xA;&gt; design sketches. &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; The designs are then prototyped using an in-house stereolithography&#xD;&#xA;&gt; machine. These are presented to the entire project team for comment&#xD;&#xA;&gt; and for testing by parents and children during the &quot;validation&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; process. Designs may then be altered in accordance with the results&#xD;&#xA;&gt; from the focus groups. &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Virtual models of completed Lego products are built concurrently with&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the writing of the user instructions. Completed CAD models are also&#xD;&#xA;&gt; used in the wider organization, such as for marketing and packaging.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Source : [wikipedia][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;## How people do it themselves&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;LEGO provide software that does just that.

The rechargeable battery puts out almost the same voltage  until it's almost flat, and whatever current is required with little voltage drop. Disposable batteries have more voltage, but cheap ones can't supply much current. Expensive ones can supply the current, but cost more. You'd be lucky to get 5 sets of those for the cost of a rechargeable battery.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that the IR controllers / receivers limit the output voltage to 9V and the current to what the motors can cope with,so there's a limit to how much performance you can get out of the system. But disposable batteries will sit at 9V at least initially, where the rechargeable battery will drop from nearly 8V to 6V as it discharges. If you buy expensive lithium single-use AAA batteries they will cope with the high currents demanded by the LEGO motors for longer, so you will get better performance than any other option, but at considerable cost.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[This thread on Eurobricks][1] has a lot of detail, and there's [more here][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The third option is to build your own battery packs. Either just by plugging &quot;random&quot; batteries into the IR receiver, or by modifying a LEGO battery pack to take different cells. It's apparently fine to put three lithium rechargeable cells in series into one, or 8-9 NiMH ones. If you start with a 6AA battery box it's easy to fit 8 AAA NiMH cells in, or either box can be modified to accept three LiIon cells (you need the right size cells, obviously). Some of the Technic builders are just making packs with three 18650 cells and not worrying about making it look like LEGO, but there are quite a few who build extra cells into official battery packs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=45963&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=41779" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It's beta, somewhat buggy, and for all I can see it was written by just one AFOL in his spare time, and the development has stopped. But it's very easy to use, quite versatile, and I am more than happy with the results. Here's what it looks like:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![LIC](https://i.stack.imgur.com/8vzZf.png)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Scroll down for sample images of the final instructions for two models.)&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Basically, it's a WYSIWYG editor that takes an [LDraw][4] model as input. And a surprisingly powerful one at that. Some of the things you can do with it are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* switch between vertical and horizontal layout;&#xD;&#xA;* add, delete, or merge steps;&#xD;&#xA;* move individual parts between the steps;&#xD;&#xA;* move everything around the page freely;&#xD;&#xA;* rotate individual parts or the entire model, automatically adding rotation icons if you wish;&#xD;&#xA;* &quot;displace parts with arrows&quot; (just like in TLG's instructions, where the part has not been connected to the model yet, but an arrow shows where it's supposed to go and which way around)&amp;nbsp;— this can be done in any direction, up or down, left and right, top and bottom, and for several parts, too;&#xD;&#xA;* make a template for your instructions (things like fonts, font sizes, background color, and so on and so forth), so instructions for different models have the same, your very personal, look and feel;&#xD;&#xA;* add text labels such as part counts, your name, really anything.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;LIC will also automatically create a parts list as the last page of the instructions. Allegedly it can also export to PDF, and integrates with POV-Ray for higher-quality images, but sadly neither of these options works for me (as I said, there are some bugs). Might work on a different machine, though, or a more recent OS. I don't know.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So anyway, my complete toolchain looks as follows:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. [MLCAD/LDraw][5] for modelling. It has a steep learning curve, but once you have figured it out, it's a breeze. &#xD;&#xA;2. Then I feed the LDraw model into LIC, which generates a draft of the instructions and allows me to fine-tune them interactively.&#xD;&#xA;3. Then I save the instructions as images and do some final retouching in [GIMP][6] - moving stuff around a couple pixels, adding photos, stitching pages together, etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The final result can be seen on [my Brickshelf][7]. Here are just two sample pages:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![LEGO crocodile](https://i.stack.imgur.com/FSedm.png)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![LEGO donkey](https://i.stack.imgur.com/IQTNh.png)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All tools I mentioned are free and available for download.

Purple is the most notorious Lego color for having a great deal of variance between bricks, and red is not surprisingly, also inconsistent at times.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To add to the mix, Lego is changing its formulas over time to keep costs down, and to make the bricks more durable and consistent. Earlier ABS bricks where stiffer and more brittle than modern bricks. They have more of a tomato red color, and are easy to spot next to modern bricks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;UV damage can alter the color of bricks over time, although this can be fixed with oxyclean + h202.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, I believe that Lego will internally recycle 'bad' batches of bricks, grinding up and melting down ABS from lots that don't pass QA. This probably also affects brick color. I had a friend who made the pilgrimage to Billund to see the main plant. He told me about how they have a display that shows the casting of bricks to visitors, and it re-uses plastic for the demonstration. I recall that he commented on how the plastic colors were slightly odd looking, presumably because it had been recast so often.

The old RCX was orientated towards &quot;old-style&quot; Technic that used a mixture of pins and studs while the newer NXT and EV3 are orientated towards new-style Technic that mostly uses pins.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of Electrics things are more of a mess.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;LEGO has had various electric systems over the years, broadly speaking there are.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. The 4.5V/12V system, this is ancient and completely incompatible with Mindstorms. This used plugs with two pins, sometimes with a central bump.&#xD;&#xA;2. The &quot;electric system 9V&quot;, inroduced in 1990 and used for motorising many Technic sets. Also used by the RCX. This used contacts built into the top of lego studs.&#xD;&#xA;3. The NXT/EV3 system this uses a RJ style connector but with the clip in a different position from normal.&#xD;&#xA;4. The &quot;Power functions&quot; system, introduced in 2007 and has now mostly replaced the &quot;electric system 9V&quot;. This uses a custom connector with two lego studs and a custom contact block next to them that is roughly 1x2 but won't stack with lego bricks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lego sold an adapter cable to go from the NXT to &quot;electric system 9V&quot; part number 8528. Unfortunately it is no longer sold. They also sell two different lengths of extension/adapter cables which can be used either to extend power functions or to connect power functions to &quot;electric system 9V&quot; part numbers 8886 and 8871. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It seems that Lego never made an adapter to go directly from the NXT to power functions though you can connect the NXT to power functions motors by combining the two adapters above.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also it seems that the EV3 is not really compatible with the Lego adapter cable, apparently sensors won't work at all and motors will only work with special software hacks. There is discussion of this and possible workarounds with custom cables at https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/2325/how-to-use-power-functions-with-mindstorms-ev3 and https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/8112/use-legacy-rcx-sensors-with-ev3?noredirect=1&amp;lq=1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I contacted Lego and they sent me 43 new tiles. Great, but still the same mistake. I contacted them again and, Lego service being Lego service, again they sent me 43 new tiles. Great again, but still the same phenomena again. So I ended up with 86 additional bricks that I found not fitting to the Lego quality standards that I`m used to. There was also no explanation or comment from Lego service.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My question is what is causing this strange scratches? The appearance is not consistent.

Or for non-rechargeable batteries: are they all functioning (new, not expired, no chemical leaking damage)? If one single battery is dead or defective, it can prevent current to pass. If you have another set of fresh (or fully charged) batteries, try using these (but see also the step below).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Second: verify proper battery placement.**&#xD;&#xA;The Lego battery box requires the batteries in each sub compartment to be oriented *the same way* ([all tops pointing in the same direction][1] - no battery should have &quot;inverted&quot; orientation). Check that you placed the batteries in the battery box with the right orientation and with the proper polarity (as indicated in the battery box).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*As a side note - I always put a piece of plastic sheet ribbon (used in gift wrappings) in each side of the battery box compartment prior to adding batteries; this facilitates subsequent removal of depleted batteries. You can remove the last battery by pulling both ends of the ribbon.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Third: verify that the battery box works properly.**&#xD;&#xA;If batteries are healthy and battery polarity is correct, then first test the battery box *unattached*. The orange slider has 3 positions: on-off-on (either 'on' reverses the polarity for the motors attached). When the slider goes left or right (either 'on' position), the green indicator LED light should remain on.  When the slide goes into the middle position (off), the LED indicator should remain off. If this fails, contact Lego to supply you a spare battery box.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Fourth: verify that the motor works properly.**&#xD;&#xA;It is wise to test the battery box and motors prior to assembling any motorized model. If you know the motor previously worked, and you have access to another unused motor, test your battery box with that other motor.

It was produced between 1966 an 1986 and was used to power motors and lights in [a wide variety][1] of trains, technic, basic and even DUPLO sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Coexisting with this system, **a 12V standard** for LEGO Trains was introduced in 1969 and produced until 1993. The power was supplied by DC Transformer. There is no electrical compatibility between 12V and 4.5V components, and the higher voltage can damage the lower-rated parts. In addition to motors and lights, an assortment of other [12V accessories][7] were available such as automatic switch points. The 12V system had [two wires](http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/x466) or three wires [for track switches](http://www.peeron.com/inv/sets/708-1).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**9V** became the LEGO standard in the early 90s. There were a several different power sources, such as a single 9V battery, 6x 1.5V batteries and a DC Transformer (used exclusively for trains). The 9V system is electrically incompatible with either the 4.5V or 12V systems, but as I understand it, 9V components are electrically compatible with each other. 9V was a 2-wire system. Philo's [web site][2] provides electrical details of a variety of 9V motors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For trains, the **RC** system was introduced in 2006, the previous 9V system being phased out the following year. The RC system was again a 2-wire 9V system.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Power Functions (PF)** use a 4-wire system, the outer two wires providing power and the inner two control functions. Once again, it is nominally a 9V system, although it will cope with some variation to accommodate various types of batteries. For example, the 88000 AAA Battery Box uses 6 x AAA to supply up to about 9.6V and [up to to 800mA current][3], depending on the batteries used, whereas the 8878 Rechargeable Battery Box delivers 7.4 V at up to 1.1A (?).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first generation of Mindstorms, the **RCX** generation, was again based on 9V. The original 1.0 version could be powered using a 10V DC transformer, but later versions took 6xAA batteries. It used standard LEGO 2-wire 9V connectors. When powered, the sensor inputs can supply power (at a bit less than 9V). More details of the electrical characteristics of these ports can be found in Claude Baumann's [Making Your Own RCX Sensors][4]. The same sensor interfaces were also used on the earlier and less well-known Lego DACTA Interface B but unlike on the RCX powered and unpowered sensors used different ports on the Interface B (this is why powered and unpowered sensors were different colours).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Mindstorms **NXT** system is a [6-wire][5] system. Two wires retained the 9V motor and sensor systems from the RCX while the other four provided tachometer functionality on the motor ports and a digital sensor interface on the sensor ports.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Mindstorms **EV3** uses the same 6-wire connectors as the NXT but additional functionality and a auto-detect system were added. Unfortunately in doing this they broke compatibility with 2-wire devices.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Interconnecting different 9V systems.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lego sold (now discontinued) an adaptor cable for going from the NXT to the old 9V connector. This allowed old 9V motors and RCX sensors to be used with the NXT. It also allowed NXT motors to be powered from a 9V source (obviously losing the tachometer functionality) and the NXT touch sensor to be used with a RCX or Interface B.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Unfortunately this cable doesn't work correctly with the EV3, see https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/2325/how-to-use-power-functions-with-mindstorms-ev3 and https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/8112/use-legacy-rcx-sensors-with-ev3?noredirect=1&amp;lq=1 for more discussion and possible workarounds.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lego sell an extension/adaptor cable that can be used to supply old 9V devices from a power functions source. It can also be used to supply ordinary power functions motors from an old 9V source but not to supply power functions IR receivers or server motors. See https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/7939/does-the-lego-power-functions-extension-wire-8886-work-in-both-directions-be/9607?noredirect=1#comment11349_9607 for more details.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lego did not sell a direct adaptor for connecting the NXT to power functions motors, this can be achieved either by combining the two adaptors mentioned above or by making a custom cable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Right, that's a start.

My experience with LDD and Technic models / MOCs is that you have good support for designing the completed model, but that for the generation of building instructions you're better off with other tools.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can [translate an existing LXF file into an LDraw model][1] (file extension: .ldr), but for some exotic (read: Technic) parts, the translation of LDD parts and LDraw parts is either incomplete or has problems with part orientation. This means that you may have to do manual edits to your model in order to have an (almost) complete translation into LDraw file format. See e.g. [this site][2] for details.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One advantage of the LDraw format, is that you can define &quot;building steps&quot; and sub assemblies in the design, which makes the generation of complex building instructions easier.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A tool for creating building instructions from a LDraw model, is [LPub3D][3].

To limit the number of balls dropped there should be a closing mechanism on the upper side of said tunnel that closes when the tunnel itself opens, so only the balls in that section would get dropped...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But how would you do that without jamming?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If someone cares about the ball-size and weight, that should not really matter because the basic construction can always be a little bit reconfigured if the ball size is between 12 and 15 mm. Same for the weight.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT: There has been some misunderstanding apparently, I am sorry for that. It should be noted that this mechanism should be repeatable for as long as you have a supply of balls coming in from a second source (auto-refilling of the reservoir). While this itself is not an issue because you can simply make a big pressure-based ball reservoir that gets triggered everytime the small reservoir empties, it is an important aspect because it means the whole mechanism should not only be able to run one time."

Pick a Brick&#xD;&#xA;If you live near a LEGO store you can find yourself a variety of parts. The prices are decent. Don't be afraid to fill the cup a little more than full.

Local LEGO Shops&#xD;&#xA;There may be a small locally owned LEGO establishment near you. I am not talking about a supermarket like Target or Walmart.

By theme (or in Minecraft terminology &quot;biome&quot;) and features (forest, mountains, etc).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of the four sets released, only two meet both of those:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- The Village&#xD;&#xA;- The Forest (Ideas)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These both use the same shades of grey for the underground sections, and similar colours for the overground sections (greens, browns, etc.).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The other two sets represent completely different areas (&quot;dimensions&quot;) within Minecraft accessed via special portals - there's no way to walk from a Forest biome to The End or Nether, so from a connecting point of view, neither of these really &quot;connect&quot; to the others.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So to create your own cells you'd want to follow the following guidelines:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Choose a Dimension (Overworld, Nether, End)&#xD;&#xA;2. Work with 6x6 plates (or variants/multiples of)&#xD;&#xA;3. Use a scale of 1x1x2/3 for most blocks (i.e. 2 stacked 1x1 plates) which can be capped with a 1x1 tile, for deep sections bricks can be used&#xD;&#xA;4. Underground is typically 4 bricks tall, overground can be taller &#xD;&#xA;4. Transition between biomes nicely (Forest - Beach, Forest - Jungle, etc.)" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It is perfectly normal to sell bulk lots of LEGO both locally and online without being able to tell exactly what's in the lot. If you want to spend the least amount of time on this, I would suggest first listing the lot on Craigslist or similar venues you may have locally. If it doesn't sell locally within a month or so, put the lot up on eBay.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Whether you sell locally or through an auction site, describe the lot as much as you can, but don't make guarantees. Just describe what you see. If you have a scale, measure the weight of the loose LEGO pieces. Many people buy LEGO by the pound, and knowing that the lot includes i.e. 10 pounds of pieces can be helpful for buyers to understand what they are looking at. (Just for your information, $5/lbs is the usual going price for mixed lot of used LEGO that buyers are willing to pay). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can sell the lot just by a brief description, the weight, and pictures. It is a normal and accepted practice to sell mixed lots of bulk LEGO. However, if you spend a bit more time on the description, you will likely get better offers. This would include things like the general condition of the pieces, instructions and minifigures. Are there any other toys or foreign objects mixed in? Do the pieces need cleaning? Do they appear lightly used or heavily played with? Are printed pieces and clear pieces scratched up or appear to be in good condition?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you feel they may have special value, describe the minifigs separately. How many there are, and what is their condition. If you see teeth-marks, paint marks, stains, missing body parts, etc. the value is going to be a lot less then if they are in pristine condition. Again, don't make guarantees, because everyone will have different standards, but just describe what you see.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Include a list of the instruction booklets. List the set numbers printed at the front of the instructions, as well as the condition of the instructions (i.e. missing pages, ripped pages, other damage). The list can give people an idea what pieces might be in the lot.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Whether you advertise locally or through an auction site like eBay, one of the most important part of your description is pictures. The more detailed pictures you take, the better. This doesn't mean having to photograph every piece separately, but just spread out the pieces as reasonably as you can and take good quality shots. You might want to also take separate pictures of the minifigs and the instruction booklets. Make sure that the pictures are not fuzzy and dark. The more people can see, the better their offers are going to be.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you list on Craigslist or a similar local site, you will need to put a price on the lot. This is a bit tricky as you don't want to ask for something outrageous to put off people from even contacting you, but you also don't want to lowball yourself. You could work with the $5/pound standard for bulk lots, and maybe ask for $7/pound, leaving some room to go lower if necessary. eBay is a lot easier in regards to pricing, as the market will give you exactly what the lot is worth based on your description and pictures. List the lot as an auction with a low starting price and/or reserve, and let people bid what they think the lot is worth. Keep in mind that eBay will take 10% of the proceeds, and another 3% will go to PayPal. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you sell through eBay, you will also need to ship the lot to the buyer. Get the right size shipping box and packing materials beforehand so you get at least a rough idea of how much it is going to cost to ship. Pack smaller lots into Ziplock bags before placing them in the shipping box. This will prevent the pieces from rattling around too much and getting damaged, and it also prevents bringing attention to the content of the box (stealing boxes full of LEGO is pretty common). You can offer free shipping (this will bring in more potential bidders, but you will have to eat the cost yourself), or let the buyer pay for shipping. The eBay selling platform helps you set this all up.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Keep in mind that selling the lot bulk is still going to bring in the least amount of money. This is understandable, as people are talking the risk of not knowing what's exactly in the lot, the condition of the pieces, minifigs and instructions, and how many of the sets are complete.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another option you might consider is hire someone locally to sort the pieces for you into sets that you can then sell separately. You might not have the time and inclination, but many people love to sort LEGO. You can even have a sorting party with a few older kids and/or adults. Offer some pizza and drinks and they will be happy to sort the pieces for you into sets. Once the sets are sorted, depending on how complete they are, you can either sell them as complete used sets, partial used sets, or smaller bulk lots of Star Wars sets, Harry Potter sets, etc.   &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One last thing I would add is that LEGO is bringing back Harry Potter this year. They will likely have much better sets and minifigs than in the past. If you want to sell the lot you have for the best price, I would suggest doing it before the new sets are released.

Without knowing production quantities on every set, it is impossible to know if there's a part that only comes one per copy of a set that sold 10 million units, or if there's another part that only comes ten copies of a set that sold 10,000 units.  Age of sets can also affect the answer because parts that have not been made in decades will exist in much smaller numbers now than when they were brand-new, due to all the various ways that a LEGO part could be destroyed over the years.  Some sets have been recalled and changed, which may have allowed a small number of a rare element to make it out into the wild, after which the supply was cut off.  And some elements have been retired almost immediately after they were first put into production.  Assuming stuff like SDCC minifigs are excluded (not meant to be sold), I have to put my vote on 8-spoked wheel #51377.  In 2005, they first introduced this wheel in metallic-silver for a Designer set and a Tiny Turbos set.  In 2006, they produced it in pearl-gold for the first Batmobile and the Catwoman/Dragster set.  Before those two Batman sets went out of production, they had introduced the reversible wheel #55981 with six spokes on one side and bolts on the other.  In the two Batman sets, they replaced the 8-spoke wheel with the new reversible one, which means they made the 8-spoke wheel in pearl-gold for only a few months before the mold was permanently retired.  I bought one copy of each Batman set at release, and a second copy soon after, and only got the 8-spoke wheel in the first copies I bought.  And that's too bad, because it's a really cool looking wheel." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

They all use a 6 stud gauge, so with a bit of fiddling, you can use all of the systems together. If you want to be most compatible with the current track offerings, you're better off with 9V and RC/PF track. [This question][1] discusses the specific compatibility issues in more detail.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The different types of train track can be divided into a few main eras.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Blue Era (1966 - 1980)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A track section consisted of 2 rails connected by regular 2x8 plates. The rails themselves were blue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![blue straight rails][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Trains could be either pushed by hand along the track, powered via 3 batteries (4.5V system), or powered via a third conducting rail added to the center of the track (12V system). Here are what the conducting rails for the 12V system look like:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![12V conducting rails][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some people still prefer the 12V system because it included more remote controlled components than the later 9V or RC/PF systems. With later systems, the only thing that is easily remote controlled is the train itself, whereas the 12V system included remote controlled points, light, and decouplers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Each era included straight track, curved track, switches, and cross track.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![blue points][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![blue cross track][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Gray Era (1980 - 1991)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These rails are generally the same as the blue rails aside from the new gray color.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![straight gray rails][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The sleepers were moved closer together (3 per section rather than 2), and they were changed to a specialized part to improve the strength of the connection. Here's what the sleepers look like:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![gray era sleepers][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The trains of this era were still either powered by 4.5V batteries or the 12V conducting rails.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# 9V Era (1991 - 2006)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The 9V era completely changed the track components, and did away with the old 4.5V and 12V voltages.

Spot any less common part (brick type &amp; color), here the *Slope 18 2&#xD;&#xA;    x 1 x 2/3 with 4 Slots* in dark green color. &#xD;&#xA; 2. Use the BrickLink parts catalogue to look for all sets where that brick is used. [Results here][3].   &#xD;&#xA; 3. For each dark green entry, look at the set inventory and try to spot additional less common parts. In this case, I was trying to find the [4x4 black turntable plate][4].  &#xD;&#xA; 4. Increase your level of confidence by matching a couple more bricks. The unique 2x4 red brick from the inventory was a good match as well. &#xD;&#xA; 5.

The ones I remember are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) for most regular bricks&#xD;&#xA;- PC (polycarbonate) for transparent bricks, as ABS can't be made transparent. Polycarbonate parts on the other hand have too much friction when in contact with other polycarbonate parts, making them extremely hard to disassemble. LEGO designers are [forbidden](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/q/155) to have some PC parts put together in models.&#xD;&#xA;- Rubber for tires and rubbery things - that's kinda obvious&#xD;&#xA;- A less sturdy plastic (can't remember the name) for parts which are more subject to being bent, for example studless technic beams.&#xA;- [As of  2018](https://www.lego.com/en-us/aboutus/news-room/2018/march/pfp/) plant elements will be made from a polythylene sourced from sugar cane.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And the list goes on.

This construction is essentially &quot;out of system&quot;. When you attach bricks underneath, you are forcing an error between this and standard system construction. This is why you see the &quot;strong v&quot; when bracing this with plates or bricks underneath.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One way that you might be able to brace it is by using a continuous offset of some sort. Here's an example:&#xD;&#xA;[![continuous offset bracing][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![continuous offset bracing][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You could also try building it without any reinforcement and then try to flatten it out (e.g. you could leave it under a pile of books overnight). I'm honestly not sure if this is likely to work, and it may permanently deform your bricks if it does, so I can't strongly recommend it. Realistically, this technique is already putting these parts under a lot of stress and may permanently harm them anyway.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/1XsWn.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/pkfxK.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

That's why you can find [sets with two different numbers](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/q/300/99), or [two different sets with the same number](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/q/302/99).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now the keyword here is *seem*, as I suppose there was some logic to it even in the past.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But nowadays there is some logic, and even if not all of it is understandable, you can at least spot some key elements, such as:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* When I was a kid and they started the 4 digits scheme, the first digit indicated the global theme pretty clearly. 8 was Technic, 6 was LEGOLAND, 77 were trains, and so on. At least for trains, they tended to use round numbers for bigger sets, ending in [0](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=7740-1) or [5](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=7735-1).&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;* Now, the first digit seems to have lost its significance, and sets in the same theme are  usually attributed a [range of numbers](http://www.brickset.com/browse/themes/?theme=Dino%202010), with the small set getting the lowest number. It's not an absolute rule, and I guess it depends on availability or other factors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Sets in the 10000 range are LEGO shop exclusives. Usually, you will usually only find them on Shop@Home or in LEGO retail outlets, but not in regular toy stores.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Sets in the 20000 range were used for the [BrickMaster](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?set=20008-1) series, with each set accompanying a BrickMaster issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Sets in the 20200 range will seemingly be used by the &quot;[LEGO Master Builder Academy](http://shop.lego.com/en-US/LEGO-Master-Builder-Academy-Kit-1-Space-Designer-20200)&quot; sets&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Sets in the 21000 range are [architecture](http://www.brickset.com/browse/themes/?year=2011&amp;theme=Architecture) sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Sets in the 30000 range are usually [small promotional polybags](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?set=30014-1)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In addition, there are 7-digits numbers floating around which are probably some other form of internal numbers. For specific [things](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?set=4269244-1) without a set number, that's usually the only thing you'll find.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For parts, you have to distinguish design ID (identifying a specific mold, regardless of color) and element ID (identifies a unique design/color combination).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't know how design IDs were or are attributed, but it seems there is now some sequential logic behind it. Note that changes in design which don't affect the functionality (hollow bars at the bottom of 1x bricks, for example) don't usually lead to a new design number (while peeron will append an &quot;a&quot;, &quot;b&quot;, ... to indicate the version, LEGO doesn't do that internally).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Element IDs used to be a juxtaposition of design ID and color ID, so a Black ([26](http://www.peeron.com/cgi-bin/invcgis/colorguide.cgi)) 2x4 brick ([3001](http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3001)) would be simply 300126. These numbers are still around for parts which existed when that scheme was used. [300126](http://us.service.lego.com/en-GB/replacementparts/showBrick.aspx?item=300126&amp;lod=5&amp;size=2) is still the element ID of a black 2x4 brick.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, at some point (not sure when), they changed this to use a [7-digit number](http://us.service.lego.com/en-GB/replacementparts/showBrick.aspx?item=4107445&amp;lod=5&amp;size=2) for the element ID, which doesn't have a relation to the design ID or color any longer. These seem to be sequentially attributed, and it could be that they share the same sequence as internal set numbers (but that's just a guess, really). There are also numbers for individual instruction booklets, which [ROSCO](http://www.br-eng.info/words/index.php/search-lego-instructions/) used to scan for directly on the LEGO site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for where to find these, that's more difficult. You'll notice I link a lot to [BrickSet](http://www.brickset.com/), that's because I feel they do a fantastic job of cataloguing sets. [Peeron](http://www.peeron.com/) has a good database too, but it's usually slower. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For parts, you'll need to go to Peeron, or [BrickLink](http://www.bricklink.com/), but they sometimes differ in their numbering when the official number of a part isn't known. Note that they usually use design IDs and not element IDs, although there is some work in progress [regarding that](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3001&amp;ccName=300126).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, while internal LEGO aren't exactly public, you can find design IDs embossed in elements, and element IDs in the back of all instruction leaflets. Also, the online pick-a-brick and the customer service &quot;[replacement part](http://us.service.lego.com/en-GB/replacementparts/default.aspx)&quot; function let you browse recent sets and see what the design and element IDs are for given elements."

A positive value is turning right, a negative is turning left. So far, so good.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I looked in the source code and found a programming scheme I tried to visualize. A large comment within the code describes the process as follows:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  * Speed [-100 .. +100] is move forward or move backwards  Turn ratio&#xD;&#xA;&gt; [-200 .. +200] is how tight you turn and to  what direction you turn&#xD;&#xA;&gt;   - 0 value is moving straight forward&#xD;&#xA;&gt;   - Negative values turns to the left&#xD;&#xA;&gt;   - Positive values turns to the right&#xD;&#xA;&gt;   - Value -100 stops the left motor&#xD;&#xA;&gt;   - Value +100 stops the right motor&#xD;&#xA;&gt;   - Values less than -100 makes the left motor run the opposite&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     direction of the right motor (Spin)&#xD;&#xA;&gt;   - Values greater than +100 makes the right motor run the opposite&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     direction of the left motor (Spin)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So the turn ration is multiplied by 2, because as a user we can just put -100 &lt;-&gt; 100 in there. I then used this code to calculate some values:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    for (var i = -100; i == 100; i++) {&#xD;&#xA;      turn = i * 2;&#xD;&#xA;      if (turn &gt;= 0) {&#xD;&#xA;        motorB = speed;&#xD;&#xA;        motorD = speed - turn;&#xD;&#xA;      } else {&#xD;&#xA;        motorB = turn + speed;&#xD;&#xA;        motorD = speed;&#xD;&#xA;      }&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If I visualize those values, I get the following image for speed 100:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That's fine. You can see the real turn value (the ones we as a user can set) and the calculated speeds for two (virtual) motors B and D. I tried this with the educator model and it works perfectly well. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But when I use the same code for another speed value (33), I get motor outputs that are too high in my opinion:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Motors will have values over +100/-100. Is there a threshold in the code and the motor outputs will be cropped?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Did someone else dig into this? Did I made a mistake?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;P.S.: I love such things.

The algorithm used to detect when a motor is connected relies on there being a load on pins 5 and 6 of the output ports to determine if the motor is a Large or Medium motor. The 8528 adapter cable only has wires on pins 1 and 2.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When you use a VM command (via a programming block or by using the on-brick app) to tell a motor to run, it forces the motor to run, but then the device connection manager immediately resets everything because it doesn't think that a motor is connected.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also see https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/2325/how-to-use-power-functions-with-mindstorms-ev3&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;s&gt;The fact that setting a power of -100 keeps the power on continuously, though, is new to me.

This [triggers and event in the device connection manager](https://github.com/mindboards/ev3sources/blob/master/lms2012/d_analog/Linuxmod_AM1808/d_analog.c#L3078).

On the EV3 output ports, pin 2 is internally connected to pin 6. So, when you tell a motor to go in reverse (negative power value), pin 2 is powered, which in turn raises the voltage on pin 6. Pin 6 (and also pin 5) is used for automatically detecting when a motor is detected.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, when you use a negative power setting, most of the time (but not 100% of the time), it it will trick the EV3 into thinking there is a motor connected and the motor will stay powered. However, when you use a positive power setting, pin 1 is powered instead of pin 2, so the EV3 thinks that there is no motor connected (because nothing happens to pin 5 or pin 6). So, in this case, the device connection manager in the EV3 software takes over and resets the motor port, which causes it to stop sending power to the motor.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I attached an oscilloscope, to see what is going on.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![oscilloscope showing EV3 output port pins 1 and 2][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you can see, the output is only turned on for 380ms, then it turns itself off. The motor was instructed to run indefinitely, but in reality, this is not what happens.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since your test involved running the motor for 1s and but it really only runs for 380ms, one would expect the car to run 38% of the distance as in the reverse case. You observation was 33% (one track length vs. 3), so that is quite close to what is expected.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As a workaround, you can Use the Unregulated motor block in a loop like this...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is important to use two different &quot;power&quot; values. Each time you change the value, it turns on the output port again. If you use the same value, the software won't update the motor port and the device connection manager will take over and turn off the output.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/MTNQR.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/rSUNA.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Then, indeed, it's much easier to play with LDCad when you don't have to paw through the entire LDraw library looking for parts; you just go through your subset of parts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Two years ago when I found LDCad I wanted a parts library restricted to just the parts in a specific LEGO kit so I kept notes and posted [my experience][2].  I still use it.   &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://forums.ldraw.org/showthread.php?tid=15309&amp;pid=15309#pid15309%20%22parts%20library%22.&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://forums.ldraw.org/thread-21700.html" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I've been looking around the Internet for a few weeks now and have found almost nothing. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I see [some instructions][1] how to flash the brick with some generic firmware, but no more information how to get to the point of programming it the way I need. I see the most popular source for programming the NXT in Python is [NXT-Python][2]. However, there is 1) no documentation 2) outstanding bugs on the ultrasonic sensor that has not been addressed since 2015 and 3) only executes the program on the PC and sends command to the brick, rather than uploading the program to the brick. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I see that NXT is usually programmed in the language NXC, which fortunately has an extensive [documentation in PDF form][3]. However, this language (based in C) seems like an entire beast of its own, and idk if I would have the time or patience to master an entirely new language just to program for this one small project. Furthermore, the GUI for NXC seems to be only for windows, but I'm using Ubuntu. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;NXC seems to be translatable from Python using the [PyNXC library][4]. However, it also doesn't seem to have any documentation except a couple of examples, and otherwise just pointing to the NXC tutorials. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Anything I am missing here, or is that the entire length and breadth of programming the NXT? I have a feeling there has got to be something more straight forward, as other people online talk about programming the NXT in python as if it was easy. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.damonkohler.com/2011/01/flash-nxt-ubuntu.html&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://github.com/Eelviny/nxt-python&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://bricxcc.sourceforge.net/nbc/nxcdoc/NXC_Guide.pdf&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://code.google.com/archive/p/pynxc/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

A broken doll house might not be worth keeping but a LEGO set with a few missing pieces can still be built with spare parts or re-built into something else.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Individual bricks *do actually* decrease in value relative to the increased production, particularly soon after a new part has been released as LEGO introduce the part to more and more sets in different colours.

For the Constitution Train Chase I had to modify the coal tender to hold the battery box and the motor, and I had to put the IR sensor in the cab of the locomotive. This means unsightly wires slung between cars. However, when the train is in motion you don't really see that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For a locomotive that already is designed to accommodate the old motor, there may be room inside it to fit the battery box and the IR sensor. You will have to sacrifice some of the interior.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that for summer 2018 there is a new train Power Functions system coming out, which is going to use a different system: a new motor connection, a new battery box, a new remote. The battery box will have Bluetooth or some other radio-frequency controller in it and thus you won't need the IR sensor anymore. This will save a lot of room in builds and eliminate the need for line of sight. " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Pulling out the hand and replacing it with another could be cool, but there are no plain hands on the market so you'd have to replace at least the whole arm plus hand or steal a hand from a good arm to fix this torso.  Getting the hand out would probably damage the arm even if you manage to do it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are replacement arms for some colors on bricklink, but not a plain blue arm like this that I could find.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Replace it&#xD;&#xA;The entire torso is available for less than $1 on [BrickLink](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=973pb0204c01#T=S&amp;C=1&amp;O={%22color%22:1,%22iconly%22:0}).  This is the easiest path forward.  Some similar torsos are half as much if you don't need an exact match.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Or re-purpose it&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As with all of LEGO the possibilities are limited to your imagination:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* maybe this soldier had his hand cut off and he's too poor to get a  prosthetic.&#xD;&#xA;* maybe this guy is holding a tray of drinks on his right arm during a battle.  I don't have an arm with a missing hand to test this, but I hope something could be attached to it.&#xD;&#xA;* maybe he had a tragic shaving accident and you can make a bloody scene about it.&#xD;&#xA;* maybe this soldier put on the wrong uniform and you can live with 2 new matching arms from BrickLink that aren't entirely blue.&#xD;&#xA;* maybe he's sticking his arm into a bee's nest or a hole in a dike.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I hope you can see some way to get more value out of your &quot;broken&quot; torso than just tossing it.

In this case, the brick still does not produce beep tones after roughly 1.7 seconds (starting from when the fopen() command finished). So it is not just a simple timeout if there is no data.&#xD;&#xA; - on the EV3 brick the bluetooth connection is marked as &quot;connected&quot; until f.close() is executed or the python script has completed.

So back to my question - where should I look for the defect?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;He suggested focusing on the area depicted below.  You’ll notice a yellow crossbar going through two gray support pieces.  With the doors shut, they should be flush against one another with none of the yellow showing, but in my model they have a gap when Flight mode quits, as shown.  If you manually push the doors (top or bottom) shut, they are flush.  So this area may be key, or (shudder) just an artifact of a mistake elsewhere.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/fPW6O.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/y02us.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/nLeF6.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

To achieve this you can remove any usb device that gets enumerated before the usb tower from its slot, then reconnect the usb tower before reconnecting the other device. (it's probably a keyboard or a mouse, and it will be shown in the /dev/usb/ directory, possibly as a usbhid or human interface device). If this is not possible then you can probably find another way to enumerate it first, but that is beyond the scope of my answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The following is **untested**:&#xD;&#xA;My guess would be that the patch applied in the article here https://pbrick.info/2013/10/configuring-the-lego-usb-tower-on-linux/ does allow for the syntax you tried, but the version built for the repo simply hardcodes the path to /dev/usb/legousbtower0.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

My first guess was that the program is jumping straight into a line following algorithm and that program is stopping as soon as it detects the table top.  But, that would be fairly easy to test by approaching the table from the edge of the table, so the light sensor would stop the motors before the back wheels got close to the table.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Second guess.  The line following algorithm starts up in a mode that runs the motors at a low power setting (less than 5), which works when suspended in air, but it not enough power to turn the wheels when on the table because there is some resistance (either the front wheels or ?).  The line following is waiting for some rotation distance before moving to the next step and it waits forever.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Probably best to copy/paste sections of the program.

  <row Id="32379" PostHistoryTypeId="5" PostId="10075" RevisionGUID="117daf5f-eb3b-4c49-a84c-054a69573c3b" CreationDate="2018-06-19T06:56:38.283" UserId="5853" Comment="typo fixes" Text="With some Power Functions elements and a few extra pieces, it's pretty easy to turn the Rally Car into an RC car.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's a quick demo video of my design in action.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And here are the instructions I made for it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Required extra pieces&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;First you are going to need some extra pieces:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Power Functions:&#xD;&#xA;  - **1x** - [Servo Motor][4]&#xD;&#xA;  - **1x** - [IR Receiver][5]&#xD;&#xA;  - **1x** - [Battery Box][6]&#xD;&#xA;  - **1x** - [L-Motor][7] (alternately you can use an [M-Motor][8] but it is not as powerful)&#xD;&#xA;- Technic:&#xD;&#xA;  - **1x** - [5L beam][9]&#xD;&#xA;  - **2x** - [2L thin beam][10]&#xD;&#xA;  - **4x** - [Axle Pin with Friction Ridges][11]&#xD;&#xA;  - **2x** - [3L axle][12]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In addition to that, you will need a Power Functions remote, and possibly some extra pieces to build the remote. If you don't have a remote already, there are instructions for one at the end.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Disassembly&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To add power functions, you will need to disassembly it a bit to remove the engine block and manual steering system.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Remove doors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][13]][13]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Remove roof sides.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][14]][14]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Remove roof gear and pull the blue pins out one step.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][15]][15]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. Take the center of the roof off with the front window frame.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][16]][16]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5. Detach the trunk.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][17]][17]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;6. Detach the hood.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][18]][18]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;7. Remove seats.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][19]][19]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;8. Remove fire extinguisher.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][20]][20]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Remove manual steering.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Removing the steering system is a little tricky, but doable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][21]][21]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Locate the place where it attaches to the back.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][22]][22]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Push up on the grey piece to detach it from the small black pieces, so you can slide it back and remove all the yellow pieces.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][23]][23]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All of these pieces should be removed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][24]][24]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also remove the black and blue pieces that hold it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][25]][25]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After they are removed, the engine block will be easier to remove.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][26]][26]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Removing engine block&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. On the back, locate this area.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][27]][27]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Partially detach it temporarily.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][28]][28]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Remove the gear and axles.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][29]][29]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. Reattach the section.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][30]][30]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5. From the underside, locate where the engine block attaches at the back.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][31]][31]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;6. Push up to detach the engine block and the white pieces and pins that attached it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][32]][32]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Check alignment&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At this point, you going to want to make sure the front gear attached to the gear rack for steering is perfectly vertically aligned like so. If not, slide the pin out and adjust it. It needs to be vertical for the servo motor to attach to it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][33]][33]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Locate pieces&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In these sections you removed, you will find some other pieces you will need.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][34]][34]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Disassemble them to find these pieces.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][35]][35]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Add drive motor&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Build this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][36]][36]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. From the underside, position it to slide in the back into the differential area.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][37]][37]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In this area, you are going to need to add the black gear.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][38]][38]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Hold a black gear in place, then slice the axle and motor into the holes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][39]][39]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][40]][40]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Add steering motor&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. In the front, flip up this white panel.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][41]][41]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][42]][42]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Slide the dark grey in the gear out one stud.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][43]][43]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Build this bracket.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][44]][44]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. Insert it here, then slide the red pins out one stud.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][45]][45]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][46]][46]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5. Through the seating area, insert the servo motor into the bracket and push the red pins back in.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][47]][47]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][48]][48]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;6. Now if the axle is correctly aligned, you can just slide the axle into the motor.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][49]][49]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;7. Flip the panel back down.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][50]][50]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Adding Battery Box&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Build the following.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][51]][51]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Slide the batter box into the back here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][52]][52]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][53]][53]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. On the sides, attach it with the pieces you just built.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][54]][54]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][55]][55]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][56]][56]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Re-assembly&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Reattach seats.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][57]][57]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Reattach hood.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][58]][58]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Reattach roof center, and slide the blue pins back in.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][59]][59]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][60]][60]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. Reattach the trunk to the blue pins.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][61]][61]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][62]][62]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5. Hold the trunk in the up position, and reattach the roof sides.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][63]][63]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][64]][64]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;6. Reattach the doors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][65]][65]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# IR Receiver&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Attach black pins to the receiver, and attach it to the spoiler.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][66]][66]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][67]][67]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. It's tricky, but run the wire through the crack down to the batter box.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][68]][68]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][69]][69]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][70]][70]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Now run the wires from the motors up through that crack, and attach to the IR receiver, servo to blue, engine to red.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][71]][71]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][72]][72]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Turning the car on.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Turning the car on/off is as simple as opening the hood and switching the orange switch on the battery box.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][73]][73]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Remote&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can build the following remote with a few extra pieces.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][74]][74]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][75]][75]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Power Functions:&#xD;&#xA;  - **1x** - [IR Remote Control][76]&#xD;&#xA;- Technic:&#xD;&#xA;  - **2x** - [Axle Pin 3L with Friction Ridges][77]&#xD;&#xA;  - **2x** - [Axle and Pin Connector Angled #1][78]&#xD;&#xA;  - **2x** - [Axle 2L][79]&#xD;&#xA;  - **1x** - [Liftarm 1 x 4 Thin with Stud Connector][80] (or the version without the stud connector)&#xD;&#xA;  - **1x** - [Wheel 30.4mm D. x 20mm][81] (or some other wheel rim)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Build sticks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][82]][82]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Attach sticks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][83]][83]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Build arm.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][84]][84]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. Attach arm.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![][85]][85]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5.

Many were discolored, warped and specifically the blue and gray pieces would break if flexed.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;30 years forward and some of pieces from my 90's mix are discolored specifically gray, blue, white, yellow, brown.  I think there is shelf life of about 30 years with certain color blends.  Note that pieces that have sat in sunlight have been affected more.  Maybe the sun's UV rays are not so good for certain color blends.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A few suggestions:  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(1) Buy new.  Head over to Bricklink and buy new pieces.  Unfortunately, I've never seen this piece in Green and the site is saying that this is somewhat rare. ([Site wise only two exist! Sold by a store in Belgium][1] at $2.16 each. Ouch!).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Record keeping purposes.  After breaking out my pieces from the 90's, I have creations and designs that once disassembled would be lost.  I don't want to lose these old drafts, or the build knowledge gleaned from them that I could use in future creations. Things can get more exasperated if these pieces are breaking due to time.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(2a) Get a virtual LEGO program (I still use the discontinued LEGO Digital Designer) and preserve your builds digitally.  Label them correctly and store them indefinitely in The Cloud.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(2b) For me, I can look at a model and figure out how it was made, so it might be faster to use your phone and make a short video of your creation from all angles, and upload that for preservation to The Cloud.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And finally, those pieces I have that are at least 60 years old, a few blue pieces can be crumpled in one hand... &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=630#T=S&amp;C=6&amp;O=%7B%22color%22:%226%22,%22rpp%22:%22500%22,%22iconly%22:0%7D" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Make sure the RCX is set to &quot;Long Range&quot; mode (Go to the RIS settings page and change the RCX comm range).&#xD;&#xA; 3. Make sure the RCX program slots are unlocked (also in the RIS settings page).&#xD;&#xA; 4. Try replacing the batteries (again, particularly in the tower).  &#xD;&#xA; 5. Try downloading the program with the lights off (believe it or not, I've had lightbulbs emitting enough infrared to interfere with communications).&#xD;&#xA; 6.

Some rubber rot on the cables, but other than that, the set's in great shape.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;RCX 1.0 with DC-in port.  Serial tower.  Fresh batteries in tower and RCX.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have RIS 2.0 installed on a WinXP laptop with a serial port.  Tower works and shows green light.  The entire 2500-step firmware update process happens just fine (from the RIS settings menu).  I've even successfully completed the IR range test, where it makes the RCX beep as long as it's in IR range.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After that, I get periodic &quot;Trouble communicating with the RCX&quot; messages.  Downloading a program often takes 2-3 retries because of this.  This seems like an okay work-around, but then other times, it just can never complete a download at all.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I just tried NQC today, and it downloads programs every time, reliably.  That implies that this isn't an RCX problem or a tower problem.  Some kind of RIS software problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've seen discussions of other compatibility issues with newer Windows, but I'm not having those specific issues.  Just really flaky program downloading with lots of retries.  But the strange thing is that the firmware downloads just fine.... and that's HUGE.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for why I don't just use NQC....

Though you're right that NQC cannot connect to the port if RIS is running. I've tried both near and far range on the tower. Replaced batteries a bunch of times.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only other bit of behavior that I forgot to mention is that when trying to DL a program, the green light on the tower comes on, and then sometimes the little &quot;receiving&quot; icon on the RCX comes on, but just for a moment. Other times, the receiving icon never comes on at all. Then, after several retries, the receiving icon on the RCX comes on, stays on, and the little progress &quot;dots&quot; on the RCX fill up."

See the motor functions [here][1]. I would try the following:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Receive the controller's position over bluetooth.&#xD;&#xA; 2. Use `MotorTachoCount (byte output)` to get the position of the steering motor.&#xD;&#xA; 3. Compare controller's position to the steering motor's position.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    `if(controller &gt; steering) drive steering forward.&#xD;&#xA;    else drive steering backward.`  &#xD;&#xA; 4. Repeat 1-4.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are a few enhancements you can make as well, once you get this working. For one, it may help to set the steering motor's power proportional to the difference between the positions. For example, `pwr = 0.5*abs(controller - steering)` . Adjust the 0.5 by trial and error until the steering is responsive, but not over-responsive. This will make the steering faster if the difference is large, and slower when the difference is small. It may also be worth looking into the motor PID functions to make the steering even smoother.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://bricxcc.sourceforge.net/nbc/nxcdoc/nxcapi/group___output_module_functions.html&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Perhaps for a store display or mosaic? – TheBrickBlogger Jul 14 at 0:40&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I agree with this hypothesis. In particular, the pieces would have been assembled and then spray painted. This accounts for the faint tinge of gray on the top edge of the sides of the pieces (paint in the gap between adjacent bricks), and why some of the pieces (right side of the photo) have gray sides.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The tops of the studs look slightly less sharp than LEGO plastic molding usually is, which would be due to the paint slightly rounding everything over.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is also unlikely that this effect would have been produced by regular injection molding, because the plastic does not enter the mold in neat flat layers so you can't do this by just putting two different colors in. &quot;Overmolding&quot; can create an object with two plastics stuck together, but they would have a crisp edge usually with a detectable seam, not the faintly fuzzy one here. In any case, some very unusual process would have been used, and I doubt that TLG would have gone to the trouble.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's paint." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Most of those motors even have thermal protection systems built-in to prevent damage in the stalled case.

As you noted you will want multicore wire to allow for flexibility and prevent breakage.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd also add that the standard 9V battery boxes are current limited, so in practice you can get away with 22 AWG or even 24 AWG wire. I'd encourage you to try out the wire in advance to make sure it meets your power requirements. A pair of buggy motors is very different than a few lights or a train motor.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is possible, though more difficult, to replace the entire wire rather than splicing out and replacing the bad bits. This is covered in detail on [Instructables][1]. Here's the gist:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Carefully remove the back plate from the connector using two flat blade screwdrivers to release the clips:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![opened connector][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. If you are using a compatible wire size, you can simply slide the wire into the metal clips exactly as the original wire was attached. Otherwise, you can solder it in place:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![soldered wires][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Pop the back plate back on being careful to route the wires and tabs appropriately.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you are working with the longer wires, and the break is near the end, you can simply remove the wire, cut off the bad end, and reconnect the remainder of the original wire. Your wire will be a few cm shorter, but that isn't a big deal for many applications.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.instructables.com/id/Replace-Old-Lego-Electric-Wires/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/SJNB2.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/DZ6LO.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Is this possible?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ideally I'd like some app-supported mechanism for this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have a Google Pixel, a Nexus 5X and a Windows 10 PC. I've poked around on the filesystem looking for saved files but haven't found anything. I'd like to be able to transfer programs from my Windows 10 PC to a phone and vice versa. I am especially thinking of using Boost for exhibits where it would be handy to have a variety of devices having exact copies of the same program. I'm also hoping to find a way to version-control the programs and maybe even reverse-engineer them so that we can generate files without all the touch-screen drag-and-drop silliness."

Two NXTs can communicate with Bluetooth using the Lego software.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Pair the NXTs using the on-brick menus.  &#xD;&#xA;2. Write programs for both NXT 1 and NXT 2:  &#xD;&#xA; - At the start of the program, NXT 1 initiates a Bluetooth connection to NXT 2.  &#xD;&#xA; - NXT 1 sends a message when it wants NXT 2 to do something; NXT 2 responds when it's finished.  &#xD;&#xA;3. Start both programs manually (in this setup, NXT 2 has to start first so it'll be ready when NXT1 connects).  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If something less complex is acceptable, you can communicate using light sensors. Attach 2 light sensors facing directly into each other. One NXT can talk to the other by flashing the light on the sensor.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you're open to alternative languages, LeJOS (Java for Mindstorms) gets you a lot closer to your goal. Through Bluetooth, NXT 1 can remotely start a program on NXT 2, or even access the motors and sensors. You can even communicate over high-speed RS485 by directly wiring two port 4's together, just like you said.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There used to be a 3rd-party NXT-G block for sending data over RS485. With it you could write programs for NXT 1 and NXT 2 like I described above, but with a direct wire between port 4's instead of Bluetooth.

Text="There *is* a problem with the Mythbusters building technique.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One of the first things you learn about building with Lego is that, if you want a stable structure, your bricks need to interlock as much as possible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Unofficial Lego Builder's Guide illustrates this rather well:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Unfortunately, to make the build easier the Mythbustes team assembled a series of large blocks and then assembled these meta-blocks into a ball. The problem with this approach is that it creates lines of weakness between the meta-blocks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the shots of the ball falling apart you can clealy see these sub-assemblies inside the ball, which suggests that it did indeed break up along the lines of weakness between them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For maximum strength, the Mythbusters team should have built the ball in layers of single bricks, ensuring that in each layers bricks bound the layer below together as much as possible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All that said, I don't think that the faulty building technique really invaidates the Mythbusters conclusions. There is simply no way that a Lego ball of that size would remain intact. You would expect, for example, that the outermost bricks would fall away in exactly the way they did in the Mythbusters. And in fairness, building the ball with fully interlocking bricks would have taken considerably longer than doing so the way they did. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, if they're willing to supply the bricks, I'm sure we could try to do it better for them!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Xpyoa.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Then I created a new empty project in the EV3 Education software and imported all of the images and sounds. The software doesn't let you import `.rbf` files (the actual program), which is why it has to be downloaded separately via the *Memory Browser*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I haven't tested this extensively, but it does seem to work."

I believe they contain bleach, which while is great for getting things clean, it will react with the ABS plastic. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I tried bleaching some old lego a number of years back, and I soaked the bricks for a day or two and I found that, while they wer very clean, they also slightly expanded as a result of reacting with the bleach. They are very sticky, and are hard to separate now. Additionally, they seem a little harder and less flexible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that this occurred after being immersed in a water bleach mixture for extended time. One swipe of bleach will probably not have much effect, but it shows that it does react with the plastic, so that is why I suggest against it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Warm water and dish soap cures most problems."

I think he took about a 20% cut and had most of it sold off in a few months. The upside of this approach is that you don't have to do anything but count the money you make. Make sure you get someone who knows what they are doing though. Older collectors are good choices, since they know a lot of the history of sets and themes. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't know how good sites liek Bricklink are for selling sets.

The first step to disassembling the motor is removing the small Philips screw on the bottom:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![bottom screw][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now there are a pair of gray tabs in the back white section that we need to release. I found it easiest to cut them down with a knife. Once those are free, the white section slides backwards away from the motor. Try to do this gently, as there are several gears inside that may go flying and be difficult to find.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![sliding open][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The motor will be left in the back section.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![white with motor][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It isn't fixed in place, so you can simply slide it free of the housing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![just the motor][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We can see that the PCB contains only a few very simple components. I believe that the larger element in the middle is a resettable fuse, and the smaller one on the left is a capacitor across the motor pins to minimize electrical noise. The tiny black element on the right is a 2.2kOhm resistor between pins 5 and 6 that allows the hub to identify this as an M motor.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We also have the gray section of the motor:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![gray section][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Down in the end, there is a planetary gearbox that slides out:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![gearbox][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The gearbox simply slides open:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![gearbox internals][7]][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It contains two sets of planetary gears:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![planetary gears][8]][8]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Overall, this is very similar to the PF M motor with the addition of a small PCB and a resistor to facilitate the component detection used by Powered Up.

My son built this around late 80's / early 90's. The closest I can find is the [6956 Stella Recon Voyager](https://brickset.com/sets/6956-1/Stellar-Recon-Voyager) set. Same colours and similar pieces. Has he perhaps joined up two sets and made this himself as I cannot find it anywhere. I am looking for parts inventory and instructions. I have a huge box of LEGO pieces I now want to pass on to my grandson. Sorry that the picture is not clearer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![LEGO set picture][1]][1] &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Update:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thank you for your feedback. Yes, I have managed to download the parts inventory and instructions for 6956. You are correct with 6886. I now definitely remember buying that for our son and those parts are in the box but I'm not too sure about 1968 it doesn't look familiar. I will have to ask my son who now lives abroad. It appears that, at the time the picture was taken, my son might have used his very active 10yr old imagination! Thank you for that info. I am also going to upload the only other picture I have taken from a different angle if this helps further. So, if I could just find out from what model those large black flat 'fins' and other side pieces might be from I think we might have solved the puzzle.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/WG1GE.jpg&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/b5EEx.jpg&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I'm calling it rough, because at this early stage, it was just made to look as close to the actual picture with no care for a sensible design flow. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For example, the file may have three stacked 1x4 plates, where there should be a 1x4 brick or corner piece there instead. The abundant plates were used to  guesstimate height levels, and left in place because due to the lack of reference material, every level may not be correct.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, with the *[LDD program][3]*, it is possible to generate build instructions, but again, the design flow will not make sense until more data is collected from the field.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;**What You're Getting:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - A *[**link to my Google Drive folder**][3]* that contains the LDD file (*.lxf), and all my collected reference material of pictures and videos.  Anyone is welcome to add their two brick clicks to this build.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Notes and Issues:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **From What I Understand:** LEGOLAND Resort is a hotel, outside but within some walking distance to an actual LEGOLAND theme park.  So, no one is actually squatting inside the park;).  &#xD;&#xA;   &#xD;&#xA;   Hotel guests spend the night in a LEGO themed hotel room.  The 5&#xD;&#xA;   Themes if available at a particular hotel are: *Ninjago*, *Pirate*, *LEGO&#xD;&#xA;   Friends*, *Kingdom*, and *Adventure*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   &#xD;&#xA;   [![enter image description here][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Field Research / Resort Locations**: There are multiple LEGOLAND resorts, and it seems like I've traveled the world to find videos and&#xD;&#xA;   shots of this hat.  &#xD;&#xA;   &#xD;&#xA;   So far, only hotels Florida and Malaysia have our brown hat, all&#xD;&#xA;   other resorts I've searched, California, Windsor, UK, Germany, Japan,&#xD;&#xA;   and Dubai, all have a gray hat with a totally different design (and clearer pictures).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Build Discrepancies Between Images**: Reference images for the top of the hat seems to be missing pieces, or pieces seem to be shifted between images/rooms. One reason I could come up with to explain the discrepancy is a hotel guest pawing the hats, and oops a piece comes off, then it gets reassemble wrong.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Lucky Mirror Shortcuting:** We lucked out with the hat being symmetrical (*Sort of), which means we got away with building half, and just mirrored out the rest. Less work, Yay!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **(*Sort of) Symmetry Explained**. You'll notice in some images and shots that the left side of the tan band of the hat lumps out for no&#xD;&#xA;   apparent reason.  [![enter image description here][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;   &#xD;&#xA;   So,I google imaged Fedora hats, and you'll see some of them sport overlapping material pinned down with a swanky feather.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   [![enter image description here][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;   &#xD;&#xA;   So, I think the designer built the staging for a type of hat&#xD;&#xA;   accessory.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Need more data (01)**. I have no great shots of how the hat connects to the tan mounting block, the actual size of the mounting block, nor how flush the entire piece hugs up on the wall. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Need more data (02)**. I have no idea if the designer scooped out the underside of the hat that no guest would ever see, unless some crazy curious guest pulled it off the wall to properly check underneath.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What Next?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, basically the next step to finalizing some great build instructions is to collect more field material.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------------------------&#xD;&#xA;**TO ALL FUTURE HOTEL GUESTS OF ANY LEGOLAND THEMED RESORT HOTEL.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hey, please share your family's visit to any of these hotels.

You should call customer support or write them a letter and encourage them to do so.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have gathered some information mostly from the (unofficial) [LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Facebook Page](https://www.facebook.com/groups/legomindstorms) and also discussions with other MINDSTORMS hackers. This list is most likely incomplete.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* v1.10E: Add USB support for [Microsoft MakeCode](https://makecode.mindstorms.com/) (EV3 now appears as USB drive).&#xD;&#xA;* v1.09H/E: Disable telnet service (security issue in response to [this](https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&amp;tl=en&amp;js=y&amp;prev=_t&amp;hl=en&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.heise.de%2Fsecurity%2Fartikel%2FAnalysiert-Lego-Mindstorms-fuer-Cyber-Angriffe-missbraucht-3055305.html&amp;edit-text=&amp;act=url) German language article on how malware was discovered running on an EV3).&#xD;&#xA;* v1.09D: This is a new &quot;developer&quot; version of the firmware available [on the LEGO Education website](https://education.lego.com/en-us/support/mindstorms-ev3/developer-kits) that has telnet enabled and there is now a password for `root` (see the readme.txt file that comes with the 1.09D firmware).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* v1.08H/E: Add support for the popular Edimax EW-7811UN Wi-Fi dongle.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* v1.07H/E: Add support for new Bluetooth chip shipping with newer EV3s (starting circa July 2015).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* v1.06H/E: Work around checksum bug on EV3 color sensor RGB mode (used by custom block from David Gilday on the [MindCuber](http://mindcuber.com/mindcub3r/mindcub3r.html))" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Any classic brick box typically gives you a less than $0.05 per part price. Getting those on discount can get you even lower. (E.g. 10704 when on sale at WM in the US was $20 for 900 bricks - or a little over $0.02 per brick).&#xD;&#xA;2. Special sets not for regular retail (marked as Gear on Bricklink.com) have a good price per part ratio. 40174 Chess set has over 1400 pieces and retails for $55 (~$0.04 per part). Only available at LEGO Shop at Home and LEGO stores. Similarly for the What Am I? game - 540 pieces, currently on sale for $24, so also ~$0.04 per part.&#xD;&#xA;3. Some smaller sets, especially when on discount, also have great price to part ratio. 100-120 pieces in a $5 set gives a price to part ratio of $0.05 or better.&#xD;&#xA;4. On the other end of the spectrum: LEGO has released quite some large sets recently with great price-per-part ratios. Sets like Destiny’s Bounty (2300 pieces for $160, Ninjago City (almost 5000 pieces for $300) and especially Saturn V (almost 2000 pieces for $120) are expensive but proved tons of pieces.&#xD;&#xA;5. Clearance discounts (especially those of 70% or more) are great opportunities to buy high piece-count sets for little money. For example the Imperial Assault Carrier from 2014 was available at WM clearance for $30 or less, and has 1100 pieces.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Brickset has a cool feature where you can see all sets in a Theme or in a given year sorted by the Price per Piece count. First, go to the page for the year you are interested in ([I chose 2017][1]). Then use the sorting dropdown to pick “Price per Piece (US)”. You can see that this largely validates my points above. Note that the list starts with many sets that do not have a price per piece in US dollar available (promos, limited release sets, sets not available in the US etc.) You will have to scroll quite far down before the proper list starts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://brickset.com/sets/year-2017&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/PxIgm.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

The pin on the right is extra and will not make contact with anything.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first 6 pins line up with the hub just fine:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Hub with exposed connector][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The SATA connector is unfortunately a little too thin to fit snugly:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![SATA vs Hub port size][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you can get it wedged in using some sort of shim (paper, cardboard, etc) you should be able to get a good connection.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![SATA plugged in][7]][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cPAosYGy-8&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/smnlh.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/RzWW1.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/7X8xL.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/dC3hg.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Pyv67.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/NqMof.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Even if it &quot;meets the specs&quot;, there can still be timing issues that cause problems.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Dexter Industries has a [nice blog post](https://www.dexterindustries.com/howto/connecting-ev3-arduino/) about connecting EV3 to an Arduino via I2C. This includes a block they created for the official EV3 programming software that does generic I2C communications. One limitation is that although you can read up to 32 bits at a time, you can only write at most one byte at a time (this is a limitation of the EV3 firmware, not the Dexter Industries block). So if a device requires longer write messages it definitely won't work. Otherwise, as already mentioned, you will just have to try it and see what happens.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The [ev3dev](http://ev3dev.org) 3rd-party OS for EV3 has more robust I2C handling since is uses the standard Linux I2C interface. For example, you can write a program in Python [like this](https://github.com/ev3dev/ev3dev/issues/1007#issuecomment-344684487)." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

The algorithm used to detect when a motor is connected relies on there being a load on pins 5 and 6 of the output ports to determine if the motor is a Large or Medium motor. The 8528 adapter cable only has wires on pins 1 and 2.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When you use a VM command (via a programming block or by using the on-brick app) to tell a motor to run, it forces the motor to run, but then the device connection manager immediately resets everything because it doesn't think that a motor is connected.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also see https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/2325/how-to-use-power-functions-with-mindstorms-ev3&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;s&gt;The fact that setting a power of -100 keeps the power on continuously, though, is new to me. I'm at a bit of a loss to explain that observation.&lt;/s&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;UPDATE:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've done some digging and now I better understand what is going on.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Output port pin 2 is connected to pin 6 via a 100k resistor as seen in the schematic diagrams below.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![electrical schematic depicting LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 output port connector][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![electrical schematic depicting LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 output port pin 6 electronic circuit][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When the EV3 is instructed to run a motor in the forward direction pin 1 will have battery voltage and pin 2 will be at 0V. When running in reverse, however, pin 1 will be at 0V and pin 2 will be at battery voltage.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When using the converter cable, nothing is connected to pin 6 externally, so it will also be at battery voltage (pulled down slightly by R216 to +5V). This [triggers an event in the device connection manager](https://github.com/mindboards/ev3sources/blob/master/lms2012/d_analog/Linuxmod_AM1808/d_analog.c#L3078). Most of the time (but not 100% of the time) the EV3 will think that it has a motor attached because of this and so the LED will stay on.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/gkLcw.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/vkgIf.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Personally, I would just connect pin 6 to pin 3 directly and connect pin 5 to pin 3 using a 3.3k resistor so that it exactly matches one of the 4 possible states of an EV3 Large motor.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When you do this, the EV3 will detect your motor as an EV3 Large Motor. However, you shouldn't use the Large Motor blocks in the EV3 software. Since this hardware hack won't provide a position feedback signal, those blocks won't work correctly. Instead, use the Unregulated Motor block (one of the blue &quot;advanced&quot; blocks) to control the PWM duty cycle.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZNwcd.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Dvbre.png&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To get a PWM signal on pin 2, simply run the motor in reverse.

They were used in the Homemaker sets to decorate furniture, etc. [List of LEGO Stickers Sorted by Year][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Interestingly, at the same time (early '70s), the large Homemaker figures had printed faces, but the first minifigures (with no movable legs and arms) had blank faces, and stickers for their torsos. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To find the oldest printed piece, I went through the BrickLink Color Guide, and looked at the colors that have been produced the longest (since 1950). I checked each of these colors, sorted the results by year released, and looked for the first appearance of printed elements.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first printed pieces that show up are a large selection of street signs and lettered signs produced in 1955. They were mostly printed on white elements, but there are also some printed yellow and red pieces through the 1950s. [First White Printed Parts Sorted by Year][2] &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In summary, the first decorated parts were printed, but LEGO has been using a combination of stickers and printed pieces since the early 1970s. While this has been the cause of frustration for LEGO fans and collectors who prefer printed parts, it is actually in line with the policies of other toy makers. Mega Bloks (now Mega Construx), Kre-O, Oxford, Playmobil, etc. also have been using both stickers and printed elements in their toy lines. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's also interesting to note that in the 1970s and 1980s, LEGO released ideas books with sticker sheets, which allowed children to customize their minifigures and other pieces in creative ways. Stickers were considered cool back then, and were extensively used for customization. Nowadays, stickers are viewed more as a sign of a company being cheap and lazy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's worth looking at the history of stickers and printed parts through the years and through toy lines, and how they were perceived and used by consumers (especially children). This is just my personal observation, but I believe the recent preference of printed parts has to do with collectors getting interested in children's toys and demanding what they perceive as higher quality. Children who are old enough to manipulate stickers, generally prefer the customization options stickers provide. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?pg=1&amp;catString=160&amp;itemBrand=1000&amp;catType=P&amp;v=2&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?pg=2&amp;colorPart=1&amp;sortBy=Y&amp;sortAsc=A&amp;itemBrand=1000&amp;catType=P" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

The motor turns an axle, on which a gear is attached (partially hidden black disk in the picture).&#xD;&#xA;   2. The first two gears shift the rotation out in front of the motor.  &#xD;&#xA;   3. The next two knob wheel &quot;gears&quot; turn the rotation 90 degrees, resulting in the golf club motion you see in the picture.&#xD;&#xA; - Increase the speed of the golf club:  &#xD;&#xA;   When you combine gears of different sizes you can change how fast or how strong the output is.  &#xD;&#xA;   The first two gears have 36 teeth and 12 teeth, in that order. This makes the golf club move *3 times faster* than the motor.  &#xD;&#xA;   If you were to swap the gears, putting the small 12 before the 36, it would make the club 3 times *slower* than the motor.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can find [building instructions here.][1] This model was designed to be built with the NXT Education Base Set.

You'll need to write code to dispatch messages to the battery box to perform whatever action you want your remote to control. I wrote a script that makes the remote behave like the remote in the box, i.e. it makes the train go faster or slower.

If you have the full sticker sheet, you might be able to find a part number for the sticker sheet (in this case 29583/6174606), it can usually be found at the bottom and/or near 'LEGO GROUP'. Use either [Bricklink sticker search][3] or Google to find the original set. Older LEGO sticker sheets might only use the set ID.&#xD;&#xA; 2. A lot of sets, particularly those released in the last two decades and particularly CITY sets will use the set ID on vehicle number plates. Usually for number plates, the first two letters will be the initials of the set designer and the following number would represent the set ID. They can also be found in more creative places such as a [tail number for a helicopter][4].&#xD;&#xA; 3. Google Image Search has a function called 'Search by Image', this can be found be pressing the camera icon in the Google Images search field. Take a picture of the sticker sheet, or a single identifiable sticker. Ensure that the photo is in focus, well lit and from directly above and upload.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Google will try to find keywords to match the image uploaded, this isn't always helpful so you may need to replace the keywords with 'LEGO', 'Sticker' and if possible, the theme that the set might belong to.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 4. If everything else fails, you can use the registered trademark year to narrow down the year it was produced/released. In this case, the release date must be before or after 2017. It's possible that a sticker sheet could be reprinted in following years to correct a flaw in the design and that the year could change.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;**Tips**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The first sets to have stickers were released from 1971 onwards.&#xD;&#xA;   [[Source]](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/10478/what-came-first-print-or-sticker)&#xD;&#xA; - Steps 2 and 3 can also be used to identify some printed parts.&#xD;&#xA; - If you find a sticker attached to a rare part or a part produced in a rare colour, it might be worth finding that part on Bricklink and finding the sets that it is used in.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/xYvYo.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://brickset.com/sets/60150-1/Pizza-Van&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?pg=60&amp;catString=160&amp;sortBy=Y&amp;sortAsc=D&amp;itemBrand=0&amp;catType=P&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://brickset.com/sets/3222-1/Helicopter-and-Limousine&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZTB4i.png&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/RiVt1.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Some sets have been available under LEGO's Education line, but these and a couple of others were released in normal retail channels in 2003:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * [set 10076: Technic Gear Wheels](https://brickset.com/sets/10076-1/Technic-Gear-Wheels)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   ![set 10076 image](https://images.brickset.com/sets/images/10076-1.jpg?200305310429)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * [set &#xD;&#xA;10074: Technic Cross Axles](https://brickset.com/sets/10074-1/Technic-Cross-Axles)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   ![](https://images.brickset.com/sets/images/10074-1.jpg?200307090846)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't see any indication that LEGO will still sell you these directly at this point.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For your purposes you probably are better off finding a Technic set that is within your price range and going with that.  Having instructions for building one or two things will help spark the imagination.  If you can't get more Technic for a birthday or other holiday that's coming up, you can always encourage them to take apart the model from instructions and try something else.  Building from a set also means you end up with a nice selection of parts.  You're not going to end up with 10x too many of one thing and none of something else that might be more useful.  Almost any set is going to have a useful selection of parts for building a variety of things.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Amazon&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Amazon has a number of similar things:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* https://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Technic-Gears-Transmission-Parts/dp/B014C3A0I2/ref=asc_df_B014C3A0I2/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=312131879690&amp;hvpos=1o1&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=18226918666857499465&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9032019&amp;hvtargid=pla-623543211247&amp;psc=1&#xD;&#xA;* https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F1M6PJJ/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1?psc=1&amp;pd_rd_i=B07F1M6PJJ&amp;pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_p=21517efd-b385-405b-a405-9a37af61b5b4&amp;pd_rd_wg=ryNVZ&amp;pf_rd_r=P9CEA0Z1S4SG7SAJR20F&amp;pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&amp;pf_rd_t=40701&amp;pd_rd_w=p0Dm8&amp;pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&amp;pd_rd_r=49423994-eb39-11e8-b188-2fb63616cf11&#xD;&#xA;* https://www.amazon.com/New-Technic-Parts-Connectors-Compatible/dp/B07B8BL2HD/ref=pd_sim_328_5?_encoding=UTF8&amp;pd_rd_i=B07B8BL2HD&amp;pd_rd_r=63555f51-eb3a-11e8-a434-bf3dbd9e97d2&amp;pd_rd_w=xNIfr&amp;pd_rd_wg=dO2LD&amp;pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&amp;pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_p=18bb0b78-4200-49b9-ac91-f141d61a1780&amp;pf_rd_r=YN1CYNNRPRE73YPVXB7G&amp;pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&amp;pf_rd_t=40701&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=YN1CYNNRPRE73YPVXB7G&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you want to get more of specific kinds of parts in &quot;bulk&quot; this is will remain a viable way to do that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# bulk&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can find LEGO by the pound on ebay and at LEGO stores not run by the LEGO group itself.  [We have a place here](https://www.yelp.com/biz/bricks-and-minifigs-concord) that you can go in and there are tables with parts to pick through.  They have tons of Technics, bricks, plates, minifig parts, Bionicle bits, etc.  You can get a bag of whatever you want for $20-$80 depending on how big the bag is.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Vendors of bulk LEGO tend to set up shop at LEGO shows and conventions.  You might discover that there are some unofficial LEGO shops in your area already.  Since they don't have the advertising dollars of the official stores they might be in your town and you've missed it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# bricklink&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[bricklink](https://www.bricklink.com/) is the ultimate ebay replacement and encyclopedic reference for LEGO sets and parts.  If you want 200 of a part in one color or 1 each of 200 different parts, this is the place to make it happen.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Conclusion&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I haven't done any bulk purchases on ebay or Amazon, but otherwise I've had good luck with LEGO sets, bulk from stores, and bricklink."

If you have the full sticker sheet, you might be able to find a part number for the sticker sheet (in this case 29583/6174606), it can usually be found at the bottom and/or near 'LEGO GROUP'. Use either [Bricklink sticker search][3] or Google to find the original set. Older LEGO sticker sheets might only use the set ID.&#xD;&#xA; 2. A lot of sets, particularly those released in the last two decades and particularly CITY sets will use the set ID on vehicle number plates. Usually for number plates, the first two letters will be the initials of the set designer and the following number would represent the set ID. They can also be found in more creative places such as a [tail number for a helicopter][4].&#xD;&#xA; 3. Google Image Search has a function called 'Search by Image', this can be found be pressing the camera icon in the Google Images search field. Take a picture of the sticker sheet, or a single identifiable sticker. Ensure that the photo is in focus, well lit and from directly above and upload.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Google will try to find keywords to match the image uploaded, this isn't always helpful so you may need to replace the keywords with 'LEGO', 'Sticker' and if possible, the theme that the set might belong to.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 4. If everything else fails, you can use the registered trademark year to narrow down the year it was produced/released. In this case, the release date must be during or after 2017. It's possible that a sticker sheet could be reprinted in following years to correct a flaw in the design and that the year could change.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;**Tips**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The first sets to have stickers were released from 1971 onwards.&#xD;&#xA;   [[Source]](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/10478/what-came-first-print-or-sticker)&#xD;&#xA; - Steps 2 and 3 can also be used to identify some printed parts.&#xD;&#xA; - If you find a sticker attached to a rare part or a part produced in a rare colour, it might be worth finding that part on Bricklink and finding the sets that it is used in.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/xYvYo.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://brickset.com/sets/60150-1/Pizza-Van&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?pg=60&amp;catString=160&amp;sortBy=Y&amp;sortAsc=D&amp;itemBrand=0&amp;catType=P&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://brickset.com/sets/3222-1/Helicopter-and-Limousine&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZTB4i.png&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/RiVt1.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Gear transmissions are favourable to belt pulley system as the teeth of the gears prevent slippage under high loads.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The motor may struggle with too many gears as the level of friction increases.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Ratchets &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Ratchets][5] (consisting of a pawl and a gear) are a mechanical device used to ensure rotary motion only proceeds in one direction. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These are notably present on roller coasters where you can hear the audible click of a pawl catching a gear as you ascend a lift hill. If the motor or cable should fail, it acts as a safety measure to prevent the coaster from falling back down the hill. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ratchets will reduce strain on the motor at the cost of putting more strain on the ratchet and limiting the direction of movement. To reverse the movement, the pawl would need to be disengaged in some way. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Alternative Power ##&#xD;&#xA;Consider how you can use alternative forms of power, depending on your design however using anything other than an electric motor may not be appropriate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you aren't concerned about producing instant motion, think about ways to store and conserve energy. An advanced solution would be to use a solid or fluid as a counterweight. Perhaps using the motor to pump water from a reservoir into a container that can counterbalance the weight you are lifting?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Other Design Considerations ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Structural Reinforcement**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is essential to identify weak links and reinforce them structurally. Ensure that parts that parts do not move unless required to. Avoid using long axles/bricks that are prone to bending as well as old/damaged pieces.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Motors**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Are you able to use more motors to share the strain of the load? If so, ensure that the construction is well balanced and each motor contributes equally (same gear ratio).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Power**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Consider using mains power to power the motors if possible. Motors using batteries will have reduced power in relation to the power left in the battery.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulley&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://youtu.be/pvE83NfbZ8g&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/UcVLb.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratchet_(device)&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ERwWn.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

While you might be able to cobble together something that sort of works, there is no substitute for the actual train parts. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The train wheels are designed in such a way that they can run smoothly on both curved and straight LEGO train tracks. If you study their shapes, you will see that they are actually quite complex. Train wheels are connected with small metal rods, instead of LEGO Technic axles, to assure a very smooth ride over the tracks. The special wheel-bases are designed to accommodate the wheels and metal axles, and are just the right length to be able to handle curved tracks. And the magnetic connectors allow easy coupling of the train cars.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While some LEGO car wheels have grooves, they are not designed to fit on LEGO train tracks. Some can sort of perch on top of the rails, but they are wobbly, and will run off the tracks easily, especially on curves. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you would like to get into LEGO trains, I recommend getting an actual LEGO train set to avoid all the hassle and frustration of trying to build something from parts that are not meant for trains. Just get the cheapest LEGO train you can find. It will give you all the parts you need to build a train, and you can always customize the engine and cars from parts you already have. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Currently, the cheapest LEGO train is the #75955 Hogwarts Express for $80. However, you can often find better prices on eBay for used LEGO trains or partial sets with only the train but no extra parts and minifigures. Also check Amazon during the holiday shopping season. They usually discount older LEGO trains by 20-30%.       " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

It does not have to be an optical encoder like the original LEGO motors have, a simple magnetic wheel with hall sensors can do just as good a job.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Marek" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

If you search for the set number, you get several entries. The top one is the entire set, and has the weight for the full sealed box with parts and instructions.

See here for an example using set 41314 Stephanie’s House.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you go into each of these entries, you will find a weight for each. In the case of 41314, the total set weighs 1340g, the instructions weigh 318g and the empty box weighs 210g. So, doing the math, the pieces alone (assuming any stickers have negligible weight) weigh 1340-210-318=812g.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don’t think there is a clear percentage for the weight of the instructions compared to the weight of the set, but feel free to use the BrickLink API to extract the above 3 pieces of information for ALL sets and calculate the average. I think you will find that the percentage varies due to a number of factors, such as: the number of instruction books used, the quality of the binding (some books are glued, some have staples), the weight of the paper used (some instructions use thinner paper than others), the set theme (IDEAS sets tend to have long explanatory stories before they dive into instructions), etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/7gb5T.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Most of the time, you'll have a specific part in a specific color in mind, and need to find it as fast as possible. But not always! Sometimes you don't care what color the part is in (invisible support structure), or maybe you can't see it (blind kids). In most cases, the form is at least as important as color, but sometimes it's just color you're after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So what is sorting? Sorting is a way to do some of the finding work in advance so that when you need that particular part, you don't have to waste too much time. You'll also win serious time on the sorting since you do it for a lot of parts at the same time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Let's assume you're after a specific part in a specific color, which will be most of the time. So that means your parts have to be sorted both by color and by form. That may prove too impractical for normal people, but keep in mind some serious builders do that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So the trick is since you have two sorting criteria, you use one at the moment of building, and the other when storing or sorting parts (with discipline&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, you'll sort when storing). Usually, you'll want to do as much tedious work when sorting, so you'll keep the color-sorting for when you're building. Color-sorting is the fastest, just think of a tub with all red bricks of all sorts and find 5 1x1 bricks in it, then picture the same task from a tub full of 1x1 bricks of all colors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Again, this depends on what you'll end up doing with the bricks; if you want to build a lot of 2-studs-wide uniform walls for example, maybe a tub with one color of 2xn bricks makes more sense than separating the 2x2, 2x3 in different color tubs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In any case, keep in mind the ideal way is to have each part in each color stored separately. If this is impractical, consider mixing parts which have as little in common as possible. If one container holds 1x3 and 1x4 bricks together, it will be more trouble to pick them apart than if you mix 1x1 and 2x3. Or, maybe you can mix 2L Technic axles with 1x2 slopes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And the last thing to consider is how many of the part you have. If you have 2000 blue 1x1 bricks, and only a few dozens of other colors, don't mix them. Separate the blue ones and the others, or better, separate the blue ones but keep a few mixed with the others, so that the nearly-2000 blue-only 1x1 bricks can go to long-term storage. Similarly, make sure that rare parts for which you only have a few are easy to find, even if that means they have to have their own storage bin (maybe they can be mixed together, though)."

Assuming you are going to break up your collection but not sort it into sets, you will likely get more money for your collection if you sell it in smaller lots sorted by color. You can get a sense for what different colors are worth per pound by searching completed listings on eBay. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, I don't believe that the answer you cited is correct in most cases (including yours). The first item listed on the [most popular answer][1] is:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 1. Sell the collection as-is (with as much honest description as you can muster and great photos if you're selling on-line).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You don't just have random bricks. Since it sounds like you have many complete or nearly complete sets, you'd be losing that value if you break everything up an sell it in 2 pound lots.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Assuming that your collection is well kept, and you don't want to do the work to sort it, I'd recommend selling it as one large lot. List the sets that you have instructions for and indicate that you believe that they are 99% complete (e.g. you aren't aware of any missing pieces or minifigs, but some have probably wandered off over the years). There are definitely people out there that buy large lots like this and separate out and sell sets for a profit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You'll want to take plenty of pictures. I'd spread things out and take as many detailed shots of the parts as you can. Experienced buyers will be able to tell pretty quickly how complete your collection is. Given that minifigs have much more value than regular parts, I'd also recommend taking photos of them in a way that allows them to all be identified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/1162/708" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

How are we all doing today! &#xD;&#xA;Hey, try these methods instead:  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. ***The Publisher's Home Page*** - DON'T directly go to the search box to search the term &quot;*LEGO city mini movies*&quot;, but instead just&#xD;&#xA;    pull up one of your official *LEGO* mini movies and click on the&#xD;&#xA;    name of the person who published the video to *YouTube*.  &#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    In this case it would be &quot;*LEGO*&quot;. So, clicking on the content creator's name, will&#xD;&#xA;    lead you to that publisher's homepage and everything they've posted&#xD;&#xA;    to *YT* like *Playlists*, *Videos*, *Community* chit-chats etc...   &#xD;&#xA;    Now, anything not created by this publisher, again *LEGO*, will not be on their&#xD;&#xA;    homepage.&#xD;&#xA; 2. ***Please Show Me More*** -  So, right below the video publisher's name and date of publication there is a video description. &#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    In this description field the publisher sometimes have links, or if&#xD;&#xA;    its a song, the song's written lyrics. Now if the description field&#xD;&#xA;    gets too long and wordy, YT will cut it off after a certain lenght,&#xD;&#xA;    and hide the rest behind the &quot;***SHOW MORE***&quot; link.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    So, try the *SHOW MORE* link to see if there's further info to&#xD;&#xA;    more official content.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 3. ***YouTube Restricted Mode On/Off***.  You can turn this on in *YouTube* settings to try to filter videos with potentially mature content, but note: Filters are not 100% accurate.   &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;***Phone App - Restricted Mode On/Off***&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Open *YouTube* app.&#xD;&#xA; 2. Tap 3 dots in the top right of screen.&#xD;&#xA; 3. Look for gray &quot;Gear Cog&quot; to access &quot;settings&quot;.&#xD;&#xA; 4. In settings, look for &quot;Restricted Mode Filtering&quot;.&#xD;&#xA; 5. Choose either &quot;Don't Filter&quot; or &quot;Strict&quot;. Done.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  &#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;***Desktop computer - Restricted Mode On/Off:***&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1.

How are you all doing today?&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Please try these methods instead:  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. ***The Publisher's Home Page*** - DON'T go directly to the search box to search the term &quot;*LEGO city mini movies*&quot;, but instead just&#xD;&#xA;    pull up one of your official *LEGO* mini movies and click on the&#xD;&#xA;    name of the person who published the video to *YouTube*.  &#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    In this case it would be &quot;*LEGO*&quot;. So, clicking on the content creator's name will&#xD;&#xA;    lead you to that publisher's homepage and everything they've posted&#xD;&#xA;    to *YT*, such as *Playlists*, *Videos*, *Community* chit-chats, etc...   &#xD;&#xA;    Now, anything not created by this publisher, again *LEGO*, will not be on their&#xD;&#xA;    homepage.&#xD;&#xA; 2. ***Please Show Me More*** -  So, right below the video publisher's name and date of publication there is a video description. &#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    In this description field the publisher sometimes has links, or if&#xD;&#xA;    its a song, the song's written lyrics. Now, if the description field&#xD;&#xA;    gets too long and wordy, YT will cut it off after a certain length,&#xD;&#xA;    and hide the rest behind the &quot;***SHOW MORE***&quot; link.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    So, try the *SHOW MORE* link to see if there's further info to&#xD;&#xA;    more official content.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 3. ***YouTube Restricted Mode On/Off***.  You can turn this on in *YouTube* settings to try to filter videos with potentially mature content, but note: Filters are not 100% accurate.   &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;***Phone App - Restricted Mode On/Off***&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Open *YouTube* app.&#xD;&#xA; 2. Tap 3 dots in the top right of screen.&#xD;&#xA; 3. Look for gray &quot;Gear Cog&quot; to access &quot;settings&quot;.&#xD;&#xA; 4. In settings, look for &quot;Restricted Mode Filtering&quot;.&#xD;&#xA; 5. Choose either &quot;Don't Filter&quot; or &quot;Strict&quot;. Done.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  &#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;***Desktop computer - Restricted Mode On/Off:***&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1.

This 8880 seems to be near mint condition, and should fetch you a nice return should you choose to sell it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Speaking both as an experienced buyer of used LEGO sets as well as an owner of an used 8880, my personal priority list of criteria is the following:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. **Completeness**: are all pieces present, are they the correct ones (color, part design, prints, stickers)?&#xD;&#xA; 2. **Physical state of the pieces**: are the rubber parts cracked or still flexible, do the bricks have scratches, teeth marks, scribbles, or ...gasp... maybe even *glue* on them?&#xD;&#xA; 3. **State of the prints**: were they preserved in a good condition, or have they chipped, faded, discolored, etc?&#xD;&#xA; 4. **State of the stickers**: are they even applied at all or still on the sticker sheet, if applied then how precisely, did they fade, discolor, crack or chip?&#xD;&#xA;  41. **For STOMPs** (STicker Over Multiple Pieces): were they applied correctly, were any torn or were they cut neatly, is there maybe dirt or dust on the strip of sticker exposed between two pieces?&#xD;&#xA; 6. **Instruction sheet(s)**: are they present, in what condition: earmarks, tears, binding, have they been doodled upon, have they faded or discolored?&#xD;&#xA; 7. **Box**: Is it present, does it show any damage due to storage, water, mold, shipping, was it opened carefully or torn open?&#xD;&#xA; 8. *(Disclaimer: This criteria is actually a lot more important than many above but it can almost never be known or judged before buying.)*&#xD;&#xA;**Shipping**: Does the set ship with adequate packaging that ensures no pieces get lost in transit (I have received boxes that had holes in them large enough for smaller pieces to fall through), does the seller use appropriate amounts of packaging material to ensure the pieces don't get scratched up too much during transit?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note again, these are MY PERSONAL priorities, and thus reflect my attitude which priorizes function over looks, over collectability. Other possible buyers might not care for the exact design of a half-bush or the correct generation of a 8T gear, but might place more emphasis on the stickers or the box for example."

Wheels on one side of the car seem to work sporadically. Could this be related to the steering joint and Cardan joint below?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Steering joint][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;[![cardan joint][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Or the differentials?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![differential][5]][5] (image taken from https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/3065/is-it-possible-to-create-a-differential-if-i-dont-have-it-as-a-ready-to-use-ele)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. It's too weak.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A wool carpet of 2cm thick is an insurmountable problem for the car to climb on it and go, especially for the last wheel or pair of wheels that have to pass the carpet's border (and difference in level), regardless which ones have to do it (back or front).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Are there too many differentials? Too many tooth gears? Too much elastic parts to deal with the torque?

Is one XL motor too weak? Would be more powerful with two motors (in the back)? Which kind?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Batteries are OK for 9398, so it's not them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Did anybody tried this MOC?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sorry to have too much questions, it seems I need more experience with LEGO Technic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**UPDATE**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have changed it consistently, adding a gear down for each wheel (horizontally) and that made it 4L longer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, moved the steering motor in front and the up/down and winch motor in the middle (switched their places), using a servo for steering.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As result, it is a bit more powerful, it climbs the carpet now, but I need to work more on the steering because it is not that smooth when it comes back in the default position. 9398 is better at going back to the default steering position. Also, 9398 is more powerful as it gears down 3 times instead of one.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Overall, the new design feels better, yet too lazy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.moc-pages.com/moc.php/340947&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-0308/unroller/8297-4x4-offroader-rc/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6Wcq4.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/3pL4B.png&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/MrrWk.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://rebrickable.com/external/view/?action=BI&amp;url=https%3A//docs.google.com/open%3Fid%3D0B6p_C0b8jM_ySTJXS1V3WFNPaG8&amp;designer_id=4313&amp;set_num=MOC-0308&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/J8G5z.png&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/uXgD0.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

But building simple modular toys with interlocking bricks is a lot more complex than it seems. Their most popular set - the police station - is completely redesigned every few years to keep up with the times.

[This on the right side][1] is a very obviously visible example, others might be much smaller and better hidden. A missing ID would obviously indicate a fake piece. But even if it is present you can cross-check the existing LEGO piece databases to see if the part ID does indeed represent the part you have.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Should a bootleg company go to the lengths to correctly add all such markings, you can still take a  known genuine part of the same color and/or design and check for any differences in hue or dimensions. LEGO has notoriously tight tolerances when it comes to either color or precise size. You can check the material as well, fakes could have different weight, sheen, flexibility, clutch power or could feel different to the touch.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And in the unthinkable case when a competitor manages to get all markings, dimension, material properties and color right, can evade all inherent lawsuits and their prices are not egregiously high then they maybe deserve to be used as &quot;real&quot; LEGO pieces :)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But only then ;)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://sariel.pl/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/newt16.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

It is an interesting read: &#xD;&#xA;https://uploads.brickset.com/docs/clonebrands_v1.8.pdf&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Keep in mind that, while clone brands may be cheaper at the beginning, they have minimal or no resale value, and thus can end up being more expensive than genuine LEGO. Because of LEGO's quality, reputation and popularity, you can always resell your collection once your kids outgrow them, and thus recoup the money you spent (as long as your kids kept them in reasonably good condition). Clones are hard to even give away, not to speak of selling.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another thing to consider is safety. LEGO puts tremendous care and effort into making sure that their products are safe. This is not always the case with cheap imitators. Children often put toys in their mouths. You don't want to expose them to lead-based paints on printed items and leaching plastics.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Mega-Bloks and Kre-O should be safe as they are made by leading toy manufacturers with a long history. Their products are not the same quality as LEGO, so the resale value is not as good, but at least you know they won't poison your kids. It is best to stick with products with proven safety records rather than choosing toys just because they are cheap.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, you might consider the educational value of LEGO. It is not just a toy, but a system for building and learning. Math, science, coordination, engineering and creativity are all integral part of building with LEGO, and many schools and educational institutions use LEGO as part of their curriculum. So if you look at the whole package - quality, safety, and value - LEGO will still likely be your best option.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Based on your original post it appears that your children already have a good amount of LEGO, but they keep asking for more. I would suggest that you explore new activities with the LEGO they already have. LEGO provides many alternate building instructions, project suggestions, games, and lessons on their website, and there are also third-party websites, books and other materials to let your children explore the endless possibilities even a handful of LEGO bricks can provide.   &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

It involves taking a precise measurement of the device's location and orientation, setting up a known orientation for both motors as zero, and porting a known solar-tracking algorithm to the EV3 (like [this][2] or [this][3]). The resulting setup then must not be shut down, moved or rotated since the control of the motors is done by an algorithm which only takes into account the starting conditions (spatial and temporal) and the elapsed time. The accuracy of the EV3 internal clock may also factor into the precision if the project is to be left running for a long time. As an added bonus, you don't need the color sensor at all.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Using iterative methods ##&#xD;&#xA;This approach requires a lot less intial setup but offers a not-so polished end result. The basic premise is using the color sensor to get an estimation of the amount of the light incoming from the current direction, then comparing it with the measurement(s) from some other direction(s), finally turning toward the higher value.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are two problems to be solved here: first, the current position of the Sun (or its equivalent if you are indoors) must be found among all possible orientations. This is an example of the mathematical operation known as finding the global maxima of a two-dimensional function on a constrained range, where the two input dimensions are the [altitude][4] and the [azimuth][5] and the output is the measured amount of light coming from the given direction.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then, the software must account for the inevitable changes due to the relative movement of the Sun in the sky. Since you have chosen this way and not the first (**Calculation**), you can not know in advance which direction the Sun will move in. So you can only attempt to find it again after a set amount of time or after the measured brightness drops to (or by) a specified amount.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are countless ways this approach can be fine-tuned, depending on the precision of the motors, the precision, update rate and measuring range of the sensor, the amount of location and orientation information known beforehand, the required precision of the resulting system, the allowed complexity of the software, etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The most basic and a **very** ineffective system would consist of the following pseudocode:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    repeat forever:&#xD;&#xA;        oldBrightness = read(colorSensor)&#xD;&#xA;        movementXAxis = getRandom(-10, 10) // decide on a random direction to turn to&#xD;&#xA;        movementYAxis = getRandom(-10, 10)&#xD;&#xA;        moveXAxis(movementXAxis)           // turn to the new direction&#xD;&#xA;        moveYAxis(movementYAxis)&#xD;&#xA;        newBrightness = read(colorSensor)&#xD;&#xA;        if(newBrightness &lt; oldBrightness)  // if the new direction is worse than the old&#xD;&#xA;            moveXAxis(-movementXAxis)      // then turn back to the old direction&#xD;&#xA;            moveYAxis(-movementYAxis)&#xD;&#xA;        wait(someTime)                     // bask in the sun for a while :)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This of course can be updated with more advanced logic, including but not limited to &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - paying attention to the amount of difference between the old and new measurements&#xD;&#xA; - moving first in larger steps to get a coarse direction and then refine it further with smaller steps&#xD;&#xA; - staying pointed in a direction longer if the brightness is higher there&#xD;&#xA; - moving continuously in one direction while the brightness is increasing and stopping when it starts to fall&#xD;&#xA; - storing directions and corresponding measurements to create a 2D function which can be analysed using mathematical methods to find the best result&#xD;&#xA; - storing historical data to predict and account for changes in the long run&#xD;&#xA; - (but by now you are practically in the complexity region of the **Calculation**-way)&#xD;&#xA; - etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Consult the [relevant Wikipedia page][6] for some advanced reading material and as a starting point if you are interested in learning more about the applicable algorithms.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altazimuth_mount&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://heliostat.sourceforge.net/software.html&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://www.cerebralmeltdown.com/arduino-sun-tracking-heliostat-program-documentation/&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altitude&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azimuth&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_optimization" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I  have found that 'FLEGO' (my term for fake LEGO) is more brittle and shatters when subject to forces that LEGO has no problem with.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For example, I recently had a mini-fig torso that I tried to pull the arms off of, and both completely shattered. Real LEGO mini-figures you can pull the arms off of as much as you want, with little effect on the parts. Older torsos will sometimes develop a waste to armpit crack, I suspect this is more a result of age than excessive force.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I suspect that their ABS formula is producing harder, and more brittle bricks that will break rather than bend. I found several bricks in the same lot that were completely shattered, with rather sharp edges. This is something I have never seen in real LEGO bricks.  " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Realising their potential, Ole modified the Kiddicraft brick and in 1949 marketed his own version, The Automatic Binding Brick.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Example of an Automatic Binding Brick set :&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Automatic Binding Brick became Lego brick in 1953. So, basically, this means that Lego actually started off as a direct knock-off of Kiddicraft. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Separated from his wife, and with the stress of his business ventures, Page committed suicide in 1957. British Lego Ltd. was set up in late 1959 and the first sets were sold the following year. Lego eventually acquired the rights to Kiddicraft in 1981. In an out-of-court settlement, Lego paid £45,000 to the new owners of Page's company Hestair-Kiddicraft. It subsequently purged all references to Page and Kiddicraft from its published history.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;______________&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### The rise of the Chinese clone brands&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lego filed its first patent in 1958. Several other patents would follow. However, these patents had all expired in 1989. And ever since then, a number of companies have produced interlocking bricks nearly identical to (and compatible with) Lego bricks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Especially in China, a wide range of brands have popped up, including (but not exclusive to) Banbao, Lele, Lepin, Kopf, XingBao, Englighten, Kazi, Gudi &amp; Ausini. Some brands, like Lepin, blatantly copy LEGO sets in every detail, clearly enfringing European &amp; American copyright law. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Most brands, however, produce their their own sets, with their own unique designs. This includes anything from medieval or city themed sets to complete modular buildings. Many of these brands also include themes Lego avoids, like WW2 or Vietnam era military themes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Example of an Ausini set :&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Example of a Kazi set :&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;______________&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### My question&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the AFOL community, I've noticed a great amount of hostility (even outright hate) against Chinese clone brands. Both companies producing such clone brands and the people buying them are often labeled anything from mildly immoral to pure evil, because they supposedly &quot;steal&quot; from Lego or the companies it licenses from.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, considering Lego itself started out by blatantly copying the design of blocks that were parented by Kiddicraft &amp; tried to hide these facts from its customers in decent decades, how does that make Lego any better? Is not Lego just as guilty of violating another company's IP? If &quot;stealing&quot; another company's IP is evil, does that not make Lego just as evil?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Why does Lego get a pass for copying another brand and thereby possibly even contributing to the suicide of the original creator? Why does Lego get a pass for trying to hide the history of self-locking building bricks prior to Lego?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Is it not utterly hypocritical to be so hostile against Chinese clone brands for cloning Lego designs while Lego would not have existed if it not were for doing the exact same thing with another brand? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/0MwVr.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/lI77W.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/B0Ahp.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/MUxQt.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Buying a &quot;rival&quot; company (Kiddicraft) later on is nothing unusual in business history. Therefore, blaming Page's death on LEGO does not make much sense. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Regarding chinese brands, one has to make a difference between using a compatible plastic brick system (which everyone is allowed to do) and copying complete sets, including minifigs and the logo (which is illegal). Some clone brands create sets that LEGO fans would like to see not only as MOCs but as official LEGO sets. There is nothing wrong with compatible systems even if the quality often is lower than LEGO standards.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, LEGO and Lepin cannot be compared in this way.

Although LEGO may have been inspired by the Kiddiecraft prototype, LEGO bricks are not direct copies of the Kiddiecraft and other similar designs that were released by various companies in the 1930s. Kiddiecraft's bricks and similar toys were hollow on the underside with nobs on their tops. They didn't really connect well as the only thing keeping them together was the edges of the bricks. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;LEGO's unique contribution to the interlocking brick were the tubes underneath the bricks, which allows a sturdy and versatile connection. This is what LEGO received a patent for. In addition to the original LEGO brick, LEGO continues to design and manufacture thousands of different elements to make up their building system. To say that they are clones of Kiddiecraft and similar early brands is simply incorrect. Kiddiecraft and other early toy companies only made square and/or rectangular bricks. LEGO uses thousands of other unique pieces in their sets.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as other companies making construction toys with interlocking bricks, most LEGO fan have no issues with other construction toys, as long as they are high quality, and don't blatantly rip off LEGO's designs. There is a big difference between a company like Mega Construx, Oxford, Kre-O, etc. that releases their own designs, vs. a company like Lepin that simply copies LEGO sets and releases them as their own. The former would be referred to as legitimate construction toy brands, and the latter as clone brands or knock-off brands. Construction toy brands are perfectly legal. Clone brands are not.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's just like there are many car brands. Are they clones of each other? To some extent, yes. Cars often use the same or similar components, and they need to follow certain standards to be legally running on our roads. So they will look similar in many ways. And historically, there are carts, wagons, chariots and other four-wheeled vehicles that preceded them and inspired the modern car design. To say that a modern Ford is just a clone of a wagon from the middle ages and therefore they have no right to fight someone who tries to rip off their current design wouldn't work well as an argument.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;LEGO (and other legitimate construction toy manufacturers) have their own set designers, own part designers, they do their research, they work with children and collectors to see what they like, pay their taxes, provide excellent customer service, stand behind their work, and make an effort to be valuable contributors to society. Knock-off companies, on the other hand, simply try to profit from the hard work of others. They notice something is popular, so they copy it, and sell a cheaper version of the same product. (Of course they can do that, as they don't have to take the same risks and pay the same expenses as a legitimate company would).  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This doesn't just happen to LEGO. It happens to manufacturers of  cars, shoes, bags, watches, and a myriad of other items. If we, as a society, let knock-off companies get away with blatant stealing just because they can offer us cheaper prices, legitimate companies will simply loose the incentive to produce anything valuable and may even go out of business. Why bother hiring educated and talented designers, why use the best quality manufacturing facilities and raw materials, why care about what people want, when all their hard work is going to be stolen anyway? If we want to advance (or even just maintain) as a society, we need to protect the work of those who provide original contribution and substantial value. There are always going to be people who have no problem with stealing from others. It is in our best long-term interest not to encourage them by supporting their activities.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hope this helps a little and gives some food for thought. I'm sure others will also share valuable insights. Play well! :) " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

The same could be done by Enlighten (as other Chinese brands have done to a greater or lesser degree of success), but Enlighten and others have chosen to exactly copy LEGO's designs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * Morning Star:&lt;br /&gt;[![Morning Star from Ambush Tumbrel][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA; * Waving Pendant:&lt;br /&gt;[![Blue wavy pendant from Ambush Tumbrel][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA; * Classic Castle Helm, Monkey and Bat:&lt;br /&gt;[![Helm, Monkey and Bat from Enlighten Sentry Post][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA; * Cherry Minidolls:&lt;br /&gt;[![Minidolls][7]][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xA;I'll admit that I'd like to see more variety, and have been known to buy the odd Mega Bloks Halo and Character Building Doctor Who sets as they were available legitimately here in the UK, which isn't the case with Enlighten or LEPIN.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/9692/im-missing-a-few-pieces-in-my-xingbao-set#comment11465_9693&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/9692/im-missing-a-few-pieces-in-my-xingbao-set#comment11452_9693&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/754/56&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/uovD6.png&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/VPtI5.png&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/hM1wk.png&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/4cawd.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Along with several partners, Page decided to go into the toy business in 1932. In 1936, he began manufacturing Kiddicraft ‘Sensible’ toys using new injection moulding technology. Among them was an Interlocking Building Cube, for which he received a British patent in 1940.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After WW2, Page designed and produced the Kiddicraft Self-Locking Building Bricks. These were smaller, refined versions of the Interlocking Building Cube. Bricks could be stacked on each other and were held in place by studs on the top. The bricks also featured slits on their side that allowed panel-like doors, windows or cards to be inserted. He patented the basic design, a 2 X 4 studded brick, in 1947. This was later followed by patents for the side slits (1949) and the baseplate (1952), designs featured in exhibits at the Brighton Toy and Model Museum.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Example of a Kiddicraft set:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;______________&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### How Lego &quot;stole&quot; Kiddicraft's ideas and purged Page's name&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ole Kirk Christiansen and his son Godtfred became aware of the Kiddicraft brick after examining a sample, and possibly drawings, given to them by the British supplier of the first injection moulding machine they had purchased. Realising their potential, Ole modified the Kiddicraft brick and in 1949 marketed his own version, The Automatic Binding Brick.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Example of an Automatic Binding Brick set:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Automatic Binding Brick became Lego brick in 1953. So, basically, this means that Lego actually started off as a direct knock-off of Kiddicraft. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Separated from his wife, and with the stress of his business ventures, Page committed suicide in 1957. British Lego Ltd. was set up in late 1959 and the first sets were sold the following year. Lego eventually acquired the rights to Kiddicraft in 1981. In an out-of-court settlement, Lego paid £45,000 to the new owners of Page's company Hestair-Kiddicraft. It subsequently purged all references to Page and Kiddicraft from its published history.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;______________&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### The rise of the Chinese clone brands&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lego filed its first patent in 1958. Several other patents would follow. However, these patents had all expired in 1989. And ever since then, a number of companies have produced interlocking bricks nearly identical to (and compatible with) Lego bricks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Especially in China, a wide range of brands have popped up, including (but not exclusive to) Banbao, Lele, Lepin, Kopf, XingBao, Englighten, Kazi, Gudi &amp; Ausini. Some brands, like Lepin, blatantly copy LEGO sets in every detail, clearly enfringing European &amp; American copyright law. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Most brands, however, produce their their own sets, with their own unique designs. This includes anything from medieval or city themed sets to complete modular buildings. Many of these brands also include themes Lego avoids, like WW2 or Vietnam era military themes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Example of an Ausini set:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Example of a Kazi set:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;______________&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### My question&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the AFOL community, I've noticed a great amount of hostility (even outright hate) against Chinese clone brands. Both companies producing such clone brands and the people buying them are often labeled anything from mildly immoral to pure evil, because they supposedly &quot;steal&quot; from Lego or the companies it licenses from.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, considering Lego itself started out by blatantly copying the design of blocks that were parented by Kiddicraft &amp; tried to hide these facts from its customers in decent decades, how does that make Lego any better? Is not Lego just as guilty of violating another company's IP? If &quot;stealing&quot; another company's IP is evil, does that not make Lego just as evil?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Why does Lego get a pass for copying another brand and thereby possibly even contributing to the suicide of the original creator? Why does Lego get a pass for trying to hide the history of self-locking building bricks prior to Lego?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Is it not utterly hypocritical to be so hostile against Chinese clone brands for cloning Lego designs while Lego would not have existed if it not were for doing the exact same thing with another brand? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/0MwVr.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/lI77W.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/B0Ahp.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/MUxQt.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

For example, Self-Locking Building Brick and Automatic Binding Bricks were not compatible with each other or sold in the same country, so it wasn't like each company was specifically trying to make a product to replace their, competitor's product.

We've pushed so hard to protect the &quot;authors&quot; that their monopoly on their creations lasts for decades after they've deceased.  The Eastern World seems to take a very factory-centric view of IP.  If you have a factory you can build it.  The expectation in China is that you will share any improvements to the IP back with the community.  This has been very effective at letting China build the largest manufacturing base in the world across numerous forms of technology.  They don't seem to have any desire to waste time on licensing or policing pirates.  That seems like a natural extension of their fundamental attitude toward IP.  Just as naturally we westerners interpret it as piracy and assume that rule of law is also not important to them.  This is an oversimplification and we might get along better if we understood the other sides priorities and motivations better.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Clone LEGO&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I'm obviously not a fan of copyrights that last 100+ years.  One of the things that I've admired about LEGO is that they focused on patenting their early LEGO bricks instead of copyrighting them.  I'm sorry that they were sly about borrowing the idea from a competitor.  I'm glad they were more successful at popularizing it than their competitor.  I'm glad they both had factories to try to succeed with.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As an AFOL that has some clone sets as gifts now and then I can say that I've been disappointed by the quality every time.  Getting rough spots that need to be filed down doesn't seem fun to me.  Having some bricks that fit and some that don't doesn't seem to show much effort on the cloners part.  Worst of all is bricks that fall apart.  If you can't get the clutch power right you shouldn't have put it in a box.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With comprehensive views like [Communist LEGO](https://uploads.brickset.com/docs/clonebrands_v1.8.pdf) it seems clear that there are some interesting things happening with clone LEGO.  I can see myself buying more of it someday.  Most of my money will be going for &quot;real&quot; LEGO's because I don't have to worry about quality and I'm very pleased with the creativity they show themselves.  Another reason for sticking with LEGO is the community.  Where's a part or set database for clone brands?  Where's a part and set market like bricklink?  If those things make your life better you should usually stick with LEGO too." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

It's probably fair to say Lepin does, given that they literally copy Lego designs brick-for-brick, but other companies like Mega Bloks doesn't.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In my experience, only one thing really maters, and that's quality. Other brands try to undercut Lego by producing lower-quality pieces. In manufacturing, you pay for precision. The smaller your tolerances, the more it costs, and Lego is famous for their small tolerances, as low 10 micrometres.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To save a few bucks, other brands will allow for greater tolerances, and thus produce a lower-quality product, with pieces that are more likely to wear out or not really stick together well in the first place. They also like to cheat a little by producing oversized specialized pieces that make their models look bigger on the cheap, but ultimately leaves you with a piece that has very little reuse value.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Any little mistake, and the model won't work. LEGO Technic sets are not easy to build, as you have to pay careful attention to each and every step. In addition, if you do make a mistake, the models are not nearly as easy to take apart as regular LEGO sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Your issue could be anywhere. It could be a mistake of where you connected a part, you could have used the wrong part in a step, or it could be that you made one or more of the connections too tight. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Unfortunately, there is no way around it; you will have to retrace your steps and disassemble the model until you find the issue. You could take apart the whole thing and start over, or you could reverse your steps carefully, until you find the problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To avoid such issues in the future, you should test that everything is still working after each step. In other words, if you are adding working gears in one step, and in the next step you are instructed to add more gears or some other components, test to make sure that everything is still working correctly when you add the additional parts. You should do this after every new section. It makes building a bit slower, but it assures that the finished model is working right.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Although LEGO Technic sets are challenging builds, they are also some of the most rewarding. You can learn quite a bit about mechanics, engineering, and complex machines." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

They all use a 6 stud gauge, so with a bit of fiddling, you can use all of the systems together. If you want to be most compatible with the current track offerings, you're better off with 9V and RC/PF track. [This question][1] discusses the specific compatibility issues in more detail.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are several other train systems that have been used that are not compatible (DUPLO trains, 4 guage rails, etc), but I'll just cover the common 6 gauge systems here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The different types of train track can be divided into a few main eras.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Blue Era (1966 - 1980)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A track section consisted of 2 rails connected by regular 2x8 plates. The rails themselves were blue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![blue straight rails][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Trains could be either pushed by hand along the track, powered via 3 batteries (4.5V system), or powered via a third conducting rail added to the center of the track (12V system). Here are what the conducting rails for the 12V system look like:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![12V conducting rails][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some people still prefer the 12V system because it included more remote controlled components than the later 9V or RC/PF systems. With later systems, the only thing that is easily remote controlled is the train itself, whereas the 12V system included remote controlled points, light, and decouplers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Each era included straight track, curved track, switches, and cross track.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![blue points][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![blue cross track][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Gray Era (1980 - 1991)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These rails are generally the same as the blue rails aside from the new gray color.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![straight gray rails][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The sleepers were moved closer together (3 per section rather than 2), and they were changed to a specialized part to improve the strength of the connection.

By doing this you learn all kinds of ways to put the parts together to make functional models. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I bought a Lego Mindstorms (v2)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I assume you're talking about the NXT? If I remember correctly, there is an instruction manual with instructions for a simple wheeled/tracked vehicle, and several other robots are included in the software. Pick one (or all of them!) and start building! You'll notice that there really aren't that many different types of parts:  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Beams are the main structural component of the model. Pins and axles connect to them.&#xD;&#xA; - [Pins][1] connect beams together. They come in several shapes for different situations.&#xD;&#xA; - Axles rotate smoothly and support the wheels, motors, and gears. They can also be used as long pins. Use [bushings][2] or [half-bushings][3] to prevent axles from sliding out of their beam holes.&#xD;&#xA; - [Connectors][4] like this one allow you to attach beams and other parts at an angle to each other. These [big pins][5] are excellent for 90-degree angles.&#xD;&#xA; - Gears transfer/multiply torque. See [this guide][6] on gears.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For a simple wheeled/tracked robot, the basic design process is:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Build a sturdy chassis for the robot out of beams. Usually this frame is built around the motors. Since the motors are kinda weirdly shaped, consult other robots' instructions for tips on how to position them and attach them to beams.&#xD;&#xA; - Attach wheels to the motors using axles and bushings. You can change how fast the wheels move using programming or gears.&#xD;&#xA; - Attach the NXT to the top of the robot, so build up some structure from the frame to support it.&#xD;&#xA; - Wire the motors to the NXT outputs (A, B, and C), plug the thing into your computer, start programming.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But all of this becomes more apparent and obvious after you've built a few robots from the instructions.

They are US based, make all their light kits with thought and care, and stand behind their products. I especially like that their lights can be controlled for various light-effects and intensities. Flickering soft lights for candles and fireplaces, bright pulsating lights for emergency vehicles, etc. They are, however, expensive. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm not familiar with the other company, but it seems like they are just resellers of the light kits made by Chinese companies and resold by a number of websites (BrickLoot.com is another one that I'm aware of selling these kits, but there are others as well). I do have some samples of these products, and they are okay. Not as good as BrickStuff, but more affordable. By &quot;not as good&quot; I mean that the components are not as high quality, and the connections are often not as clean and nicely finished as with BrickStuff products. You also get a lot smaller variety of lights and effects. But they do work, and are usually cheaper than BrickStuff.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Whatever light kit you end up using, be prepared to be running lots of very tiny and delicate wires. This makes the interior spaces of the buildings/vehicles (where you will be hiding the wires) less attractive and less usable. BrickStuff does have some suggestions of minimizing the visibility of unsightly wires, but ultimately, they can't be avoided. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Having all those wires running also makes the models hard to play with. For example, if you install light kits in the LEGO Modular Buildings, lifting off the floors is going to be tedious. The wires are also delicate, so you want to be careful around them so they don't get damaged. Light kits with wires work best with display models that won't be moved around.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While personally I prefer BrickStuff when it comes to wired light kits, I haven't fully committed to them, as I like to keep my displays modular and accessible for play, display, and modification. Currently, I'm waiting for the release of i-Brix.com products. These are wireless lights for LEGO that work with the same technology as wireless chargers for electronics. The system includes a special transmitting surface that you can place under baseplates, road-plates, etc., and any i-Bricks lights you use over this surface will automatically light up.

Most of them are Chinese brands, but there's also several brands from other countries.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's but some of this long list of brands :&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Ausini (China)&#xD;&#xA; - [Cobi][1] (Poland)&#xD;&#xA; - [Enlighten][2] (China)&#xD;&#xA; - [Lepin][3] (China)&#xD;&#xA; - [Mega Blocks][4] (Canada)&#xD;&#xA; - Oxford Blocks (South-Korea)&#xD;&#xA; - Sembo (China)&#xD;&#xA; - [Sluban][5] (China)&#xD;&#xA; - Wange (China)&#xD;&#xA; - [Xingbao][6] (China)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lepin is a brand specialized in cloning complete Lego sets, from individual pieces &amp; minifigs to instructions and box art. That means this brand is véry controversial and buying it may be illegal in your country. The quality of the bricks is very good, though, although Lepin sets are more likely to have missing bricks or poorly moulded bricks than Lego sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All other brands listed sell their own sets with their own unique designs. The quality &amp; price varies significantly from brand to brand.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In my experience, Oxford provides the highest quality, and in fact may even provide better quality than Lego in some aspects. However, it's also at a similar price range as Lego and not a good option if cost is a primary criterion for looking at other brands.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;XingBao also provides high quality sets, including some modular buildings with piece counts &gt; 4,000. And while not without flaws, the designs of these modular buildings is on par with those sold by Lego, at a fraction of the cost. XingBao has the same mother company as Lepin, however, sort of a &quot;legal&quot; branch of the same company. So you may want to avoid it of you have a problem with Lepin's business practices.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For a brand that is almost as high quality as XingBao but which isn't shrouded in the same controversy, you might want to check out Enlighten. Especially their recent sets are pretty high quality. They don't sell any sets as complex as modular buildings, though.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Where can you buy these brands, you might want to know? For non-Chinese brands like Oxford or Cobi, you might want to check out Ebay or Amazon. For Chinese brands, the most popular venue is [AliExpress][7].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://cobi.pl/en/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.enlighten-brick.com/eng.html&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://lepinblock.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://www.megabloks.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://www.slubanshop.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://xingbaoblocks.com/xingbao/website/product/prod.htm&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://www.aliexpress.com/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Finding and correcting such an error will most probably involve disassembling the whole bodywork and some of the undercarriage, then rebuilding everything back again.

This will allow your child to really understand how Power Functions works. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If he is more into traditional LEGO building with standard LEGO System pieces, one of the LEGO City Trains with Power Functions would be the best options. They include all the Power Functions elements needed to operate the train, and he can also reuse these parts in his own custom LEGO creations once he understands how they work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If he is into advanced mechanical builds, the LEGO Technic line is a great option. Some LEGO Technic sets come with Power Functions already included, but they tend to be large and expensive. Others do not come with Power Functions, but alternate instructions for adding Power Functions are made available either in the instruction booklet, or at LEGO's website.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some LEGO Creator Expert sets also have alternate instructions with Power Functions added. The #10257 LEGO Creator Carousel and the #10247 LEGO Creator Ferris Wheel are some examples. Again, with these sets you have to purchase the Power Functions elements separately, but it is made very clear what is needed and how to install the parts. (LEGO Power Functions components are available individually at LEGO's Online Shop.) &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please note that currently there are two LEGO Power Functions systems on the market, and they are NOT compatible. One is the original LEGO Power Functions system (now referred to as LEGO Power Functions 1.0), and the other is LEGO Powered Up (also referred to as LEGO Power Functions 2.0). The new system has similar components, but they are not interchangeable, and they cannot be mixed. The new system works with Bluetooth wile the old system uses IR. The new system can be operated either by a traditional remote or an app. The old system only works with a remote.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, it is a good idea to make a decision right now which system you want to invest in, and pay careful attention that sets and components you buy are compatible with the system you choose. In general, you can power LEGO sets with either systems, even if it calls for the other system, although some features may not work, or not work exactly the same. The components have a similar size and shape (i.e. you can install the new Power Function system in sets that were designed with old Power Functions in mind).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as resources for custom Power Functions projects, I found YouTube to be the most helpful. Power Functions can be a bit complex, so seeing exactly how something is installed can be very useful. Once your son learns the concept of how Power Functions works with an official set, he will start to have his own ideas of what he wants to power. At that point, he can do a search on YouTube, and will probably find someone who already worked on a similar project. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One of the most well-known and respected LEGO Technic and LEGO Power Functions builders is Sariel. His YouTube channel is full of tips, tricks, custom builds, and reviews of official LEGO Technic and LEGO Power Functions sets. His channel is professional and child-friendly: https://www.youtube.com/user/searme/videos &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give you an idea, here is a video by Sariel with some more advanced tips and tricks for using LEGO Power Functions: https://youtu.be/vfIBGIIleCI&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

The 2304 motors they used take up a bit of space, and typically LEGO motors aren't manufactured to have a very precise speed, so when connecting more I would think a differential would be need for each (except the first), they also take up space. If you could fit more motors (and differentials) in there, you would theoretically increase its power, as things are I think (but the physics is not really my area) it's hard to tell if it would manifest itself as more speed and if such how much, but it wouldn't be impressive. I don't see any other ways to increase the speed than adding more motors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.topgear.com/car-news/supercars/behold-full-size-lego-bugatti-chiron" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

By avoiding unnecessary parts the students' attention will not be drawn from the topic at hand, e.g. they will be more inclined to listen and cooperate if they are not wondering about or playing with the bucket lifting mechanism of 8071.&#xD;&#xA; 3. The less parts included in the design, the less chances for something to go wrong.&#xD;&#xA; 4. Some space is needed in order to mount the required hardware (motor, batteries, receiver, anything inbetween) and this space is best left open for easy access to inspect, explain, debug, repair, replace, etc.&#xD;&#xA; 5. This approach leaves many ways to upgrade the &quot;final result&quot;, either functionally (adding lights, brakes, etc), aesthetically (building a great looking body), electronically (adding additional subsystems like a parking assistant) or mechanically (include advanced steering geometries, suspension, etc) if you or the students wish to do so.&#xD;&#xA; 6. Minimizing the time required to build the mechanical part leaves that much more time for the intended topic of the workshop (the electronics).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Therefore I'd recommend building a simple steered front axle without suspension, a rear axle that is nothing more than an axle and two wheels and slapping both on a large plate or any equivalent flat assembly."

This allows you to steer quickly and easily without the fuss of a traditional steering system.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Batmobile is $100 MSRP, and can be found on sale. The included motor controller is Bluetooth based, and can be remote controlled via a smart device or custom software on a laptop. Basically, that set meets your needs if you can afford it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If that is too expensive for you, I'd still encourage you to consider using a similar design using official LEGO motors. It's relatively complicated to integrate off-the-shelf motors with LEGO (I did this a lot as a kid), and the official motors are actually quite cheap these days. You can pick up [Power Functions M Motors for $7.49][3]:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![PF M Motor][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That's $15 for the pair. You'd just need to cut off the Power Functions connector and connect the motor to your driver. This saves you the fuss of mounting your motors and integrating them with LEGO gears and wheels.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is really outside the scope of your question, but on the electronics side I personally wouldn't use an Arduino. I'd probably go with something that has wireless built in, such as something [ESP8266][5]-based. Then, all you need is your microcontroller and motor driver for a working system. The system can be remote controlled from a PC or smart device. You wouldn't even need special software on the remote, as the microcontroller can broadcast an SSID and serve up a web-based controller to the connected device.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So then your BOM would be:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- 2x PF M Motors ($15)&#xD;&#xA;- NodeMCU or other wireless controller ($3)&#xD;&#xA;- A few Technic beams, gears, axles, wheels, etc ($5+)&#xD;&#xA;- Battery box ($2)&#xD;&#xA;- TB6612FNG or similar dual motor controller ($1)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You could probably do the whole thing for ~$30.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://brickset.com/sets/76112-1/App-Controlled-Batmobile&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/8kl4K.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://shop.lego.com/en-US/product/LEGO-Power-Functions-M-Motor-8883&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/knwez.png&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESP8266" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

This means that only bevel gears of the same size can actually mesh perfectly, although in most gear combinations, the loose tolerance means the incorrect pitch isn't really noticeable.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, in extreme cases like the 12-tooth-bevel to 60-tooth-turntable in the Arocs, the gear pitches are so mismatched it creates an extremely &quot;noisy&quot; or &quot;sticky&quot; effect.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/114560-help-meshing-gears-with-the-new-z60-turntable/&amp;do=findComment&amp;comment=2632343&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7a/Beve_gear_schematic.png/320px-Beve_gear_schematic.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

They are made of the same components. A couple of additional procedures turn regular minifigs into keychain minifigs. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1.) There is a long screw inserted through the head and neck-post of the minifig to be able to attach the keychain to the loop at the end of the screw. If you remove the screw, there will be a small hole left inside the stud on the head, and on the neck-post. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2.) The leg assembly is fused to the torso assembly to make sure they don't separate during use as a keychain.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In addition, keychain minifigs are made in China, so there is a slight difference in how they look. The plastic has a duller and sometimes a bit more opaque appearance compared to regular minifigs. The printing, however, is the same quality, which is what most people focus on. The difference in the shine/opaqueness is usually only noticed when the keychain minifigs is placed next to an identical regular minifig. " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

You might want to look at [Nanoblocks](http://www.ohioart.com/brands/nanoblock) which, while still a children's toy, has smaller bricks and a different color pallette. I don't know much about the quality of Nanoblocks - the plastic does seem cheaper than LEGO's.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 2. Another option is to look at [Modulex](http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/Modulex), but you cannot find new sets as this line of LEGO bricks was only produced briefly from 1963 to 1965**. It was designed for adults (more specifically: for architects) as a system to build models of existing and planned buildings. Bricks are smaller, and have a different geometry (1:1 vs 5:6 for LEGO). Buying Modulex is expensive due to the limited production run and the fact that the last Modulex was produced 50 years ago. Bricklink does have [Modulex items available](http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?q=Modulex) for sale though, so you might find this something worth investigating further. There is a (not really updated) website for Modulex fans at [MiniBricksMadness](http://minibricksmadness.com).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Sample Modulex House][2]][2]  &#xA;&lt;sub&gt;(source: [minibricksmadness.com](https://minibricksmadness.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/YVD_flickr_house.jpg))&lt;/sub&gt;  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------------------------&#xD;&#xA;**) Modulex continued to be produced until the early 1980s in limited quantities by Modulex A/S, as per this [article(PDF)](https://minibricksmadness.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Saving-Modulex2.pdf)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/M5BXw.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/WZln1.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Text="Yes, you can use another transformer, even if it's not recommended by LEGO and you do so at your own risk (which should be minimal if you pay attention to what you do).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The plug polarity is `+` in the center and `-` on the outside; it should be mentioned on the battery and the real transformer (I wish I could find the one I have to check), and the size is a standard (but small) one. (Note that there is a protection in place should you reverse the polarity, but it won't work). Usually if you get a transformer with multiple plug adapters, it will be one of them. Note that is **must** be DC, this may seems obvious but since older LEGO transformers used AC it's better to make sure that point is understood. (and of course that's also why polarity is important).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The trick is to find one which outputs 10v DC, as 9v will not be enough to trigger the charge circuitry (the threshold is 9.5v). Apparently, you can [charge it at 12v](http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=45963) without too much trouble, but it will be slightly slower.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit: just go read [RailBricks magazine issue 7](http://www.magcloud.com/browse/issue/121130) which has an extremely detailed article on the topic on pages 46 to 55 (yes, a full 10 pages)."

The RIS 2.0 came with a USB IR Tower, but the driver does not work on 64-bit Windows. There is also a Serial-port IR Tower available, which works perfectly if you have a 9-pin serial-to-USB adapter.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's what you need to buy (they're all very cheap):  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [A serial cable][1] (not necessarily a Lego one, any 9-pin serial cable will do)  &#xD;&#xA; - [A Lego serial IR tower][2] (can probably find on Ebay as well)  &#xD;&#xA; - [A USB-to-Serial converter][3] (not necessarily this brand, any basic 9-pin serial to USB should work)  &#xD;&#xA; - A 9V battery for the serial IR tower.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With the (included) driver installed, the USB-to-Serial will create a virtual COM port in Windows. If it's relevant to you, you can check the number of the COM port in windows Device Manager.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the software side of things, you can code for the RCX using [Java][4], [NQC][5] (C-like syntax, but much simpler), or the original Lego graphical programming language. You don't need to install any Lego software if you plan on going with one of the 3rd-party Java or NQC options.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you do want the Lego programming software but you don't have the disk, you can download an ISO disk image [from this guy's share][6]. The Lego software and its installer ran fine on my machine (64-bit Windows 10), with a small caveat: At the end of the installation process, it attempts to install the USB tower driver. When this happens, you need to go to task manager and KILL the installer process, because when the driver (inevitably) fails the whole installation rolls back. If you're having trouble it might also help to right click on the Setup.exe -&gt; Properties -&gt; Compatibility and run it in compatibility mode for Windows 98.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Inside the Lego software, you should select the Serial IR Tower when prompted because you want it to use the virtual COM port the adapter provides. You can also set the COM port in the Settings from the main menu screen.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When you first install the software it will try to force you to do tutorials before you can actually do the &quot;freestyle&quot; programming. But you can double-click any greyed-out option to enable it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And as always, if you need more help you can always post back here in Bricks SE.

I plan to house each mech in it's own *private* holding pen/dock/bay, with each bay having it's own trolley leading to the center of launchpad which houses a central turntable. This turntable being used to redirect the mechs to where they need to go.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Something important to note, the mechs are arranged, in their pens, around the turntable almost in a radial, floral pattern, with the turntable at the center, almost like a sunflower.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The issue that I am facing is that I cannot come up with a design for said turntable. No matter what I try, I just can't get the turntable to *integrate* nicely with the mech sleds.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here is a picture of the mech dock.

Using the existing railway system offers a few advantages, like a complete ecosystem for straight and curved rails, wheels, carriages, switching points, couplings, etc. and might even look suitably industrial and heavy-duty. On the other hand their usage seriously limits the possible geometries (wheelbase length, minimal height of the carrier trolley, etc.), defines the look of the model and might provide challenges with the connection of the turntable and the static rails. Another option would be to use carrier trolleys with rubber wheels on a tiled surface to get around some of the above restrictions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Implementation of the turntable itself** The basic component is a circle-shaped, pit-like structure with a radius big enough to fit a carrier upon the rotating bridge above it and with enough depth to house the end supports, the central pivot column and the mechanism used to motorize it if needed. The central pivot and the end supports must be strong enough to hold the combined weight of a carrier and a mech on any point along the tracks on the turntable, which would mean either really sturdy supports or a carrier long enough to distribute its weight among multiple supports and the ground around the structure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    SIDE CUTAWAY VIEW OF THE PROPOSED STRUCTURE&#xD;&#xA;                                            MAGNIFIED VIEW OF &#xD;&#xA;     mmmmmm      mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm       THE DRIVING MECHANISM&#xD;&#xA;     oo==oo      o==o   o==o   o==o    /   ----------  -------&#xD;&#xA;     ------ ----------------- ------  /         d|b3   MMMMM##&#xD;&#xA;     ######  T      A      T*~MM#### &lt;           *~~~~~MMMMM##&#xD;&#xA;     ######  !

This calls for wheels, but even here we have many options:&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - You can certainly use generic railroad tracks if the dimensions permit it (the radius of the pit is just a few studs larger than the outer curve radius of the LEGO rail pieces)&#xD;&#xA; - For smaller dimensions the narrow gauge rail tracks might be used&#xD;&#xA; - The newer roller coaster pieces could be an alternative if a suitable wheel setup can be constructed either from scratch, or built around the existing rollercoaster cars&#xD;&#xA; - At least one example I have seen uses monorail tracks, if you have those, feel free to use them this way&#xD;&#xA; - Tiles and road wheels are certainly the most flexible option regarding the possible diameters but they tend to have a lot of resistance compared to non-flexible wheels on rails&#xD;&#xA; - Some Technic sets, like the 42054 Claas Xerion tractor, the 42082 Offroad Crane or the 42055 Bucket Wheel Excavator for example feature such turntable solutions that can be used as inspiration&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Motorization** You haven't mentioned if you'd like to use a motor to drive the turntable, but if yes, then you have a few options here as well:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Train engine on rails as the &quot;feet&quot; of the end support(s)&#xD;&#xA; - Motor housed in the end support(s) propelling against the wall of the pit&#xD;&#xA; - Motor housed in the central column&#xD;&#xA; - Motor housed in the wall of the pit propelling the turntable by its edge&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first two options require either a battery and control system built into the moving parts of the turntable itself, or wires that can feed the built-in motors from a static battery - but this option must be used with limiters or the wires might get tangled or snap. The third needs extensive gearing down to be able to handle the load and all losses without overstraining the motor. The last option avoids these problems but requires the turntable to be a complete ring with an interface suitable for propulsion (either a smooth circle that can be driven via friction from multiple rubber wheels, or a circular gear rack - The specialised parts from the Bucket Wheel Excavator or the 4481 Hailfire Droid wheels would be my first idea).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you have any more questions, either in general or regarding a specific problem, feel free to ask - I'd love to see your project come to fruition :)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_turntable" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Let me explain as best I can...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, I did some digging online for pictures to use as references for building this turntable I described above. By sheer luck, I stumbled across this post on LEGO Ideas for a discontinued idea for a Train Turntable MOC. The link can be found [here][1].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On this page, I managed to download the Turntable module itself, and dissected the model left, right and center to get an idea of what I wanted to do and accomplish in this massive MOC of mine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Essentially, the Turntable is a large long plate spinning on a central point, controlled by a gearing system that is used to rotate the assembly without actually touching the turntable itself. The Turntable itself is then surrounding by a radial pattern outfitted with rails, leading to the various mech bays I have surrounding the central turntable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Below is a picture of the turntable outfitted with a bunch of my mechs in their respective bays.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Shatterdome WIP][2]][2] &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Truth be told, the design is so blatantly simple, I'm surprised I didn't see it right in front of me in the first place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/6d4728b2-5d4c-4824-80e9-6fbd7daad61b&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/3y9SI.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

(Which brings up contextual questions like &quot;are there discrete intersections?&quot;)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From a _programming_ perspective, 49 possible options is kindof a middle ground.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You could have a systematic representation. For example, each color could map to a digit, and so the pair represents a two digit base-7 number of 2π/49 radians (where 0 means go back the way you came). I don't actually suggest that particular scheme, but something _like_ that could work quite well. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You could just have a lookup table. Or a lookup table of lookup tables. In a C-like language that would look something like&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;table = [&#xD;&#xA;  'red':  ['red': -90, 'blue': -45],&#xD;&#xA;  'blue': ['red': +90, 'blue': +45]&#xD;&#xA;];&#xD;&#xA;turn_degree = table[first_color][second_color];&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;I would call that the &quot;normal&quot; approach, although you're getting toward the upper size of the table one might really want. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You could also treat one color as a modifier for the first:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;first_table = ['red': -90, 'blue': +90];&#xD;&#xA;second_table = ['red': -45, 'blue': +45];&#xD;&#xA;turn_degree = first_table[first_color] + second_table[second_color];&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;This is secretly the same as that first option I gave (base7), but more flexible, easier to read, and easier to explain to kids. And you could use multiplication instead of addition if you wanted. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A robotics consideration: Will the car _always_ correctly sense which color is the &quot;first&quot; color?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If not, then there's actually only 28 (21?) possible combinations. You can still use any of the above methods, but additionally you'll define an ordering of the colors (so for example, you'll just decide that green is &quot;less than&quot; blue). Then your &quot;first&quot; color will always be the lesser of the two colors, regardless of which sensor sensed what. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**But seriously, how should you do this in a classroom?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If either sensor sees red, the car will turn left.&#xD;&#xA;- If either sensor sees blue, the car will turn right.&#xD;&#xA;- If either sensor sees yellow, the car will turn 15°.&#xD;&#xA;- If either sensor sees green, the car will turn 45°.&#xD;&#xA;- If either sensor sees orange, the car will turn 60°.&#xD;&#xA;- If either sensor sees purple, the car will turn 90°.&#xD;&#xA;- If either sensor sees black, the car will turn 135°.&#xD;&#xA;- If the car doesn't see two colors, or if the colors don't clearly say what to do, then the car just keeps going forward.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;first = get_sensor_one();&#xD;&#xA;second = get_sensor_two();&#xD;&#xA;directions = ['red': -1, 'blue': 1];&#xD;&#xA;degrees = ['yellow': 15, 'green': 45, 'orange': 60, 'purple': 90, 'black': 135];&#xD;&#xA;if(contains(directions, first)){&#xD;&#xA;  direction_color = first;&#xD;&#xA;  degree_color = second;&#xD;&#xA;} else {&#xD;&#xA;  direction_color = second;&#xD;&#xA;  degree_color = first;&#xD;&#xA;}&#xD;&#xA;if(!contains(directions, direction_color) || !contains(degrees, degree_color)){&#xD;&#xA;  keep_going();&#xD;&#xA;} else {&#xD;&#xA;  turn(degrees[degree_color] * direction[direction_color]);&#xD;&#xA;}&#xD;&#xA;```" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I have had this problem a few times. Here's what I do:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. The first thing you're going to want is *leverage*. Connect one 1x6 plate to the underside of the Modified 1x1, one on top of the previous plate (but adjacent to the Modified 1x1), and one on top of both pieces.&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA; 2. Next, slide propeller piece [32125][2] over the tip of the antenna.&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA; 3. Hold the antenna upside-down (vertically), with the 1x6 assembly in your right hand. Move the propeller piece all the way up, but stop before it gets to the section the Modified 1x1 is on. Maneuver the antenna's stem into one of the four sides of the axle hole on the propeller piece, tilt it at an angle, and push up. There should be a slight pop and the 1x1 will move down the antenna.&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA; 4. Now that you have something to push on, simply remove the propeller, grab hold of the 1x6's with your right hand, and press into the base of the antenna with the propeller piece. It should pop out the rest of the way and then you're done!&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;**Why does this work?** Well, the propeller piece is *perfect* because it had a proper diameter to fit over the round tip, and the sides of the axle hole are a prefect dimension to hold the smaller thickness of the antenna stem, thus giving you a contact point for applying pressure. I suppose it's a bit over complicated, but it works for me. :)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/5TOUr.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=32125&amp;name=Technic,%20Plate%20Rotor%203%20Blade%20with%20Smooth%20Ends%20and%206%20Studs%20(Propeller)&amp;category=%5BTechnic,%20Plate%5D#T=S&amp;O=%7B%22iconly%22:0%7D&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/aPfEO.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/tmiSb.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/1Sw8S.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

But of course they're just comparing expected weights. &#xA;&#xA; - That's why **you can't simply weigh a big mix of unknown bricks to&#xA;   calculate their number.** There's no reference.&#xA;&#xA;However, you can use a scale to estimate a number of bricks, if you have **sorted them out individually**. &#xA;&#xA;If you keep your pieces in trays or drawers and you have a big bin of **identical pieces** (2x4's, 2x1's, ...), you can estimate them by weighing them. &#xA;&#xA; - **Weigh them all, then divide by the weight of a single one.**&#xA;&#xA;Gets close. Speeds things up. &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;----------&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;By Numbers&#xA;----------------------------&#xA;&#xA;Anyway, try to narrow things down. To do so, collect as much data as possible. &#xA;&#xA; - Which **sets** do you own?&#xA;Look up the **number of pieces per set**. &#xA; - Take into account if you bought an **incomplete** set. How much is missing?&#xA; - Did you mailorder **pieces**? &#xA; - Can you estimate the amount? Maybe check your orders/ accounts.&#xA; - Did you buy a considerable number of **bulk**?&#xA;&#xA;All this should already give you a rough number, considering the sets/mailorder/bulk ratio. &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;----------&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;By Eye&#xA;------------------&#xA;&#xA; - Do you **sort out** your Lego into trays and drawers? You could **count some** of them, calculate an average amount and **project it**.&#xA; - What about the **relevance** of certain parts? Do they count? Where there's lego technic, there's plenty of technic pins. You could simply leave out those piles of pins and separators or&#xA;   weigh them. If they're sorted out, of course.&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;----------&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;*(Disclaimer: Do not take this last part too seriously...)*&#xA;&#xA;Or is it all in ONE BIG BIN?&#xA;----------------------------&#xA;&#xA;Well, let's see. &#xA;&#xA; - **How can one estimate the number of people in a crowd?**&#xA;&#xA;Take an aerial view, divide it into sections, count people in one frame and multiply by frames. As long as people are spread out evenly, you should get close enough. &#xA;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]&#xA;&#xA;*Example: There are (maybe) 63 minifigs in this picture. Count all minifigs in one of the frames and multiply them by four for a rough answer.* &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;----------&#xA;&#xA;&#xA; - **How can one estimate the number of jellybeans in a jar?**&#xA;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]&#xA;&#xA;Find out about jar and jellybeans, diameter, height, volume. Calculate. As long as you're not getting peckish, you should win big.&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;----------&#xA;&#xA;Now, how can one estimate the number of bricks of completely different shapes and sizes in ONE BIG BIN?&#xA;----------------------------------------------------------------------&#xA;&#xA; - *In theory*, you would **stirr everything** to get one humongeous mass.&#xA; - That is, you want bricks, pins, wheels, minifigs, separators all next&#xA;   to each other, not in different layers with small parts at the bottom&#xA;   of the bin. Next, **pour it out** and **spread it** evenly. **Take a photo**. Use the method&#xA;   mentioned above.&#xA; - **Or, leave it in the bin**. Take out **one cup full** of Lego,&#xA;  **count the parts**, determine how many cups your bin holds and&#xA;   extrapolate.&#xA;&#xA;**Conclusion**: You're better off counting. While sorting out. &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/QPMv2.jpg&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/tD8rJ.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I'm in the middle of motorizing the fancy branded Lego Porsche and I was gonna use a couple of L Motors to drive the wheels and a servo to handle the steering, but after some research i found that because of all the gears going through the gear selection and drive-train, a powerful amount of torque is required and as Damon very correctly stated, the XL Motors are much more efficient in terms of performance. You might not be getting the same speed but you'll end up regretting buying the L motors due to their lack in torque. To solve this issue with my Porsche i just used a BuWizz controller instead of the old IR setup for more speed, flexibility and less weight as i don't need a receiver.

I'm in the middle of motorizing the fancy branded Lego Porsche and I was gonna use a couple of L Motors to drive the wheels and a servo to handle the steering, but after some research I found that because of all the gears going through the gear selection and drive-train, a powerful amount of torque is required and as Damon very correctly stated, the XL Motors are much more efficient in terms of performance. You might not be getting the same speed but you'll end up regretting buying the L motors due to their lack in torque. To solve this issue with my Porsche I just used a BuWizz controller instead of the old IR setup for more speed, flexibility and less weight as I don't need a receiver.

Well, let's open it up!&#xA;&#xA;The backplate is held into place by 14 pins. We'll carefully pry it open with a knife. Alternatively, we could use a drillbit to slowly scrape off the pinheads. &#xA;&#xA;**Both methods are destructive**. The backplate needs to be **glued back on** later. &#xA;&#xA;Once we can lift off the backplate, we already got the slider. &#xA;&#xA;Next we'll unplug the switch. Let's take a pair of pliers and carefully -just a bit!- squeeze the peg, then push it out. &#xA;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]&#xA;&#xA; - *Yellow*: **The slider** is of a soft plastic. Notice the **oval hole with a nose**. When you move the slider this bit gets squeezed and then snaps into position. There's **two stops**, they have a figure 8 shape.&#xA; - *Red*: At the end of the slider there's **a single tooth**. This tooth flicks&#xA;   the switch.&#xA; - *Green*: The switch has **a peg** and **a spring**. The spring has **two legs**. &#xA; - **The tooth    is supposed to sit right between them.**&#xA;&#xA;What's next?&#xA;------------&#xA;&#xA;So much for starters. Now, what about your points?&#xA;&#xA;In any case, use some compressed air first. Switch them repeatedly. Maybe it's just a grain of dust. Still not functioning properly? Can you still return them?&#xA;&#xA;Okay. Let's triple troubleshoot:&#xA;&#xA; - **Is the slider stuck?**&#xA; - **Can it move freely? Does it 'snap in'?**&#xA; - **Does the spring have enough tension?**&#xA;&#xA;If the slider's malfunctioning, you'd have to remove the backplate. However, if the spring's your suspect there's a less destructive way. &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;How to access the peg only&#xA;--------------------------&#xA;&#xA; - In theory, one could try to pry out the switch with a flat&#xA;   screwdriver. I didn't dare it. Parts could warp, the peg could break&#xA;   and I think LEGO did their best to prevent creative kids from doing&#xA;   it.&#xA; &#xA;But take a look at the backplate. You can barely see it, but **there's a circle**. It's right **on top of the peg**.&#xA;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]&#xA;&#xA;[![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xA;&#xA;I took a drillbit and started to slowly scratch off some of the plastic. Once the tip was through, I finished off the rest with a scalpel. &#xA;&#xA;Take your time! The plastic is quite thin and the peg's right under it. &#xA;&#xA;I could now easily access the peg with my pliers and push it out. I adjusted the spring and lined everything up. &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;How to access the spring&#xA;------------------------&#xA;&#xA;This might also work, but I dont recommend it. I gave it a try. It's way too fiddly. &#xA;&#xA;[![enter image description here][4]][4]&#xA;&#xA;Take a scalpel and cut a hole in the side of the switch. &#xA;Now you can take a peek inside. See if the tooth is off-center. If so, try to lift the corresponding leg of the spring with a needle.

The LEGO clock has an amplitude of about 2.3° degrees. Also important is making the drive chain and pendulum swing as independent as possible by reducing recoil, which the Galileo's escapement shown has as a major disadvantage. The Wikipedia article on the [anchor escapement](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor_escapement) gives a good explanation and in theory a well-constructed deadbeat escapement made in LEGO could be even more accurate.

Text="Recently, I got the S-12012 Light Stax kit with 50 (!) light bricks. They are different from those described [in this question][1], but they are much cheaper, colorful and with blinking/pulsating effects. However, there is one disadvantage: all bricks have to be attached to each other to lighten up. So if I wanted to light up different areas of my set I would need several of the 4x4 battery bricks (there is only one in each kit). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My question: Is it possible to to connect/solder wires between the bricks to extend the range? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The lights are LEDs, and it does not matter how the bricks are connected as long as one stud is connected to the underside of the next brick. There are contacts on all studs and undersides. I want to avoid damaging the bricks with my limited soldering skills.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I tried to use the [8886 PF Extension Wire][2], but that did not work.&#xD;&#xA;The contacts don't match. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Pictures 3 and 4, respectively, are close up photos of the studs and undersides of the bricks.

The short answer is, it's relatively easy to implement, but hard to make it work really well.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Let's make things simpler by deciding that the robot can only a) drive straight and b) turn 90 degrees. In other words, the robot reaches an x,y coordinate only by driving along the cardinal directions N, S, E, W. We can make this simplification to avoid having to use trigonometry.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now we need some variables to keep track of a) where the robot is, and b) what direction it's facing.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Make a variable &quot;orientation&quot; to remember which direction the robot is facing. 1=N, 2=E, 3=S, 4=W, for example.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Make variables &quot;X&quot; and &quot;Y&quot; to remember the position. These can represent whatever units of length you want. Let's just say X and Y represent motor rotations, for simplicity.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When the robot moves straight, you should update the coordinates X or Y depending on which direction it is facing. For example, if the robot drives 3 rotations fwd:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - If orientation==1 (North), increase Y by 3 (rotations).&#xD;&#xA; - If orientation==2 (East), increase X by 3&#xD;&#xA; - If orientation==3 (South), decrease Y by 3&#xD;&#xA; - If orientation==4 (West), decrease Y by 3.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When the robot turns 90 degrees, you should update the orientation variable accordingly. See my other post for [how to rotate your robot a specific number of degrees][2]. Assuming a clockwise rotation,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - If orientation==1 (North), set orientation==2 (East).&#xD;&#xA; - If orientation==2 (East),  set orientation==3 (South).&#xD;&#xA; - If orientation==3 (South), set orientation==4 (West).&#xD;&#xA; - If orientation==4 (West),  set orientation==1 (North).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Assuming you *always* update your coordinates and orientation whenever you move, your robot should be able to (roughly) keep track of its position using this method. You can make it easier for yourself by putting the DriveStraight and Turn90 code into functions (MyBlocks, if you're using the standard Lego software). For example, the DriveStraight function/MyBlock should take the desired number of rotations, drive the robot that far, and update the global X/Y variables. Similar for Turn90. Then your entire program consists of DriveStraight and Turn90 blocks to move around, and at any time you can read the X,Y coordinate and orientation from your global variables.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One problem with this method is that for every movement your robot makes, error accumulates, until eventually its internal position is no longer accurate. The easiest way to account for this is to occasionally return to a known physical location - for example, a wall corner at 0,0 - and reset X,Y to 0,0 when it gets there. A lot of FLL robots use this technique - these robots have square edges and back themselves into corners to force themselves into a known absolute position/orientation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odometry&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/10466/how-to-make-an-exact-16-degree-turn/10482#10482" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Prior to a set release, each set goes through a number of reviews.  One of these, is our designers show Disney the boxes for them to sign off on and approve, after they review the boxes.  For each set, they said the boxes were approved for release!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;It does appear that for the Marvel, they were ok with the Disney Logo not included on the exterior but they did want the Disney Logo on the Star Wars sets!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I also talked with a customer service representative.

What we do know is that the designers create the artwork for the boxes that the sets come in [sic; in] and after that the parent company (Disney) signs off on the designs!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;That's it exactly! We provide the images to the parent company and they do have a say in what appears on the box, once we get the okay from them we print them off. With the Marvel and Star Wars TM they were both approved, but have the different printing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;He suggested reaching out to Disney. Unfortunately, I am still in the process of doing so.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What the above replies mean is that (1) designer decided to design a box a certain way (possibly for aesthetic reasons), (2) Disney approved the design, (3) this is the design you see on your boxes. As such, there is no &quot;real reason&quot; the boxes were designed this way.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*I will be updating the answer with a reply from Disney.*" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

For each set, they said the boxes were approved for release!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;It does appear that for the Marvel, they were ok with the Disney Logo not included on the exterior but they did want the Disney Logo on the Star Wars sets!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I also talked with a customer service representative. He took ~5 minutes to &quot;do research.&quot; Here's a portion of (only) what he said (comment and ping me in chat if you want the full transcript):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;I'm sorry, but we don't have a clear answer on why the boxes differ. What we do know is that the designers create the artwork for the boxes that the sets come in [sic; in] and after that the parent company (Disney) signs off on the designs!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;That's it exactly! We provide the images to the parent company and they do have a say in what appears on the box, once we get the okay from them we print them off. With the Marvel and Star Wars TM they were both approved, but have the different printing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;He suggested reaching out to Disney. Unfortunately, I am still in the process of doing so.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What the above replies mean is that (1) designer decided to design a box a certain way (possibly for aesthetic reasons), (2) Disney approved the design, (3) this is the design you see on your boxes. As such, there is no &quot;real reason&quot; the boxes were designed this way.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;s&gt;*I will be updating the answer with a reply from Disney.*&lt;/s&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The (second) reply from Disney; the first was a generic &quot;thanks for the feedback&quot;:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;That is actually a good question for LEGO- there is a contact page in the links you sent us. &#xD;&#xA;This is not something we could answer..."

Imperial 3/16&quot; rod at about 4.76mm also works, but is a bit sloppier.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Although the hole is a little undersized for tapping M6 (5.0 required), the soft plastic easily allows a taper tap to be run through. The 1mm pitch of the thread, together with the hard metric 8mm width of the brick means that the start and finish phase of the threads is identical. If an already tapped brick is pegged as a guide to a new brick, then (a) the guide will help ensure that thread goes in straight and (b) has the same phase in both bricks. I mark a guide brick, so there's no cummulative error in creating new tapped bricks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A piece of 6mm studding can then be used as a lead screw. It can be fitted concentrically to Technic shafts by locknutting it to a tapped brick, then pegging the brick to a 40t gear.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That's all been taken apart now. But only last week I had a measurement problem, and needed to be able to adjust the height of a stage quickly between many, repeatable, fairly precise heights.

If you aren't up on your boat physics, just keep the center of mass of the boat as low as possible in the water. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I suggest you give it a 'dry run' (ha-ha, get it?) in your bathtub and make sure that you aren't accidentally going to recreate the closing scene of Titanic before you set up your photo shoot.

Text="To answer the first part of the question, the [Company Profile presentation (deep, direct link)][1] states:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; When the minifigure first appeared, it was decided that its face should have only one colour: yellow. And that its facial features should be happy and neutral . The figure would have no sex, race or role – these would be determined by the child’s imagination and play.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It then explains when and why they added colour for their licensed figures&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; With licensed products such as LEGO® Star Wars™ and LEGO® Harry Potter™ the figure began appearing in specific roles, and with LEGO Basketball in 2003 it took on authentic skin colours. In 2004 the LEGO minifigure assumed an even wider range of skin colours when it was decided that the figures in licensed products should resemble the original characters as closely as possible. One result was that the figures in LEGO Harry Potter™ changed from yellow to a more authentic skin colour.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first ones I remember seeing were indeed some of the NBA League characters as part of the Basketball theme in 2003, followed by the Star Wars products and then the Harry Potter sets in 2004.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lando Calrissian was one of the first to appear in the correct skin tone, amongst yellow Han and Leia:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Bespin Cloud City Box Art][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Followed later by pink characters for the rest. The [first Star Wars set in 2004](https://brickset.com/sets/theme-Star-Wars/year-2004) with flesh-toned figures was the [Millennium Falcon](https://brickset.com/sets/4504-1/Millennium-Falcon). By [2005](https://brickset.com/sets/theme-Star-Wars/year-2005) the transition for Star Wars was complete and all sets used flesh-toned figures.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of other colours, LEGO had already created various monster and alien figures with different coloured heads ranging from blues and greys through to transparent and even [transparent neon orange][3].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]:https://www.lego.com/r/www/r/aboutus/-/media/aboutus/media-assets-library/company-profiles/old/a_short_presentation_2014.pdf?la=en-GB&amp;l.r=1473052621&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/YuF51.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=3626bpx76#T=C&amp;C=18" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

If only some functions fail to work, then we can narrow the search to those.&#xD;&#xA; - Is this clicking sound present with all functions? If only some functions click, then they must be the culprits.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The surefire way would be to follow the &quot;chain&quot; of mechanical parts from the motor along the gears and axles. As far as I can remember the gearbox is not that complicated or hidden that it would be easier to dismantle and rebuild than to peek inside (maybe after removing some of the decorative panels). So turn on the motor and see if the gears and axles leading to the selected function are moving. Of course if the selected function is working correctly, you can assume that specific chain is complete and correct, so no need to analyze.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Or just operate all functions for a while each and any gear that did not move during this time must be disconnected from the motor.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another way would be to locate the source of the clicking sound and seeing if that area is built up according to the instructions, as it would be the prime suspect. My model has once experienced a problem with the three parallel grey universal joints connecting the top and bottom halves (which are assembled quite late in the process) where the insert of one of the joints came loose and was turning in its sleeve without transferring any motion but producing a clicking sound. So maybe check that too." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

But it should not be too hard or expensive to modify that design to include something that can measure the exact forces involved. Or it maybe possible to measure the amount of current required by the servo during attaching or detaching and to infer the involved forces from that and thus solve the problem witout requiring any major hardware alterations.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But if your goal is to compare a number of various bricks, I'd recommend a different route. Attach a number of nominally same bricks (i.e. a bunch of 2x4 bricks for example) together in a stack, then pull the two end bricks apart. This way you are applying some force to the top and bottom bricks which gets transmitted across all intermittent bricks. By increasing the applied force the two bricks with the weakest bind will separate first, be they anywhere in the stack. This is akin to finding the weakest link in a chain by pulling the end links apart to see which link break first.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course this will only tell us which connection (consisting of a brick's stud-side and another brick's antistud-side) has the weakest clutch power, but by repeating the same test with varied composition (all bricks from manufacturer A, the same bricks in another order, bricks from A mixed with bricks from B, bricks from A on the top and from B on the bottom, etc.) with some planning and measuring it should be possible to establish intra-manufacturer and inter-manufacturer variations in binding force.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/users/36/pcantin&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/1953/3631&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://phillipecantin.blogspot.ca/2013/02/legos-magic-number-is-37112.html" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

For example you could place thin pieces of paper, saran wrap or tinfoil between the LEGO pieces that need to be held together. The additional material will prevent the pieces from returning to their original shapes, this tension will make accidental separation harder. And if you get the size of the insert small enough and the placement precise enough, nothing will stick out from between the bricks and so the insert will not degrade the display value.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/8106/3631" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Most of them are Chinese brands, but there's also several brands from other countries.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's but some of this long list of brands :&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Ausini (China)&#xD;&#xA; - [Cobi][1] (Poland)&#xD;&#xA; - [Enlighten][2] (China)&#xD;&#xA; - [Lepin][3] (China)&#xD;&#xA; - [Mega Blocks][4] (Canada)&#xD;&#xA; - Oxford Blocks / Kre-O (South-Korea)&#xD;&#xA; - [Sembo / Shen Yuan][5] (China)&#xD;&#xA; - [Sluban][6] (China)&#xD;&#xA; - Wange (China)&#xD;&#xA; - [Xingbao][7] (China)&#xD;&#xA; - [Kazi / Gao Bao Le][8] (China)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lepin is a brand specialized in cloning complete Lego sets, from individual pieces &amp; minifigs to instructions and box art. That means this brand is véry controversial and buying it may be illegal in your country. The quality of the bricks is very good, though, although Lepin sets are more likely to have missing bricks or poorly moulded bricks than Lego sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All other brands listed sell their own sets with their own unique designs. The quality &amp; price varies significantly from brand to brand. Many of these brands produce real-life military designs (tanks, airplanes) that Lego has a policy of never releasing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In my experience, Oxford provides the highest quality, and in fact may even provide better quality than Lego in some aspects. However, it's also at a similar price range as Lego and not a good option if cost is a primary criterion for looking at other brands. Kre-O bricks come from Oxford but are marketed by Hasbro and are easier and cheaper to find on Amazon.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;XingBao also provides high quality sets, including some modular buildings with piece counts &gt; 4,000. And while not without flaws, the designs of these modular buildings is on par with those sold by Lego, at a fraction of the cost. Xingbao even has a version of the Lego Ideas system where people vote for uploaded sets they want to see put into mass production. XingBao has the same mother company as Lepin, however, sort of a &quot;legal&quot; branch of the same company. So you may want to avoid it if you have a problem with Lepin's business practices. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For a brand that is almost as high quality as XingBao but which isn't shrouded in the same controversy, you might want to check out Enlighten. Especially their recent sets are pretty high quality. They don't sell any sets as complex as full-size modular buildings, though.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Where can you buy these brands, you might want to know? For non-Chinese brands like Oxford or Cobi, you might want to check out Ebay or Amazon. For Chinese brands, the most popular venue is [AliExpress][9].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://cobi.pl/en/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.enlighten-brick.com/eng.html&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://lepinblock.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://www.megabloks.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://www.facebook.com/SemboBlocks/&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://www.slubanshop.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: http://xingbaoblocks.com/xingbao/website/product/prod.htm&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: http://www.kaiyutoys.com/eng/&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://www.aliexpress.com/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Only the #21315 LEGO Ideas Pop-Up Book set can be bought.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;How LEGO Ideas works is that LEGO fans can submit their own ideas they would like LEGO make into a set. If enough people like an idea and vote for it, LEGO will consider making it into an official set. Once the idea is selected, LEGO's own designers will refine the project to their own standards and make it into an official set. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The #21315 LEGO Ideas Pop-Up Book set is the result of the original submission at LEGO Ideas. It is the only version of the project that is for sale. The set is designed like a traditional pop-up book that can open with scenes that pop up from the pages.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The original LEGO fan project included suggestions for various scenes that could be used for the book. For the final set, LEGO's own designers selected two interchangeable scenes; Little Red Riding Hood with grandma's house, and Jack and the Beanstalk with a &quot;growing&quot; beanstalk. You can see pictures of both scenes and how they unfold and pop up at the Online LEGO Shop page: https://shop.lego.com/en-US/product/Pop-Up-Book-21315&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I hope this answers OP's question.

I don't know...  I personally, wouldn't try to reinvent pin placement of Technic holes and Studs. I'm not saying being creative that way is too challenging. What I am saying is that, we should work with examples, or in this case parts that already bridge Classic stud width with Technic holes. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Placing pins where the studs belong seems akin to reinventing the wheel, when we *could* be building off the long work history already put into the wheel's design, and spring board off that instead.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With that said, I'd point you to a Technic 2 x 4 plate with three holes.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Replicate it, split it in half (lengthwise), and embed the top on to the top of the camera housing.  Take the split bottom half and embed that into the bottom of the camera housing. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Visually, to me, the stud width of your design looks like a Technic 2x6, but there seems to be enough room to jam a Technic 2x8 in there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For my brain to work, I like pictures.  So, for piece inspiration, I'd go to *[Bricklink's][4]* database and just type &quot;pin&quot;, &quot;pins&quot; or &quot;holes&quot; and look at the pictures of parts that have a key word in them.  Doing this expands the possibilities of what could be done to make your design solid.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][6]][6]               &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][7]][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][8]][8]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also for me, it's easier to reverse engineer things I see.  So, for ideas I would *BL* search these parts, look up the sets that they were in, and watch a *Youtube* * speed build of one of these Technic sets to see how the part was used, and maybe come across an ingenious way someone mated Classic studs with Technic *pinage*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(* When dealing with *Youtube*. Time is precious and limited, so remember we can reclaim some time by speeding up *YT* playback with the settings &quot;*gear*&quot;.)   &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Another design compatibility suggestion:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are no pictures showing the total height of your camera rig.

This means that if a set contains new elements, meaning any of&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - new prints,&#xD;&#xA; - new recolors of existing molds,&#xD;&#xA; - or new molds altogether,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;then a user, preferably with a physical and complete copy of the set, must create requests to add these new elements to the BrickLink catalog as part of the process of inventorying the set. The process of adding an item involves determining the part ID by looking at the part itself, providing a photograph, and naming the part (often a BrickLink-specific name that's more meaningful than the official LEGO name).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As long as this is not yet done, the element will not be present on the BrickLink catalog. But for almost every set, eventually, someone will. It's only a matter of time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The set I inventoried (70825), for example, contains four unique printed 1x4x3 bricks. This size of brick, whose part number according to the mold itself is 49311, first appeared only in this set at the beginning of 2019 and [didn't start appearing in other sets until later that year](https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=49311&amp;in=S). So I had to manually add four new parts to BrickLink with the number 49311 (and a suffix corresponding to each of the four prints) and wait for them to be approved by a catalog admin. The immediate next step is then adding the inventory of the entire set to the BrickLink catalog, although technically once a part itself is in the catalog [it'll already be searchable by its part number](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/search.page?q=49311*#T=A).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Similarly, somebody with a copy of 42099 needs to examine (both parts of) the CV joint, provide appropriate names and images, submit a request to add it to the BrickLink catalog, and then inventory the entire set (not even LEGO has a complete inventory of it yet online according to Brickset, and that's on top of the unfortunate oversight in the instructions!) before you'll be able to find it through that set's inventory. As mentioned, this will eventually happen, so just sit tight." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

There is little joy in buying a LEGO set that was already built by someone else. So you are right, that a disassembled set is usually viewed as more valuable. However, consider the following points.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When people purchase a LEGO set, either new or used, they expect the parts to be sorted in some way into bags. So, taking apart the sets you have and putting them into baggies is not considered an additional service you're providing and buyers are willing to pay extra for. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Shipping a fully assembled set puts a lot more liability on you than shipping loose parts. If you advertise the set as fully built, and someone buys it, if any of the set gets broken or pieces fall off (which will likely happen in shipping), the buyer has all the rights to be disappointed and demand a resolution from you (shipping the set back to you at your expense, getting a partial or full refund, etc.) Also consider that shipping a fully built set is going to be more expensive, as you will have to use a lot more protective wrapping and a larger box.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as how much you can sell the sets for, that will be dictated by the market. You can certainly start out by listing your sets at the higher end compared to other listings, but it will be up to the buyers to decide if its worth it to them. If they don't buy, you will have to consider lowering the price, keeping the set for yourself, or selling the parts in bulk or individually.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you are looking for angles to make your listing more attractive, here are some things buyers are looking for and willing to pay more for: Clean pieces, no damage or fading to the pieces, minifigs, instructions, and box (if provided). Stickers are clean and nicely applied without any fading or curling. The pieces are nicely organized in baggies based on color, piece type, or building steps. The set comes from a smoke and pet free home. The set belonged to an adult collector (or if from a child, the pieces are cleaned and sanitized). There are clear and detailed pictures included with the listing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hope this helps some. Any other questions, just post it as a follow up, and the community can give you more info."

The only way to get that confirmation is by seeing pictures of the built set, ideally from all angles.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, when I sell used sets on EBay, I will make sure the set is fully built, take pictures from all angles, take pictures of areas where pieces are missing or stickers are less than perfectly applied, and then list. Then, depending on the size of the set, I take the set apart (potentially sort it, but that is not a must) and make a clear note in my listing that the set is complete (with either “missing the extra pieces” or “missing minifigs” or something like that if necessary) and will be shipped disassembled in a ziploc bag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By including pictures of the built set, I give the buyer a visual confirmation of what they can receive, and at the same time insure myself against “but the minifigs are missing” claims that can be easily disproven by just looking at the picture.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As a buyer, even if the set is built when I receive it, I will still disassemble the set, wash the pieces, and do a full inventory to make sure all pieces are included (using the inventory at the end of the manual, or using the BrickLink inventory in BrickStock). So there is no difference for me between a set that is shipped assembled or disassembled, apart perhaps for the extra effort in taking a built set apart." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Products like the [Ferris Wheel](https://brickset.com/sets/10247-1/Ferris-Wheel) and [Carousel](https://brickset.com/sets/10257-1/Carousel) are a bit better with a motor, but you can just most of the fun my manually cranking them.  [Alex Nunes](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoc-LK5qpDi4fZjiufx8Apw), and probably a few others folks, have created setups where multiple amusement park rides are sharing a single motor.  If LEGO included motors with everything that could use them not only would fewer people be able to buy the set, but folks like Alex would be &quot;stuck&quot; with extra motors.  I'm sure he'd find something to do with it, but maybe he's happier for not needing to figure that out.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another advantage of motors sold separately is that you can share the motor between multiple sets.  Maybe you're only playing with one amusement park ride at a time.  Extra motors wouldn't help you any and if you're already space-constrained it would make things less fun.  Extra motors also means extra battery boxes and the fewer batteries I need to worry about recharging or replacing the happier I am.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the other side of things big Technic sets like the [Bucket Wheel Excavator](https://brickset.com/sets/42055-1/Bucket-Wheel-Excavator) and the [Crawler Crane](https://brickset.com/sets/42042-1/Crawler-Crane) would be hard to do much with without the motor.  Mercifully LEGO has you covered for these sets and the motor is note extra.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So to summarize:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. If you don't need the electronics you don't have to buy it.&#xD;&#xA;2. You get more flexible options to fit into your finances and space.&#xD;&#xA;3. If you need the motor it is probably included so you don't have to fret about forgetting it." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

The Lego company's targeted demographic has been stated as 8-12 year old boys from various sources.  I tend to believe this claim based on the amount of sets released with those ages listed on them.  This would also suggest that the majority of their marketing research is dedicated to this specific group, and has shown that electric components aren't a big selling point.

I have come to the conclusion that these people are buying the sets just for the motors, etc. and selling the rest to recover some of the cost.  This works out well for sets like trains where adding additional cars is a common desire.

Also, not knowing anything else about the robot you've built (it's size, other sensors &amp; their location, the ball grabbing mechanism, etc.) it further complicates any possible advice.   &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That being said, the only solution I could think of would be to use the opening/doorway to the room as a reference point for the robot.  The sensor should be able to locate it since it's &quot;open&quot;, and the robot sent towards it.  The line on the ramp leads me to believe your robot has a color sensor for line following, therefore should be able to detect the line at the doorway once it arrives.  This will also allow the robot to &quot;true&quot; its location, which would allow rotating &quot;x&quot; degrees to have you pointing directly at the drop-off point.  Then straight forward and (?) because I have no idea how your robot even picks the balls up or drops them. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My other solution would be to have a mechanical release lever for the ball.  The lever would be positioned so only the low wall of the triangle could push it.  This would be a much more simple solution in theory.     " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I put the standard Lego scale 4x12 underneath and then built up the area on each side of the tie with Green Lego 2x4 bricks.  &lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;This did not work.

You mention the weight, which is standard for selling in bulk, but then ask, &quot;How do I price them?&quot; as if selling sets individually. If the sets are complete they are going to be worth more, especially if the minifigures are with them. Inclusion of instruction manuals and boxes also can add significant value. How much depends on the condition of the pieces, minifigures, instructions, the box and if the set is popular/desired.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can look them up on Ebay to give you an idea of the current going rate, or use Bricklink.

One of the things shown as buildable from the set was some kind of factory or industry mill plant.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I tried searching BrickLink for such a yellow motor, but without success.

There are other clock patterns besides this pattern, and the &quot;Just-Before-Midnight&quot; Disney pattern. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, I was trying to get your connection, until I thought about what you wrote, and what I thought in my mind.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You wrote the Disney clocks all have a different time (11:53).  I thought in my head &quot;Just-Before-Midnight&quot;, because in many fairly tales, Midnight, is the magically important event.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, it got me thinking: If I were a Danish *LEGO* designer, and I was making toys for school aged children, then what would be a magically important event to a grade schooler? If an adult's time could ever be important to a child, what time would that be? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hmm, maybe the few minutes before 3:00pm, the time school lets out and for them, the real magic begins?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, I'm guessing, 2:57:38pm might be the same &quot;Just-Before-The-Magical-Event&quot; subconsciously embedded in every grade school boy or girl's head, and some random *LEGO* designer had the insight to try and capture it.

The PF train motor has much more torque than it's 9V. predecessor.  The old motor typically took around 3 &quot;clicks&quot; on the remote to get the engine moving, while the new motor starts moving the engine on the first &quot;click&quot;.  The added torque it much better suited for small loop tracks where the train is constantly pulling into or out of a turn.  The train cars typical in Lego sets with only 2 sets of wheels, instead of bogies with 2 pairs of wheels, really drag through corners since they don't conform to the curve.  This is also why these cars are always so short, if they were too long they would actually derail.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The wire difference is significant because on the early model the wire &quot;plugged&quot; into/onto the motor base.  The new PF motor has a wire permanently attached protruding from the motor base.  These motors and their power supplies are backwards compatible, but require one of the two &quot;Power Functions Extension Wires&quot; to work.  These wires have both a &quot;standard&quot; 9V. connector and a PF style one.  Hooking &quot;Old&quot; to &quot;New&quot; is as simple as replacing the wire with one of these.  Hooking &quot;New&quot; to &quot;Old&quot; requires adding this wire to the permanently attached PF wire, which can be problematic when trying to &quot;stuff&quot; all that wire into your narrow train base.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]        &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In my experience the upgrade is totally worth it, most notably our Christmas train which spends most of it's life going around in a small circle.  It doesn't sound like it's constantly straining anymore and the batteries last longer. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is also worth noting that neither of the motors came with/come with the &quot;decorative&quot; side piece when purchased separately.  If you're replacing one motor for another then it's not an issue since the piece is the same for both &quot;RC&quot; motor types.

Products like the [Ferris Wheel](https://brickset.com/sets/10247-1/Ferris-Wheel) and [Carousel](https://brickset.com/sets/10257-1/Carousel) are a bit better with a motor, but you can get most of the fun by manually cranking them.  [Alex Nunes](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoc-LK5qpDi4fZjiufx8Apw), and probably a few others folks, have created setups where multiple amusement park rides are sharing a single motor.  If LEGO included motors with everything that could use them not only would fewer people be able to buy the set, but folks like Alex would be &quot;stuck&quot; with extra motors.  I'm sure he'd find something to do with it, but maybe he's happier for not needing to figure that out.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another advantage of motors sold separately is that you can share the motor between multiple sets.  Maybe you're only playing with one amusement park ride at a time.  Extra motors wouldn't help you any and if you're already space-constrained it would make things less fun.  Extra motors also means extra battery boxes and the fewer batteries I need to worry about recharging or replacing the happier I am.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the other side of things big Technic sets like the [Bucket Wheel Excavator](https://brickset.com/sets/42055-1/Bucket-Wheel-Excavator) and the [Crawler Crane](https://brickset.com/sets/42042-1/Crawler-Crane) would be hard to do much with without the motor.  Mercifully LEGO has you covered for these sets and the motor is included.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So to summarize:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. If you don't need the electronics you don't have to buy it.&#xD;&#xA;2. You get more flexible options to fit into your finances and space.&#xD;&#xA;3. If you need the motor it is probably included so you don't have to fret about forgetting it." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

That is, you seem to have them reversed.  Unfortunately I did not have a rechargeable version of the &quot;AAA&quot; battery box to test and prove the concept, but I was fairly certain it would work based on what I know about these battery boxes.  Having a 7-speed variation, in each direction, makes them function very similar to the &quot;Speed Remote&quot; (part# 8879). I can confirm that the Servo Motor (part# 88004) will turn incrementally using this remote.  It therefore seemed reasonable to assume that the Servo Motor, connected directly to a Rechargeable Battery Box (part# 8878), would function in the same manner.  Confident this would work, I sought out and found a couple videos on Youtube that proved this to be true.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The video by Lasse Deleuran: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzQ-B7xfJjQ  &#xD;&#xA;The video by Sariel's LEGO® Workshop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_Gvuzsngg8  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So the answer to your question is &quot;kind of&quot;, depending on how precise you need, or want, it to be.  The servo moves in 7 increments in each direction, which is a great improvement over a standard battery box or controller.  For your build you would simply &quot;input&quot; the steering wheel shaft into the orange control switch of the Battery Box.  It's position and steering wheel-to-input ratio could be manipulated with gearing if desired.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]  &#xD;&#xA;(screen cap from Sariel's video)  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;An updated verison of your diagram would look something like this:  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2] &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/SBx6W.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/NlqhT.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I threw together a rough rack &amp; pinion setup with beveled gears to get a better understanding of the play you are referring to.  You didn't mention which type of beveled gears you were using so I tried it with two of the most common types.  My only 2 &quot;PF Servo Motors&quot; are deeply embedded in other vehicles at the moment so I used an &quot;M&quot; motor in it's place.  Because of this I could not compare the two for &quot;play&quot; in the output shafts.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In both applications the majority of the play I observed was coming from the motor itself, not the gear mesh.  I also don't have a clue as to how you built it verses the way I did.  Because the gears and size of the assembly seemed to be your priority, I placed the motor in a more compact position.  The orientation of the motor and which way is &quot;up&quot; can easily be modified per application.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first test uses the &quot;32270 Technic, Gear 12 Tooth Double Bevel&quot;.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]  &#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The second test uses the &quot;32198 Technic, Gear 20 Tooth Bevel&quot; to drive, and a &quot;87407 Technic, Gear 20 Tooth Bevel with Pin Hole&quot; for an idler gear.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][3]][3]  &#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][4]][4]  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;          &#xD;&#xA;Both set-ups had very similar play, all of which appeared to originate from the motor.  I did try the smaller &quot;6589 Technic, Gear 12 Tooth Bevel&quot; but it seemed to exaggerate the play. This is possibly from the lack of an idler gear and/or from the greater angle of the teeth, needed for the smaller gears to mesh.

Text="There is a bit of confusion in your question with the part numbers and their location on the diagram. That is, you seem to have them reversed.  Unfortunately I did not have a rechargeable version of the &quot;AAA&quot; battery box to test and prove the concept, but I was fairly certain it would work based on what I know about these battery boxes.  Having a 7-speed variation, in each direction, makes them function very similar to the &quot;Speed Remote&quot; (part# 8879). I can confirm that the Servo Motor (part# 88004) will turn incrementally using this remote.  It therefore seemed reasonable to assume that the Servo Motor, connected directly to a Rechargeable Battery Box (part# 8878), would function in the same manner.  Confident this would work, I sought out and found a couple videos on Youtube that proved this to be true.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The video by Lasse Deleuran: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzQ-B7xfJjQ  &#xD;&#xA;The video by Sariel's LEGO® Workshop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_Gvuzsngg8  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So the answer to your question is &quot;kind of&quot;, depending on how precise you need, or want, it to be.  The servo moves in 7 increments in each direction, which is a great improvement over a standard battery box or controller.  For your build you would simply &quot;input&quot; the steering wheel shaft into the orange control switch of the Battery Box.  It's position and steering wheel-to-input ratio could be manipulated with gearing if desired.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]  &#xD;&#xA;(screen cap from Sariel's video)  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;An updated verison of your diagram would look something like this:  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The servo motor has axle holes on both sides of the output.  In theory a steering shaft could be ran into the rear of the output to provide the redundancy you're looking for.  Some amount of &quot;play&quot; in the physical connection would likely be needed to allow the wheel to turn just enough to activate the switch.  Because of the nature of the 7 position servo motor, choppy steering is unavoidable.  Full-electric drive-by-wire steering, while not used in passenger vehicles, is very much a &quot;real system&quot;.  Not knowing the purpose or application of what you're trying to achieve, it's all just speculation. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/SBx6W.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/NlqhT.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Everything is fine except for one thing, the transmission driving ring is disengaging under the high torque due to the changeover catch going too far. I have added parts blocking the catch from going too far, but when I stop sending current to the motor it spring back somewhat, disengaging the driving ring. Are there any ways of preventing this effect, or do I have to use a different motor altogether? Any help would be very much appreciated." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

The simplest answer is that you already had it.  I experimented with variations of your 12T/24T build and experienced varying degrees of the stiffness you mentioned.  It became evident that the location of the gears was affecting how much the side pieces were pinching the gears even though the actual gear mesh remained well within tolerances.  Stabilizing the brackets, thus the distance between them, eliminated any and all stiffness.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I also threw together a few more 1:2 ratio gear configurations for reference:  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Inspired by the design from Yoshihito Isogawa posted by Uli, I couldn't resist tweaking it in an attempt to make it stronger and easier to build off of.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][3]][3]  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Inspired by the answer that Eilon gave regarding Technic chain, I evidently proved myself wrong and came up with this.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][4]][4]  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/0rl0T.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/wOA9Y.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/cJv0c.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/DLBMV.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

But I'm finding it very challenging to get a half-decent fit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Round axle holes are OK, a 3/16&quot; imperial drill bit seems to be perfect. So I print 'em a little small and drill them out with a handheld pin vise to get a really nice smooth bore.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm having a much harder time with studs (knobs) which I simply have not found a good way to print slightly oversize and machine down neatly. So I'd love some ideas.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm also looking for suggestions on how to make &quot;+&quot;-axle holes that deliver a satisfying fit. I know the official parts have small &quot;ramps&quot; on the edges to give a better friction fit, which isn't very practical for me to make. But right now I'm stuck filing out the axle holes by hand, which is a slow, difficult and inaccurate process. Any advice on a good way to cut or trim them would be extremely welcome.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At this point I cannot achieve the dimensional accuracy required to get a really good fit straight off the print bed, though I'm working on that too. So I'm relying on erring on the side of too much material then removing material in post-processing to get the desired fit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Related engineering.stackexchange.com post](https://engineering.stackexchange.com/q/29958/21690)" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

The page for the &quot;a&quot; part also links to the &quot;b&quot; one." Text="I would tend to recommend some options which you didn't consider yet: using bevel gears, but actually use a combination of two gear on each axle: a 12t one ([the thin one, as you say](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=6589)), and behind it, a 20t one (there you can use a [fat one](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=32269), which will probably be better).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another option is to use a [worm screw](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=4716), which will also allow you to change the direction of the axle, but which makes the axles non coplanar.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But it really depends on a variety of factors. Gear reduction is one (keeping in mind it has implications on torque, but frankly I'm already way over my head here so I won't tackle that aspect); but torque transmission is another, and so is strength/reliability.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For example, the [knob wheel](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=32072) that you did mention has some uses, as it practically can't slip, but at the cost of lower torque transmitted (or something). Worm screws again have another particularity which is unique to them in that they can transfer torque only one way, which also has its uses (locking a mechanism in place).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And then don't forget that the gears aren't all there is to say: sticking your gears closer to the beams will help, as will replacing the two separate beams by an [actual frame](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=40345). You can also make sure one of the axles goes all the way to the other side of the frame.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And last thing, if you're going to transfer power to two wheels, don't forget to use a [differential](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=6573) between them (not sure the [new one](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=121650#T=C&amp;C=85) is very solid though)."

There obviously had to have been a &quot;bad&quot; batch (or &quot;fault&quot; as mentioned by TheBrickBlogger) of one of the two pieces that unfortunately made it to some customers.  The simplest solution, if you don't have any extra parts of this type, would be to put a tiny piece of paper or tape on the tip of the nozzle before inserting it into the rocket piece.  Another suggestion, if you have a couple of 1x1 round plates with open studs (part #85861), is to insert these into the rocket holes to hold the nozzles in place.

To accomplish this, I've added some hinged panels to cover both the landing area and the top of the tower itself.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've been using a fantastic online LEGO CAD system called [MecaBricks][1]. You can view the [current iteration on the MecaBricks site][2] (yes, I know the colors are garish). I have the design *almost* where I want it except for one small detail. I'd like to include a sort of &quot;latch&quot; or &quot;clasp&quot; for the cover panels so they won't come open by themselves. I'd prefer the latching mechanism to be on the interior of the landing area without taking up too much of the interior space. At the same time, it isn't a &quot;deal-breaker&quot; if I have to use a solution that involves a latch on the outside as that might be better in the long run. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Regardless, I'm having difficulty determining exactly how to accomplish this and could really use some recommendations. I was thinking of using one of the pin connectors that has the &quot;towball&quot; at the end so that it wasn't quite so &quot;stiff&quot; of a connection. I thought I remembered seeing a rubber piece that looks similar to the [LEGO Technic Flexible Rubber Axle Connector (45590)][3] (on BrickLink) but with a female connection that would accept the ball instead of the axle &quot;cross&quot;, but I can't seem to find it anywhere now.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've also looked at the [Pop-Up Book Clasp Tutorial and Other Mods][4]. A variation of the &quot;clasp&quot; used there may be my eventual solution, but I wanted to see if anyone had any other suggestions before I traveled too far down that road.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://mecabricks.com&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://mecabricks.com/en/models/MgaXygNP2z0&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=45590#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://jkbrickworks.com/pop-up-book-mods/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

To accomplish this, I've added some hinged panels to cover both the landing area and the top of the tower itself.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've been using a fantastic online LEGO CAD system called [MecaBricks][1]. You can view the [current iteration of my dice tower][2] on the MecaBricks site (yes, I know the colors are garish). I have the design *almost* where I want it except for one small detail. I'd like to include a sort of &quot;latch&quot; or &quot;clasp&quot; for the cover panels so they won't come open by themselves. I'd prefer the latching mechanism to be on the interior of the landing area without taking up too much of the interior space. At the same time, it isn't a &quot;deal-breaker&quot; if I have to use a solution that involves a latch on the outside as that might be better in the long run. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Regardless, I'm having difficulty determining exactly how to accomplish this and could really use some recommendations. I was thinking of using one of the pin connectors that has the &quot;towball&quot; at the end so that it wasn't quite so &quot;stiff&quot; of a connection. I thought I remembered seeing a rubber piece that looks similar to the [LEGO Technic Flexible Rubber Axle Connector (45590)][3] (on BrickLink) but with a female connection that would accept the ball instead of the axle &quot;cross&quot;, but I can't seem to find it anywhere now.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've also looked at the [Pop-Up Book Clasp Tutorial and Other Mods][4]. A variation of the &quot;clasp&quot; used there may be my eventual solution, but I wanted to see if anyone had any other suggestions before I traveled too far down that road.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://mecabricks.com&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://mecabricks.com/en/models/MgaXygNP2z0&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=45590#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://jkbrickworks.com/pop-up-book-mods/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Ensure you have a working battery box and cable by setting up your functioning motor. Once you have confirmed that it runs OK, you can be sure that if after swapping the motor for a broken one, the problem must be in that motor.&#xD;&#xA;2. Check if you can turn the motor's axle manually by inserting a Technic axle and turning it by hand. It may be more comfortable if you add a gear or a wheel to get a better grip. If you can't turn it at all or only considerably harder than the working one, you should suspect some mechanical failure (e.g. broken gears inside).&#xD;&#xA;3. If you have a multimeter, you could check if the electrical characteristics of the broken motors match those of the working one. A significantly lower resistance between the contacts is a sign of a short circuit, while a significantly higher one indicates a broken wire. With a bit of jerry-rigging you could also measure the current flowing through a motor that should be running from a battery box and comparing it to a normal motor's to see if there is too little or too much current.&#xD;&#xA;4. You could also try [opening up the motor][1] and checking for broken or burned parts, foreign objects or debris, etc. Note, the above guide is for the M motor, but the same principles would apply for the L motor as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If none of the above helps, try contacting LEGO, as they would be able to provide replacement parts or further advice.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-fix-LEGO-M-motor/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Overall, I think the concept is cool, and making your own build out of *LEGO* looks fun.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The design of the covers look fine to me.  I even like the so called &quot;garish colors&quot; and the checker-board art styled layout, which makes the overall courtyard castle theme pop.  So, I see the cool factor, and can understand if this was a one time build to be displayed on a shelf, but I don't think a one time use is the intent here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, the bigger question, I think we might be overlooking, is how the entire design is intended to be used.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Okay, it's a *Dice Tower* where we load dice thorough the top opening and retrieve the dice at the opened landing.  So, there is a fair amount of repetitive activity around the top/landing areas, but unfortunately, those two areas are exactly where this design has both pairs of suspended covers hanging about.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I know the question mainly had to do with a way to secure the moving lips of the build, but the question may be slightly premature given it use in a real world environment. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I see the use of a *CAD* tool to help conceptualize the build, save money etc, and you seemed ready to purchase some bricks to get to building, but I wanted to at least point out the disconnection between a virtual build, and a real life physical build, and bring some awareness here with a few well placed questions we might want to ask ourselves beforehand.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**CAD Oversight Weight Factor One:** Gravity's pull on an object.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, each cover is held in place by *only* two hinge bricks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Question 01:**  Can the clutch ability of the hinge bricks be enough to counter the force of gravity's pull on the hanging cover's&#xD;&#xA;   weight? &#xD;&#xA;   &#xD;&#xA;   **Question 02:** Is the clutch strong enough to counter the unintended knock of a hand or jerk of the wrist? &#xD;&#xA;   &#xD;&#xA;   **Question 03:** Having a circle of players, how fun would it be to demand everyone to have robotic claw-arm precision to roll, drop, and&#xD;&#xA;   retrieve dice without ever jerk/knocking into the suspended lip&#xD;&#xA;   covers?&#xD;&#xA;   &#xD;&#xA;   **Question 04:**  What's the aftermath of cleaning up shattered cover lip pieces all over the floor?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These are all questions to stimulate thinking, so a direct answer is not necessarily needed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**CAD Oversight Weight Factor Two:** Slump support. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Even though a virtual world *CAD* doesn't point this out, but there may be some unintended trouble in a real life build. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The weight of the covers alone, or added external pressure from an object, like the weight of a hand, might make the lips slump at these points.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*My* Opinionated Conclusions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;01.

The new design is based on a suggestion for a &quot;cookie jar&quot; style design made in another of my questions, [LEGO Enclosure Clasp](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/11672/lego-enclosure-clasp). However, I'm having difficulty identifying which bricks to use to properly implement the idea and need a bit of inspiration. Could someone point me to an example of a set or other MOC design that uses something like [brick #2653 (the 1x4 &quot;sliding&quot; piece)][1] in conjunction with a rubber band to generate friction against the side of another piece (if such exists)?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's a *very* rough diagram of what I'm thinking of. The rubber band (red) goes around the inner square and fits into the groove in part #2653 (yellow) but &quot;sticks out&quot; enough so that, unless force is applied to push them past the grey bricks, they should generally stay in place.&#xD;&#xA;[![example][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My &quot;problem&quot; - and the reason I'm looking for guidance here - is two-fold. First, I have a relatively large (14x16) area around which I need this &quot;gasket&quot;. Obviously, if the rubber band were to go around the entire thing, there would need to be some sort of reinforcement behind the grooved bricks to prevent the tension of the rubber band from just pulling them out of place. But, I'm thinking about using a few smaller sections (like one or two of the 1x4 end-to-end), each with their own rubber band. Perhaps a few of these around the perimeter would be sufficient?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The second is that I'm doing all of this virtually through a CAD system before I go looking into purchasing physical bricks and pieces I may or may not need. I've made several variants of the MOC with different ideas for how to implement the cover to refine my ideas as much as possible before I &quot;pull the trigger&quot;, so I'd really like to see how someone else might have addressed this particular situation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=2653#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/xbNOm.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

For the past week or so I've been working on refining my own MOC idea using [Mecabricks](https://mecabricks.com). It's taken me a little while to get familiarized with the toolset available and there are probably some features I haven't even looked into yet, but it's a pretty great, online *LEGO* CAD (computer-aided design) tool for putting together MOC's. If you just want to &quot;jump in&quot; and start building, their [Workshop](https://mecabricks.com/en/workshop) is accessible without any signup, although to save your designs you'll need to register (free) an account.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've not tried their import functionality, so I can't speak to that at this time. I'm not sure how it works or if it would be a way to bring in the information for existing sets. I couldn't say if there are any bricks &quot;missing&quot; from their available list but you can use pretty much any color, including transparent, metallic, etc. It does not (currently) offer the feature for producing instructions, although that appears to be in the works. It *does*, however, offer a [way to export the parts list](https://www.mecabricks.com/en/forum/topic/401) when you're done to a CSV file or an XML file that can be used on [BrickLink](https://www.bricklink.com) to add the parts used in your MOC to a wanted list.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Just for reference, I hadn't used this site until this week, and I've already been able to use it to create [*several* variations of a pretty simple MOC](https://mecabricks.com/en/user/G-Hosa-Phat) idea I had (my designs use bricks that apparently aren't available in the colors I've chosen, but this has at least given me an idea of the direction I want to take it)."

We have therefore decided to replace the current EV3 Lab software and EV3 Programming App with a completely new app, called LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education EV3 Classroom. Featuring a coding language based on Scratch, EV3 Classroom will initially launch for macOS in November 2019 and in spring 2020 for iOS, Windows 10, Android and Chrome. EV3 Classroom will offer a consistent experience, features, and content across all devices. The first release of EV3 Classroom will be in US English, followed by the other 15 EV3 languages in spring 2020.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; To continue to enjoy an uninterrupted EV3 experience, we recommend that you upgrade to the new EV3 Classroom app before updating to the new OS version.

Amazon does their own thing, mostly competing with Wal-Mart and not LEGO directly. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have also noticed that in the past 2-3 years, Black Friday sales are not the best either from LEGO directly or retailers. However, the couple of weeks leading up to Black Friday can be pretty good. Again, this is not an indication of what will happen this year, it is just what I noticed in the past few years.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;LEGO Technic sets, especially the large ones from the current year, rarely go on sale. So, if you can get something like Double VIP Points (basically giving you 10% off), is not bad. On Amazon, I have seen as much as 30% off before Black Friday on some of the larger LEGO Technic sets and that was considered exceptional. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some people missed out because they thought prices will be even better during Black Friday. That did not happen. And that brings up another point. Don't be greedy with looking for the ultimate sale and risk missing out altogether. Look at the price you would be happy with, willing to pay, and is reasonable. Then, just go for it." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

You need to be able to identify pieces in your stash of bricks that are special or not commonly used. The best candidates are bricks with stickers, as stickers are often special to just one set. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Once you have identified one or more unique pieces, look them up and see which sets they came in. Look through the inventory of those sets to confirm you have most of the other pieces in that set as well, and voila: you have found your set.&#xD;&#xA;Next, go to www.lego.com and download the instruction manual for that set, then build the set to verify its completeness.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note: if one of the stickered pieces contains a car license plate, or any other sticker with a 4 or 5 digit number on it, chances are that that is the set number.

There were actually 4 Monorail Trains planned, a Futuron Space-Themed one, a Unitron Space-Themed one, the ever pleasant Airport Shuttle Town-Themed one, (good for cities, even by today's standards, as building a large scale Monorail using brick-build tracks and Power Functions is a little too labor intensive, and, in some cases, expensive, for some buyers), and the last one, a Seatron Monorail.  Seatron was unfortunately unreleased, as Lego's own higher ups thought that it wasn't the right time for aliens, which if you know Lego Prototypes, you know Seatron had aliens.  Ultimately, as Seatron's Monorail was unreleased, it is unknown just what size of track it had, or if it had the long or short car couplings, (yes, there were two types of coupler), but what is known is that it was a very large train itself, despite not knowing the piece count on the train itself, (of which, it may not have had the highest piece count for a monorail train), it did have one of the largest finished product sizes I've seen, including a very large globe-style cockpit on either end, a small, (about 10 studs long), presumably passenger compartment, and, most of all for those of us in the MOC community using these old trains, the central motor cover was featured in yellow, (currently, only Airport Shuttle's train had a central motor cover, in red, which has severly limited the creation of new trains with the cover outside of red-colored engines).  The Seatron was also the widest monorail, as it featured a pair of Part 2466 on either side, making the train about 8 studs wide, in comparison to Airport Shuttle, which was only 4 studs wide with the doors closed.  Either way, poor Seatron never had the chance to shine, it would've made for some pretty impressive MOCs, and overall would've made, just as it was, a futuristic cargo or construction themed monorail.  But, alas, Seatron never got to show us her glory, and thus Monorail #4 never saw the light of day outside of the set design lab she was created in.  I'm certain old Seatron, of, as I call her, #4, is currently sitting in Lego's own archives, gathering dust, she'll never move again.  Sigh, oh well, why am I telling you this?  Just look for yourself t the glory of Monorail #4, Seatron:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Seatron Monorail #4 Image 1][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Seatron Monorail #4 Image 2][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/7YYWl.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/YY4hB.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

On older minifigures from the 80's, 90's, and early 2000's it's okay. (I'm not saying it's a good thing) Sure, doing it too many times will gradually wear them down, but not enough to the point where the torso or arms break. New minifigures from 2012 and onwards though, NEVER TAKE THEIR ARMS OUT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! Newer minifigures tend to crack and wear out more often. I don't know why this is, but it could be a decrease in the plastic's quality over the years. (LEGO seems to be running cheap) Taking out the arms can (and will) cause massive cracks down the side of the torso piece. Just recently I got new Luke Skywalker and tusken raider minifigures from set number 75173, and BOTH of the minifigure's torsos ended up with giant crack from the bottom of the torso upwards towards the arm holes within 1 week of each-other. This crack causes the arm to loose support and come loose. I was enraged by this, and had to re-order the torso pieces.

This time, however, I was wondering if anyone can point to official LEGO web page on which this fact is confirmed. I've already read &quot;Fair Play&quot; document and &quot;Fair Play Brochure&quot; but all what they say is that &quot;the LEGO logo is a trade mark and cannot be used w/o permission&quot; meaning that if I have a brick with LEGO logo on it then I can be 99,99% sure that this is a genuine LEGO brick. What I need, however, is the &quot;opposite&quot; i.e. a sentence claiming that &quot;a stud on a genuine LEGO brick has always had the LEGO logo since the year 19xx&quot; or even more: &quot;a stud on a genuine LEGO brick has never had this round cavity on the top&quot; (cavities I mention are present e.g. on studs [here][2]).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've already asked the same question via the contact form on the official LEGO support page but received no answer yet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Context: I'm currently having a dispute whether a set of bricks that some guy sold me were genuine LEGO bricks. He claims that they were, I know that they were not. I will, however, have to provide evidence to the police. Information on lego.com page or answer from lego.com would do in my opinion. High resolution images of the 42009 set (battery part) on official LEGO page would also be good but &lt;del&gt;this set is no longer present on lego.com&lt;/del&gt; this set does not have the close up of the part I need. High resolution images of 8293 (Power Functions Motor Set) are there but are they a proof I don't know yet (one can always say that these parts have LOGO lego now but they didn't in 2013). There is a movie with 42009 on lego.com but it is rendered and does not present real bricks and not sure if can be used.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/9567/are-there-lego-plates-without-the-word-lego-on-the-studs/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://lepinland.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/457368-eymizg.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Here are some pointers you might consider when communicating with them: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It seems like your question is about some of the electronic components. So, let's narrow down your question to those. The battery in the #42009 LEGO Mobile Crane has two studs on top with the LEGO logo on them. In addition, right above the studs their is a &quot;2006 The LEGO Group&quot; moulded into the lighter colored plastic. And there are also larger LEGO logos moulded into the sides of the unit. So, five LEGO logos in total.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This battery box has no alternates. It only came in this one version as evidenced by the BrickLink database, which is the most comprehensive database of all LEGO parts every made: [ELECTTRIC 9-VOLT BATTERY BOX][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would also add to this that smooth LEGO studs always have the LEGO logo moulded into them, and this has always been the case since the earliest days of the company. There are hollow studs (like in some electronic pieces, LEGO Technic pieces, LEGO windows, hollow 1x1 round studs, etc.), however in such cases the LEGO logo will appear on some other place on the piece. The very few exceptions to this rule are when pieces are so tiny that it was simply not possible/practical to print a LEGO logo on them (i.e. hollow 1x1 round stud, some very small minifigure accessories, etc.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rather than being too generic like you did in your question above, when contacting LEGO's customer service, I would suggest to focus on two points. This can result in a quicker response and faster action. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Ask them whether the specific electronic parts you are concerned&#xD;&#xA;    about (list exact set and part numbers) were ever produced without a LEGO logo (the answer will be no,&#xD;&#xA;    but for your legal case it's best to have this in writing directly&#xD;&#xA;    from LEGO).&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA; 2. Alert LEGO that someone is selling fake parts and claiming that&#xD;&#xA;    they are genuine. LEGO's legal department will be very interested in&#xD;&#xA;    this, which can help your personal case. It's even possible that&#xD;&#xA;    this seller has been on their radar already, and the information you&#xD;&#xA;    provide will be helpful to their case.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are lots of imitation LEGO out there, but the companies making them do not claim that their products are genuine LEGO. They sell under their own brand names for cheaper prices than LEGO can provide. LEGO's legal department is fighting these companies already. Someone selling fake LEGO and claiming that it's genuine is a whole other level of criminal. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please keep in mind that if this is someone like a small eBay seller, they may have been duped themselves and they really believed that the parts they acquired are genuine LEGO. So keep your communication professional and you may be satisfied with just a refund. If, however, the seller is a larger online store specializing in fake LEGO parts and selling them as genuine, definitely let LEGO's legal department know and you may pursue your own legal case as well.     &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=59510c01&amp;idColor=86#T=C&amp;C=86&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Also, it is worth noting that I modified the 3:1 gear ratio between the axles and central differential to a 1.667:1 ratio, as with the 3:1 ratio the problem was way worse, but not because of the gear ratio, but because both of the U-joints were out of phase.

This time, however, I was wondering if anyone can point to official LEGO web page on which this fact is confirmed. I've already read &quot;Fair Play&quot; document and &quot;Fair Play Brochure&quot; but all what they say is that &quot;the LEGO logo is a trade mark and cannot be used w/o permission&quot; meaning that if I have a brick with LEGO logo on it then I can be 99,99% sure that this is a genuine LEGO brick. What I need, however, is the &quot;opposite&quot; i.e. a sentence claiming that &quot;a stud on a genuine LEGO brick has always had the LEGO logo since the year 19xx&quot; or even more: &quot;a stud on a genuine LEGO brick has never had this round cavity on the top&quot; (cavities I mention are present e.g. on studs [here][2]).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've already asked the same question via the contact form on the official LEGO support page but received no answer yet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Context: I'm currently having a dispute whether a set of bricks that some guy sold me were genuine LEGO bricks. He claims that they were, I know that they were not. I will, however, have to provide evidence to the police. Information on lego.com page or answer from lego.com would do in my opinion. High resolution images of the 42009 set (battery part) on official LEGO page would also be good but &lt;del&gt;this set is no longer present on lego.com&lt;/del&gt; this set does not have the close up of the part I need. High resolution images of 8293 (Power Functions Motor Set) are there but are they a proof I don't know yet (one can always say that these parts have LOGO lego now but they didn't in 2013). There is a movie with 42009 on lego.com but it is rendered and does not present real bricks and not sure if can be used.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT**: yes, all the pieces of the brick set I received (the supposed 42009 set) are forged. I can tell this because the bricks I received differ in many aspects from bricks from original LEGO sets I've assembled so far (more than a dozen sets, mostly &gt; 1000 bricks): some of them connect poorly, some of them connect so hard I struggled a lot to disconnect; the surface of liftarms is not as straight as LEGO liftarms; the liftarms have this extra filling around holes (google &quot;lepin liftarm&quot; and choose &quot;large images&quot; in &quot;adv search&quot; to see what I mean); some pieces are not cut properly e.g. the bushes have thin pieces of plastic connected to the hole on the side; and the main one: there is no LEGO logo on any of the parts: not only the studs but also the battery box and motor. However from legal point of view I can't just say that I am sure that these are not LEGO bricks. Moreover I cannot even prove that the bricks I present are indeed the bricks that the other guy sent me. So I took a closer look at the pictures from the auction (the pictures the seller made himself = the pictures of actual brick set he sent me) and found pieces with studs with no LEGO logo (Black Plate 2x3 (3021) , Motor 9V Power Functions L (99499c01) ). I was extremely lucky that this seller made pictures with such high resolution. And yes, I contacted the LEGO support and sent them exacly the same pictures as below and they confirm that these are NOT original LEGO bricks. I will post their full answer and some more content soon.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![end of motor cable][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/9567/are-there-lego-plates-without-the-word-lego-on-the-studs/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://lepinland.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/457368-eymizg.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/pwpG9.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ausco.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

As such, sets from licenses LEGO already has (Disney, Marvel, DC, for example) are easier for LEGO to produce since there is already a license. However, even then, depending on the terms on the license (which we know nothing about), the license owner might have more or less control over what can be done. Think Disney approving SW minifig helmets or that kind of stuff. I don't remember seeing sets based on a Dreamworks license yet, so I don't think LEGO has one. No idea whether Dreamworks would even be willing to consider one either or on what terms. Especially since LEGO already has a Disney license.&#xD;&#xA; - LEGO sets tied to a movie are usually tied to the movie release as well, as doing otherwise would probably mean poor sales. So in this case doing sets based on the 2010 movie might make little sense, although sets based on the 2019 might make sense.&#xD;&#xA; - Even then, sales for license sets would be hard to predict. While there's no question SW sets are easy moneymakers, not all licenses have been successes. Think Lone Ranger, for example. Licenses with more material (more movies) might have more chances. There's probably no way to tell how much success would a How To Train Your Dragon license have, but LEGO would definitely have to weigh that in. And the conclusion might very well be that it'd be better to make more Disney sets.&#xD;&#xA; - You may notice at this point that some sets have been made for long-past movies seemingly in contradiction with all I just set, such as Back to the Future. These are interesting exceptions because they come from LEGO Ideas - which means LEGO knows there is some kind of support for a potential sets (10000 fans have vetted it after all) and that a preliminary design is already done. Plus, it's usually only one set so the risk isn't too high and it's a good entry point for LEGO to acquire a new license. Even then, a lot of LEGO Ideas candidates are rejected, and it's etirely possible some are because LEGO can't secure a license.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Still, this is your best bet: if you want How To Train Your Dragon sets... go design some, propose them on LEGO Ideas, and try to gather as much support as you can.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Just compare instructions from older sets (See [USS Constellation](http://www.peeron.com/scans/398-1/1) for example) and recent ones and you'll see how far LEGO has gone in that regards.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Adding less parts per step, or having a full bill of materials per step are the most noticeable improvements; but there are other more subtle ones, such as recoloring of parts (Technic pins for example, but also hidden bircks - see [Steamboat Willie](https://brickset.com/sets/21317-1/Steamboat-Willie) for a recent example.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As such, I wouldn't be surprised there are internal rules on what can be done in building instructions, or recommended guidelines; and maybe &quot;step 1 is just one part&quot; is one; or maybe a variation such as &quot;step 1 can't have more than one layer&quot; - thing is, this is an internal LEGO process for which we'll presumably never know the details. Such rules could even depend on the set age range; something allowed in 11= sets might be discouraged in 7+ sets, for example.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now why does LEGO do this? Keeping in mind their target audience, children, it's a fair guess that they want to make sure kids can build their models smoothly and without frustration, unless they risk giving up which could alienate them from LEGO altogether. I remember being stuck at step 5 when building my first LEGO Technic set, [a tractor](http://www.peeron.com/scans/851-1/2) and that was indeed frustrating. Also, what we adults think children can do can be very different from what they actually will do; I've seen my nephew build a set recently and he was following instructions very very loosely. Which makes it extra hard to create good instructions for them. It's very likely LEGO does test builds with real children for that exact reason: see firsthand what works and what doesn't.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One more note: think one step where only one part is added is weird?

In particular, battery boxes tend to get superfluous very fast (YMMV on this). So buying motors only might be a cheaper route; they are available per piece on LEGO's online shop - [8883](https://brickset.com/sets/8883-1/M-Motor) is the same as the set 8293; [88003](https://brickset.com/sets/88003-1/L-Motor) is a more Technic-oriented version and [8882](https://brickset.com/sets/8882-1/XL-Motor) is the &quot;XL&quot; motor: slower, but with a lot of torque. (Again, read Philo's comparison). On the other hand, if you do want a battery box, it might be more interesting to buy a full motorized LEGO set, in which case you also get tons of additional elements, and the added thrill of building an official set. Beware that some motorized sets also come with IR remote &amp; receiver, which may or may not interest you.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that the Power Functions system itself is going to be phased out by LEGO in favor of the newer Powered Up; but so far it's not quite clear if and how you can control those without a remote or app, as there's no &quot;dumb&quot; battery box so far - only hubs with more or less smartness.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And of course, since you're a programmer, you may want to have a look at programmable solutions, either EV3 or the upcoming Spike."

I tested everything before joining the front axle and rear axle, and the friction was quite low, not nearly high enough to get gears to skip or practically stall an PF XL motor. When I joined the two halves, the lower gears worked just fine, but there was slightly more friction generated than I expected. However, on the higher gears (3/lo and above) the friction increased way more than expected, rendering 4th/lo somewhat unusable and 4th/hi completely unusable. Strangely, all the gears work flawlessly if the car is pushed backward. Also, the rotation of the output of both the 4-speed and the 2-speed transmissions is uneven, the output of the 4-speed transmission being way more uneven than that of the 2-speed transmission. The friction certainly is not the sum of the front and rear axles together, it is far more. Also, it is worth noting that I modified the 3:1 gear ratio between the axles and central differential to a 1.667:1 ratio, as with the 3:1 ratio the problem was way worse, but not because of the gear ratio, but because both of the U-joints were out of phase. Any explanation for this strange behavior or tips on how to fix it are welcome.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;10/10/19 update: I watched RacingBrick's video on this subject, and it turned out that PART of the problem was that my U-joints were out of phase. I fixed that problem and it is working a lot better, but the problem still persists, although to a lesser extent.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;10/11/19 update: I switched the 1.667:1 ratio for the 3:1 ratio while making sure that the U-joints were in phase. The unevenness issue is virtually gone, but the skipping of gears still persists, but to a lesser extent. I can post another YouTube video if it helps.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;10/11/19 update 2: I added bag 3 and both of the problems are back, though somewhat different. Before, the gears started skipping immediately, but now it works just fine for the first 5 to 10 feet, then starts to skip. I checked the U-joints and they're in phase. I'm very confused.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;link to video:(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNyK0ZDi-pE&amp;feature=youtu.be)" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Their imaginations will also be fired up in a series of workshops, where they’ll be challenged to rebuild the world they see around them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;“My whole career has been about working with brilliant, creative people and seeing where our imaginations take us. Rebuild The World, is a wonderful opportunity to help inspire the next generation of creators who will come up with their own ideas to shape the future of everything from the way we live to the music we listen to,” explains Mark Ronson.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;The LEGO Group believes that every child is born with incredible creative problem-solving capabilities, but we need to act now to nurture that creativity so that it can become a lifelong skill, as the future depends on it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;Inspiring creativity is more critical and urgent than ever. The World Economic Forum Future of Jobs Report places creative problem solving in the top three skills the job market will require from 2020. Imaginative play helps children learn how to innovate, problem solve and think critically throughout their lives.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;Mark Ronson will also be joined by representatives from other creative fields to discuss why it’s more important than ever to help nurture creativity as a key skill so that the builders of tomorrow can succeed in an ever-changing world.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;Julia Goldin, Chief Marketing Officer, The LEGO Group, said: “Rebuild The World is all about seeing where imagination takes us and celebrating the natural creativity of children. We want to encourage kids around the world to develop and retain these skills as they grow older. With this campaign, we want to inspire people of all ages to play and unleash their creativity to create a world of infinite possibilities.”&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;Meanwhile, British designer and inventor Dominic Wilcox will lead a series of Rebuilder Workshops on the 17th September. He, along with two other creatives, will challenge kids to reimagine iconic landmarks, invent new gadgets and solve everyday problems – all with LEGO bricks. Other LEGO professionals will lend a hand, helping the kids bring their incredible ideas to life.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;“Who knows what will come out of today… a house with a hot air balloon for a roof?  A car with long legs to jump over the traffic ahead? No one sees the world quite like children so we’re excited to see what they come up with,” says Dominic Wilcox. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;Kids around the world can also take part by sharing their creations on the LEGO Life app or by visiting [www.lego.com/rebuild-the-world-challenge][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;The LEGO system has long been the ultimate platform for creative expression and creative problem solving. Children don’t just imagine what to build, they can build and rebuild. Experiment. Fail. Break the rules. Fail and Try again… This is the cycle of human creativity and the essence of the LEGO System in Play.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;Now, we’re going even further. Through Rebuild The World, we want to inspire children to unleash their creativity, join the Rebuild The World challenge and rebuild a world of endless possibilities for real.  Learn more by visiting [www.lego.com/rebuild-the-world][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;**About the campaign**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;Rebuild The World is a fully integrated global campaign which will be featured across a variety of channels including TV, digital, cinemas and out of home. The LEGO Group will also be hosting a series of high profile public events in cities around the where children and grown-ups will be invited to build and rebuild with LEGO bricks to make the world a little brighter. This includes using LEGO bricks to complete a giant heart on the side of the East Side Gallery in Berlin [www.LEGOnewsroom.de][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;The campaign was created by the LEGO Group’s internal agency with BETC Paris and the film was directed by the multi award-winning Traktor collective. It’s a fun-filled adventure that follows the chase between a clever rabbit and an unlucky hunter and unfolds in the kind of world that only LEGO play could create. Every character, animal and vehicle is based on an existing or past LEGO toy, so heads spin 360 degrees, everyday objects are outsized, and a boat can suddenly fly with a little help from a palm tree.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.lego.com/rebuild-the-world-challenge&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://www.lego.com/rebuild-the-world&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://www.LEGOnewsroom.de" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

That said, there are several examples of pieces LEGO doesn’t classify as a part that are used in MOCs, such as:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The [pin][1] used to keep bundles of 4 train tracks together.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- This [technic hub piece][3] was never intended for standalone use (it was part of a pin joiner) but has been used by MOCcers due to having antistuds on both sides (within a 1x1 brick footprint).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- The iconic [brick separator][5] is not intended as a regular LEGO piece, but has a whole class of MOCs based on it. I have seen it used as railway station roofs, spaceship wings etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Net, I think the general consensus is that if it has been produced by LEGO and you can find a way to incorporate it into a MOC, your creation is still considered “purist”. At the least it gives you good arguments for any debate that might arise. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Curious to see how you will incorporate shopping bags in a MOC ... I can imagine one being used in a rather large scale MOC where you utilize the LEGO logo on it as part of a display.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=bb0219&amp;name=Train,%20Track%20Plastic%20(RC%20Trains)%20Connection/Stacking%20Pin%20for%20Track%20Storage&amp;category=%5BTrain,%20Track%5D#T=S&amp;C=85&amp;O=%7B%22color%22:85,%22iconly%22:0%7D&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/7Jiws.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=424&amp;name=Technic%20Hub%20/%20Handle%201%20x%201&amp;category=%5BTechnic%5D#T=S&amp;O=%7B%22iconly%22:0%7D&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/xoCw0.png&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=96874&amp;name=Human%20Tool,%20Brick%20and%20Axle%20Separator&amp;category=%5BAccessory,%20Human%20Tool%5D#T=S&amp;O=%7B%22iconly%22:0%7D&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/aRVIo.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Text="Not really an answer, just a small point of fact.....  There were actually 4 Monorail Trains planned, a Futuron Space-Themed one, a Unitron Space-Themed one, the ever pleasant Airport Shuttle Town-Themed one, (good for cities, even by today's standards, as building a large scale Monorail using brick-build tracks and Power Functions is a little too labor intensive, and, in some cases, expensive, for some buyers), and the last one, a Seatron Monorail.  Seatron was unfortunately unreleased, as Lego's own higher ups thought that it wasn't the right time for aliens, which if you know Lego Prototypes, you know Seatron had aliens.  Ultimately, as Seatron's Monorail was unreleased, it is unknown just what size of track it had, or if it had the long or short car couplings, (yes, there were two types of coupler), but what is known is that it was a very large train itself, despite not knowing the piece count on the train itself, (of which, it may not have had the highest piece count for a monorail train), it did have one of the largest finished product sizes I've seen, including a very large globe-style cockpit on either end, a small, (about 10 studs long), presumably passenger compartment, and, most of all for those of us in the MOC community using these old trains, the central motor cover was featured in yellow, (currently, only Airport Shuttle's train had a central motor cover, in red, which has severly limited the creation of new trains with the cover outside of red-colored engines).  The Seatron was also the widest monorail, as it featured a pair of Part 2466 on either side, making the train about 8 studs wide, in comparison to Airport Shuttle, which was only 4 studs wide with the doors closed.  Either way, poor Seatron never had the chance to shine, it would've made for some pretty impressive MOCs, and overall would've made, just as it was, a futuristic cargo or construction themed monorail.  But, alas, Seatron never got to show us her glory, and thus Monorail #4 never saw the light of day outside of the set design lab she was created in.  I'm certain old Seatron, of, as I call her, #4, is currently sitting in Lego's own archives, gathering dust, she'll never move again.  Sigh, oh well, why am I telling you this?  Just look for yourself t the glory of Monorail #4, Seatron:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Seatron Monorail #4 Image 1][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Seatron Monorail #4 Image 2][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;BREAKING NEWS!  Straight from the minds of Lego Developers, here be Monorail #5, I think....  Tell me what you think....  Hmm, kinda interesting to see the Buffaloes again.  Also seems kinda interesting that there are two different engines pictured, and both are Steam Engines, which really differ from the Engines #1-#4.  (noteworthy, there are some referances to attempts to build Steam Monorails in the real world, just like these, over-rail too).  Although, the site I got this from, Eurobricks, seems to have a link to Brickipedia, and as somebody who's browsed more prototype over on the old Brickipedia than most, I find it odd that I never saw this image, otherwise I would've remembered it....

The term &quot;Minifig-scale&quot; is a fan term and is fairly loose, as the scale of the figs themselves don't really equate to reasonable human dimensions. Add to that the fact that minifig-scale vehicles and buildings have had variable relative sizes compared to minifigs, making it difficult to describe a standard scale that is officially used in LEGO sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are a few &quot;micro-scale&quot; sets, including [Micro Scale Space Cruiser][1], [Micro Scale][2], and [Micro Scale Bag End][3].

However, they also did a [Midi-scale Star Destroyer][6] that is totally NOT the same scale as the Falcon.

Can it be reduced?  Yes.  There are several possibilities to consider, one of which is the programming.  Put a pin in the hub of each wheel to serve as a marker, spin the wheels so the in the same position.  Write a program to go straight for 20 revolutions.  Hold the robot in the air, run the program, and examine the location of the pins.  The should match.  Differences can be programming issues, but more likely the position sensors in the motors.  Try switching swapping one motor and retrying the test.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;More likely, putting the robot on the ground and running the program will show the pins match, but the robot veered.  Again, several possible causes, one likely cause is the friction on one side of the robot is greater.  Changing to a caster will reduce the friction and might help.  Another possibility is that the motors are a bit wobbly and allow the axles to bend so they do not match.  This can often be helped by adding a skirt on the outside of the robot to support the axles from the outside." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Text="Can anyone identify these bricks, which I suspect are Lego clones.  They may be more than 30 years old. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I bought them on ebay as Betta Bilda from Lego/Duplo dealer. Some BB was included, but these are unknown to me, with an extensive BB collection.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Mystery bricks 1][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;[![Mystery bricks 4][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The underside of the bricks is hollow and with apparently random numbers - they aren't part numbers because they are different for the same part and sometimes the same for different parts.  Window frames have no top studs.&#xD;&#xA;[![Mystery bricks 7][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;[![Mystery bricks 8][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;[![Mystery bricks 13][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I took a good look through many posts with similar questions, but found nothing that matched.  Many Google reverse images searches kept pointing at real Lego/Duplo, before I noticed this place. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Usually I can identify unknowns like this, but these are a real challenge.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit (Nov 29, 2019) Some comments have asked for clarity on size of these bricks.  The majority are close to if not identical to 8 stud Lego, although there are also 2 and 4 stud bricks too.  They clip to Betta Bilda pieces, in a similar way to authentic Lego. The window frames appear to be confirmed by two comments as 1950-60 Lego, but addition insight would still be appreciated.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/1xSNi.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/9pO9E.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/MLvsa.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/QmrFC.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/tceIf.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

There is no direct replacement for this software and no way to automatically convert programs to any of the new software alternatives.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* At the end of November 2019, LEGO released a macOS version (English only) of their new programming software based on the Scratch programming language. This software is good for basic programming, but lacks advanced features like data logging, file access, brick-to-brick Bluetooth messaging, and 3rd party sensor support. [Home](https://www.lego.com/en-us/themes/mindstorms/downloads). [Education](https://education.lego.com/en-us/downloads/mindstorms-ev3/software).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* For users needing advanced features, the LEGO Education MicroPython for EV3 is the recommended solution. [Download](https://education.lego.com/en-us/support/mindstorms-ev3/python-for-ev3).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Info below is kept for historic record.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Updated LEGO announcement (September 2019)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;LEGO has made an [announcement][2] about a replacement software.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The current version of the EV3 Lab software is not compatible with the upcoming release of Apple’s operating system for Mac computers, called ‘Catalina’. We have therefore decided to replace the current EV3 Lab software and EV3 Programming App with a completely new app, called LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education EV3 Classroom. Featuring a coding language based on Scratch, EV3 Classroom will initially launch for macOS in November 2019 and in spring 2020 for iOS, Windows 10, Android and Chrome. EV3 Classroom will offer a consistent experience, features, and content across all devices.

For Lego it's not too hard, just Shop By Bricks, then Pick a Brick. For Duplo it's less obvious: hover over the Support tab, then click on Replacement parts, then Buy Bricks (for some reason they then ask how old you are; no Duplo to be sold to under 18's, like beer). You can then enter the Set number or Element/design number. I found the Element/design number by first searching the site for Duplo sets (Themes, Duplo), choosing a set and entering the Set number into the Set number bar, then getting the individual Design number for each part of the set I wanted. (Do they want us to buy the stuff or what?) I found the Design number for standard 4X2 Duplo bricks is 3011, for 2X2 it's 3437, for 3X2 it's 87084, and 6X2 is 2300. Individual Brick prices range from about £ .59 to £2.46 depending on design and colour. It took me over an hour to figure this out and buy some bricks.

If the tool you choose stores projects in binary files, Git is probably not the best option - you'd be better of with a Centralised Version Control System such as Subversion (SVN) or Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC or TFS) as this allows your collaborators to &quot;checkout&quot; or &quot;lock&quot; a specific file to say they are working on it, and then when they've updated it, &quot;check-in&quot; their changes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sadly for you, most developers have moved to Git based source control, as it's very good at dealing with code files, and generally much quicker when working locally, allows for &quot;offline&quot; working, etc. and solves the problem of people working on different parts of the same file or project simultaneously, so most of the free options (GitHub, GitLab, etc.) focus on that. You might be able to use the free options within [Azure DevOps][2] to create a TFS based project, or find another SVN host for your project. Most of these also offer &quot;Work Item&quot; tracking for task planning and management.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of the current software for building your MoC, the likely contenders are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. **Stud.io** - [uses a binary (.zip) format][3]. This doesn't play well in Git. Furthermore it's a password protected archive, so you can't easily extract the underlying .ldr files.&#xD;&#xA; 2. **LDraw** - uses a [text based format][4]. Potentially a better fit for Git, however the format itself would be very easy to mess up in merges if two people work on the same model files at the same time.&#xD;&#xA; 3. **LEGO Digital Designer** - uses a [text (XML) based format][5]. Potentially a good fit for Git. While XML can get messed up in merges, it's usually easier to see in merge tools where the changes should belong, and so easier to correct/adjust if two people work on the same model file. However, this is likely end-of-life now, especially with the [announced purchase of BrickLink by The LEGO Group][6].  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; **What about Studio and LEGO Digital Designer – what will happen with the&#xD;&#xA;two digital building experiences since they’re quite similar?**  &#xD;&#xA;The LEGO Group is planning to support and evolve Studio and will review opportunities&#xD;&#xA;for both services following the closing of the deal.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://trello.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://dev.azure.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://rebrickable.com/help/guide-to-stud-io/&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://www.ldraw.org/article/218.html&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/4391/56&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1167349" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Text="While you could indeed manage the project with a tool like GitHub (using the Issues feature), you might be better off initially managing the tasks through a tool like [Trello][1] which allows you to create tasks and move them through various status (i.e. Planned, In Progress, Review, Complete) in a fairly simple, intuitive user interface.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;An issue with managing the actual project files within source control is around the format of them - some file types work better than others when it comes to source control, and some formats of those types work better than others as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Git is a &quot;Distributed Version Control System&quot;, which means that anyone can work on any file in the repository on their local machine - this is usually fine when working with text based files, but is not so good when you have binary files, because understanding the differences between two versions is often not easy. If the tool you choose stores projects in binary files, Git is probably not the best option.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would strongly recommend that you consider a **Centralised Version Control System** such as Subversion (SVN) or Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC or TFS) as this allows your collaborators to &quot;checkout&quot; or &quot;lock&quot; a specific file to say they are working on it, and then when they've updated it, &quot;check-in&quot; their changes - this will (hopefully) get around the main pain points of trying to merge changes in these files, albeit with the caveat that you might still have people check-out a file and then &quot;go dark&quot; and forget to check it back in for a long time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sadly for you, most developers have moved to Git based source control, as it's very good at dealing with code files, and generally much quicker when working locally, allows for &quot;offline&quot; working, etc. and solves the problem of people working on different parts of the same file or project simultaneously, so most of the free options (GitHub, GitLab, etc.) focus on that. You might be able to use the free options within [Azure DevOps][2] to create a TFS based project, or find another SVN host for your project. Most of these also offer &quot;Work Item&quot; tracking for task planning and management.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of the current software for building your MoC, the likely contenders are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. **Stud.io** - [uses a binary (.zip) format][3]. This doesn't play well in Git. Furthermore it's a password protected archive, so you can't easily extract the underlying .ldr files.&#xD;&#xA; 2. **LDraw** - uses a [text based format][4]. Potentially a better fit for Git, however the format itself would be very easy to mess up in merges if two people work on the same model files at the same time.&#xD;&#xA; 3. **LEGO Digital Designer** - uses a [text (XML) based format][5]. Potentially a good fit for Git. While XML can get messed up in merges, it's usually easier to see in merge tools where the changes should belong, and so easier to correct/adjust if two people work on the same model file. However, this is likely end-of-life now, especially with the [announced purchase of BrickLink by The LEGO Group][6].  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; **What about Studio and LEGO Digital Designer – what will happen with the&#xD;&#xA;two digital building experiences since they’re quite similar?**  &#xD;&#xA;The LEGO Group is planning to support and evolve Studio and will review opportunities&#xD;&#xA;for both services following the closing of the deal.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://trello.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://dev.azure.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://rebrickable.com/help/guide-to-stud-io/&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://www.ldraw.org/article/218.html&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/4391/56&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1167349" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I have a LEGO sculpture in mind that would fit the idea of the contest, but it would have to be shipped to the jurors. The contest itself is not about LEGO at all, so I have no idea how they will react to a LEGO set. I just want to use it as a medium to convey my message.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The sculpture would be a diorama with a small figure (not a minifig) and some larger figures. The basic question is: How can the sculpture be delivered to the contest in one piece? I can think of some options:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. **Glue**: Since the figures would stand in the diorama, the glueing area would be quite small, breaking is likely to happen.&#xD;&#xA; 2. **Sturdy build**, use Technic connections: Having the figures attached to the sculpture with lift arms would look weird and would probably decrease artistic value.&#xD;&#xA; 3. **Partly disassemble** the sculpture and give instructions for final assembly to the contest committee.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Number 3 is my favourite solution. However, is it acceptable for a contest to deliver a partly assembled sculpture?? I would wrap each figure separately and deliver also photographs/descriptions of the final arrangement. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Do you have experience with shipping sculptures and contests? What is the most feasible approach? Are there other considerations?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; **EDIT:** After Mołot's comment I contacted the contest committee.

I am interested more in a catalog of models (for inspiration) that do not require me buying a specific set or making a specific order to the LEGO shop.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I found this book: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0756686067/geekdad0b-20&#xD;&#xA; but I am wondering if a free resource exists somewhere ?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**UPDATE:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have just read this review of the book I linked above, apparently, it also suffers from the problem of requiring too many non-standard pieces:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; We thought this book would be great since my 5-year-old is just&#xD;&#xA;&gt; getting into LEGO bricks. Opened it up and realized that every project in&#xD;&#xA;&gt; this book looks like it requires non-standard, specialty LEGO kit&#xD;&#xA;&gt; pieces- and lots of them. I didn't see any projects in this book that&#xD;&#xA;&gt; you could build using standard LEGO pieces. Returned the book the next&#xD;&#xA;&gt; day." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I haven't really used Lego before - my friend asked me to consult him about projects (I use microcontrollers and build robots from material I find in my garage).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Two track tank with a distance sensor to create a map of a room. A gyroscope sensor to measure the angle of slope would also be very useful. It would use fuzzy-logic, A* algorithm and OpenCV if I decide to put a web camera on top of the tank.&#xD;&#xA;2. Inverted pendulum (PID controller). It needs an encoder and a rather high speed motor which can change it's direction of rotation.&#xD;&#xA;3. Some crawler (like a snake or spider) - models with holonomic constraints.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now I'm considering the EV3 basic educational kit and I think it doesn't fit my needs. I also can't understand some things about software - if I buy a kit for home use, I suppose I shouldn't buy any software.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Questions&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Which kit would be the best fit? Maybe two kits or even three?&#xD;&#xA;2. Is the servo limited in rotation or can it be used as a simple electric motor? If no, then which motor can be?&#xD;&#xA;3. Can I program the models using free software (downloaded from a website)? C or Java is preferable. NXC is nice too (it looks like C, but I haven't used it before).&#xD;&#xA;4. How to remote control the robots? Should I buy additional Wi-Fi adapters? " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Furthermore, as [Eran](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/users/11012/eran) perceived in the [comments](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/12927/how-many-lego-bricks-exists-total#comment15236_12927), LEGO bricks eventually disintegrate or become unidentifiable as LEGO; therefore, even if there were documentation of exactly how many bricks were produced up to any given time, it would still be infeasible to establish how many LEGO bricks exist because it would be extraordinary difficult to ascertain which individual LEGO bricks are currently in existence."

Just cover over the permanent marker with a dry erase marker then wipe it off. [yes it works][1].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Aerosol hairspray, body spray, Rubbing alcohol (Isopropyl alcohol), etc. Like [JohnnyB][2] suggested alcohol is a good cleaner for permanent marker, especially on plastic. Just be careful of the printing any alcohol biased cleaner can and will remove the printing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Nail polish remover. Be *very* careful with this one, nail polish remover's active ingredient is acetone. Acetone with enough time will dissolve ABS (and rubber tires very quickly) but long before that happens it will remove the printing :( I'd only try acetone as a last resort. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Toothpaste I'd recommend skipping this social media craze, [it may work][3] ([on lego][4]) but there are better ways.

Here's why a manufacturer would try to reduce the number of colours they used, particularly in the old days.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Most resin (the raw material) nowadays comes pre-coloured, especially for a large customer like Lego. That wasn't the case fifty or sixty years ago: we used to get white resin and colour it with powdered pigment. This operation would have to be repeated for each batch of each colour, a batch being (in the old days) a cement mixer's worth of resin. Between colours you would need to clean the mixer out thoroughly, because a small amount of the wrong pigment could contaminate many pieces. The contamination would be hard to see: try examining 1,000 pieces for a small swirl of the wrong colour!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the colour of a moulded piece was off we would have to re-grind it, add more pigment / plain resin and re-mould it. We couldn't do that for pieces of different colours, or for badly contaminated pieces. We had the advantage of manufacturing some products in black that would hide most discolourations, so we would reserve contaminated material for those.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Moulding machines used to have a hopper above the machine, and the coloured resin would literally be carried up a ladder and poured inside. To switch between colours we would generally run the hopper until it was almost empty, possibly add some plain or disposable reground material to &quot;purge&quot; it, and then add the new material. A certain amount of pieces would necessarily be contaminated by the old colour, which meant that changing colours for small batches could be quite wasteful. Nowadays we have vacuum feeders instead of large hoppers. We still have the problem of colour contamination, but this has been reduced by better mould design.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Speaking of moulds, older moulds used to convey the plastic down a channel to the moulds for the individual pieces. When the mould emptied the channels, called sprues, would separate or be sepaarated from the puieces and reground. There would invariably be a certain amount of this material left at the end of a job, and it could be a pain keeping track of it for next time.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When you add these costs in time/quality together it's easy to see that (keeping the total number of pieces constant) adding extra colours rapidly increases your overheads. It isn't just the fixed cost of changeover and storage, but the potential for things going wrong. I think this would have given Lego a good reason to reduce the number of colours they used, particularly when the firm was smaller and technology wasn't as advanced." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

()&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the Wikipedia entry, it is stated that &quot;Annual production of Lego bricks averages approximately 36 billion,&quot; but that statement does not have a citation, so I don't know where it came from or when it was referring to.

Perfect for making *LEGO MOCs*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I use the *PS* squares created in two main ways: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - 1) ***Top View*** pixel creation - Where the scale is a perfect 1:1.&#xD;&#xA; - 2) ***Side View*** pixel creation - Where two 1x1 plates stacked on top each&#xD;&#xA;   other, almost equaling a *PS* square.&#xD;&#xA;  &#xD;&#xA; Note: A 2x2 plate stacked on a 2x2 brick makes a nice a square also,&#xD;&#xA;   but this will increase the size of our creation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Well, anyway, the magnifying function is clearly not intended to brick out an outline, but it works well here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm sure there are many other methods within and outside this specific graphic program to aid us in our build.  *PS* does has a pixelation filter, and outside the program there are *LEGO* mosaic makers, but this interesting quirk breaks a solid image into pieces, where with minimum time and effort, a more precise stud length can be quickly counted out.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Speaking of counting, it will also help to know your *LEGO Math* here.

It was later used as a standalone piece in official sets before being replaced with a new design.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- The iconic [brick separator][5] is not intended as a regular LEGO piece, but has a whole class of MOCs based on it.

I tested everything before joining the front axle and rear axle, and the friction was quite low, not nearly high enough to get gears to skip or practically stall an PF XL motor.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When I joined the two halves, the lower gears worked just fine, but there was slightly more friction generated than I expected. However, on the higher gears (3/lo and above) the friction increased way more than expected, rendering 4th/lo somewhat unusable and 4th/hi completely unusable. Strangely, all the gears work flawlessly if the car is pushed backward. Also, the rotation of the output of both the 4-speed and the 2-speed transmissions is uneven, the output of the 4-speed transmission being way more uneven than that of the 2-speed transmission.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The friction certainly is not the sum of the front and rear axles together, it is far more. Also, it is worth noting that I modified the 3:1 gear ratio between the axles and central differential to a 1.667:1 ratio, as with the 3:1 ratio the problem was way worse, but not because of the gear ratio, but because both of the U-joints were out of phase. Any explanation for this strange behavior or tips on how to fix it are welcome.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;10/10/19 update: I watched RacingBrick's video on this subject, and it turned out that PART of the problem was that my U-joints were out of phase. I fixed that problem and it is working a lot better, but the problem still persists, although to a lesser extent.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;10/11/19 update: I switched the 1.667:1 ratio for the 3:1 ratio while making sure that the U-joints were in phase. The unevenness issue is virtually gone, but the skipping of gears still persists, but to a lesser extent. I can post another YouTube video if it helps.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;10/11/19 update 2: I added bag 3 and both of the problems are back, though somewhat different. Before, the gears started skipping immediately, but now it works just fine for the first 5 to 10 feet, then starts to skip. I checked the U-joints and they're in phase.

Just cover over the permanent marker with a dry erase marker then wipe it off. [yes it works][1].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Aerosol hairspray, body spray, Rubbing alcohol (Isopropyl alcohol), etc. Like [JohnnyB][2] suggested alcohol is a good cleaner for permanent marker, especially on plastic. Just be careful of the printing any alcohol biased cleaner can and will remove the printing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Nail polish remover. Be *very* careful with this one, nail polish remover's active ingredient is acetone. Acetone with enough time will dissolve ABS (and rubber tires very quickly) but long before that happens it will remove the printing :( I'd only try acetone as a last resort. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Toothpaste I'd recommend skipping this social media craze, [it may work][3] ([on lego][4]) but there are better ways.

I usually won't count Doctor Octopus as one, though. But I'll count it this time. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The very first minifigure to be able to hold more than 2 tools is Doctor Octopus, from the &quot;Spider-Man&quot; theme from 2003. This was achieved by building a harness that goes on the neck. This version appeared in 3 sets, all in different variants. It should also be noted he received a 4+ figure version, which is aimed to kids 4 and above. This version is not exactly a &quot;minifigure&quot;. His tentacle harness is built into the figure, and is not removable. This one was released in 2 sets. 2012 brings another Doc Ock, based on the Ultimate Spiderman TV show, using a similar trick as the 2003 version. This minifigure only appear in one limited edition set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The next multi-armed minifigure is General Grievous from the &quot;Star Wars&quot; theme, hailing from the 2005 &quot;Revenge of the Sith&quot; subtheme. He was made out of a specialized head and torso; however, his legs and arms are common droid parts, with 4 of these arms attached to the special torso. This version appears in 2 sets, though one is more highly sought after due to Grievous having an exclusive cape in that one. Both versions came with his iconic lightsabers, but his arm posability are rather limited; they only move sideways, and their wrists don't hinge. Grievous gets a re-release in 2010 as part of the Clone Wars subtheme. This was, accuracy wise, a major leap. He was composed completely out of exclusive pieces. Now his arms hinge up and down, but like a lot of other LEGO robots, his wrists still don't turn. Also, his second pair of arms attach to the first pair, giving a rather awkward looking angle and less posability. This version appears in 2 sets, though the second would only be released in 2012.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Next, we have Frenzy. Frenzy is a Space Police Minifigure released in 2009. He was a large step forward to the original Grievous. He had a special molded head that goes over his regular, albeit uniquely printed, Minifigure torso. This extra head has a twist: it has room to accommodate a pair of droid arms, giving him 4 arms, although the upper two has little use, since their grip is permanently sideways. Still, it's a step up. Frenzy only appears in one set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2011 brings about Samukai, the former king of the underworld of the Ninjago theme. Samukai is similar to the other skeleton soldiers, but with a massive head that, like Frenzy, fits over his torso and has room for arms. As an addition though, his upper jaw and lower jaw is separate, so he can open his mouth. His head is designed so it can snugly accommodate a second row of skeleton arms. Samukai's top-heavy stature caused by his head prevents him from getting his own spinner, thus making Samukai only appear in 2, very large Ninjago sets from 2011.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In 2012, Garmadon, Ninjago's antagonist, becomes four-armed through less-than-known means. He is the one I truly consider the &quot;first&quot; four armed minifigure. He had a specialized body extension piece that goes over his torso, which is the same as the one in 2011, and a head that goes on that torso extension. He appears in 2 sets, both following suit as Samukai, in the sense that it appears in 2 very large sets. 2013 has a very similar Garmadon, except for a different helmet and staff. This variant appears in 1 set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another Minifigure is four armed in 2013, and once again it is from Ninjago. He is General Kozu, general of the stone army. He also utilizes a torso extension like Garmadon, but a different mold. Like a lot of characters in the 2013 Ninjago wave, he is exclusive to 1 set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Last, but certainly not least, is another Star Wars minifigure named Pong Krell. He uses a similar torso extension as Garmadon or Kozu, but his alien head was incorporated to the extension. He carries his iconic twin double sided lightsabers, and, like many Star Wars figures, is exclusive to one set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I know this answer is pretty long, but it's very comprehensive. Please edit it if I miss something, or I wrote something wrongly. Bear in mind that all this minifigures can hold conventional minifigure tools.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;             &#xD;&#xA;             &#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

When you're done you have a bunch of empty containers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The advantage to the 2nd way is that you don't have to spend any time categorizing and sorting parts. You just grab what you need.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only practical advantage to knolling is that you can easily see where parts are, and grab the appropriate ones. You can even count them and compare against the set's inventory to see if any are missing. However, you can achieve the sorting goal without knolling, but rather just by separating the parts by type and colour. This is faster, because you don't waste time fastidiously placing things at right angles.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For most Lego kits, I'd argue that even sorting the parts is a waste of time, because the parts are generally not randomly placed in bags. Even if the kit doesn't have numbered bags for different stages of the build, the pieces are not randomly distributed between bags and so you can still easily find things. (If someone else is sorting for you as you build, THAT can save time, but it requires two people, and thus doesn't really save time overall).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When building from your collection, if your collection is sorted (as mine is), knolling or otherwise arranging parts is a big waste of time. It's fastest if each bin of your collection has one type and colour of part and the bin is large enough to hold the pieces loosely. If (as I do) you run out of space for loose parts, you can save space by attaching the pieces together, or fitting them in tightly like a puzzle. This takes an enormous amount of time and, furthermore, wastes time later when you take the parts out to build. The only reason I put up with it is that I don't have unlimited budget and storage space to buy the bins I use for storage.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;TL,DR: knolling is organization taken to extremes. It's based on aesthetic principles and not efficiency. What efficiency it gains can be had for lower cost by simpler organization methods. If you enjoy knolling, go ahead, but it certainly isn't really _helping_. If you can't stop knolling, you might be OCD." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I have yet to learn of any single copycat company that would go through the legal and technical trouble required to mold these onto every stud of every piece in a consistent fashion.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the piece has no studs to check or the markings are present and you still have doubts you can take a suitably strong light and magnifying lens and look for a trademark or a 4-5 digit part ID. [This on the right side][1] is a very obviously visible example, others might be much smaller and better hidden. A missing ID would obviously indicate a fake piece. But even if it is present you can cross-check the existing LEGO piece databases to see if the part ID does indeed represent the part you have.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Should a bootleg company go to the lengths to correctly add all such markings, you can still take a  known genuine part of the same design and check for any differences in dimensions.

Well, let's open it up!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The back plate is held into place by 14 pins. We'll carefully pry it open with a knife. Alternatively, we could use a drill bit to slowly scrape off the pinheads. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Both methods are destructive**. The back plate needs to be **glued back on** later. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Once we can lift off the backplate, we already got the slider. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Next we'll unplug the switch. Let's take a pair of pliers and carefully -just a bit!- squeeze the peg, then push it out. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - *Yellow*: **The slider** is of a soft plastic. Notice the **oval hole with a nose**. When you move the slider this bit gets squeezed and then snaps into position. There's **two stops**, they have a figure 8 shape.&#xD;&#xA; - *Red*: At the end of the slider there's **a single tooth**. This tooth flicks&#xD;&#xA;   the switch.&#xD;&#xA; - *Green*: The switch has **a peg** and **a spring**. The spring has **two legs**. &#xD;&#xA; - **The tooth    is supposed to sit right between them.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What's next?&#xD;&#xA;------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So much for starters. Now, what about your points?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In any case, use some compressed air first. Switch them repeatedly. Maybe it's just a grain of dust. Still not functioning properly? Can you still return them?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Okay. Let's triple troubleshoot:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Is the slider stuck?**&#xD;&#xA; - **Can it move freely? Does it 'snap in'?**&#xD;&#xA; - **Does the spring have enough tension?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the slider's malfunctioning, you'd have to remove the back plate. However, if the spring's your suspect there's a less destructive way. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;How to access the peg only&#xD;&#xA;--------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - In theory, one could try to pry out the switch with a flat&#xD;&#xA;   screwdriver. I didn't dare it. Parts could warp, the peg could break&#xD;&#xA;   and I think LEGO did their best to prevent creative kids from doing&#xD;&#xA;   it.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;But take a look at the back plate. You can barely see it, but **there's a circle**. It's right **on top of the peg**.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I took a drill bit and started to slowly scratch off some of the plastic. Once the tip was through, I finished off the rest with a scalpel. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Take your time! The plastic is quite thin and the peg's right under it. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I could now easily access the peg with my pliers and push it out. I adjusted the spring and lined everything up. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;How to access the spring&#xD;&#xA;------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This might also work, but I don't recommend it. I gave it a try. It's way too fiddly. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Take a scalpel and cut a hole in the side of the switch. &#xD;&#xA;Now you can take a peek inside. See if the tooth is off-center. If so, try to lift the corresponding leg of the spring with a needle. Good luck. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/IGHrk.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/FoBe9.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/T0yR8.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/E1M0z.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

In this case, the brick still does not produce beep tones after roughly 1.7 seconds (starting from when the fopen() command finished). So it is not just a simple timeout if there is no data.&#xD;&#xA; - on the EV3 brick the Bluetooth connection is marked as &quot;connected&quot; until f.close() is executed or the python script has completed. The same connection status can be observed using bluetoothctl on Linux.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

It's hard to prove a negative, so while I list three reasons for this, none of them is a complete proof and all these could be false.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as I know the only Lego games to feature ghosts were either based on the Ghostbusters franchise, which uses different aesthetics, or had different ghosts (like that of Vitruvius, various characters from Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, or the characters Ghost Rider or Beetlejuice), which do not look like the ones featured on these stickers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Which leads to the second point: there is the computer screen in your picture, but a laptop is included as well with a similarly themed screen: ![image of the computer and laptop and from the set](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48487469596_e3a6a494f7_b.jpg) It would be strange to include a reference to the same thing twice in the same set, but if course it still does not prove anything.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The third point is much more intangible, being based more in the reason of meta-knowledge. When Lego designs a set like this, it is primarily meant to be played with. In this set, the focus is on catching ghosts, any Easter eggs are of secondary importance at best. But if the green ghost screen were a reference, that would make the other similar one a reference as well, resulting in a set with no screens dedicated to the primary play function. Which, of course, while highly unusual, would still not prove anything.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So these are the reasons for my conviction that these are not references to anything from the past but were created specifically for this set (or product line).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Or one might argue that the sticker is referencing the Lego Hidden Side application, but that would be stretching the definition of a reference, as the application is specifically designed to work with this set :)" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Basically all of them seem to be small ornaments like [minifigure plumes](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/search.page?q=plume&amp;brand=1000&amp;cat=636&amp;tab=P#T=P) and [other headgear accessories](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/search.page?q=with+pin&amp;brand=1000&amp;cat=636&amp;tab=P#T=P), including some [Friends accessories](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/search.page?q=with+pin&amp;brand=1000&amp;cat=771&amp;tab=P#T=P) like your bow.  And as far as I can tell, none of them are really suited for attaching further parts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Screwdrivers, as [suggested](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/13069) by Rin Rio-Oki, probably won't fit: the shaft is slightly too thick, as you can see in [this composite photo](https://i.stack.imgur.com/5pilS.jpg).  The tips of [flower stems](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3741&amp;name=Plant%20Flower%20Stem&amp;category=%5BPlant%5D#T=C) _might_ fit, but even if that worked, it'd just look totally ridiculous.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So you'll probably have to resort to some &quot;blasphemous&quot; methods.  In that respect, I see two options worth considering:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Filing the base of your unicorn horn down to about half of its original diameter, as [suggested](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/13073) by BlokeDownThePub, should let it fit into the hole.  It'll be tedious and fiddly work, and you could easily end up ruining the part entirely if you're not careful, but with practice it should be doable.  Of course, this also means that you won't be able to use the horn for its original purpose any more — although there are plenty of parts that should be able to make the connection in _that_ direction, like the [Round 1x1 with Bar and Pin Holder](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=20482&amp;name=Tile,%20Round%201%20x%201%20with%20Bar%20and%20Pin%20Holder&amp;category=%5BTile,%20Round%5D#T=C).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. You could glue the horn to a part that already has a suitable pin, as you yourself suggest.  While you _could_ use the bow you already have for this purpose, I'd suggest trying a [Star with Pin](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=93080f&amp;name=Friends%20Accessories%20Hair%20Decoration,%20Star%20with%20Pin&amp;category=%5BFriends%5D#T=C) accessory instead:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   [![LEGO part 93080f Friends Accessories Hair Decoration, Star with Pin (Bright Light Orange)][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   If the 3D models are anywhere near accurate, the base of the horn ought to just fit inside the star (although not all of it; it's too long).  Alas, it probably won't _stay_ in without glue, but at least it may _almost_ look like a legitimate connection.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/K65YQ.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/oogOj.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

This means this set has been taken apart, each part has been accounted and put accordingly into inventory of this set. It also contains [603 parts][2]. There's sticker sheet in set's inventory, but this is something LEGO does too, probably since Part tab on Brickset states it has [602 parts][3] (Brickset fetch data directly from LEGO, but sticker sheets are never included as a part). I'd like to note that set inventories are highly accurate on Bricklink as each web site member can submit change if there are errors (and this is done fairly often when inaccuracies are found). LEGO, sometimes, alter the model slightly and this is being noted with an alternative items inventory, like in the [following model][4]. With 42063 set there's no alternate inventory.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Counting all the parts used in each step of [official building instructions][5] got me 599 parts.

You must have made a mistake while calculating the parts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Alternatively, I could suggest to disassemble the model entirely, with all pieces removed and then assembled back together following the building instructions mentioned above.

Download and install [BrickStock][1]. This software has multiple&#xD;&#xA;    uses, however for this case we would explore just a single feature.&#xD;&#xA;     2. Once installed go to File &gt; Import &gt; BrickLink Set Inventory and filter by set number. Don't forget to select **All Items** in&#xD;&#xA;    Category list.&#xD;&#xA;     3. Now you need to select all parts (Ctrl+A) and set quantity of all parts to zero (right-click any item while all of them still selected&#xD;&#xA;    and Quantity &gt; Set &gt; 0)&#xD;&#xA;     4. Now you have a full list of parts within that particular set. Here is your main job to seek parts you have and mark their quantity accordingly within the list.&#xD;&#xA;     5. In the end you'll have a list of parts you actually have. For next step I suggest you to delete lines for Counter Parts (noted as&#xD;&#xA;    **CP** in first column) and, if you don't need to check against extra parts, remove lines with **+** in first column too.&#xD;&#xA;     6. Save your file and note its location.&#xD;&#xA;     7. Go to [Rebrickable][2] and login with your account.&#xD;&#xA;     8. Create custom list via My LEGO &gt; My Custom Lists menu &gt; &quot;Add new list&quot; button&#xD;&#xA;     9. Import your previously saved list you created with BrickStock software using &quot;Import/Delete Parts&quot; button into newly created custom&#xD;&#xA;    list.&#xD;&#xA;     10. Once completed, go to Sets &gt; Compare Sets menu within Rebrickable and choose you custom list on one side and a set you are checking against on the other.&#xD;&#xA;     11.

If you’re building a track with a bridge, we’d suggest using newer rails around the slope.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Their recommendation for using grey around the slope may be aimed at the motorised options so that the train isn't slipping in the build up to the ramp, or skidding at the bottom.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.lego.com/en-gb/service/help/products/themes-sets/duplo/duplo-train-track-compatibility-408100000007964" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

In each of his tests the brick failed, if I recall correctly, after ~7000-8000 iterations. There is no doubt that if you put your NXT into boot mode somewhere in the neighborhood of 8000 times your brick will no longer accept a new firmware download. You can test this yourself if you like using NXTTools undocumented iteration count switch and a brick running on an external power supply. Each iteration takes about 30 seconds so the test will run for ~67 hours. Of course, your brick could have a different lock bit lifespan than Flemming's bricks had. It is also worth pointing out that if you reflash or reset your NXT once a day 365 days a year it will probably take you almost 22 years to wear out your lock bits. If you do it 10 times a day, everyday, then your brick should last 2.2 years.&#xD;&#xA;  &#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://web.archive.org/web/20090224115834/http://forums.nxtasy.org/index.php?showtopic=1528" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I did closely follow the building instructions of course and I also checked that I use exactly the 43 chain links mentioned as well as aligned the chain in the direction depicted.

Where are you?&#xD;&#xA;   &#xD;&#xA;   [![enter image description here][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, just Look at it.  On the surface it looks like a build mistake that anyone of us could make, but seriously, after looking deeper, does anyone really think *LEGO* would approve this?  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, taken it in all together, these detail errors just wouldn't fly at *LEGO*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Conclusion*: The *6205* alternate build image is simply bogus, and should be ignored as an innocent mistake at *Bricklink* and *Brick Owl*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*But... That was some very impressive attention to detail, young Justan Ryan*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][5]][5] &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/CMZah.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Yc2Ij.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ilUYP.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/40v6N.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/vm8BS.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Any framing store will have these options available at multiple price points with trade offs such as glare or less glare, scratch resistant or scratch prone, and tint(green) or no tint.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; [Another option would be **sprays** - for example [Krylon UV Resistant Clear Coating Spray][2]] is made for use on artwork that is either outside or near windows. They offer the product in gloss and matte finish as well. Krylon is a very well respected brand, and I believe this will be the easiest and cheapest solution to the problem, albeit not necessarily the best.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Another spray on option would be Premier Imaging Products Print Shield. It is a lacquer based protective spray that is designed for inkjet prints. It also works on photo papers and canvas materials. They specify up to a 2x lightfastness increase, elimination of gloss differential, non yellowing formula, and a reduction in scuffing. The results have been tested by an independent lab (Wilhelm Research) to last up to 166 years with certain Epson papers and regular glass, and over 200 years with UV filtering glass.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://photo.stackexchange.com/a/14350/1014&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.krylon.com/products/uvresistant_clear/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

In the strictest sense, it means &quot;can be used in official LEGO sets&quot;, and in this case, this is definitely not legal, as the axle is not designed to bend that way, unlike the many various hinge and joint pieces.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the other hand, &quot;legal&quot; might mean &quot;does not cause damage to the pieces&quot;, and in this sense it is a borderline case, as you can see the end of the axle retaining its slightly bent shape, but it's nothing that couldn't be fixed with a little more force applied in the correct place and direction.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Whereas on the far end of the legality spectrum, the status of any technique or piece is subject of individual opinion or decision. You are certainly free to employ any combination of parts, use 3rd party parts, paint, glue or cut pieces to your heart's content and shouldn't fear any reprisal from the LEGO Police. Collections curated by others, events or competitions might (and often do) apply a restriction on at least a subset of these, so if you are not in the position to judge the legality, it's best to directly ask those who are.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT based on Michael's comment:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another criterion in the definition of legality is often &quot;can be easily taken apart by a child&quot;, which this design is clearly not."

As to actually locating the cause of the leakage, I have five main methods in mind:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Vision&#xD;&#xA;---------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The easiest and fastest way is to check all components for loose connections, punctures or cracks. In my experience, when pneumatic hoses are subjected to overpressure or excess mechanical stress, they usually fail by slipping off their connection points. So go over all your connections and ensure that all stiff tubes are pushed into the flexible hoses as far as they can go (4-5 mm at minimum, or about one &quot;arm&quot; of a [pneumatic T-joint][3]).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If that fails to reveal any problems, check the lenghts of the hoses for any punctures or hairline cracks, while the system is under pressure (as the cracks might close and seemingly disappear in the absence of a force that acts to open them from the inside).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Hearing&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It can be hard to hear the sound of air hissing out of a tiny hole, especially with a compressor running, but if you can find a way to remove the compressor from the setup, you could be able to spot the point of failure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ideas to remove the compressor:&#xD;&#xA; - Let it fill up a pneumatic tank, which is isolated from your system via a valve, then turn off the compressor and throw the pole of the valve open.&#xD;&#xA; - Add a long enough hose between your system and the compressor so that you can set up the compressor a bit of distance away.&#xD;&#xA; - Apply pressurized air to your system via some alternate means, like e.g. by blowing into a tube, or via an inflated balloon.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Feeling&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the hole is too small to see, the escaping air might still be felt on sensitive areas of skin, like fingertips or your cheeks. The hairs on the back of your hand might be helpful in amplifying the weak air movement into an observable feeling.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. Bubbles&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If all above methods have failed, you could consider submerging your system in water. Only do this, if you can remove ALL electronical components (motors, wires) to a safe distance, and only if your setup does not include pistons with metal shafts. After doing so, you only need to watch for the emerging bubbles to see where does air escape from. Note that your compressor pieces must remain above the waterline, or else they will try to pump water, which can damage your parts from the inside (or just stay there for a long time to come).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5. Deconstruction and reconstruction&#xD;&#xA;------------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the improbable case that even the submerging method has failed, you could deconstruct your system, inspect each part individually for their ability to produce/transport/direct/use pressure without loss, and then reassemble it with proven flawless parts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/7429/whats-the-maximum-pressure-one-airtank-can-withstand-and-how-to-tell-its-limit/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/6650/how-can-i-power-my-lego-pneumatic-engine/6652#6652&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://brickset.com/parts/design-4697" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

What makes your matter worse is that these two parts come from quite old set (OP mentioned 8466). Aged parts tend to have stronger clutch power than the newer parts. Even if these two parts were new they would be pretty hard to take apart. In this situation I think the only solution is taking sharp knife (like x-acto or utility knife) and gently go around the edge where two parts get together to try and make them go apart slightly. I would recommend using the edge of the blade, rather than the sharp point first. Don't try to disassemble them with one go, but rather do it gently around with your knife until you get some progress.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Alternatively, if parts cannot be disassembled, you have two more options:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1.

They share a common property compared to newer sets - brick clutch power in older sets is a lot stronger. And this is something of a common observation in AFOL community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Take Technic 8880 set for example. You can feel greater power is required to assemble and take apart Technic bricks compared to what would modern same parts needed. They are not damaged or bent, and still look the same as new part. I've also noticed, when handling the assembled model, you can hear many connection points squeak, which isn't a case with modern sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is known TLG made a change from pre-colored plastic pellets to &quot;base + colored dye&quot; used in production these days. Newer bricks have slightly different properties too, like they doesn't yellow as much as old ones. So obviously, some changes were made to plastic formula, but it ss still ABS plastic (question is about opaque colored bricks). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I wish to understand what's the reason behind this. &#xD;&#xA;  &#xD;&#xA; - Was the clutch power always like that for bricks of that era?&#xD;&#xA; - Is it because of chemical nature where some elements within ABS plastic mixture cause clutch power to change? &#xD;&#xA; - Maybe some physical nature like temperature or humidity causing plastic to degrade/shrink over time?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ideally I would like to see answers with facts, but keeping in mind TLG may be good at keeping their secrets I'm open to all the answers with some sort of proof of the statement."

If you'd just resell it, there would be advantages to completing it, but as there are not much demand for this set and all other offers are for new, unopened ones, I doubt yours (complete or incomplete, but opened nonetheless) would be competitive without price reduction.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you plan to use it as intended, the missing elements might prove invaluable, so in this case it would be recommended to get at least the baseplate and the cardboard.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, if it would just serve as a playset or a parts pack, then it does not make much sense to get any of the missing parts. The blue box might be a great all-purpose storage bin, but if you need one, you already can buy any brand on- or offline.

If you'll notice, each set has many unique identifiable pieces that just don't appear in the current six poly bags above. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only piece that comes close is that blue translucent piece in *BAG 06*, which sorta looks like the minidoll dress from *[Elena's Studio][2]*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't think it's this dress, but regardless if it were, the poly bags are still short critical pieces to solidly decide on this set.  In fact, we're short critical pieces to decide on any of the other 23 sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another point: We don't know how far back *Xinlexin* website goes when listing their knockoffs.  This could be a complete set before *GUDI* decided to list their wares digitally. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Conclusion: We could safely say that these 6 poly bags are not from any of *Xinlexin's* current line of 23 sets, but due to lack of documentation, we can't say that these pieces *do*, or *do not*, form a complete set. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.xinlexin.com/en/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.xinlexin.com/en/proView.asp?ID=237&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/CdTp5.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/wy8UN.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/bF0S0.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://www.xinlexin.com/en/m/prolist.asp?ClassID=3&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNGZo5gn_tc&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/5ahQl.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/5dpM2.png&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: http://www.xinlexin.com/en/Contact.asp" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

There is no direct replacement for this software and no way to automatically convert programs to any of the new software alternatives.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* At the end of November 2019, LEGO released a macOS version (English only) of their new programming software based on the Scratch programming language. This software is good for basic programming, but lacks advanced features like data logging, file access, brick-to-brick Bluetooth messaging, and 3rd party sensor support. [Home](https://www.lego.com/en-us/themes/mindstorms/downloads). [Education](https://education.lego.com/en-us/downloads/mindstorms-ev3/software).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* For users needing advanced features, the LEGO Education MicroPython for EV3 is the recommended solution. [Download](https://education.lego.com/en-us/support/mindstorms-ev3/python-for-ev3).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Info below is kept for historic record.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Updated LEGO announcement (September 2019)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;LEGO has made an [announcement][2] about a replacement software.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The current version of the EV3 Lab software is not compatible with the upcoming release of Apple’s operating system for Mac computers, called ‘Catalina’. We have therefore decided to replace the current EV3 Lab software and EV3 Programming App with a completely new app, called LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education EV3 Classroom. Featuring a coding language based on Scratch, EV3 Classroom will initially launch for macOS in November 2019 and in spring 2020 for iOS, Windows 10, Android and Chrome. EV3 Classroom will offer a consistent experience, features, and content across all devices. The first release of EV3 Classroom will be in US English, followed by the other 15 EV3 languages in spring 2020.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; To continue to enjoy an uninterrupted EV3 experience, we recommend that you upgrade to the new EV3 Classroom app before updating to the new OS version.

A lengthy Internet search has so far proved fruitless so I'm hoping for positive identification here.  Please excuse the quality of the photos that I'm going to try and upload.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Firstly it is perfectly LEGO compatible, same dimensions.  No tubes underneath and studs which resemble those of Technic beams. Baseplates have a crisscross pattern underneath and window elements with a couple of lugs to aid location.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Plastic seems slightly thinner than the real thing, less flexible, more brittle, tinny sound when chucked in a pile. Corners are rounder and side walls less flat.  There are numbers molded into the undersides of the bricks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've got a bag of several hundred pieces and would part with them if there turned out to be someone collecting them.  I've assumed they are probably not LEGO, unless very early examples but research so far suggests that isn't the case.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Brick selection][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![close-up][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/7whZt.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/miv98.jpg&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Baseplate underside 2020-03-14](https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZyOLn.jpg)" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Want to limit pieces to standard blocks, plates, and smooth tiles.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Suggestions, threads to review, links to solutions?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;PS: Sorry I couldn't post tags like: &quot;6x6x6 cube tiles smooth&quot;; suggestions welcome."

There is no metal axle that connects both back wheels like the axle design does for the front wheels, but I'm sure *LEGO* designed it that way.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, imagine the train's motor being in an &quot;ON&quot; state just a rolling.  Now enters a kid, just being a kid.  Grabs the thing, and starts a rolling in whichever direction kiddie wants to roll.  Not a caring that the motor is doing it's own thing too. How does *LEGO* protect the device from the free rolling madness of a child?  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, I think this slippage is a built in feature to kid proof protect the motor from being over torqued. Some type of reverse rocket booster dampening system.   Analogous maybe to a circuit breaker which, is an automatic device for stopping the flow of current in an electric circuit as a safety measure.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Possible solutions:** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**(01) Battery check.**&#xD;&#xA;You said it no longer can pull extra weight, and that it stalls even on flat normal gravity leveled curves? Huh? So, before we go too deep, I would recommend first replacing the batteries with new ones. Then, retest it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**(02) Balancing our time vs. the money justification check.**&#xD;&#xA;Tearing down the housing to get inner access to remove excess hair and debris from this unit is fairly easy, and just requires buying a *T9 Star Torque* from the local hardware store and maybe 15 mins of our time. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Even though this thing is *LEGO* engineered like a tank, we can still imagining extensive damage, let's say a smoosh over by car, where we'd need to replace the circuit board, motor, or destroyed plastic gears.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then, maybe it might be time to do [*a price check*][1] and consider purchasing a new/used unit versus the time to invest and produce a 3D printed replacement.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**(03) Axle wheel hub tear down (setup only).**&#xD;&#xA;I'm not taking mine apart, becasue I haven't justified a reason that works out for me, but this is my observational approach if anyone else wants to venture further into the unknown.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, let's look at the wheel design and note the similarities/differences between both wheel hubs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Break down wheel hub anatomy consists of *at least three* pieces.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1.

Possible notched out axle bar.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The inside hub pieces and in between trans-clear tire tread all look to be the same molds, where the outside hub pieces differ in aesthetic design, but function in the same way when interlocking with the inside hub piece.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's where things get dicey.  There seems to be six interlocking tabs that need to be simultaneously unhitched to separate the pieces without permanent damage.  Unless you happen to be a six clawed mutant named *Wolverine*, this will be a challenge.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Six interlocking tabs release damage free setup and approach:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Hot glue one end to work desk for stability.&#xD;&#xA; 2. Insert six flat head precision screwdrivers.&#xD;&#xA; 3. Wiggle until it's free.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Six interlocking tabs release egg breaking, omelette making approach:**&#xD;&#xA;Goal: 3D print a replacement, so permanent damage doesn't matter.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Using a *Dremel* rotary tool, carefully drill out 4 of the 6 interlocking tabs ONLY.  Don't go deep. We can 3D print plastic, but not the clear-trans rubber treading.&#xD;&#xA; 2. Insert two flat head precision screwdrivers to disengage the locking function of the 2 remaining tabs.&#xD;&#xA; 3. Using a digital caliper measure out the dimensions of the working 2 remaining tabs.&#xD;&#xA; 4. 3D print replacement piece.&#xD;&#xA; 5. Consider using some Loc-Tite glue adhesive when reassembling the&#xD;&#xA;    wheel hubs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=10874-1#T=S&amp;O=%7B%22iconly%22:0%7D&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/rAPew.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/RW50r.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/5NOJ3.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

So it's not some kind of a kid protection you really feel something is broken inside and that's why I wanted to know how to disassemble the wheel.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/11553/how-to-disassemble-lego-train-engine-base-part-28743&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/KZ6Sd.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I didn't think it was possible until I saw this video. A pure Lego solution would have to replace the flight controller, RF recveiver, and batteries with something like a Control+ Powered Up hub, which has a tilt sensor, bluetooth, and batteries, but is so much larger it would almost certainly be too heavy to fly, not to mention not well suited to the task of maintaining level flight for a drone (I doubt it's possible with a stock Powered Up solution to control motor power levels quickly enough in order to correct flight direction, but I've been wrong before)."

This model has steering, 4-cylinder engine, 3 speed transmission, adjustable seats, rear suspension, differential:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Second one is [8865 - Test Car][3] with steering, V4 engine, 3-speed transmission, adjustable seats, 4 wheel suspension, differential,&#xD;&#xA;retractable headlights:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Next is [8880 - Super Car][5] from 1994 with 4 wheel steering, V8 engine,&#xD;&#xA;4 speed synchronized transmission, 4 wheel independent suspension, 3 differentials, all wheel drive:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then [8448 - Super Street Sensation][7] from 1999 with steering, V8 engine, 5-speed synchronized transmission with reverse, suspension, differential:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][8]][8]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now moving forward to 21st century.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[8466 - 4 X 4 Off-Roader][9] is the first set from 2001 with steering, V8 engine, 5-speed synchronized transmission with reverse, suspension, 4 wheel drive:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][10]][10]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[42056 - Porsche 911 GT3 RS][11] from 2016 has steering, rear flat 6 engine, rear wheel drive, 4-speed synchronized with reverse and paddle shifting, suspension:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][12]][12]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[42048 - Race Kart][13] from 2016 is another, while small model, but still has 1 cylinder engine and 2-speed gearbox:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][14]][14]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[42083 - Bugatti Chiron][15] from 2018 comes with steering, rear W16 engine, 8-speed gearbox with paddle  shifting, suspension:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][16]][16]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And the latest addition - [42110 - Land Rover Defender][17] from 2019 with steering, in-line 6 engine, 4-speed sequential gearbox, suspension:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][18]][18]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**LEGO MOCs**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In case you are not limiting yourself to LEGO sets there is another option - MOCs produced by AFOLs. You can find them mostly on [Rebrickable][20]. There are a lot of creations based on real life vehicles with functions sometime (quite often for larger models) exceeding those you can find in LEGO sets. Not all of them are as sturdy as LEGO model, but that is a personal preference. Although all of them come with free/paid instructions. Here is an [example of MOCs in Technic theme][21].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;Features for sets from early days up to and including 8466 are sourced from [Technicopedia][19]. Here you can find animations and more details for each of those sets. Newer sets, sadly, have not been reviewed on Technicopedia. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.technicopedia.com/8860.html&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/D6VkU.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.technicopedia.com/8865.html&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/B9n9E.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://www.technicopedia.com/8880.html&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/TPGTj.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: http://www.technicopedia.com/8448.html&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/66Noi.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: http://www.technicopedia.com/8466.html&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/cbfig.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=42056-1&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/gItgl.png&#xD;&#xA;  [13]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=42048-1&#xD;&#xA;  [14]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/vjbP9.png&#xD;&#xA;  [15]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=42083-1&#xD;&#xA;  [16]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/rcg62.png&#xD;&#xA;  [17]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=42110-1&#xD;&#xA;  [18]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/lBXDO.png&#xD;&#xA;  [19]: http://technicopedia.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [20]: https://rebrickable.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [21]: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/?get_drill_downs=&amp;min_year=2000&amp;max_year=2020&amp;min_parts=0&amp;max_parts=5000&amp;q=&amp;top_theme=1&amp;inc_premium=on&amp;inc_free=on" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

These are either absent or have a note suggesting that piece cannot be bought this way (for example, PF/PU items). I remember linear actuators being in this grey area so I cannot tell if actuator you are interested in (even though I'm interested in new Technic elements I didn't pay much attention to this piece) was available for sale at any point. Missing/broken parts option, which is similar to B'n'P, on LEGO Service webpage actually has Large Actuator on the list and can be requested if your is broken or missing, obviously. So it may be possible that this item could be purchased on B'n'P after all. However this cannot be confirmed by the time of this answer as Bricks'n'Pieces is unavailable due to COVID-19. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you really need the piece - you already found it on secondary market. There is nothing really against using it as prices are often lower than LEGO B'n'P offers. Shipping is also quicker than LEGO could offer." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

There are couple of ways you could handle this situation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Power Functions**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In case you have a set which suggest using 8293 set for motorisation it is advised to source that particular set or elements of that set. While LEGO no longer sell 8293 set directly it is still possible to acquire this as set as New or Used on secondary market, like [BrickLink][1], [BrickOwl][2], Ebay, etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Depending on your LEGO collection you may already have some of the individual parts included in 8293 set since they are not unique and have been available in other sets too. Here you can to [buy just the parts you need][3]. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Powered UP**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;LEGO has decided to discontinue PF system to make a way for newer one called Powered UP. Sadly, at this point of time new system doesn't have have a similar supplemental set to motorise sets. This means required parts need to be sourced individually.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another issue with PU system - it is not 1:1 copy of old system in terms of element dimensions and properties. But let's review contents of 8293 set and see what PU system could offer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;8293 set contains 4 items of PF system (below) used to bring models alive. I'm going to dismiss non-PF items as these would need to be acquired individually anyway if PU parts are going to be used.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [Battery Box][4]. PF system use standalone battery box, where power to motors is applied directly by using switch on a box itself compared to 88009 PU Hub ([LEGO][5], [Bricklink][6]) (which is both Battery Box and Receiver) which will only provide power once signaled from 88010 Controller ([LEGO][7], [Bricklink][8]) or smart device via Bluetooth. Next thing is the different form-factor - PU Hub comes in different shape and size (similar to [PF small Battery Box][9]), which means it may not fit the originally intended place within a model designed for 8293 set.&#xD;&#xA; - [M-motor][10]. Luckily, new 45303 M-Motor ([LEGO][11], [Bricklink][12]) is very similar to previously used PF M-motor. Not the same, but most won't be an issue.&#xD;&#xA; - [Pole Reverser / Polarity Switch][13]. This item does not exist as PU element.&#xD;&#xA; - [Lights][14]. Similarly to PF Lights, newer 88005 PU Lights ([LEGO][15], [Bricklink][16]) should work fine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As seen above, newer elements have quite a different properties and may not fit sets originally designed for 8293 motorisation without substantial modifications or currently offer nothing as a replacement (like a Pole Reverser / Polarity Switch).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is also worth mentioning that PU system has new connector, so none of the previously released motors/electric components incorporated into new system.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=77782#T=P&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://www.brickowl.com/catalog/lego-lego-power-functions-motor-set-8293&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=8293-1&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=59510c01&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/hub-88009&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=88009-1&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/remote-control-88010&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=88010-1&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=87513c01&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=58120c01&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/simple-medium-linear-motor-45303&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=141758#T=P&#xD;&#xA;  [13]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=bb0339c01&#xD;&#xA;  [14]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=61930c01&#xD;&#xA;  [15]: https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/light-88005&#xD;&#xA;  [16]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=88005-1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Text="I am still waiting for the bricklink delivery with 27448 tiles that Alex suggested in one comment of his answer. Therefore, I tried a less subtle solution:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is the starting point: A DUPLO pig that needs to be put directly on LEGO pieces.&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I decided to cut a DUPLO piece to regular LEGO size. A DUPLO 2x2 brick was converted to a ...&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;... 4x4 tile, modified, with 2x2 DUPLO studs. My methods were crude (metal saw and cutter), but it worked quite well. There is only little height difference to the surrounding LEGO plates, and the clutch power is really good:&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is an approximation of the final goal to use the DUPLO pig as a figurehead in a LEGO MOC/MOD:&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Edit:** The 27448 tiles finally arrived, but there was no way I could get clutch power. I measured 9.3 mm for the diameter of the tile ring, and 9.4 mm for the DUPLO stud. This difference is enough to loose any clutch power. Even with 4 tiles combined there was no binding strength at all. Other DUPLO animals showed same results. A DUPLO human figure, however, could at least have a little bit of bonding when the ring is pushed into the toe area.&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][7]][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/EgaKk.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/54ImR.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/5Vrc7.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/DngRN.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/goFDN.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/KRYPR.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/xV3lF.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Corners are rather round and the side walls aren't as flat as modern Lego bricks. There are numbers molded into the undersides of the bricks, possibly factory codes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've got a bag of several hundred pieces and would part with them if there turned out to be someone collecting them. I've assumed they are probably not made by LEGO unless very early examples but research so far suggests that isn't the case.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Brick selection][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![close-up][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/7whZt.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/miv98.jpg&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Baseplate underside 2020-03-14](https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZyOLn.jpg)" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Duplo and Juniors use printed parts too as these are targeted for young kids.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Licensed sets usually have stickers though. This may be related to the fact that LEGO treats licensed set a little different, where you cannot buy extra item in B'n'P or get a replacement of specific license related item. So it is better having it unprinted and have an option to replace/acquire a part.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Printed elements also limit their practical use (re-use). Stickers give you choice of applying them or not, while printed parts is there forever&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;. Good example is 42096 Porsche 911 RSR. It has white wheel arches/fenders with unique print for each of 4 included pieces. Non-printed counter part doesn't exist in this color yet, so these may not fit your MOC.

Text="I think it depends on series, if set is licensed as well as targeting audience. Sometime printed parts are used in a place where sticker would be hard to apply.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Architecture series, is a good example where stickers are not used since series are advertised as premium product. Duplo and Juniors use printed parts too as these are targeted for young kids.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Licensed sets usually have stickers though. This may be related to the fact that LEGO treats licensed set a little different, where you cannot buy extra item in B'n'P or get a replacement of specific license related item. So it is better having it unprinted and have an option to replace/acquire a part.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Printed elements also limit their practical use (re-use). Stickers give you choice of applying them or not, while printed parts are there forever&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;. Good example is 42096 Porsche 911 RSR. It has white wheel arches/fenders with unique print for each of 4 included pieces. Non-printed counter part doesn't exist in this color yet, so these may not fit your MOC. The rest of the Technic Panels have stickers. This leaves a lot of room for using them in other creations (if sticker are not applied).

Many parts are easy to get on Bricklink, but some parts are either missing or too expensive to buy for the little aesthetic value they bring.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rubber bands. They've been with LEGO since 1969. They have the tendency to snap, they love to get lost and with age start to crumble (or is it just mine?) If you want to reassemble decade-old sets you probably have to look for replacements. I can see two ways to go:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Buy it on Bricklink if the type-color combination is still used in new sets (say [Blue x37](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=x37#T=S&amp;C=7&amp;O={%22color%22:%227%22,%22ss%22:%22PL%22,%22iconly%22:0}) or you're fine paying a lot for the part or the shipping [Bright-green x37](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=x37&amp;O={%22color%22:7,%22ss%22:%22PL%22,%22iconly%22:0}#T=S&amp;C=36&amp;O={%22color%22:36,%22ss%22:%22PL%22,%22iconly%22:0}) was last seen in [2007](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=7691-1#T=S&amp;O={%22ss%22:%22PL%22,%22iconly%22:0})).&#xD;&#xA; - Look for alternatives.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Call me stingy, but if I can get bootleg all-rubber-bands-I-ever-need for $1 versus a single rubber band from Brazil for a total of $11 I will go for the former. But are there any tricks to it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Is there any company/shop that sells rubber bands with the same/similar sizes, colors, shapes and strengths?&#xD;&#xA;2.

By doing this you learn all kinds of ways to put the parts together to make functional models. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I bought a Lego Mindstorms (v2)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Assuming that by v2 you mean an NXT 2.0, if I remember correctly, there is an instruction manual with instructions for a simple wheeled/tracked vehicle, and several other robots are included in the software. Pick one (or all of them!) and start building! You'll notice that there really aren't that many different types of parts:  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Beams are the main structural component of the model. Pins and axles connect to them.&#xD;&#xA; - [Pins][1] connect beams together. They come in several shapes for different situations.&#xD;&#xA; - Axles rotate smoothly and support the wheels, motors, and gears. They can also be used as long pins. Use [bushings][2] or [half-bushings][3] to prevent axles from sliding out of their beam holes.&#xD;&#xA; - [Connectors][4] like this one allow you to attach beams and other parts at an angle to each other. These [big pins][5] are excellent for 90-degree angles.&#xD;&#xA; - Gears transfer/multiply torque. See [this guide][6] on gears.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For a simple wheeled/tracked robot, the basic design process is:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Build a sturdy chassis for the robot out of beams. Usually this frame is built around the motors. Since the motors are kinda weirdly shaped, consult other robots' instructions for tips on how to position them and attach them to beams.&#xD;&#xA; - Attach wheels to the motors using axles and bushings. You can change how fast the wheels move using programming or gears.&#xD;&#xA; - Attach the NXT to the top of the robot, so build up some structure from the frame to support it.&#xD;&#xA; - Wire the motors to the NXT outputs (A, B, and C), plug the thing into your computer, start programming.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But all of this becomes more apparent and obvious after you've built a few robots from the instructions. Again, pay special attention to how beams are connected to each other to form a chassis, how the motors are mounted, and how different parts of the robot can be reinforced.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=2780&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3713&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4265c&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=6536&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=55615&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://sariel.pl/2009/09/gears-tutorial/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

These could bend or deform but still be gripping with [Technic plates with toothed ends][1] as well as [toothed pin axle connectors][2] (which I think was the primary reason teeth existed on half bushes at first).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;First two versions seem to be quite weak since they tend to crack quite often. Especially with aging, when clutch strength increases ([perhaps parts shrink a little over time?][3]). Don't know the reason behind designing version **B**, but it looks like the issue with cracking was observed and TLG tried to remediate this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for version **C**, I cannot really tell if supplemental sets released in 1993 really had this version included. It looks like the actual year **C** version was used is 1997, being part of several sets. You'll also notice this is also the year modern Technic connectors (like [32016][4]) were introduced. These new connectors have the same angles you could construct from toothed pin axle connectors with busing of **A** or **B** type and are much stronger. Due to this there's no need for half-bushing to have teeth, thus it can have a little more plastic to make it stronger. In fact, I cannot really remember if any of modern 1/2 bushing I have got cracked or broken.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As seen on this picture from [Rebrickable][5] **C** version (represented here as 32123a and 32123b) had minor mould change over its production as well.

I don't know how could this be accomplished using LEGO pieces, but I wouldn't say it's impossible to do. However, you could mark the two important locations (the green box and the center) to have an easy way to tell if you're at them.&#xD;&#xA; - **Orientation** Your robot should also know which direction is it facing. Most of the above methods offer a way to calculate this, but you could also use a compass sensor.&#xD;&#xA; - **Knowledge of the environment** Your robot should know if there is an obstacle in its way. The random obstacles are by definition impossible to know in advance, so you'll need to detect them somehow.&#xD;&#xA;  - You could use the aforementioned ultrasonic sonar if the obstacles provide a good enough acho.&#xD;&#xA;  - If the obstacles are made of a suitable material, you could try to use a color sensor to see if there is one in front of the robot&#xD;&#xA;  - In theory, you could try to measure the resistance of the motors when you try to drive into an obstacle but this might prove impossible, depending on the capabilities of the hardware and software you are using. This method also makes it impossible to use the incremental location method.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Given these problems in my opinion your best bet would be a simpler, more brute force approach.

As of now, I had an idea to use the touch and IRLink NXT sensors to make the system work. When a train approaches the station it will somehow hit the touch sensor. Then the IRLink sensor will send a signal to the IR receiver stopping the train inside the station. Then after 30 seconds, the IRLink sensor will send another signal to the IR receiver which starts the train. This will be continuous as the train track setup, as of now, is in a loop connecting both ends of the train station. I would also apply the same system on the opposing tracks in the station.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Am I overlooking anything that might make this not work? Are there any better alternatives to the touch sensor? Does anybody have any ideas as to how to avoid a collision within the train station if two trains are approaching less than 30 seconds apart? And finally, are there any experienced NXT programmers that could give me some advice on the programming aspect of the system?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I like this system because the train does not need any positioning awareness on the track for it to stop within the station every time."

As the [brickfilms wiki](https://brickfilms.fandom.com/wiki/LEGO_Studios) describe this theme:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; LEGO Studios was a LEGO theme that focused on stop-motion animation and filmmaking. Sets in the line were released from 2000 to 2002. The flagship set, 1349 LEGO Studios Steven Spielberg MovieMaker Set, included a special LEGO webcam and proprietary software that included stop-motion capture, timeline editing, and sound recording and editing. LEGO Studios was instrumental in popularizing the hobby of brickfilming.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So despite the short life of this theme, many folks who probably never even owned any of the sets in this theme have seen the amazing results and added their own art to the genre.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Given how much you have from this theme already check out the other sets on [brickset](https://brickset.com/sets/theme-Studios) or [bricklink](https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?v=2&amp;pg=1&amp;catString=174&amp;catType=S) and see how many more parts you may have."

Feel free to suggest edits or post your own answer if you have better information.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Problems&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are five problems that need to be solved when looking for a replacement rubber band:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Diameter&#xD;&#xA;[![as][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;[(image source)][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is probably the easiest. There are a lot of rubber bands available in every corner of the Internet and for most cases you'll likely be okay with slight variation in size.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Height&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Height being how tall the band is when you lie it down - too tall and it won't fit on [bushes][3] or [wedge belts][4]. Sometimes seller will specify this dimension, if not you can always try asking.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Thickness&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For most intents and purposes thickness should not matter much, unless you're dealing with severely limited space which in my experience is rarely an issue with official sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Cross-section&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;LEGO rubber bands come in two cross-sections - square/rectangle and circle. While I've found countless square/rectangle rubber bands I'm yet to find a single seller who deals with round. Even on Aliexpress which is said to have everything available. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Unless you're lucky you'll have to manage with square ones.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Tensile strenght &amp; stretchability&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;LEGO sets rarely deal with forces sufficient to snap a rubber band, though how much energy is required to stretch it might be important. That's not an easily found information, so you have to deal with it by either contact the seller (or even better manufacturer), or buying different kinds and trying them out.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---- &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Solution&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Even though the question is about finding alternatives, your first line of action should be seeing if the official ones are available. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Check on Bricklink and other LEGO marketplaces if the specific rubber band you're looking for is available in an acceptable price. Just remember that rubber bands from very old sets even in mint condition can be weakened by old age.&#xD;&#xA;2. There is an official rubber band pack from LEGO (2000707-1) which can be fairly easily found but it's not cheap. There are likely other sets. Make sure to email LEGO customer support requesting they release new sets of rubber bands in different colors - the more emails they get the more likely they'll actually do something about it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the above are not acceptable options here is what I'd do:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Assemble the set that requires the rubber bands as much as you can. Use any bands you have at home to finish it.&#xD;&#xA;2. Determine what's the acceptable difference in size, strength, stretchability and color.&#xD;&#xA;3. Repeat the same process for all other sets you own that are missing bands.&#xD;&#xA;4. Shop online for bands that are the closest to your requirements. Amazon, EBay, local equivalents. Maybe you can find a local manufacturer or distributor - don't hesitate to contact them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/u5vgW.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/112647-rubber-band-sizes/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3713&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4185" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

The regulated motor retains a consistent speed, adjusting the power necessary to keep that speed, while the unregulated motor sends a constant power so the speed may change based on resistance.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There's a yellow block called &quot;Motor Rotation&quot; which has a setting to read something called the motor's &quot;Current Power&quot;. Instinctively, I figured that would tell me the power being sent to the motor, so if it was driving using the regulated drive block, I would expect to see a number that would go up when the motor encounters resistance and needs more power. (And the number would go down hypothetically if the bot was going downhill and needed less power to maintain speed).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But, in practice, the number returned from the read &quot;Current Power&quot; matched the speed number I sent to the regulated motor block, **and when resistance was applied, the number went down**. I tested this by having the number displayed on the screen, the number displayed matched the &quot;Current Power&quot; number shown in the live &quot;Port View&quot; in the Mindstorms computer app, both went down when the wheel slowed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Is there a way to read the real &quot;Current Power&quot;?&#xD;&#xA;Is there any other way to know when a motor is straining?"

It was designed for Windows 98, and then abandoned in favor of the NXT ecosystem.  Some people have gotten it to work on Windows XP, with some difficulty, but that's not exactly &quot;modern&quot; either.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So it seems that that software is effectively dead, unless you have a Windows 98 machine to run it on.  Physically or in a virtual machine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**BUT,** there is an independent programming environment called BricxCC, [which is available to download here](https://sourceforge.net/projects/bricxcc/files/bricxcc/bricxcc%203.3.8.9/), and [you can visit the home page here](http://bricxcc.sourceforge.net/).  The program itself runs just fine on my Windows 10 machine, but it still has some trouble with communication.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Lego USB tower, like the software, isn't very well supported on modern systems.  There's no official, modern driver for it.  &#xD;&#xA;But the serial tower is timeless!  You just have to have a serial port to run it.  &#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;(The serial &quot;driver&quot; is built into BricxCC itself just because of how serial ports work in general.  That's one of the few advantages of the old computing idea of having each application run the hardware directly.)&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So now we need to get a 9-pin serial port on a modern system.  Yes, Windows 10 still supports it...but it doesn't support all of the USB adapters that there ever were.  Same problem as the Lego USB tower: no driver.  So if you pull a USB to Serial Adapter out of the old-parts drawer, it may or may not work, no fault of the adapter.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can buy one that IS supported, or you can do like me and flip over to my Linux side (dual-booting is nice!), and see that the same adapter works just fine over there!  &#xD;&#xA;And then there's the problem of running BricxCC, which is only made for Windows, on Linux.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Fortunately for that, there's Wine!  &#xD;&#xA;Install Wine on Linux by the usual means, and then the BricxCC installer and application run in Wine as if it were Windows.  Not every program works like that, hence the bad reviews for Wine, but this one does, [as well as the LDraw tools](https://ldraw.org/).  &#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;(When the installers ask, I'd install everything, grab some lunch while it runs, and then poke around later to see what the entire package can do.)&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And a bit of housekeeping:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [You'll need to add yourself to the `dialout` group in Linux, to make the serial port available to you](https://askubuntu.com/a/210230/321777). (it was originally used for phone modems, and the terminology stuck, hence the name)&#xD;&#xA; - [You'll need to map a COM port in Wine so that a Windows application can use it](https://superuser.com/a/1471614/405089).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And now I have a fully-working RCX programming environment on a fully modern system!  &#xD;&#xA;([Lubuntu 20.04 LTS](https://lubuntu.me/))&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's text-based, similar to C, instead of the original drag-and-drop graphical thing that Lego had, but if you're going to advance much past this, you're going to use text-based languages anyway.  (C, Python, Java, etc.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It does have a template box that you can select from, so you don't have to &quot;just know&quot; what to type.  And the help file is pretty good too."

On the default program execution screen, the line underneath the Mindstorms logo sometimes has parts of it intentionally white-ed out so that it looks like *two* lines, but the shutdown screen always has one straight black line that never changes. So I decided to go with Plan B.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Plan B was to interfere with the display and make it look 100% like the real shutdown screen. I am a bit new to this, though, and there's one thing about displays that I still don't get. And that is how I'm supposed to have more than one item appear on the screen at a time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are the things I tried:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; • I put all the displays in an infinite loop block without any wait blocks, hoping that without wait blocks it will display the images at such a rate that it gives the illusion that they are actually being shown all at once, but instead it acted as if I **did** put tiny wait blocks here and there and the screen flickered, which is not what I want. What's stranger is that they came up in a lighter black than usual, kinda like the EV3 screen was physically dying.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;• I put each display block with one play block behind it and nothing else, but the result was that only one of the displays would show up.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's the current program, without any display tweaks (other than the completely blank screen). I doubt it will help, but I don't mind if you steal my code and claim it for yourself. It's also possible that **this code** is messing with the display, but again, I doubt it.

It moves back and measure it 3 more times, storing each measurement in a different array variable (in total there are 4 array variables). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I want to get the average value from the four array variable thus I use the 'read at index' mode of the array operations.&#xD;&#xA;[![The program][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It uses the loop index to get the index of the arrays.

However, as motor d will still retain the degree it has been turn, motor a will continue moving even after motor d has stopped(unless you turn back motor d). To counter this, you have to use the switch block and a bunch of compare blocks. You will have to make it so that if motor a's degree is the same or more than b's degree, the motor degree will reset. However, if I turn d counter clockwise, d's degree will be negative and the comparison(same or **more** than)will not work and it will keep spinning. Thus, I added another switch block that will compare motor a's degree and motor b's degree, this time resetting the motor's degree when it is a is equal to or **smaller** than d.  &#xD;&#xA;  &#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;  &#xD;&#xA;This way what ever rotation done to d will happen to a.  &#xD;&#xA;  &#xD;&#xA;Hope this helps you!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/8mcy3.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

They should be soft enough when applying force over a flat area as long as you don't hammer away like a madman. For additional protection **you could possibly also put a piece of cloth over the plates**. It's probably still more effective and lesss straining than using your hands to hammer or your thumbs to press.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In general though, it's also not a bad idea to try and **avoid sticking too many big plates onto each other**, as even if you get them pressed together really tightly, it can lead to bending of the entire model when done over a larger area, which is especially noticeable when having a flat ground stand that then...isn't flat anymore. Some of the &quot;thicker&quot; Architecture sets like Trafalgar Square or Robie House exhibit this problem. Try to thin it out when you can or use baseplates for the bottom layer, which are a lot more flexible in themselves." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Whether it’s their favourite film moments, sport icons, travel destinations, buildings, fairgrounds or vehicles, LEGO sets help to bring these to life in brick form. That’s also why we have decided to stop using the Creator Expert branding and, instead, use the new adult-focused packaging design to make it clearer which hobbies or brand products they can relate to.

LEGO has released new 10273 Haunted House set with a [press release][2] explaining why some new sets have &quot;18+&quot; marking.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Addressing the new packaging, Senior Marketing Manager Anders Hellegaard Iversen said: “So many of our older builders love the Creator Expert products, as they allow them to show off their passion for the bricks. Whether it’s their favourite film moments, sport icons, travel destinations, buildings, fairgrounds or vehicles, LEGO sets help to bring these to life in brick form. That’s also why we have decided to stop using the Creator Expert branding and, instead, use the new adult-focused packaging design to make it clearer which hobbies or brand products they can relate to. We hope this will make it easier for fans to track down models they would be proud to display once completed. Of course, our product range will continue to include the same advanced-build, collectible products that guarantee hours of building enjoyment for fans.”&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://brickset.com/sets/75277-1/Boba-Fett&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://www.lego.com/en-us/aboutus/news/2020/may/lego-haunted-house-2020" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Let's go!&#xA;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]&#xA;&#xA;As you can see, I tried to rebuild the crucial part of your framework. &#xA;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]&#xA;&#xA;Alright. Now two things I've noticed. You're using axles with stop. And there's some play between the bush and the wheel. &#xA;&#xA;Okay, firstly on axles with stop. &#xA;&#xA;[![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xA;&#xA;Here's two pairs of axles. The two axles with stop are on top, the bottom ones are without stop bit. See that the top ones don't touch each other? See the gap? That's because of the stop and the fact that the wheel has no counterbore. Can you spot the inner rim on the liftarm (blue arrow)? That's what the wheel lacks. &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;So what about it? Well, here's the problem. Let's take a yellow connector and make them one long axle. But, remember the gap between them? &#xA;&#xA;[![enter image description here][4]][4]&#xA;&#xA;Once you push them into the connector -all the way in till they 'hit the ground'- you will flex the red and yellow liftarms inwards. Maybe just a tad, but still. They will sure flex back, but because of the stop on the axle the wheel can't pop off. So the axle gets pulled out of the connector instead. &#xA;&#xA;Next about the connector. You chose a connector with a pinhole. This piece is three studs long. So your wheel is now off by one stud. And I think you've therefore adjusted the wheel. That's why we can see this play. &#xA;&#xA;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/IvTaq.jpg&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/kpmQW.jpg&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/qOj3t.jpg&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/gxvij.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

In planning my build, I ran into some difficulties or doubts determining the proper scale, specifically I was wondering what scale &quot;L-gauge&quot; models typically use.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you directly relate the LEGO [track geometry][2] to a real-life [standard gauge][3] track you end up with a scale of 1435mm/37.5mm ~ 1:38.27 - which is somewhat in line with the &quot;1:40&quot; [answer to a related question][4].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, per [this link][5], an ICE 2 is 3.07m wide, which would translate to just under 10 studs wide (9.59, to be exact). Alarmingly, this would also mean that each train car model would be over 2 feet long, which is most likely problematic even with third-party R108 or R120 tracks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the other hand, when using a smaller scale (e.g., 8 studs wide, roughly 1:48 scale), it becomes basically impossible to create a to-scale interior (e.g., you could only place two seats/minifigs next to each other).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Is there a &quot;standard&quot; scale for LEGO train models or some other best practice to solve this conundrum?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICE_2&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://l-gauge.org/wiki/index.php?title=Track_Geometry#Track_Geometry&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard-gauge_railway&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/540/is-there-a-standard-scale-for-building-minifig-scale-creations#answer-542&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://www.railfaneurope.net/ice/ice2.html" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Like, how do you decide if the LEGO track geometry should translate to standard gauge? Why not any [other track gauge][1] available in other countries? How do you scale the model if it originally use slightly wider gauge? So there's already some flexibility in how strict you should be considering the scale of your train based on the track gauge.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Next thing is to decide if you want your train to operate within your LEGO city layout or just for the looks? LEGO trains are built in 6-stud wide size. People tend to design their own trains in 6-, 7- and 8-stud width size. They look good in city layouts - not too big and do not cause any serious troubles operating even on LEGO tracks. And somewhat to scale. I've made 48 cm (1.5748 feet) long 8-stud wide scale model of a train loco myself. It could operate on standard LEGO train tracks. And yes, it looks a little ridiculous on curves, but still works. However this scale doesn't let you design detailed interior, so compromises must be made.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now if you prefer designing your train for the looks and operate it on some train layout (that could be made from LEGO compatible 3rd party elements) only from time to time you can go with whichever scale that fit your needs. It could be wider, longer, so train track geometry is the limit. As you mentioned your initial scaling suggested your train is going to be 2 feet long, which is less than half a foot longer than my model and you are not limiting yourself with just LEGO tracks, there shouldn't be a problem running your model on larger radius 3rd party (LEGO compatible) train tracks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is also worth mentioning some people use LEGO tracks as a narrow gauge. In such case train model, is obviously quite wide and it no longer fit into LEGO city (minifigure scale) layout. However there is plenty of space for details.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_gauge" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

And it just works and looks fine, even though the math is completely off the charts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For other examples, see how LEGO manages to translate the iconic Star Wars vehicles into the Microfighters line, or famous cars into the Speed Champions line. So I'd say it is more than possible to keep the design essence (and thus the recognizability) intact, while adjusting the proportions even to ridiculous ratios, as demanded by other constraints.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The radius of the curved track pieces and the speeds attainable by LEGO trains give completely insane results as well, when viewed as real-world engineering solutions, but in this medium, it is fine. Maybe it necessiatates widening the track gauge a bit compared to real trains (LEGO trains have their wheels almost in line with their sides), or lowering the center of gravity, but even if the physics win over the engineering, it is easy to reassemble the pieces after a crash :)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://brickset.com/sets/10233-1/Horizon-Express&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.railfaneurope.net/ice/ice2.html" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

On the default program execution screen, the line underneath the Mindstorms logo sometimes has parts of it intentionally white-ed out so that it looks like *two* lines, but the shutdown screen always has one straight black line that never changes. So I decided to go with Plan B.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Plan B was to interfere with the display and make it look 100% like the real shutdown screen. I am a bit new to this, though, and there's one thing about displays that I still don't get. And that is how I'm supposed to have more than one item appear on the screen at a time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are the things I tried:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; • I put all the displays in an infinite loop block without any wait blocks, hoping that without wait blocks it will display the images at such a rate that it gives the illusion that they are being shown all at once, but instead, it acted as if I **did** put tiny wait blocks here and there and the screen flickered, which is not what I want. What's stranger is that they came up in a lighter black than usual, kinda like the EV3 screen was physically dying.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;• I put each display block with one play block behind it and nothing else, but the result was that only one of the displays would show up.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's the current program, without any display tweaks (other than the completely blank screen). I doubt it will help, but I don't mind if you steal my code and claim it for yourself. It's also possible that the code is messing with the display, but again, I doubt it.

And while that has its place on the space station's stand, the official LEGO product page literally includes the statement &quot;dock the shuttle&quot; with a picture (that's also on the box) of the space shuttle approaching the front of the ISS model in order to dock. It seems to be a genuine &quot;play feature&quot;:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But I have no idea **how the shuttle is supposed to actually dock, i.e. how to fixate it onto the docking module in a stable and permanent way**, given that it has studs facing each other. Besides this picture there is no hint on how to do that and the instructions don't include guides for that either. I also thought maybe it's the other way around (although that would possibly contradict physical reality), but the bottom of the shuttle is covered in float tiles.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So is there a way to actually dock the space shuttle to the ISS? Is there an official build way that the instruction is just coy of mentioning? Does that possibly involve the hinged parts with the airlock prints on them that are right next to the supposed shuttle dock? Or are there any &quot;inofficial&quot; ideas on how to accomplish it, possibly involving additional parts?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;I know there are concerns about the space shuttle being a bit out of scale for the ISS when measured against reality and that a custom bigger shuttle might be more appropriate anyway.

At the end of the video, it makes the claim that the final gear will rotate once every 10^93 years. This seems unlikely to me; it seems much more likely that energy losses due to friction along the mass of gears will reduce the amount of energy it's receiving to 0, so it will never spin on it axis, at least as a result of this machine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, I'm left wondering where exactly this in the contraption energy is lost, and how much of it is lost to heat and how much is lost to noise.

First of all, it is interesting to see the various techniques they use. &#xA;&#xA;The short answer to your question would be: It doesn't matter. Each gear, axle and all other components bend, stretch and absorb energy. This means that even for normal large LEGO Technic sets, such as the 42055, you have to build carefully and avoid too much pressure to reduce friction.&#xA;&#xA;When it comes to Googol, it will take years to move most of the gears above their tolerance of, say, 0.1 mm. This is why they put the motor to the beginning of each section to show that it works in principle.&#xA;&#xA;So, starting the whole thing will increase tension and some eruptive movements of the gears in the middle will follow. But the gears further down the line will never move.&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Of course, this assumption is not 100% waterproof, as it does not consider cases when a minifigure torso has appeared without hands AND a pair of standalone hand parts were also used, but I'd accept this risk.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Analyzing the list of the 16123 sets, books and gear catalogued in Bricklink that contain at least one minifigure hand, **there are no sets** where the number of included minifigure hand parts would be larger than the **expected amount**.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This number is the sum of all the following:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - twice the number of the included minifigures&#xD;&#xA; - four times the number of four-handed minifigures (like Garmadon, General Kozu or [Rio Durant][1])&#xD;&#xA; - four times the number of monkeys&#xD;&#xA; - twice the number of standalone minifigure torsoes (like the masthead of the Black Seas Barracuda)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Minus one for each pirate captain, Ogel, [Baron von Barron][2] or any other one-handed figure of course.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some sets do appear to have more hands still, but that is because the number of hands is skewed by the inclusion of alternative figures, like in the case of [Shoot 'N Save (FC Bayern Promo Edition)][3], which allegedly contains 8 yellow hands, but only two minifigures (one of which is the goalie with black hands!), but the soccer player is included in four different variants. A similar thing is going on with [Red Bus][4], where all possible flag-sticker combinations are listed to arrive at the 50 yellow hands for 5 yellow-handed minifigures.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If there are any omissions, I apologize in advance and congratulate the finder :)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?M=sw0955&amp;name=Rio%20Durant&amp;category=%5BStar%20Wars%5D%5BStar%20Wars%20Solo%5D#T=S&amp;O=%7B%22iconly%22:0%7D&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?M=adv003&amp;name=Baron%20Von%20Barron%20with%20Pith%20Helmet&amp;category=%5BAdventurers%5D%5BDesert%5D#T=S&amp;O=%7B%22iconly%22:0%7D&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=3422-2&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=3407-1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Among lots of other (mainly yellow) bricks, it included a large yellow motor. By my recolleciton, the motor was 4 studs wide, 3 or 4 bricks high and I guess 8-12 studs long. If I recall right, it looked something like this from the side:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA; XXXXXXXXXX&#xD;&#xA;XXXXXXXXXXXX&#xD;&#xA; XXXXXXXXXX&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The motorised axle was coming out from the side(s). It was very similar to [this motor](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=bb0006#T=C), but in yellow.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It came with a black control box (most likely [this one](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=bb0045c03&amp;idColor=11#T=C&amp;C=11)) which contained the batteries and had a forward/off/backward lever. The control box and motor would be connected through normal [Technic power connectors](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=766c01&amp;idColor=9#T=C&amp;C=9).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There was no one primary thing to be built from the set (it was not e.g. &quot;a car set&quot;), the instruction booklet came with several different designs. I seem to remember that some of them were only shown as final images, not as step-by-step instructions, but I'm not too sure on that. One of the things shown as buildable from the set was some kind of factory or industry mill plant.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I tried searching BrickLink for such a yellow motor, but without success. I also looked through all the Technic sets there, also no luck. The same with browsing Technic sets from the relevant era on BrickSet.

These are not compatible with power functions connectors. The &quot;electric system 9V&quot; connectors have the connections built into regular lego studs (with the electric part of each stud carefully arranged to allow connections to be made between parts placed at right angles) while the power functions connectors have a special connector section that is not compatible with regular lego studs in any way.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As the other answer mentions the power functions extension cables (8886 for regular length, 8871 for extra-long) can be used as an adapter between &quot;power functions&quot; and &quot;electric system 9V&quot;. This cable has two different connectors, one end is a regular power functions connector with &quot;power functions&quot; connections on the top and bottom. The other end is a special connector with &quot;power functions&quot; connections on the top but &quot;electric system 9V&quot; connections on the bottom.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are a few caveats though.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* The power functions only end of the extension cable can be a bit of a pain to mount, because the electrical positions won't stack on top of regular lego studs.&#xD;&#xA;* The RCX has a 1-plate high step next to the motor ports. This was not a problem for electric system 9V wires which had the wire exit near the top of the brick but the power functions connectors have a much larger cable exit lump. This means that the power functions adapter cable can't be placed on a RCX in the normal orientation. For the side motor ports you can exit sideways, but for the center motor port you either have to exit over the screen, use an &quot;electric system 9V&quot; cable between the RCX and the adapter cable (so now you have three sections of cable to deal with....) or use a 1x2 electric plate (part 4755) to build-up the connector on the RCX.&#xD;&#xA;* &quot;Power functions&quot; is a 4-wire system while &quot;electric system 9&quot; is only two wire. So while you can use basic power functions motors with the adapter cable things like the servo motor will not work and you can't supply power to things like the IR receiver from an &quot;electric system 9V source. &#xD;&#xA;* For smaller models actually building your model may be a pain because of the extra wire length from the adapter and because the RCX was designed with old-style technic in mind while power functions was designed with new-style technic in mind.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for connecting multiple motors you can do so physically but if the motors are under heavy load you may hit the current limits in the motor drivers, heck even a single &quot;RC race buggy motor&quot; can overload the drivers in the RCX."

A Google Groups search of the archives of these newsgroups finds no references to the cheese slope.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At some point in the late 1990s, the AFOLs gradually migrated to LUGNET, which had a member area, a forum, a set reference, a part reference, and other features. A search of the LUGNET forum finds a [message from 13 June 2006](https://news.lugnet.com/trains/?n=27557) referring to &quot;cheese wedge slopes.&quot; The message author seems to assume that readers are familiar with the term, so the cheese term was probably in common use before this message. Other LUGNET messages from ~2008 also refer to &quot;cheese wedge slopes&quot; rather than the current term &quot;cheese slope.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the early 2000s, the AFOLs started buying and selling, and later conversing, on [Dan Jezek's BrickLink](https://www.danjezek.com/bricklink.html), which he called BrickBay for the first two years of its existence. The early BrickLink used to delete forum messages after 6 months, so the messages from the 2004-2006 period no longer exist.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Based on the part information on BrickLink and the message on LUGNET, it seems that the term &quot;cheese slope&quot; AKA &quot;cheese wedge slope&quot; came into being sometime between the introduction of the part in 2004 and mid-2006."

Completely disconnect your NXT from the computer (no USB connection).&#xD;&#xA; 2. Remove all external Bluetooth dongles from your computer, and turn Bluetooth off on the computer (just to be sure).&#xD;&#xA; 3. Reboot the computer (this is to make sure no other application is trying to compete for the USB port).&#xD;&#xA; 4. Restart the Mindstorms application (and, if possible, don’t start any other applications).&#xD;&#xA; 5. Remove one battery from the NXT for a couple of seconds, then reinsert it.&#xD;&#xA; 6. Push the NXT reset button firmly for five seconds (make sure you actually press it, and press it for the whole five seconds).&#xD;&#xA; 7. Now (with the NXT clicking and the environment up and running), connect the NXT to the computer via the USB cable. Preferably use a “primary” USB port, one on the computer itself and not on a keyboard or monitor.&#xD;&#xA; 8. On a PC, you can go to the device manager and check to see if the NXT shows up in “Firmware Update Mode” (if not, you may need to uninstall and reinstall the software and drivers).&#xD;&#xA; 9. Update the firmware to 1.03 using the “update firmware” option under the tools menu.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If this does not work, try *briefly* (one second) pushing the reset button again.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If that still doesn't help matters, try repeating steps 1-9 but using a different USB port on the computer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If that also doesn’t work, try using a different computer and repeating the entire process.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;Source: [Clicking Brick Syndrome][1]&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.thenxtstep.com/2006/06/clicking-brick-syndrome.html" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Or do I have to send a report to LEGO™ about it and wait for a new version?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Edit:** Here's some code that is likely to trigger this problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![BadProgramThatWillCrash][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/AvIuE.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/bwF6g.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/3032/ev3-brick-error-symbols&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/TfBjW.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

This chip is a dual H-bridge. The [datasheet][9] for the part indicates that each channel can handle 1.5A RMS/DC or 2A peak. The specs for the BuWizz indicate:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  Performance&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Max continuous current per channel: 4 A&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Max instantaneous current per channel: 6.5 A&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Max continuous power per channel: 36 W (HIGH speed mode)&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Max instantaneous power per channel: 55 W (HIGH speed mode)&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Max total power: 45 W&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Speed Modes&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; - SLOW: 5.2 V&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - NORMAL: 7.2 V&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - FAST: 9.2 V&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - LUDICROUS: 11.2 V&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm not sure how 4A per channel is achieved safely using the DRV8833. Given that 4 dual H-bridges are included, it is safe to assume that each chip is driving each output using both H-bridges in parallel, but according the the datasheet, this still only gets us to 3A RMS/DC per channel.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My hunch is that they are simply driving these parts harder than intended. We can see that they are using them at 11.2 volts, while the datasheet recommends a max operating voltage of 10.8 volts. It's worth noting that the max quoted continuous power per channel (36W) is very close to what you would get from a parallel configuration running at 11.2V (11.2V * 3A = 33.6W).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The BuWizz has carved out a niche for itself by going well beyond recommend operating power (the LEGO PF battery box tops out at 9V * .8A = 7.2W or less than a quarter of the BuWizz), so I wouldn't be surprised if they are running the motor drivers a bit hot.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcQcJxZsFFo&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/cKjD6.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/KllvG.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/1N4VP.png&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/hAHra.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/GKBNH.png&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://www.cypress.com/file/416486/download&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/jjpr8.png&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/drv8833.pdf" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

If so:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **What was your setup?**&#xD;&#xA; - **How did you clean the LPE afterwards, if at all?**&#xD;&#xA; - **Was there any damage after a few days?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm thinking about a 3-step process, but I'm also wondering if it's even necessary:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Run it on Baking Soda and Vinegar as planned.&#xD;&#xA; 2. Run it on Water to rinse out whatever raw ingredients might have gotten into it.&#xD;&#xA; 3. Run it on Air to dry out the water.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The water is probably from a garden hose, with the unsolved problem of how to hook it up to a Lego hose.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The air is probably from a shop compressor with the regulator turned down.  I have a bicycle pump for testing, and a sports inflator needle to make the connection, but I don't think I want to pump it *that* much!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The reason to use Baking Soda and Vinegar at all, instead of just using Air in the first place, is to have a compact, self-contained system that can run itself around a track for a while, and be able to start and stop on command without over-pressurizing for lack of use or running out from constant use.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, I've rigged up a pressure-regulated, motorized air pump to displace vinegar out of one small plastic water bottle, and into another that has the baking soda, which then creates the working gas.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've seen a big bank of pre-pressurized soda bottles on an LPE-powered car, but that's just too bulky for what I'm doing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some pictures may help:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The water bottle sits horizontally, under the black &quot;hold-down bridge&quot;, with the bottom against the RCX.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&quot;Steam&quot; locomotive with Walschaerts valve gear.

Intrusion of liquids into the pneumatic system&#xD;&#xA;2. Intrusion of solid particles into the pneumatic system&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To filter out solid particles, namely baking soda, a fine mesh could be used, either alone or in multiple layers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To get rid of droplets, some absorbing material such as cotton could be inserted before, after or rather between the layers of mesh.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So if we can suppose that the bottle will have an exit point that is always clear from the liquid-solid phase (based on your comment &quot;with hose connections in the cap&quot;), we can imagine the following filter system built inside a small diameter tube (like a plastic straw), where # denotes layers of fine mesh fixed inside the pipe, capable of holding back both baking soda dust and the loose cotton swabs:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA; ________________________________________&#xD;&#xA;/                                        \&#xD;&#xA;|                                         \&#xD;&#xA;|                                          \&#xD;&#xA;|                                           \___&#xD;&#xA;|                                               |&#xD;&#xA;|            #cotton#cotton#cotton#cotton#======+&#xD;&#xA;|                                            ___|&#xD;&#xA;|------------------------------------------ /&#xD;&#xA;|    o     8      O   Ö    *     0    .    /&#xD;&#xA;|  °    vinegar + baking soda   :    ö    /&#xD;&#xA;\________________________________________/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Or if you need to fill the bottle more than halfway, but can ensure that the sloshing will not reach the top of the laying bottle, then you might be able to use a doubly-bent straw:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA; ________________________________________&#xD;&#xA;/                                        \&#xD;&#xA;|        #cotton#cotton#cotton#cotton#=\  \&#xD;&#xA;|                                      \\  \&#xD;&#xA;|                                       \\  \___&#xD;&#xA;|----------------------------------------\\-----|&#xD;&#xA;|  :         *           ö                \=====+&#xD;&#xA;|       o      Ö    0        8     O    .    ___|&#xD;&#xA;|   °                 Ö                     /&#xD;&#xA;|    o     8      O        *     0    .    /&#xD;&#xA;|  °    vinegar + baking soda   :    ö    /&#xD;&#xA;\________________________________________/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But as MaxW has noted on your question over at Chemistry.SE:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; You won't get pure CO2 out of an aqueous solution. There will be water vapor in the CO2. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So your metal parts will definitely be exposed to a (probably highly diluted) carbonic acid, that &quot;can corrode, rust or pit steel but the extent of those effects depends upon the chemical composition of the steel. Stainless steel, in contrast, resists general corrosion caused by carbonic acid.&quot; ([Source][1])&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;How fast of how much will the parts be corroded? I can't find a definitive answer for that, but in the end, it all comes down to three, highly variable factors:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. The exact composition of the steel used in your pistons (pretty much unknowable, especially since the particular pistons are about 20 years old)&#xD;&#xA;2. The concentration of carbonic acid in the generated stream of CO2 (depends on the filter, the water content of the vinegar used and probably other factors as well)&#xD;&#xA;3. The duration of exposure (that can be minimized by applying the cleaning steps outlined in your question, but consider that rinsing with water brings another set of problems, like limescale or rusting - so if I were you, I'd skip step 2 and only run it on warm, dry air to remove any moisture from the system)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Looking forward to read your experience!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://itstillruns.com/the-effects-of-carbonic-acid-on-steel-12590472.html" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Of course there are some more obvious reasons for the sake of the build and the art of LEGO, but they might not apply in the case of a calendar:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- **Design.** This isn't necessarily the case for using 2x2s over a 2x4 in a calendar. But for example think of something as the Architecture Robie House, where they used 1x2 and 1x1 plates, about 1000 in sum, to simulate the actual brick work of the real house, when they could as well have built it from much fewer bricks. While this also significantly increased the part count, I would still argue this was primarily done for its aesthetic value and it works.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- **Reuseability.** Again not too relevant in the case of a calendar, but a lot more important for something like a Creator 3-in-1, when building something else from the pieces is not only encouraged but intended and part of the product's appeal (you could say it's implicitly part of the appeal of LEGO bricks in general, but that's not necessarily reflected in the actual marketing and business philosophy anymore).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A more economic look at the situation opens a few more possibilities that might apply more specifically to your case. While LEGO certainly have more freedom by basically holding all the cards, I found it sometimes **helps to think about your own MOCs and why you'd choose one part over the other**. When designing a model the first intuition is to use the most fitting part, but there are various considerations to switch them out, almost all of them economically motivated:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- **Available colours.** This is certainly the strictest consideration, since you can't use a part that's just not available. While LEGO *would* have the freedom to simply create the part in that colour, there are still considerations of bringing yet *another* unique colour-shape combination into production, especially if you don't need it in too many other sets, above all something as much of an afterthought as a calendar. Though, this might not apply so much to something as simple as a 2x4 plate, there's still a ton of exotic colours that don't even have that, even if white is anything but exotic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- **Item price.** Now for MOC designers this is motivated a bit differently, since the price of a piece isn't driven &quot;naturally&quot; by actual material cost rather than &quot;artificially&quot; by the demand and supply created from its availability in official sets. That's why 2 2x2s can be much cheaper than a 2x4. But even for LEGO, who basically could mold as many parts as they want, this isn't really driven by material. The material really costs about *zero*, no matter if you print 2 2x2s or 1 2x4. It is the factory configuration, the logistics of bringing pieces to together, the use of the piece in other produced sets. These all figure into the production cost.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- **Lot count.** In fact when designing a MOC, especially if I intend to build it myself, another consideration is keeping the lot count down. If you already need 2x2s anyway and you don't need a 2x4 for structural integrity, then it might improve your model's acquirability if you have to shop for 1 lot less, since someone offering 5 2x2s is likely offering 7, too. I'd think this isn't too much different for LEGO if you consider the above points about the logisitics of molding parts and then packaging them into a single set. Better mold two more than bringing another machine configuration, production lane or, god beware, factory into the mix. And in fact I often observed that in official sets, where I wonder why they'd use two parts instead of a more fitting one only to see that there's already 20 more of those two parts in the set and it starts to make sense.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All these factors are driven by purely economical reasons and based on the assumption that **production and logistics make much more of the cost of a piece than just its material**, especially when amortized over tons of pieces and when the difference in material between 2 2x2s and 1 2x4 isn't that big to begin with. But of course there could be another, still economical but less directly, reason based on marketing:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- **Part count.** As noted in the question, this might very well be to just amp the part count of a set, or a calendar where the individual part count of the models isn't too high anyway and you can basically increase it to quite some degree with just adding a few more pieces. A higher part count makes the set *seem* more valuable (since it suggests more material and a more complex design). This can be the truth but doesn't have to, depending on what factors you measure value by and how it's practiclly implemented.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Though, I would agree that **structural integrity *should* prevail** over all these reasons, since a model that just doesn't stay together is of no use at all. But it can still be relative how fragile is *too* fragile and you also have to figure into the matter, that the advent calendar is somewhat of a side thought that **might not be driven by the highest of quality and design considerations** from LEGO, especially regarding the buildable items when many people seem most interested in the figures."

This typically results in a somewhat oversized coal car, but it's not ridiculously sized. If you are using the new Powered Up components, you don't need an IR sensor and you're done with just the battery box and motor. If you're using the older IR Power Functions you need to place the IR sensor somewhere: this typically involves rebuilding part of the locomotive. If you have the Power Functions train motor, but don't want to use the IR sensor, you can use the rechargeable battery box which has a built-in speed control switch. The downside is you have to catch the moving train to turn it off.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Building a powered self-contained locomotive is challenging as most steam locomotives are not wide enough to conceal a battery box, and the train motor isn't well suited to the typical spacing of the steam engine train wheels. Not to mention that its speed assumes small train wheels, so the larger wheels will spin as fast, but because of the larger diamter, the train will be faster. It's possible, but tricky, to build a steam engine where the front wheels use the train motor: I did it, but there are serious technical challenges to making it run reliably. I ended up having to switch the large wheels from a &quot;flange, no-flange, flange&quot; driver configuration to a &quot;no-flange, flange, no-flange&quot; configuration, so that the locomotive could go around corners."

They all use a 6 stud gauge, so with a bit of fiddling, you can use all of the systems together. If you want to be most compatible with the current track offerings, you're better off with 9V and RC/PF track. [This question][1] discusses the specific compatibility issues in more detail.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are several other train systems that have been used that are not compatible (DUPLO trains, 4 guage rails, etc), but I'll just cover the common 6 gauge systems here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The different types of train track can be divided into a few main eras.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Blue Era (1966 - 1980)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A track section consisted of 2 rails connected by regular 2x8 plates. The rails themselves were blue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![blue straight rails][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Trains could be either pushed by hand along the track, powered via 3 batteries (4.5V system), or powered via a third conducting rail added to the center of the track (12V system). Here are what the conducting rails for the 12V system look like:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![12V conducting rails][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some people still prefer the 12V system because it included more remote controlled components than the later 9V or RC/PF systems. With later systems, the only thing that is easily remote controlled is the train itself, whereas the 12V system included remote controlled points, light, and decouplers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Each era included straight track, curved track, switches, and cross track.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![blue points][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![blue cross track][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Gray Era (1980 - 1991)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These rails are generally the same as the blue rails aside from the new gray color.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![straight gray rails][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The sleepers were moved closer together (3 per section rather than 2), and they were changed to a specialized part to improve the strength of the connection. Here's what the sleepers look like:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![gray era sleepers][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The trains of this era were still either powered by 4.5V batteries or the 12V conducting rails.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# 9V Era (1991 - 2006)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The 9V era completely changed the track components, and did away with the old 4.5V and 12V voltages. Rails sections were a single piece, and they were all conducting.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![9V straight rails][8]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![9v curved rails][9]][9]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The 9v system included straight, curved, switch, and cross track.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![9v cross track][10]][10]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![9v switch pack][11]][11]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# RC / Power Functions Era (2007-)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In 2006, LEGO switched back to non-conducting rails with roughly the same mold as the 9V track. Trains are now all battery-powered under either the RC or currently the Power Functions and Powered UP systems.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![RC Track][12]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This era included the first and only [crossover switch (7996)][13] :&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![crossover][14]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It also introduced flexible track:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![flex track][15]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Switches are also available, but a cross track has not yet been released for PF track.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![PF switches][16]][16]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/2539/can-i-use-the-old-12v-rails-with-the-remote-trains/2541#2541&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/N30f7.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6QACC.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/bpfrx.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/WIEQb.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/w84Sn.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Rde98.png&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/oa4LN.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/mRC7E.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/uAZKG.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/thoDC.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/MEcqT.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [13]: http://brickset.com/sets/7996-1/Train-Rail-Crossing&#xD;&#xA;  [14]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/XAJvY.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [15]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/f91sk.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [16]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/BLUsn.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Higher temperatures may affect the quality of the parts. You can add a mild detergent to the water - please rinse them well with clear water afterwards and you're done!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Please don't put your LEGO® pieces in the washing machine or dishwasher, and don't try to dry them in the oven, the microwave or with a hair dryer. When the bricks get really hot they may change shape, which means they won't work anymore!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So the best way to wash all your bricks at once, is to put them into a big bowl, a sink or your bathtub. Add _warm_ water (&lt; 40°C), soap/mild detergent and wash them by hand. Rinse in another bowl of clear water. Spread the bricks on a towel and let them air dry.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This should be enough to remove dust and loose dirt. For harder grime like stickers or glue-rests there already is [another question][2] that might also be helpful:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - pure alcohol or&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - glass cleaner&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - cheap hairspray (spray 2-3 seconds from very close distance and then rub of with a piece of cloth) sometimes also does a good job&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.lego.com/en-us/service/help/bricks-building/brick-facts/cleaning-your-lego-bricks-408100000007835&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/24/how-can-a-sticker-be-removed/34#34" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

It seems to be that the XL motor can pull so much more due to the increase in size of the whole motor but takes a lot more time to do a full 360-degree spin, and for the M motor it takes about less than a second to do a whole spin. If you want to buy a motor due to its speed but lack in torque, buy an M motor. If you want to have a stronger motor and won't get jammed easily, buy XL motor.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you already have an XL motor (or L motor) and you don't want to buy another (M or L) motor just increase the gear ratio.

I lined up my gears on a beam without putting them too far or too close from each other and now they freely spin with no problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You also wonder how to make your engine faster. If using one single big gear and another small gear together is not fast enough, try adding some more. I will show you one way of doing this step-by-step.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![gear][8]][8]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Above is one big gear and one smaller gear, which is considerably faster than without any gears at all (unless you use the smaller gear as input gear, which gives opposite effect). If it is not fast enough for you, then we will expand the gear train to make it faster.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][9]][9]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now there is another big gear on top of the small one. This is because another small gear will follow after it, which will be almost twice as fast as the previous small gear. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][10]][10]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now there is the smaller gear. As I already said, it will be faster than the previous one due to the size of the other gears following it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][11]][11]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now we put a bush under it to prevent it from slipping. You might think I could've put another big gear there instead, but *no*, I can't, because it will ruin the gear train and jam it up. The gear train will therefore continue on the other side of the beam, like so:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][12]][12]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A big gear was placed on the other side of the beam to continue the gear train, and of course, a smaller gear will follow after it. But keep in mind that the smaller gear should be on the *right* axle from the bigger gear, not the *left*, because the axles on the left are already controlled by gears and you may end up twisting the axle or breaking the teeth off of the gears above them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=10928#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3648#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=32498#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=32270#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/4732/which-is-faster-m-motor-or-xl-motor#comment17972_14929&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/IYpd5.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=24316&amp;name=Technic,%20Axle%203%20with%20Stop&amp;category=%5BTechnic,%20Axle%5D#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/PBVlX.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/610ZB.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/w34od.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/SIuJY.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/TEgir.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

However, I distinctly remember that some sets had units that gave a slight advantage over other sets, at least for my style of playing.&#xA;&#xA;For instance, the Aqua Pod has several units that can deconstruct and eat, but could not move very far.  (Deconstruct reduces your opponent's unit by 1 level.  Eat deconstructs an opponent's level 1 unit and raises your unit up 1 level.)  While the Aero Pod has several that can move far and deconstruct, but do not have the special ability to eat.&#xA;&#xA;![Hammerhead][1]  ![Jet Raider][2]&#xA;&#xA;In several games between these two Pods, I was able to win by moving next to my opponent's unit, battling till he was down to level 1, and then just eating him, thus raising the level of my unit back up by 1.&#xA;&#xA;It may be that certain combinations of sets are more equally matched than others, or it could be that I was just better than my opponent :)&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;----------&#xA;Edit:&#xA;&#xA;(For a copy of the rules, starter kits, boards, and strategy guide see [this question][3].)&#xA;&#xA;The Advanced Rules and the Advanced Strategy Guide give a few pointers that can help your game.&#xA;&#xA;For building a board, the Advanced Rules suggest:&#xA;&#xA;&gt; You should probably have at least 5 obstacles and no more than 9 for a balanced game.&#xA;&#xA;As for strategies, they vary based on the abilities of the Pod you have chosen, and your opponent.  (For complete strategies for each Pod against all other Pods, see the Advanced Strategy Guide)&#xA;&#xA;Aero Pod&#xA;--------&#xA;&#xA;&gt; **Using Obstacles to Your Advantage**&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; The chief advantage of the Aero Pod is that most of its units can fly or jump. This means that yellow units are much less restrained by obstacles than units of any other Pod.  On an arena filled with obstacles, Aero Pod units are, at their best, able to avoid getting boxed in and to score quickly. On less blocked arena, the Aero Pod has less of an advantage, but its jumpers and fliers can move over enemies, while its raiders can move through them.&#xA;&#xA;Aqua Pod&#xA;--------&#xA;&#xA;&gt; **Undersea Dining**&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; Similar to the Wild Pod, the Aqua Pod has a well-balanced set up units and a few different strategies from which to choose.  Pay attention to what team you’re up against to determine your strategy. Fast opponents require deconstructing units that have block them at choke point; slow opponents should be outrun with quick moving and jumping units. And don’t forget about your eat ability. Eating gives you an edge in deconstruction stand-oﬀs, so be sure to have some level-one units of your own on the board to rebuild and preserve your powerhouses.&#xA;&#xA;Arachno Pod&#xA;-----------&#xA;&#xA;&gt; **Getting the Opponent in your Web**&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; Arachno units are pretty quick, so you’ll probably want to play an aggressive game where you try to score early and often. The web ability is a great aid to this strategy. Since web has a range of two, you’re able to maneuver your units easily to freeze opponents before they get near you. Use web to incapacitate oncoming units and either zip your faster units by to score, or moving into your deconstructing units to ﬁnish the job. Arachno works particularly well on open boards, where you can web opponents without blocking oﬀ your paths to the opponent’s row.&#xA;&#xA;Auto Pod&#xA;--------&#xA;&#xA;&gt; **Quick Scoring**&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; Auto Pod has the fastest units in the game. It has very few jumpers or ﬂiers, but it makes up for that lack in raw speed. What this means is that an Auto Pod player has a good chance of getting control of the board and scoring points earlier in the game.  This strategy works best on open boards with few obstacles to block your units' movement. On more crowded boards, Auto Pod players have to rely on their pushing, carrying, and limited deconstruction abilities to break the opponent's line and create a path on which to score.&#xA;&#xA;Dragon Pod&#xA;----------&#xA;&#xA;&gt; **Winning with Super-units**&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; The center of a Dragon Pod team is its dragon unit. These four level units are easily the most powerful in the game, so using them eﬀectively is the key to victory. First, the number of units you can use with any individual dragon is limited, so picking a dragon will basically determine your strategy for that board. Your secondary units are fairly weak, so use the dragon aggressively and don’t be afraid to lose a level if it means taking out a key opponent. Still, be sure to have a couple good back-up cards and maybe even some Build and Place X-tras in case the dragon goes down.&#xA;&#xA;Monster Pod&#xA;-----------&#xA;&#xA;&gt; **Scaring Your Opponent Stiff**&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; Monster Pod is a slow, steadily moving team with a powerful special ability: scare. What makes scare so powerful is that scaring happens automatically at the end of a turn. This means that every scaring unit freezes all adjacent opponent units every turn, even if you didn’t activate it. As a result, scaring units are terrific to leave near important intersections on the board to stop enemy movement. On the other hand, combining a scare unit with a carrying unit will give you an engine you can march across the board, and deconstructing frozen units is an easy way to clear the board.&#xA;&#xA;Robo Pod&#xA;--------&#xA;&#xA;&gt; **Keeps Going and Going...**&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; Robo Pod units have the most deconstructing units of any Pod so a lot of Robo Pod strategies are about taking apart your opponent's pieces. Use this advantage to guard your home row and hunt down enemy units to keep them from scoring.  Robo Pod units also have an additional advantage that aids them in deconstruction - almost every Robo Pod unit continues to function at its lowest level. This means that your units have to be removed from the board to stop them from moving. Robo Pod works best on boards where there are choke points that its units can guard, and from which it can slowly march its units to victory.&#xA;&#xA;Wild Pod&#xA;--------&#xA;&#xA;&gt; **Eating and the Value of Food**&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; The Wild Pod has the most diversity of all of the Pods, which means that you have a few strategies to choose from. You'll want to tailor your units carefully for the Pod you're facing. The advantage that you have is that your units can eat. This means that any Wild Pod unit on the board can potentially reconstruct itself and that you have a unique edge in deconstructing others. Be sure to make use of the level one &quot;food&quot; units that the Wild Pod has. More powerful units can be accompanied by a couple of level one units that can restore its levels and make it safe from deconstruction.  Using eat well can decimate your opponent's units and allow you to keep your super units for the duration of the game.&#xA;&#xA;Summary&#xA;-------&#xA;&#xA;The important thing is to know both your and your opponents strengths and weaknesses, but even the best strategy can be overcome by someone with no strategy.  You must be prepared for anything and have a full knowledge of your own capabilities and how to use them.&#xA;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/iEjyk.png&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/58vyF.png&#xA;  [3]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/q/641/14" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

If you're lazy to figure out how, you can [buy a kit from a fan](http://www.blokbricks.com/contents/en-us/p104.html?lmd=40799.435417) which will allow you to control 2 points (you'll need one more pump to generate the pressure). With the included instructions, you can build more controls if you have the parts, or simply buy more kits. (He also sells compatible pneumatic hose by the meter, and his custom waggons are nice as well).&#xA;&#xA;His design is very compact, probably much more than you'll be able to get with electrical power; plus, it saves energy. The only drawback in my opinion is the hoses which you'll need to run from your control station to each point, which are slightly larger that electrical cables.&#xA;&#xA;---&#xA;&#xA;Another typical solution is to use a motor which controls the point. This will take more place, and you have to be careful that the motor doesn't run too far (use a [clutch gear](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=60c01)). One promising way is to use the new small linear actuator: [![Technic Linear Actuator Mini][1]](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=92693c01) which should behave more or less like the mini pneumatic pump; but of course any other Technical solution should be good. Use your imagination, or dive into [BrickShelf](http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=remote+points&amp;stype=fi) in search of inspiration.&#xA;&#xA;Of course, you'll need to run electrical wires, or use infrared receivers, but then you'll be limited in the number of points you can control. Note that sometimes, the configuration of your layout means that pairs of switches can be controlled together (think of a bypass to change from one track to the other), so that you can spare some control channels, or wires.&#xA;&#xA;--&#xA;&#xA;Non-LEGO solutions can be achieved with about anything, including solenoids (electrical actuators), which LEGO doesn't produce. One other elegant solution I can think of is to use bike brake cable, but I have no real idea if that would be easy to do.&#xA;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/9OsOl.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Jamie Berard, then a relatively new designer in Billund gave an excellent presentation on why certain techniques are considered &quot;illegal&quot; in official sets. The basics message is that building techniques should:&#xA;&#xA; - not stress the bricks&#xA; - be suitable for the target audience of the set&#xA;&#xA;He described in some detail the ways that Technic beams and regular system bricks can and cannot be combined in official sets. The main problem areas occur because:&#xA;&#xA; - Technic holes don't exactly line up with the studs on the sides of system bricks&#xA; - the holes in Technic beams are slightly smaller than the ones in system bricks&#xA;&#xA;The implications are:&#xA;&#xA; - Although system brick studs can be inserted in the holes in Technic beams, this should be avoided where it would be difficult for children to take apart. Jamie gives an example where a brick has a single stud inserted into a beam, and describes it as &quot;technically legal&quot; (but not recommended). This is the situation in your example.&#xA; - Where the combination of Technic and system bricks results in an assembly where components interfere with each other, this can stress the parts. However, this is not the case in the example you cited.&#xA;&#xA;According to these rules, then, the example you give is *not* illegal. Clearly, it can be a problem under some circumstances, but is acceptable under others.&#xA;&#xA;Unfortunately, none of this actually answers your original question, as there remain two possibilities:&#xA;&#xA; 1. Your assertion that &quot;at one point, LEGO didn't really support putting a stud into a Technic hole, stating that it caused too much stress on the bricks&quot; may not be correct. The misapprehension may have arisen because Lego emphasized the illegal uses of the technique, but down-played legal ones. In that case, we may assume that set designers simply chose not to use the technique (or were unaware that they could because they, too, were misguided).&#xA;&#xA; 2. The alternative explanation is that LEGO did make a sweeping statement to this effect, but later realized that it needed clarification. In which case, Jamie's presentation in 2006 seems to be the first clear public statement of the more detailed rules (of course, internal designers might well have been aware of the policy tweak much earlier, but still chosen not to use the technique). If there was such a policy adjustment, this would establish why the technique was not used until recently.&#xA;&#xA;Without the text of LEGO's earlier communications on the subject, it is difficult to know which explanation is the correct one. Either way, I'd urge you to look at the slides for Jamie's presentation. It is available online [in powerpoint format][1] and as a [pdf][2]. Apart from being an interesting read in their own right, they also make it clear that this single stud-in-a-hole has been legal since at least 2006.&#xA;&#xA;  [1]: http://cache.lego.com/downloads/brickfest2006/brickstress.ppt&#xA;  [2]: http://bramlambrecht.com/tmp/jamieberard-brickstress-bf06.pdf" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

It is about continuing to develop a systematic approach to creativity and play to enhance learning and to help pass on the joy of play from generation to generation. We call this Sustainable Play.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; All LEGO bricks are compatible across time and product line, giving each brick a very long lifetime. LEGO bricks never become redundant, as each one can be reused to build new ideas and to unfold children’s creativity. Bricks that are not passed on to family or friends are often sold second-hand. We call this Sustainable Play. The resilience and long-life of LEGO products supports our Play Promise by extending play value over time. It also opposes a culture of ‘play and throw away’, helping to support our Planet Promise.&#xA;&#xA;However they also touch on the option of recycling the bricks themselves when they talk about reusing them as the raw materials for new products:&#xA;&#xA;**Design for disassembly of LEGO elements**&#xA;&#xA;&gt; Design for Disassembly is about designing a product so it can be separated into base elements of materials at its end-of-life.

Here at The LEGO Group we hold ourselves to an extremely high quality standard. The fact that your elements have broken is something that we take really seriously.&#xA;We would be more than happy to send you replacements for these pieces right away. If you would be so kind as to provide us with a little bit more information on the parts, we will be sure to help you out.&#xA;&#xA;After a little research, I let them know the parts were from either Stormer (7169) or Breez (7165) depending on the color, that the other limb ends from those sets were separating in a similar fashion, and asked whether they had noticed similar faults with these types of pieces historically (morbid curiosity). &#xA;&#xA;From LEGO: &#xA;&gt;Thanks for getting back to use with the sets that you have broken pieces from. I am so sorry to hear that these parts have broken. That is unfortunate. I was able to pull up the image of the parts that you sent with your original email and was able to see the exact pieces that you need. Sadly, these parts have been discontinued and we are unable to replace those parts for you. I do apologize for this. I wish there was some kind of replacement to send, but sadly, there is nothing as a substitute for those parts.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;Again, we wish we could help you restore your LEGO set back to new but unfortunately the pieces you need are no longer available through us. There is hope though, Peeron.com is website run by a group of LEGO fans that contains information on LEGO sets, replacement parts, building instructions and more. It’s not affiliated with the LEGO Group but we know from other fans that it has a good collection of older building instructions to download, discontinued pieces to purchase, and great set information.&#xA;&#xA;Ah well, thanks anyway!&#xA;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/vcpl6.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Everything works correctly if I hold it off the ground and make sure there is no load on the two leg motors. However, **if I apply any resistance at all to the motors, then one of the motors will usually (~90% of the time) stop functioning** correctly.  Whenever it stops it seems to be braking because it does not turn freely.&#xA;&#xA;In the alligator program, I think it usually happens whenever the two motors are programmed to move simultaneously in the same direction for a certain amount of time.  If resistance is applied, then motor B will usually stop working. Of course, **this makes the alligator basically worthless because it never ends up moving as there is always a little load when on the ground**. I can typically get it to start working again by applying some manual rotation/resistance to either motor, but **what works or not seems random**.&#xA;&#xA;I think I've noticed similar issues with other programs in the past, but I can't be sure. I have latest firmware v1.31 and we're using v2.0.f4 of Mindstorms Labview software. &#xA;&#xA;My best guess is that the NXT firmware has issues with the motor control timing when two motors are moving together and one gets slightly off.

To count these out accurately I use high precision scales (0.01g), but I'm never confident about the counts.&#xA;&#xA;Be aware that as well as **variations in mold design** (which other answers have pointed out), even pieces from the exact same place on the same mold can have different masses. **Different colours** of LEGO have different densities, so even for the same volume of plastic you'll get different weights.&#xA;&#xA;I commonly come across sets with two different moldings, for example with the rods in the underside of bricks being hollow or not.  The reason for this is that mold designs are changed when designs with better characteristics - typically plastic consumption, but possibly heat dissipation, flow attributes or other factors - are created.  But manufacturing a mold costs a vast amount of money; the most expensive ones are over a quarter of a million dollars. Because of this large capital cost to produce molds, LEGO manufactures elements from **different mold designs at the same time** (plastic molds can be good for 10 to 250 thousand impressions, and might be refurbished rather than retired an the end of this run) and you have a world where your question can't be answered definitively. &#xA;&#xA;Here's the best advice I can offer: &#xA;&#xA;  1. weigh many identically-coloured bricks on a high-precision scale* &#xA;  2. before you do, inspect each brick to ensure that there are no mold variations&#xA;  3. divide the total mass by the number of bricks&#xA;&#xA;*_I have a kitchen scale that has 2 grams of [precision][1], and a much smaller scale that works to 0.01g. Which is more precise? More accurate? How can you make one give more precise answers than the other?&lt;br/&gt;If you go more precise that than 0.01g you're going to have to protect against noise introduced by fluctuations in air pressure (as it is, I have to be careful not to breathe on the 0.01g scales or the reading bounces around for a while). If you go to a jeweller's shop, you can see how they deal with this problem when they weigh gold and gems - they put a hood over the scale!_&#xA;&#xA;  [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accuracy_and_precision" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Just remember that:&#xA;&#xA; 1. Just because it sold once for a certain amount, yours will not necessarily sell for the same amount. Tons of factors come into play, including completeness, box quality but also demand, location and luck (especially with vintage sets).&#xA; 2. Just because it sold once before, doesn't mean the set is in demand or will sell anytime soon. Especially with very old sets like yours, there isn't a lot of demand. Vintage LEGO is nice to have, but sets from those days are significantly less sophisticated than recent sets.&#xA; 3. For LEGO: older doesn't necessarily mean more expensive. A lot of really old sets actually sell for remarkably little money.&#xA;&#xA;In no particular order, here are the most common reference sources for determining set values:&#xA;&#xA;# Bricklink #&#xA;&#xA;The most comprehensive source of set values when dealing with items that collectors will buy. Your everyday buyer won't typically use this venue, but in case of vintage sets, collectors do frequent BL. It's Price Guide feature is powerful, but only contains data on the last 6 months.&#xA;&#xA;Set 40 has not been sold the last 6 months on BL, so there is no Price Guide. [It does have 5 current listings world-wide][1].&#xA;&#xA;Set 171 has also not seen any sales in the last 6 months on BL, but it currently has [17 listings world-wide][2].&#xA;&#xA;# EBay #&#xA;&#xA;EBay shows a history of sold listings for any given search term. Since EBay is also used by the casual shopper, this gives you a broader overview, however, especially for highly collector items that don't have a broad audience, like your vintage sets, people might shun EBay due to high fees.&#xA;&#xA;Looking at set 40 sold listings on EBay, [there have been 2 in the last while][3], both international sales in Europe.&#xA;&#xA;Set 171 [has been sold 3 times][4], two at around $50 and one at around $100 (USD).&#xA;&#xA;# BrickPicker #&#xA;&#xA;Brickpicker is an investment guide for LEGO. This site focuses on managing a portfolio of LEGO sets as if they were stocks. They keep important statistics (mainly compiled from EBay) on every set produced by the LEGO group. Sales statistics are nicely split out by country/region, which can be helpful.&#xA;&#xA;Set 40 [is listed here][5].&#xA;&#xA;Set 171 [is listed here][6].

One method is to put something through the ring (such as a paperclip) and then pull hard to try to remove the pin. The pin is ribbed, so this could be difficult.

As an example of the .ldr format, this:&#xA;&#xA;![Simble brick assembly][2]&#xA;&#xA;Can be generated by pasting this into a text document and renaming it .ldr:&#xA;&#xA;&gt;0 Brick test&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;0 Name: Brick test.ldr&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;0 Author: HaydenStudios&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;0 Unofficial Model&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;0 ROTATION CENTER 0 0 0 1 &quot;Custom&quot; &#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;0 ROTATION CONFIG 0 0&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;1 4 50 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3001.dat&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;1 7 50 -8 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3020.dat&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;1 4 50 -32 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3003.dat&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;1 4 50 -56 10 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3009.dat&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;0&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;All LDraw applications rely on having a base LDraw installation to refer to which contains files for 3D models of all LEGO parts available in the LDraw parts library. If you wanted to write a Javascript that interprets LDraw models, you'd need it to have an LDraw parts library stored somewhere to refer to, such as on a server.&#xA;&#xA;Each tool in the LDraw system of tools has its own &quot;actions&quot; that it injects into an LDraw file when you edit it. One such program, LPub, is specifically designed for making instructions for models constructed using any LDraw-compatible tool:&#xA;&#xA;![LEGO Car in LPub][3]&#xA;&#xA;It allows you to set up each page, and saves your setups for each page into the LDraw file so that it can be read by any program that knows how to read LDraw files and LPub's formatting.&#xA;&#xA;This and the .LXFML format are the only two file formats I know of that are along the lines of what you described. One potentially deciding factor in which format to choose is the different ways they handle instructions. For LDraw files, you have to manually make the steps as you make the models, whereas LDD automatically generates the instructions. While this can save the builder a lot of time, the order in which the pieces are added may not make as much sense as if they were made manually. Whether this is a pro or con is really a matter of personal preference.&#xA;&#xA;Altogether, though, I'd personally recommend using LDraw files due to LEGO Digital Designer's relatively limited part library, as well as the fact that the former is generally more favored among the late teen and AFOL community.&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.ldraw.org/&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/NMBDt.png&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/4pMfk.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

The US company Tyco were the first with ‘Super Blocks’ in 1984, after LEGO’s brick patent expired in 1983. Almost every attempt at cloning has been inferior, mainly due to production costs being lower resulting in inferior grade materials and poor fitting pieces. Set design has generally varied from mediocre to rubbish. However, the recently invigorated factories of China have begun to churn out various LEGO clones. It’s worth noting that the potential Chinese domestic market is far, far larger than that of Europe and America combined. There are many Chinese companies making LEGO copies, with new ones starting up at an astounding rate. Minifig copying seems to be endemic, taking advantage of enormous demand for collectable box sets that LEGO cannot do due to contractual reasons. A brief trawl of the AliExpress export website finds a list of 50 companies making plastic building blocks, with probably at least half doing LEGO clones. Most if not all are based in Chenghai, the toy capital of China. Some companies appear to source their products from each other and subcontract, so working out exactly who makes which branded kits is not always straightforward. Many are of random quality and there is a lot of chaff and little wheat. The following is an incomplete list of some of the more actively promoted brands. By the time you read this, there will probably be more. It is interesting to note that many Far East websites list the keyword ‘Enlighten’ above ‘LEGO’.&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;Net: Some knock-off brands are getting really good and compare in quality with LEGO. Some are absolutely horrific. Some are complete cloners (and will likely disappear soon when the LEGO lawyers swoop in), some have found a niche that LEGO doesn't cover and will likely stay around.&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

It would be more difficult since you would need a water tight bearing for the rotating shaft to exit the sealed bag.  These bearings are complicated and will still always allows some small amount of leakage.&#xA;&#xA;An option to help prevent water leakage would be to fill the motor with a non-conducting fluid to displace any inflowing water, something like mineral oil.  I'm not going to try this with any of my motors, but it should work.  There is history of using mineral oil for electronics to aid in heat transfer (used by some extreme CPU over clockers) it is non corrosive and non conductive and will not rust the metallic components.&#xA;&#xA;As an alternate just letting water in seemed to work for a while, you could prolong motor life, by ensuring the internals were thoroughly dried after removing them from the water.  This would most likely involve opening the housing and a dry air flush.  This would slow the rusting, which is much faster when water is combined with exposure to the oxygen present in air.&#xA;&#xA;EDIT&#xA;&#xA;Another method that could be used with actual Lego parts, use the Lego magnets to couple two shafts rotation together on either side of the plastic bag around the motor, this should have zero leakage.  There would be an upper limit on the torque possible before the magnets would slip and it would potentially cause wear onto the plastic bag if there is contact with the moving parts.&#xA;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/MLr2s.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

In fact, the first figures did not even have faces, or articulating limbs. They were very basic. Here is a photo showing the basic evolution of minifigures over the years. The first 'figures' were introduced in the mid-1900s.&#xA;[![Evolution of the Minifigure][1]][1]&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;Functionability: Adding ears to the head mold would greatly complicate things for Lego. Apart from the fact that ears would be likely to be broken off or get damaged, they would affect the compatability of heads. &#xA;&#xA;All standard mold lego heads can fit just about every mold of hat and hair. However, if TLG started making heads with ears, they would have to redesign every single 'headgear' and 'hair' mold so that they would fit around/over the ears.

Will this be possible in the app?**&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; You can link up to 5 devices (Smart Hubs or Smart Controllers) together.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; To create a network you first need to connect a Samrt Hub [sic] and a Smart Controller.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; **First Hub connection**&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; Turn Hub and Controller ON by pressing their green buttons and they will link. The LED will blink white and then shift to same channel color e.g. blue. You can now change the channel color by pressing the green button on the hub and toggle through the 5 channel colors. When turning OFF the Hub or Controller the last connection is remembered and re-established when turning both ON.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; **Adding Hub to network**&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; With the first Hub and the Controller ON and connected you can add extra Hubs to the network by turning the new Hub ON and then press both green buttons simultaneously on the new Hub and one of the components in the network (Hub or Controller). The new Hub is now added to the network with the same channel color as the currently selected channel. Again toggle to another channel by pressing the green button on the Hub. When more Hubs on different channels are added to the network you toggle between the different channels by pressing the green button on the Controller.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; Note: The current Powered UP app supports control of a single train.&#xA;&#xA;Note that when you have two Smarthubs paired with the remote on the same channel, when you press a speed control button on the left side of the remote, both Smarthubs will respond. This is shown in a [video by HispaBrick Magazine](https://www.facebook.com/hispabrickmagazine/videos/10157270349191754). This means you'll start both trains concurrently with a single button press. To avoid this:&#xA;&#xA; - Change the channel on one of the hubs by pressing the green button once. You can then switch to this channel on the remote by pressing the green button on the remote, and cycle through all 5 channels back to the other hub to control that other hub again.&#xA;&#xA; - Or if you want to be able to control each hub independently using each side of the remote *without having to change channels on the controller*, simply switch the plug on one of the hubs to the other port while both are still paired on the same channel.&#xA;&#xA;   The second port is typically used with a different device such as a [Powered Up LED Light](https://brickset.com/sets/88005-1) which you can install into your Passenger Train and you'd control the train motor and the LED light independently; however, it's not possible to have both motor and light controls and control two independent trains all on the same channel."

What we do know is that the designers create the artwork for the boxes that the sets come in [sic; in] and after that the parent company (Disney) signs off on the designs!&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;That's it exactly! We provide the images to the parent company and they do have a say in what appears on the box, once we get the okay from them we print them off.

Unfortunately, I am still in the process of doing so.&#xA;&#xA;What the above replies mean is that (1) designer decided to design a box a certain way (possibly for aesthetic reasons), (2) Disney approved the design, (3) this is the design you see on your boxes.

Their imaginations will also be fired up in a series of workshops, where they’ll be challenged to rebuild the world they see around them.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;“My whole career has been about working with brilliant, creative people and seeing where our imaginations take us. Rebuild The World, is a wonderful opportunity to help inspire the next generation of creators who will come up with their own ideas to shape the future of everything from the way we live to the music we listen to,” explains Mark Ronson.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;The LEGO Group believes that every child is born with incredible creative problem-solving capabilities, but we need to act now to nurture that creativity so that it can become a lifelong skill, as the future depends on it.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;Inspiring creativity is more critical and urgent than ever. The World Economic Forum Future of Jobs Report places creative problem solving in the top three skills the job market will require from 2020. Imaginative play helps children learn how to innovate, problem solve and think critically throughout their lives.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;Mark Ronson will also be joined by representatives from other creative fields to discuss why it’s more important than ever to help nurture creativity as a key skill so that the builders of tomorrow can succeed in an ever-changing world.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;Julia Goldin, Chief Marketing Officer, The LEGO Group, said: “Rebuild The World is all about seeing where imagination takes us and celebrating the natural creativity of children. We want to encourage kids around the world to develop and retain these skills as they grow older. With this campaign, we want to inspire people of all ages to play and unleash their creativity to create a world of infinite possibilities.”&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;Meanwhile, British designer and inventor Dominic Wilcox will lead a series of Rebuilder Workshops on the 17th September. He, along with two other creatives, will challenge kids to reimagine iconic landmarks, invent new gadgets and solve everyday problems – all with LEGO bricks. Other LEGO professionals will lend a hand, helping the kids bring their incredible ideas to life.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;“Who knows what will come out of today… a house with a hot air balloon for a roof?  A car with long legs to jump over the traffic ahead? No one sees the world quite like children so we’re excited to see what they come up with,” says Dominic Wilcox. &#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;Kids around the world can also take part by sharing their creations on the LEGO Life app or by visiting [www.lego.com/rebuild-the-world-challenge][1]&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;The LEGO system has long been the ultimate platform for creative expression and creative problem solving. Children don’t just imagine what to build, they can build and rebuild. Experiment. Fail. Break the rules. Fail and Try again… This is the cycle of human creativity and the essence of the LEGO System in Play.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;Now, we’re going even further. Through Rebuild The World, we want to inspire children to unleash their creativity, join the Rebuild The World challenge and rebuild a world of endless possibilities for real.  Learn more by visiting [www.lego.com/rebuild-the-world][2]&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;**About the campaign**&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;Rebuild The World is a fully integrated global campaign which will be featured across a variety of channels including TV, digital, cinemas and out of home. The LEGO Group will also be hosting a series of high profile public events in cities around the where children and grown-ups will be invited to build and rebuild with LEGO bricks to make the world a little brighter. This includes using LEGO bricks to complete a giant heart on the side of the East Side Gallery in Berlin [www.LEGOnewsroom.de][3]&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;The campaign was created by the LEGO Group’s internal agency with BETC Paris and the film was directed by the multi award-winning Traktor collective. It’s a fun-filled adventure that follows the chase between a clever rabbit and an unlucky hunter and unfolds in the kind of world that only LEGO play could create. Every character, animal and vehicle is based on an existing or past LEGO toy, so heads spin 360 degrees, everyday objects are outsized, and a boat can suddenly fly with a little help from a palm tree.&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.lego.com/rebuild-the-world-challenge&#xA;  [2]: https://www.lego.com/rebuild-the-world&#xA;  [3]: https://www.LEGOnewsroom.de" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

You can tell old and new tracks apart by the colour: the older ones are black, while the tracks we currently make are grey.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; While the different tracks can be used together, we do recommend alternating between them since the older, black tracks have less grip. If you’re building a track with a bridge, we’d suggest using newer rails around the slope.&#xA;&#xA;Their recommendation for using grey around the slope may be aimed at the motorised options so that the train isn't slipping in the build up to the ramp, or skidding at the bottom.&#xA;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.lego.com/en-gb/service/help/products/themes-sets/duplo/duplo-train-track-compatibility-408100000007964" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Things could have changed since then.)&#xA;&#xA;Does anyone know?&#xA;&#xA;  [1]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/1901/why-does-lego-state-the-number-of-parts-on-us-boxes-but-not-in-europe" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Why? Because being sustainable is good for the planet! We want to make bricks out of things that we can grow again or are recycled. This is not easy as we want sustainable LEGO bricks to have the same high quality that you are used to, but what we know is this: big ideas may start small, but they will help us build a greener planet one brick at a time.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; ## Reduce, Reuse, Recycle&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; At the LEGO Group, we want to play our part and make a positive impact on society and the planet, which our children will inherit, and it is this focus on future generations that drives our work. We believe we have a responsibility to minimise the environmental impact of our operations. However for us, minimising is not enough, we want to aim for zero environmental impact on the planet.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; The LEGO Group aims to send zero waste to landfill by 2025, and in 2018 recycled 93% of all waste from our operations. Additionally, 100% of all plastic waste produced during the moulding of LEGO® bricks was recycled. This includes reusing some of the plastic resin in our own processes, as well as sending some of the waste to suppliers to be recycled and turned into other plastic products.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; ## We’re big fans of wind power!&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; We’re proud of our achievement of being 100% balanced by renewable energy, due to the investments made in offshore wind farms in Germany and the UK by KIRKBI A/S – parent company of the LEGO Group. In 2018, the energy output from our investments in renewables was greater than the energy used at LEGO® factories, offices and stores.&#xA;&#xA;I am not aware of nor was I able to find a similar effort being made by Mega Bloks, though I suppose it's possible they are doing it without advertising.&#xA;&#xA;# Disposal&#xA;&#xA;As far as the environmental impact of the product when it reaches a landfill, it's a bit tougher to answer that question. [It's unclear how different the  plastics the two companies uses is][2], and what the impact of those plastics is. The amount of plastic each company might use for a given piece might also differ. One thing I can say though is that LEGO is much more likely to be repurposed as it holds an after-market value much better.&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.lego.com/en-us/aboutus/responsibility/sustainability/&#xA;  [2]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/2128/how-is-the-lego-plastic-different-from-megablok-plastic&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

On the same topic, many door elements have working hinges and the tiny fences could be used to separate tiny gardens and to keep tiny animals from crossing over. (Caveat: almost all animals that are small enough that can't just step over it can probably climb over or fit through the holes)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Possibly the most boring example of all: the [weighted brick][29] does indeed weight quite a lot due to a metal insert and is thus usable as counterweight.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=71155#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://rebrickable.com/parts/73092/magnet-cylindrical/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://brickset.com/parts/design-76543&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://brickset.com/parts/design-87945&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://brickset.com/parts/design-98785&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://brickset.com/sets/8878-1/Rechargeable-Battery-Box&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://brickset.com/parts/design-19106&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://brickset.com/parts/design-61403&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://brickset.com/sets/71312-1/Ekimu-the-Mask-Maker&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: https://brickset.com/sets/8963-1/Rock-Wrecker&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: https://brickset.com/parts/design-43364&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: https://brickset.com/parts/design-6041&#xD;&#xA;  [13]: https://brickset.com/sets/5311-1/Two-2-x-2-Plates-with-Wire-25-6-cm&#xD;&#xA;  [14]: https://brickset.com/parts/design-21655&#xD;&#xA;  [15]: https://brickset.com/parts/design-61929&#xD;&#xA;  [16]: https://brickset.com/parts/design-74982&#xD;&#xA;  [17]: https://brickset.com/parts/design-88355&#xD;&#xA;  [18]: https://brickset.com/parts/design-19474&#xD;&#xA;  [19]: https://brickset.com/parts/design-19475&#xD;&#xA;  [20]: https://brickset.com/parts/design-75974&#xD;&#xA;  [21]: http://www.brickfactory.info/scans/0009000/9641/030.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [22]: https://brickset.com/parts/design-76537&#xD;&#xA;  [23]: https://brickset.com/parts/design-47373&#xD;&#xA;  [24]: https://brickset.com/parts/category-Technic/tag-Gear?query=gear&#xD;&#xA;  [25]: https://brickset.com/parts/design-10035&#xD;&#xA;  [26]: https://brickset.com/parts/design-2551&#xD;&#xA;  [27]: https://brickset.com/parts/design-28925&#xD;&#xA;  [28]: https://brickset.com/parts/design-62792&#xD;&#xA;  [29]: https://brickset.com/parts/design-73843" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Lego does not and will not make SWAT content, and besides that, the truck is a rather low-quality build, so it's certainly not &quot;from a set&quot;.

You can stick a loose axle through the ground under the up-and-down mechanism as seen [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTrLNLMI_Ek&amp;t=29s) and then you can put a technic connector on the end (might give compromise to looks) and stick that fountain part in the other end. Most minifig utensils fit not too loose and not too tight in axle connectors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/OpSXl.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/nsPo5.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ABdp9.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/jMFLv.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/1H5Vz.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I recommend that you line up all your gears on a technic beam and stick axles through them (and obviously bushes so they don't fall out). You also need to be using the correct gears. In other words, the ones you're using seem incompatible with each other, you need to find gears that are designed to work together such as [this gear][1] with [this gear][2] combined and [this gear][3] with [this gear][4] combined. Also, make sure that any other Lego bricks are not interfering with the gear train. [More info about gear trains][5].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here is an example of what I mean:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![gear][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you can see there are no bushes attached to the axle, but that's because I'm using [axles with stop][7]. I lined up my gears on a beam without putting them too far or too close from each other and now they freely spin with no problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You also wonder how to make your engine faster. If using one single big gear and another small gear together is not fast enough, try adding some more. I will show you one way of doing this step-by-step.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][8]][8]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Above is one big gear and one smaller gear, which is considerably faster than without any gears at all (unless you use the smaller gear as input gear, which gives opposite effect). If it is not fast enough for you, then we will expand the gear train to make it faster.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][9]][9]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now there is another big gear on top of the small one. This is because another small gear will follow after it, which will be almost twice as fast as the previous small gear. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][10]][10]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now there is the smaller gear. As I already said, it will be faster than the previous one due to the size of the other gears following it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][11]][11]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now we put a bush under it to prevent it from slipping. You might think I could've put another big gear there instead, but *no*, I can't, because it will ruin the gear train and jam it up. The gear train will therefore continue on the other side of the beam, like so:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][12]][12]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A big gear was placed on the other side of the beam to continue the gear train, and of course, a smaller gear will follow after it. But keep in mind that the smaller gear should be on the *right* axle from the bigger gear, not the *left*, because the axles on the left are already controlled by gears and you may end up twisting the axle or breaking the teeth off of the gears above them. It is also worth noting that putting too many gears will make it too hard for the motor to move them due to the heavy load of overall friction between them, so don't try to make it too fast.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Update:** Here's another picture of some example gear trains taken from [this answer](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/11644/15028).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![geartrains][13]][13]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=10928#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3648#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=32498#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=32270#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/4732/which-is-faster-m-motor-or-xl-motor#comment17972_14929&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/IYpd5.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=24316&amp;name=Technic,%20Axle%203%20with%20Stop&amp;category=%5BTechnic,%20Axle%5D#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/jLSpP.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/610ZB.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/w34od.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/SIuJY.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/TEgir.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [13]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/wOA9Y.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I recommend that you line up all your gears on a technic beam and stick axles through them (and obviously bushes so they don't fall out). You also need to be using the correct gears. In other words, the ones you're using seem incompatible with each other, so you need to find gears that are designed to work together such as [this gear][1] with [this gear][2] combined and [this gear][3] with [this gear][4] combined. Also, make sure that any other Lego bricks are not interfering with the gear train. [More info about gear trains][5].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here is an example of what I mean:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![gear][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you can see there are no bushes attached to the axle, but that's because I'm using [axles with stop][7]. I lined up my gears on a beam without putting them too far or too close from each other and now they freely spin with no problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You also wonder how to make your engine faster. If using one single big gear and another small gear together is not fast enough, try adding some more. I will show you one way of doing this step-by-step.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][8]][8]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Above is one big gear and one smaller gear, which is considerably faster than without any gears at all (unless you use the smaller gear as input gear, which gives opposite effect). If it is not fast enough for you, then we will expand the gear train to make it faster.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][9]][9]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now there is another big gear on top of the small one. This is because another small gear will follow after it, which will be almost twice as fast as the previous small gear. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][10]][10]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now there is the smaller gear. As I already said, it will be faster than the previous one due to the size of the other gears following it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][11]][11]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now we put a bush under it to prevent it from slipping. You might think I could've put another big gear there instead, but *no*, I can't, because it will ruin the gear train and jam it up.

I recommend that you line up all your gears on a technic beam and stick axles through them (and obviously bushes so they don't fall out). You also need to be using the correct gears. In other words, the ones you're using seem incompatible with each other, so you need to find gears that are designed to work together such as [this gear][1] with [this gear][2] combined and [this gear][3] with [this gear][4] combined. Also, make sure that any other Lego bricks are not interfering with the gear train. [More info about gear trains][5].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here is an example of what I mean:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![gear][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you can see there are no bushes attached to the axle, but that's because I'm using [axles with stop][7]. I lined up my gears on a beam without putting them too far or too close from each other and now they freely spin with no problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You also wonder how to make your engine faster. If using one single big gear and another small gear together is not fast enough, try adding some more. I will show you one way of doing this step-by-step.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][8]][8]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Above is one big gear and one smaller gear, which is considerably faster than without any gears at all (unless you use the smaller gear as input gear, which gives opposite effect). If it is not fast enough for you, then we will expand the gear train to make it faster.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][9]][9]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now there is another big gear on top of the small one. This is because another small gear will follow after it, which will be almost twice as fast as the previous small gear. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][10]][10]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now there is the smaller gear. As I already said, it will be faster than the previous one due to the size of the other gears following it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][11]][11]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now we put a bush under it to prevent it from slipping. You might think I could've put another big gear there instead, but *no*, I can't, because it will ruin the gear train and jam it up. The gear train will therefore continue on the other side of the beam, like so:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][12]][12]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A big gear was placed on the other side of the beam to continue the gear train, and of course, a smaller gear will follow after it. But keep in mind that the smaller gear should be on the *right* axle from the bigger gear, not the *left*, because the axles on the left are already controlled by gears and you may end up twisting the axle or breaking the teeth off of the gears above them. It is also worth noting that putting too many gears will make it too hard for the motor to move them due to the heavy load of overall friction between them, so don't try to make it too fast.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Update:** Here's another picture of some example gear trains taken from [this answer](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/11644/15028):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![geartrains][13]][13]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can also use [gear links][14] to make your gears faster while they are spread apart, as seen here:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![tehnciclinks][15]][15]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Just note that there are different variations of those gear links which are designed to work with different gears.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=10928#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3648#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=32498#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=32270#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/4732/which-is-faster-m-motor-or-xl-motor#comment17972_14929&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/IYpd5.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=24316&amp;name=Technic,%20Axle%203%20with%20Stop&amp;category=%5BTechnic,%20Axle%5D#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/jLSpP.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/610ZB.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/w34od.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/SIuJY.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/TEgir.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [13]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/wOA9Y.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [14]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3711#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [15]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/IRZqO.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Apparently the harpsichord in the example uses some mutilated pieces there (though the only mention of glue is for the lid).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also note the sound example.

Just stick the [bar holder /w clip](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=11090&amp;name=Bar%20Holder%20with%20Clip&amp;category=%5BBar%5D#T=C) on top of the bar and attach the fountain spray part, and you'll be done!

However, you can make notes on your set listings and say that you're willing to part out the set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In addition, there are sophisticated tools for buyers to create wanted lists and check which sellers have all or most of the parts they need. So, if for example, they are looking for several parts from the same set, sellers who have those parts will automatically show up for them. Sellers don't have to do anything extra besides listing the parts to have this feature active.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Based on my personal experience as a BrickLink seller, my suggestion would be to list the sets you have for a few months (sets sell well during the Christmas season, so you may want to list it until the end of the year). Then, if they doesn't sell, part them out and sell the parts individually.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, consider listing the sets on eBay. In general, sets sell quicker and for more than on eBay. eBay buyers are more casual LEGO fans and are usually looking for gift items, sets from their childhood, etc.. BrickLink buyers are more project-focused, and they are looking for specific parts for their custom projects and not whole sets. " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Let’s use the tire and rim example: you list these as individual parts but make them part of a superlot that contains both. If a buyer wants to buy just the tire, they cannot, because of the superlot, but you could put in a note on the lot saying that they can message you to break up the lot and purchase individually. The downside is that someone searching for the combination entry for the parts (what you called a ‘set’) but not for the individual parts will not find your store.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Alternatively, you can list both (set and individual parts) and split the available amount across both (so if you have 6 tire and rim combos, you list 3 tires, 3 rims and 3 tire-and-rim sets) with a note on each saying that you have more available upon request. You can occasionally adjust quantities of each as you sell through them. Again, there is a search downside: if someone is looking for 4 tires and is excluding partial lots, they might not find your store.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Final alternative is just to commit to one or the other (I suggest based on the sales volume in the price guide) and see where that gets you.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If it makes any difference, I typically search for both the combo part and the individual parts, so I would find your store regardless."

I usually won't count Doctor Octopus as one, though. But I'll count it this time. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The very first minifigure to be able to hold more than 2 tools is Doctor Octopus, from the &quot;Spider-Man&quot; theme from 2004. This was achieved by building a harness that goes on the neck. This version appeared [in 4 sets][1], all in different variants.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Image of set 4857 - Doc Ock's Fusion Lab, showing the harness][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It should also be noted he received a 4+ figure version, which is aimed to kids 4 and above. This version is not exactly a &quot;minifigure&quot;. His tentacle harness is built into the figure, and is not removable. This one was released [in 2 sets][3]. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2012 brings another Doc Ock, based on the Ultimate Spiderman TV show, using a similar trick as the 2003 version. This minifigure only appears in [one limited edition set][5].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The [2019 version][6] includes a simplified harness with droid arms, significantly restricting movement, which was reverted [in 2020][7] to a design closer to the original.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][8]][8][![enter image description here][9]][9]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The next multi-armed minifigure is General Grievous from the &quot;Star Wars&quot; theme, hailing from the 2005 &quot;Revenge of the Sith&quot; subtheme. He was made out of a specialized head and torso; however, his legs and arms are common droid parts, with 4 of these arms attached to the special torso. This version appears [in 2][10] [sets][11], though [one][10] is more highly sought after due to Grievous having an exclusive cape in that one. Both versions came with his iconic lightsabers, but his arm posability are rather limited; they only move sideways, and their wrists don't hinge.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][12]][12]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Grievous gets a re-release in 2010 as part of the Clone Wars subtheme. This was, accuracy wise, a major leap. He was composed completely out of exclusive pieces. Now his arms hinge up and down, but like a lot of other LEGO robots, his wrists still don't turn. Also, his second pair of arms attach to the first pair, giving a rather awkward looking angle and less posability. This version appears in 4 sets: [8095][13], [9515][14], [75040][15] and [75199][16].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][17]][17]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Next, we have Frenzy. Frenzy is a Space Police Minifigure released in 2009. He was a large step forward to the original Grievous. He had a special molded head that goes over his regular, albeit uniquely printed, Minifigure torso. This extra head has a twist: it has room to accommodate a pair of droid arms, giving him 4 arms, although the upper two has little use, since their grip is permanently sideways. Still, it's a step up. Frenzy only appears in [one set][18].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][19]][19]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2011 brings about Samukai, the former king of the underworld of the Ninjago theme. Samukai is similar to the other skeleton soldiers, but with a massive head that, like Frenzy, fits over his torso and has room for arms. As an addition though, his upper jaw and lower jaw is separate, so he can open his mouth. His head is designed so it can snugly accommodate a second row of skeleton arms. Samukai's top-heavy stature caused by his head prevents him from getting his own spinner, thus making Samukai only appear in [2, very large Ninjago sets][20] from 2011.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][21]][21]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In 2012, Garmadon, Ninjago's antagonist, becomes four-armed through less-than-known means. He is the one I truly consider the &quot;first&quot; four armed minifigure. He had a specialized body extension piece that goes over his torso, which is the same as the one in 2011, and a head that goes on that torso extension. He appears in 2 sets, both following suit as Samukai, in the sense that it appears in [2 very][22] [large sets][23]. 2013 has a very similar Garmadon, except for a different helmet and staff. This variant appears in [1 set][24].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][25]][25]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another Minifigure is four armed in 2013, and once again it is from Ninjago. He is General Kozu, general of the stone army. He also utilizes a torso extension like Garmadon, but a different mold. Like a lot of characters in the 2013 Ninjago wave, he is exclusive to [1 set][26].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][27]][27]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Last, but certainly not least, is another Star Wars minifigure named Pong Krell. He uses a similar torso extension as Garmadon or Kozu, but his alien head was incorporated to the extension. He carries his iconic twin double sided lightsabers, and, like many Star Wars figures, is exclusive to [one set][28].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][29]][29]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I know this answer is pretty long, but it's very comprehensive. Please edit it if I miss something, or I wrote something wrongly. Bear in mind that all these minifigures can hold conventional minifigure tools.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://brickset.com/sets/tag-Doctor-Octopus/theme-Spider-Man&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/TqWQ3.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://brickset.com/sets/theme-4-Juniors/subtheme-Spider-Man&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/DJm0V.png&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://brickset.com/sets/6873-1/Spider-Man-s-Doc-Ock-Ambush&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://brickset.com/sets/76134-1/Spider-Man-Doc-Ock-Diamond-Heist&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://brickset.com/sets/76148-1/Spider-Man-vs-Doc-Ock&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/u7dvn.png&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/TCKpL.png&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: https://brickset.com/sets/7255-1/General-Grievous-Chase&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: https://brickset.com/sets/7656-1/General-Grievous-Starfighter&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/EeBht.png&#xD;&#xA;  [13]: https://brickset.com/sets/8095-1/General-Grievous-Starfighter&#xD;&#xA;  [14]: https://brickset.com/sets/9515-1/Malevolence&#xD;&#xA;  [15]: https://brickset.com/sets/75040-1/General-Grievous-Wheel-Bike&#xD;&#xA;  [16]: https://brickset.com/sets/75199-1/General-Grievous-Combat-Speeder&#xD;&#xA;  [17]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/AzUlf.png&#xD;&#xA;  [18]: https://brickset.com/sets/5971-1/Gold-Heist&#xD;&#xA;  [19]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/OM31R.png&#xD;&#xA;  [20]: https://brickset.com/sets/tag-Samukai&#xD;&#xA;  [21]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/WDru6.png&#xD;&#xA;  [22]: https://brickset.com/sets/9450-1/Epic-Dragon-Battle&#xD;&#xA;  [23]: https://brickset.com/sets/9446-1/Destiny-s-Bounty&#xD;&#xA;  [24]: https://brickset.com/sets/70505-1/Temple-of-Light&#xD;&#xA;  [25]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/1lstg.png&#xD;&#xA;  [26]: https://brickset.com/sets/70504-1/Garmatron&#xD;&#xA;  [27]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Wn5Vm.png&#xD;&#xA;  [28]: https://brickset.com/sets/75004-1/Z-95-Headhunter&#xD;&#xA;  [29]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/AAaEd.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

All joints (due to the angles they make), and hence the parts, have a “preferred” direction of travel and these all coincide with the direction they must travel for the mechanism to work smoothly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**From curved to straight**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![From curved to straight][19]][19]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When moving the switch rails from the curved branch back to the straight branch, the reverse of the motion shown in the annotated photograph above should happen. However, the joint highlighted has a problem. This joint is very close to a “point of singularity”, that is, where the joint is in such a state that it can move one way or the other without preference. If it moves in the direction of the red arrow, the mechanism will effectively lock the switch rails, if in the direction of the green arrow, the switch rails will change to the correct position. Due to the slight wear on the parts in this particular switch, the joint has actually gone past the point of singularity “in the wrong direction” and its preferred direction is now upwards! (This also explains why you can sometimes get a stuck switch to work by placing on its long straight edge and gently tapping it, as gravity will pull the joint back the correct way.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;***Disassembly Procedure***&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It would appear from external inspection that the baseplate can be removed from the track bed by simply turning the switch upside down, releasing the five retaining clips (see underside image above) and prising the baseplate up and out. If you attempt this it will not work (even if you manage to release all five clips at the same time) as the baseplate is also glued to the trackbed at various places.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Baseplate retaining clips**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Whether the five retaining clips were originally intended to fully hold the baseplate to the track bed or whether they were only intended to hold the two parts together while the glue dried is unclear. Whatever their original purpose all they successfully do while trying to part the baseplate from the trackbed is to get in the way.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Given that it is almost impossible to hold them in the unclipped position while freeing the glued parts and that they are likely to fracture due to stress while freeing the glue, it is easiest to carefully cut the lip from each clip thereby releasing the baseplate from their grasp.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Glued supports**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With the retaining clips removed it is now necessary to part the glued supports. Using a blunt thin wedge (such as a jewellers screwdriver), carefully insert it between the baseplate and the trackbed at the end of the straight branch and lever the baseplate upwards. Take care not to cause stress marks. If the baseplate won’t lift, don’t force it, try the end of the curved branch, don’t force it, try a different place on the end, try slightly down one side, don’t force it, try the other side, try further down a side, and don’t force it. Eventually the glued joint between the trackbed and the top of the support at the end of a branch will fail and the baseplate will lift sufficiently to get a long bladed craft knife in. Carefully using the craft knife separate the trackbed from the glued supports at the end of each branch and around the area where the frog would be on a standard two-rail switch. Don’t try to cut through the supports with the craft knife, use the blade to apply pressure where the top of the support has been glued to the trackbed – as if you were trying to cut through the glue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Photo of the removed baseplate, highlighted to indicate the position of the glued supports.][20]][20]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Photo of the removed baseplate, highlighted to indicate the position of the glued supports.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Once sufficient supports have been release it is possible to start removing the trip levers, lever rods, switch wheel and switch. Doing this provides more room to work inside the switch and also reduces the chance of damage to an internal part should the craft knife slip.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The glued long supports by the straight edge of the switch should be attempted last. Take extra care over these as you have to prise the trackbed and baseplate quite a long way apart to reach the knife all the way from the other side and this will cause a large amount of stress on the curved side wall of the trackbed. This is not made any easier by the fact that this is the wall with the three switch rail access slots in it which weaken the wall.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It took me a good hour and a half to fully separate the baseplate from the trackbed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;***Assembly Procedure***&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Before re-inserting the internal sub-parts, using a sharp craft knife, carefully de-burr the supports, underside of the trackbed and any place where the blade slipped. Then remove all swarf from the parts, either with a lint free cloth or by blowing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Insert parts**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Replace the switch rails (point blades) if you removed them. Turn the trackbed upside down and insert the sub-parts starting with the switch wheel. Make sure that the switch wheel fully engages with both the spring and the switch rails. Insert the trip levers into their slots. Insert the switch onto its runner and connect to the straight branch trip lever. Insert the trip levers into their slots and join the curved branch trip lever to the switch wheel and the straight branch trip lever to the manual switch with the lever rods. Finally replace the baseplate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;**Test operation**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Before re-gluing the baseplate check the operation of the switch. The only real mistake you can make is to use the wrong slot in the switch wheel to engage the switch rails. If you do this the switch rails will not fully travel to the straight position but stop about 3/8ths of an inch short.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Glue baseplate**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Important note: Observe all usage instructions and hazard warnings while using liquid glue.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To complete assembly it is necessary to glue the baseplate back to the trackbed. One option would be to apply a tiny blob of plastic model glue to the top of the supports released during disassembly. However, this runs the risk that the glue will spread where it is not wanted and seize an internal part or that an internal part will be dislocated from its correct position while the baseplate is inserted.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is therefore preferable to “dry assemble” the switch and use liquid glue (also known as MEK) to secure the baseplate to the trackbed. Check the internal parts one final time (for burrs and swarf) and assemble the switch. Test the operation and then use some temporary means to hold the switch together. I use copper wire, metal paper clips (the big ones with arms that fold over to open them) and modellers G-clamps with soft metal faces (and not elastic bands, sticky tape or masking tape as I’ve managed to glue all of these to the plastic models in my youth!) Once the switch is held temporarily, turn it over and make sure it still works (and doesn’t rattle!), then, when satisfied that all is correct, turn it back over and using sparing amounts of liquid glue (and being aware of where any excess will run) glue the baseplate to the trackbed.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;***Thoughts***&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Lubrication**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As all the internal moving parts are plastic there seems little to be gained from attempting to lubricate a “sticking” switch. The “sticking” is most likely to be cause by wear on the bearings/sliders or from foreign matter causing an obstruction. If the former, there is very little that can be done. If the latter, a strong blast of air (from one of those cans of air for cleaning computer keyboards) is probably a better bet as most lubricants (being sticky themselves) will only cause the foreign matter to combine into larger obstructions or aggravate the situation by attracting dust, etc into the internal mechanism. Also, the most obvious places to apply lubrication (in the switch running groove, on the lever rod bearings, on the switch wheel bearing and slot and under the trip levers) are almost impossible to reach without disassembling the switch.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Design – Brilliant or Flawed?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On initial inspection the design of the internal mechanism seems brilliant – economy of parts, reuse of parts between left and right switches and simplicity of function. However, I believe that there is a major design flaw in the design that failed to allow for normal wear over the life of the switch. The position of bearing for the lever rod on the switch wheel is very close to a point of singularity. This means that as the bearings wear the mechanism (when activated from the trip lever on the curved branch running rail) can either change the switch rails to straight or lock them in position.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Do you need to replace everything?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only internal parts needed are the switch wheel and spring. With just these two parts the switch rails can be moved from straight to curved to straight by “the big hand” and will lock in position. Adding the manual switch enables the switch rails to be changed from the side and adds the possibility for motorised/pneumatic operation. The curved branch trip mechanism seems to cause the most problems (and was totally jammed on the switch I disassembled that gave rise to this document) and is beginning to fail on a number of other monorail switches I have. I therefore omitted the trip lever and connecting rod when I reassembled my switch. This is not a problem for me as the curved branch of this switch enters a siding, so a train should never be set to run through it when set to the wrong direction.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://web.archive.org/web/20150226152612/https://brickish.org/members/files/whoward/MonorailSwitchAnatomy.doc&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/SdPtP.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/IqWZH.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/yBwv1.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/NF4vD.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/C6l8L.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/IHPvQ.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/z2u9y.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/754hy.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/lcici.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/UrTOS.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Hoq5h.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [13]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/yiwZ6.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [14]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/pEQWa.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [15]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/jJHSt.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [16]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/S1Nje.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [17]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/nK3CZ.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [18]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/uXW2f.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [19]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/aTn6D.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [20]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/zgRLn.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

The official [LEGO BLE docs][2] don't go into this level of detail about the voltage sensor.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are a couple speculative possibilities:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- It is common for analog to digital converters to have different modes of operation that trade off speed and accuracy. VLT L and VLT S could make use of different sampling modes and/or averaging. For example, ST discusses using averaging to improve their ADC accuracy [here][3] for the ST32 chips used in Powered Up parts.&#xD;&#xA;- L and S could represent values at different stages in the power subsystem (e.g. regulated voltage vs battery voltage).&#xD;&#xA;- These could be reserved for use in devices with multiple monitored cells. SPIKE Prime and Mindstorms both use 2 lithium cells in series. These cells are monitored individually, and it could be useful to access their values separately. This doesn't necessarily apply to Control+, but parts of the firmware are likely shared across devices.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I wish I had a better answer for you, but that's the best I could find from digging around.

For reading the sensor values, I got some really useful hints from [this German-language article][3].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Anyway, this means it is now almost possible to build a remote controlled car with steering. The only thing that is missing is some way to verify that the steering is in neutral position. For this, it would be practical to have some way to read the current motor position (or angle) and/or to tell the motor to go to a certain position (or angle).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have tried this:&#xD;&#xA;- I have tried using some of the commands mentioned in [this piece of documentation][2]. However, none of them worked, except plain StartPower(Power). Given that the Guids mentioned in the document were not particularly helpful when trying to make the WeDo 2 hub work as expected, this document may not be very relevant here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - I have tried reading sensor values, but I did not get any values for the port that the motor is plugged into. For the two &quot;real&quot; WeDo sensors, one has to perform an initialization before they provide values. I do not know if or how it is possible to initialize the motor in order to provide its current position or angle.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - I have tried using the LegoDeviceSdk. But this does not seem to offer anything beyond &quot;turn with power X&quot; either.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Any ideas how I could get a motor position, or make the motor rotate to a desired position?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.dynamsoft.com/codepool/lego-wedo-motor-python-gui-linux.html&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://lego.github.io/lego-ble-wireless-protocol-docs/index.html&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Spielzeug-Roboter-mit-dem-Raspberry-Pi-steuern-4248807.html" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

As someone who grew up with the Designer Sets as a teenager, and still has many of them built to this day, I believe I can answer this question mostly, though there is still some I'm uncertain about which I'll note near the end of my answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From WB1 (links point to BrickInstructions.com):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The **Snail**, **Frog**, as well as the enemies **Crab** (of which the **Watercrab** is a palette swap), **Scorpion** and **Alligator** are from [4101 Wild Collection](https://lego.brickinstructions.com/en/lego_instructions/set/4101/Wild_Collection). Step-by-step instructions exist for the Crab, Scorpion and Alligator; the rest are inspirational builds that are simple and therefore should be easy to reverse-engineer. Notably, the Snail, Frog, Scorpion and Alligator can *all* be built simultaneously from a single copy of the set. The proportions are also all wrong in case that bothers you; namely the Scorpion is *monstrously oversized* compared to the rest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   I still have my Crab built from 17 years ago, so I hope you'll overlook the dust and grime still on it after a quick clean (click to enlarge):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   [![Crab](https://i.stack.imgur.com/qcUHd.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/F7Fjf.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The **Buggy**, **Dirtbuggy**, **Forklift** and **Gas Station** are from [4100 Maximum Wheels](https://lego.brickinstructions.com/en/lego_instructions/set/4100/Maximum_Wheels). Instructions exist for the Buggy's in-game model as well as the Dirtbuggy (which is actually a palette swap) and Forklift. The Buggy's info model is an inspirational build with no step-by-step instructions, and the Gas Station and Marina are different color variations on one inspirational side build seen on the cover art. The decals are exclusive to WB1 — Designer Sets don't have printed elements.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   I rebuilt the Forklift a few months ago:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   [![Forklift](https://i.stack.imgur.com/c9jNk.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/hBxvA.jpg) [![Forklift with forks raised](https://i.stack.imgur.com/yl9ai.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/8Gxpp.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The **Defender**, **Treebot** and **Repairbot** are from [4099 Robobots](https://lego.brickinstructions.com/en/lego_instructions/set/4099/Robobots). Instructions exist for the Defender and Treebot but not the Repairbot (you can see it on page 73). I built the Defender and Treebot when I was younger and I have to add that the Treebot is actually depicted in the set as an amphibious robot that can operate both underwater and on land, and it can be configured to different positions and not just standing upright. Unfortunately, upright its limbs don't support its weight very well, the joints being little more than single-hinge connection points.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   As for the Defender, despite what the scale of the in-game models suggests, it is much smaller than the Treebot — though it's got a *much bigger* brother in 4508 Titan XP. I just went and built the Defender so I could show it to you next to a minifig for scale:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   [![Defender with minifig for scale](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4pCam.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Og32I.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The **Bulldozer** and **Dumptruck** are from [4096 Micro Wheels](https://lego.brickinstructions.com/en/lego_instructions/set/4096/Micro_Wheels). Instructions exist for both models.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Instructions for the **Speedboat** can be found in [4505 Sea Machines](https://lego.brickinstructions.com/en/lego_instructions/set/4505/Sea_Machines).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Instructions for the **Tyrannosaurus Rex** can be found in [4507 Prehistoric Creatures](https://lego.brickinstructions.com/en/lego_instructions/set/4507/Prehistoric_Creatures). It is one of the main builds.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Instructions for the **Shark** can be found in [4506 Deep Sea Predators](https://lego.brickinstructions.com/en/lego_instructions/set/4508/Deep_Sea_Predators) (the predecessor of 31088 Deep Sea Creatures). It is one of the main builds. I rebuilt it in 2018 when I first exited my Dark Ages with 10404 Ocean's Bottom — here's a photo from my review of the latter:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   [![Shark](https://i.stack.imgur.com/AkH5S.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/XqWRy.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;WB1 units I couldn't identify:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The **Steamshovel** appears to have a body that's a palette swap of the Forklift's, but the vehicle as a whole doesn't appear to exist in any set. I can't identify exactly which digger bucket it's using so I might try to BrickLink it and see what set it might be. I'm guessing it's unique to the game.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The **Robot Lab** and **Guard Tower** don't bear any resemblance to anything I've seen in a Designer Set or X-Pod (at least, as an owner of the first wave of X-Pods).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The **Duck**, **Fish**, **Tugboat** and **Freighter** appear to be from LEGO Creator buckets from the same era. They certainly don't have the level of detail or part usage that Designer Set models are recognized for.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From WB2:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Instructions for the **Freezebot** can be found in [4881 Robo Platoon](https://lego.brickinstructions.com/en/lego_instructions/set/4881/Robo_Platoon) (which incidentally was Brickset's random set of the day [just last week](https://brickset.com/article/52840/random-set-of-the-day-robo-platoon)). It is one of the main builds.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Instructions for the **House** can be found in [4886 Building Bonanza](https://lego.brickinstructions.com/en/lego_instructions/set/4886/Building_Bonanza). It is the main build.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   However, despite being based on that same House, none of the other WB2 buildings actually appear in the set, except the Windmill, which only appears as an inspirational model with instructions for the actual mechanism for spinning the sails.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Instructions for the enemy **Lion** can be found in [4884 Wild Hunters](https://lego.brickinstructions.com/en/lego_instructions/set/4884/Wild_Hunters). It is one of the main builds.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Notably, all the Designer Sets in the final wave were given the Creator rebranding later in life. I wasn't there when it happened though — I had just entered my Dark Ages before that." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

  <row Id="48866" PostHistoryTypeId="5" PostId="15212" RevisionGUID="f2e32afb-c4b3-43bc-8675-0326389949ac" CreationDate="2020-08-03T08:47:20.783" UserId="11" Comment="added 271 characters in body" Text="This game represented the [LEGO Designer Sets](https://brickset.com/sets/theme-Creator/subtheme-Designer-Set) (Make &amp; Create) from 2003–2005, and so the majority of models are based on them (WB1 models are from the first and second waves, and WB2 the third wave). As someone who grew up with the game and the Designer Sets as a tween, and still has many of them built to this day, I believe I can answer this question mostly, though there is still some I'm uncertain about which I'll note near the end of my answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From WB1 (links point to BrickInstructions.com):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The **Snail**, **Frog**, as well as the enemies **Crab** (of which the **Watercrab** is a palette swap), **Scorpion** and **Alligator** are from [4101 Wild Collection](https://lego.brickinstructions.com/en/lego_instructions/set/4101/Wild_Collection). Step-by-step instructions exist for the Crab, Scorpion and Alligator; the rest are inspirational builds that are simple and therefore should be easy to reverse-engineer. Notably, the Snail, Frog, Scorpion and Alligator can *all* be built simultaneously from a single copy of the set. The proportions are also all wrong in case that bothers you; namely the Scorpion is *monstrously oversized* compared to the rest. Or... the proportions could all be just right, depending on your imagination.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   I still have my Crab built from 17 years ago, so I hope you'll overlook the dust and grime still on it after a quick clean (click to enlarge):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   [![Crab](https://i.stack.imgur.com/qcUHd.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/F7Fjf.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The **Buggy**, **Dirtbuggy**, **Forklift** and **Gas Station** are from [4100 Maximum Wheels](https://lego.brickinstructions.com/en/lego_instructions/set/4100/Maximum_Wheels). Instructions exist for the Buggy's in-game model as well as the Dirtbuggy (which is actually a palette swap) and Forklift. The Buggy's info model is an inspirational build with no step-by-step instructions, and the Gas Station and Marina are different color variations on one inspirational side build seen on the cover art. The decals are exclusive to WB1 — Designer Sets don't have printed elements.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   I rebuilt the Forklift a few months ago:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   [![Forklift](https://i.stack.imgur.com/c9jNk.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/hBxvA.jpg) [![Forklift with forks raised](https://i.stack.imgur.com/yl9ai.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/8Gxpp.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The **Defender**, **Treebot** and **Repairbot** are from [4099 Robobots](https://lego.brickinstructions.com/en/lego_instructions/set/4099/Robobots). Instructions exist for the Defender and Treebot but not the Repairbot (you can see it on page 73). I built the Defender and Treebot when I was younger and I have to add that the Treebot is actually depicted in the set as an amphibious robot that can operate both underwater and on land, and it can be configured to different positions and not just standing upright. Unfortunately, upright its limbs don't support its weight very well, the joints being little more than single-hinge connection points.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   As for the Defender, despite what the scale of the in-game models suggests, it is much smaller than the Treebot — though it's got a *much bigger* brother in 4508 Titan XP. I just went and built the Defender so I could show it to you next to a minifig for scale:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   [![Defender with minifig for scale](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4pCam.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Og32I.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The **Bulldozer** and **Dumptruck** are from [4096 Micro Wheels](https://lego.brickinstructions.com/en/lego_instructions/set/4096/Micro_Wheels). Instructions exist for both models.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Instructions for the **Speedboat** can be found in [4505 Sea Machines](https://lego.brickinstructions.com/en/lego_instructions/set/4505/Sea_Machines).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Instructions for the **Tyrannosaurus Rex** can be found in [4507 Prehistoric Creatures](https://lego.brickinstructions.com/en/lego_instructions/set/4507/Prehistoric_Creatures). It is one of the main builds.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Instructions for the **Shark** can be found in [4506 Deep Sea Predators](https://lego.brickinstructions.com/en/lego_instructions/set/4508/Deep_Sea_Predators) (the predecessor of 31088 Deep Sea Creatures). It is one of the main builds.

As someone who grew up with the game and the Designer Sets as a tween, and still has many of them built to this day, I believe I can answer this question mostly, though there is still some I'm uncertain about which I'll note near the end of my answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From WB1 (links point to BrickInstructions.com):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The **Snail**, **Frog**, as well as the enemies **Crab** (of which the **Watercrab** is a palette swap), **Scorpion** and **Alligator** are from [4101 Wild Collection](https://lego.brickinstructions.com/en/lego_instructions/set/4101/Wild_Collection). Step-by-step instructions exist for the Crab, Scorpion and Alligator; the rest are inspirational builds that are simple and therefore should be easy to reverse-engineer. Notably, the Snail, Frog, Scorpion and Alligator can *all* be built simultaneously from a single copy of the set. The proportions are also all wrong in case that bothers you; namely the Scorpion is *monstrously oversized* compared to the rest. Or... the proportions could all be just right, depending on your imagination.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   I still have my Crab built from 17 years ago, so I hope you'll overlook the dust and grime still on it after a quick clean (click to enlarge):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   [![Crab](https://i.stack.imgur.com/qcUHd.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/F7Fjf.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The **Buggy**, **Dirtbuggy**, **Forklift** and **Gas Station** are from [4100 Maximum Wheels](https://lego.brickinstructions.com/en/lego_instructions/set/4100/Maximum_Wheels). Instructions exist for the Buggy's in-game model as well as the Dirtbuggy (which is actually a palette swap) and Forklift. The Buggy's info model is an inspirational build with no step-by-step instructions, and the Gas Station and Marina are different color variations on one inspirational side build seen on the cover art. The decals are exclusive to WB1 — Designer Sets don't have printed elements.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   I rebuilt the Forklift a few months ago:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   [![Forklift](https://i.stack.imgur.com/c9jNk.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/hBxvA.jpg) [![Forklift with forks raised](https://i.stack.imgur.com/yl9ai.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/8Gxpp.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The **Defender**, **Treebot** and **Repairbot** are from [4099 Robobots](https://lego.brickinstructions.com/en/lego_instructions/set/4099/Robobots). Instructions exist for the Defender and Treebot but not the Repairbot (you can see it on page 73). I built the Defender and Treebot when I was younger and I have to add that the Treebot is actually depicted in the set as an aquatic robot that operates underwater, and it can be configured to different positions and not just standing upright. Unfortunately, upright its two bottom/hind legs don't support its weight very well, the joints being little more than single-hinge connection points. It works much better on all fours.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   As for the Defender, despite what the scale of the in-game models suggests, it is much smaller than the Treebot — though it's got a *much bigger* brother in 4508 Titan XP. I just went and built the Defender so I could show it to you next to a minifig for scale:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   [![Defender with minifig for scale](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4pCam.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Og32I.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The **Bulldozer** and **Dumptruck** are from [4096 Micro Wheels](https://lego.brickinstructions.com/en/lego_instructions/set/4096/Micro_Wheels).

I can't identify exactly which digger bucket it's using so I might try to BrickLink it and see what set it might be. I'm guessing it's unique to the game.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - According to Alexander O'Mara, the **Robot Lab** appears to be a palette swap of an inspirational model from [4098 High Flyers](https://lego.brickinstructions.com/en/lego_instructions/set/4098/High_Flyers). Not exactly the place I would've looked...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The **Guard Tower** doesn't bear any resemblance to anything I've seen in a Designer Set or X-Pod (at least, as an owner of the first wave of X-Pods).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The **Duck**, **Fish**, **Tugboat** and **Freighter** appear to be from LEGO Creator buckets from the same era.

So stacking plates horizontally it in theory could be approximated by 3 plates, 4 plates, 3 plates.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Robot Lab][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/GsYeL.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I would plan on building a plywood box the right size.  If you go with cardboard boxes, get two of different sizes so they can be nested.  Cardboard boxes of adequate width will probably be really tall.  You should cut the vertical corners of the box to make it shorter when the top flaps are folded together.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then you need to find a material to go between the box and the model.  If you can get foam and cut it to shape that will be easier to deal with, but you could use bubble wrap or packing peanuts.  There's glue for bonding the foam to itself.  I've also used various sizes of towels for packing material around LEGO models.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Particularly if you use packing peanuts, make sure to bag the model before putting it in.

I suspect this is not a coincidence. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It would not be difficult to hook this up to something more modern, a 5V Arduino could probably hook up directly. For a Raspberry Pi you would want something to shift the levels, I'd probably use HCT logic running off 5V for the signals from the Pi to the interface A (this may not be strictly needed) and LVC logic running off 3.3V for the signals from the interface A to the Pi."

It's not always possible to find the rarest part but I can usually guess which parts are rare given how many of them I have in my collection.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For System sets I will usually ignore unmodified bricks, plates and tiles in common colours. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Example**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When I was trying to find the set in the example shown below from [this](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/8442/132) question. I ignored all the plates and the two black 1x1 studs as they were all common parts in standard colours.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Example photo][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only two parts remaining were the blue [Minifigure Seat (4079)][2] and the  blue [Steering Wheel (3829)][3].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From those two parts it was easy to identify it as a vehicle and with the arrangement of the pieces I could tell it was a four-stud wide vehicle. Since around 2005-2010 it has become more common for LEGO to produce vehicles 6 or 8 studs wide so I assumed it was a fairly old set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To identify these two pieces I used the [catalogue search on Bricklink][4], if I didn't know the name of these pieces I could have search by category, or if I knew the piece number (found often on the bottom of many parts) I could have searched for that as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Every piece on Bricklink has a list of 'Known Colors', the steering wheel had 222 set entries for the colour blue and the steering wheel had the minifgure seat had 68 results for the colour blue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Known Colours list][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I sorted the list by selecting 'Year Released' to 'Up' so that I would see the oldest sets first and set the preview mode to 'List with Images' so that I could see both a photo of the set and relevant information. (I also recommend using  'Thumbnail Gallery').&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Bricklink piece search results][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;**General Tips**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- The colours that I consider 'standard' are Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Black and White. These colours are probably the most common and are almost always included in bulk brick buckets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Around **2004**, the colour of light/dark grey and brown bricks were changed slightly. Modern grey bricks are often known as 'bley' because of their blueish tint. **Related:** [What is the bley (blay) color?][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Minifigure Tips**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- There was only one variation of the head for Minifigures prior to **1989**, the [classic smile head][8]. This piece continues to be used for classic releases as well as Modular sets although it is not as common. We can rule out any 'non-classic' minifigure heads as being after this year.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Minifigures with two-sided heads were not produced until **2001**.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- The first minifigures with realistic skin tones were released in **2003**. Only yellow minifigures were available previously. **Related:** [Why do some minifigs have yellow heads and some are flesh colored?][9]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [Microfigures][10] were first released in **2009**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/K4aCH.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4079&amp;name=Minifig,%20Utensil%20Seat%202%20x%202&amp;category=%5BMinifig,%20Utensil%5D#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3829c01&amp;name=Vehicle,%20Steering%20Stand%201%20x%202%20with%20Black%20Steering%20Wheel&amp;category=%5BVehicle%5D#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogTree.asp?itemType=P&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/9Rvv6.png&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/0O0nb.png&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/238/what-is-the-bley-blay-color&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3626bp01#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/287/why-do-some-minifigs-have-yellow-heads-and-some-are-flesh-colored&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/microfigure" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

So the savvy collector could buy the two missing figures (if they are interested in having them) for anywhere between 10 and 24€. This gives an approximation for the difference between the prices of a complete set and your incomplete one: the incomplete set would probably sell for about 39-53€, depending on which figures are missing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By plugging the correct value into the inequation you can then get the answer for your question as stated, but I think the most important conclusion is to use Bricklink for such price analysis and the realization that your asking price is probably too high for most of the informed buyers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=75150-1&amp;name=Vader%27s%20TIE%20Advanced%20vs.%20A-Wing%20Starfighter&amp;category=%5BStar%20Wars%5D%5BStar%20Wars%20Rebels%5D#T=S&amp;O=%7B%22iconly%22:0%7D&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=75150-1&amp;viewItemType=M" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I'm pretty sure I could assemble harder sets when I was 12 but it was going to be a multi-day build because I didn't have the focus to work on a set for three hours and I would probably lose the little pieces.

Lots of sources, including myself, have experienced the same thing - this particular chemistry of insulation ages poorly, no matter how well it's stored. Wires made circa 2003/2004 don't seem to have this issue - the insulation is less rubbery and more plasticy, and is still shiny like new to this day.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as repairing them goes, it's fairly simple and cheap, albeit a bit tedious. See [this reddit thread][1] and [this YouTube video][2]. The procedure which worked for me is as follows:  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Use a thin flathead screwdriver or knife blade to pry off the back of the connector. There's a little tab that holds it in place.  &#xD;&#xA; 2. The inside of the backplate has two ridges for guiding the wire out the back of the connector. Sand/cut these off - you'll need as much space to work with inside the connector as possible. I used a dremel.  &#xD;&#xA; 3. The old wires are not soldered to the connectors so they are easy to remove. They are held in place by two tiny forks which are pushed through the insulation to connect the metal inside.  &#xD;&#xA; 4. There is a little post in the center of the connector which the wire folded around. Twist it off with some needle-nose pliers.  &#xD;&#xA; 5. Cut some 24-gauge speaker cable to size. Does not need to be speaker cable, but most speaker cable I've seen has two leads side by side, like the original RCX cables. You can even use two separate insulated wires if you can't find double wire.&#xD;&#xA; 6. Attach the new wires to the metal contact pads inside the connector. This is the hardest part, because the amount of space inside the connector is very small; remember you have to put the backplate back on when you're done. I could not achieve the sharp fold of the original wires, so don't bother trying. I also could not achieve the solderless connection with the little metal forks - so I soldered the new wires to the pads.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    TIPS FOR SOLDERING:&#xD;&#xA;     - Use high heat and as little time as possible to melt the solder to the wire and contact pad. Applying heat for more than 1-2 seconds will deform the plastic on the top of the connector. No pressure; if you need to add more heat/solder, just make sure the contact pad is cool to the touch before you try again.  &#xD;&#xA;     - I like to ball up the bare wire at the end of the speaker cable and stuff it into the back of one of the metal studs, then melt solder over top.&#xD;&#xA;     - Don't bridge the gap between the two contact pads!  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;7. Once both wires are attached, add a small bead of plastic glue or epoxy on top of the two contact pads and the cable. The glue transfers force from the cable to the connector body instead of to your crappy solder joints.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;8. Reattach the backplate. It should snap into place with a little force, use the screwdriver again if you need to. Mop up any of the glue that squishes out around the backplate - especially make sure the metal contacts on the underside of the connector are clean! Test to make sure it works.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As I said, it's tedious, but this procedure is effective and creates a strong connection between the cable and the connector body. I'm currently repairing about 40-50 wires using this method to get a little more life out of a Mindstorms classroom set.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The RCX light sensors from this era suffer a similar problem because their cables are attached to the sensor body. They can be successfully repaired in a similar way (refer to that YouTube channel I linked).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.reddit.com/r/mindstorms/comments/gonzzt/lego_rcx_9v_wires_cracking/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7LwL71oYFE&amp;t=1s" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Use a thin flathead screwdriver or knife blade to pry off the back of the connector. There's a little tab that holds it in place.  &#xD;&#xA; 2. The inside of the backplate has two ridges for guiding the wire out the back of the connector. Sand/cut these off - you'll need as much space to work with inside the connector as possible. I used a dremel.  &#xD;&#xA; 3. The old wires are not soldered to the connectors so they are easy to remove. They are held in place by two tiny forks which are pushed through the insulation to connect the metal inside.  &#xD;&#xA; 4. There is a little post in the center of the connector which the wire folded around. Twist it off with some needle-nose pliers.  &#xD;&#xA; 5. Cut some 24-gauge speaker cable to size. Does not need to be speaker cable, but most speaker cable I've seen has two leads side by side, like the original RCX cables. You can even use two separate insulated wires if you can't find double wire.&#xD;&#xA; 6. Attach the new wires to the metal contact pads inside the connector. This is the hardest part, because the amount of space inside the connector is very small; remember you have to put the backplate back on when you're done. I could not achieve the sharp fold of the original wires, so don't bother trying. I also could not achieve the solderless connection with the little metal forks - so I soldered the new wires to the pads.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    TIPS FOR SOLDERING:&#xD;&#xA;     - Use high heat and as little time as possible to melt the solder to the wire and contact pad. Applying heat for more than 1-2 seconds will deform the plastic on the top of the connector. No pressure; if you need to add more heat/solder, just make sure the contact pad is cool to the touch before you try again.  &#xD;&#xA;     - I like to ball up the bare wire at the end of the speaker cable and stuff it into the back of one of the metal studs, then melt solder over top.&#xD;&#xA;     - Don't bridge the gap between the two contact pads!  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;7. Once both wires are attached, add a small bead of plastic glue or epoxy on top of the two contact pads and the cable. The glue transfers force from the cable to the connector body instead of to your crappy solder joints.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;8. Reattach the backplate. It should snap into place with a little force, use the screwdriver again if you need to. Mop up any of the glue that squishes out around the backplate - especially make sure the metal contacts on the underside of the connector are clean! Test to make sure it works.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As I said, it's tedious, but this procedure is effective and creates a strong connection between the cable and the connector body. I'm currently repairing about 40-50 wires using this method to get a little more life out of a Mindstorms classroom set.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The RCX light sensors from this era suffer a similar problem because their cables are attached to the sensor body. They can be successfully repaired in a similar way (refer to that YouTube channel I linked).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.reddit.com/r/mindstorms/comments/gonzzt/lego_rcx_9v_wires_cracking/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7LwL71oYFE&amp;t=1s" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I have yet to learn of any single copycat company that would go through the legal and technical trouble required to mold these onto every stud of every piece in a consistent fashion.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the piece has no studs to check or the markings are present and you still have doubts you can take a suitably strong light and magnifying lens and look for a trademark or a 4-5 digit part ID. [This on the right side][1] is a very obviously visible example, others might be much smaller and better hidden. A missing ID would obviously indicate a fake piece. But even if it is present you can cross-check the existing LEGO piece databases to see if the part ID does indeed represent the part you have.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Should a bootleg company go to the lengths to correctly add all such markings, you can still take a  known genuine part of the same design and check for any differences in dimensions. LEGO has notoriously tight tolerances when it comes to precise size. You can check the material as well, fakes could have different weight, sheen, flexibility, clutch power or could feel different to the touch.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And in the unthinkable case when a competitor manages to get all markings, dimension and material properties right, can evade all inherent lawsuits and their prices are not egregiously high then they maybe deserve to be used as &quot;real&quot; LEGO pieces :)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But only then ;)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sidenote: Old LEGO jewels (diamonds) don't have any ID or trademark on them, the newer ones do have both though.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*: On 2020-08-30 BrickFinder published [an article][2] about chinese fake LEGO bricks being found &quot;in the wild&quot; with *almost* perfect LEGO lettering on their studs.

It will take more time to assemble than you think. Especially as this is the first set and you need some time to learn the parts and how they work.&#xA;&#xA;For a challenging Technic set, my personal suggestion, is to look for set from much older &quot;studful&quot; Technic era. Something like 8880. It has fewer parts, but many more parts assembled per step and most of them are black. Don't follow this advice for your first ever Technic set though."

The box says the following:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Smart device required but not included&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, this set is not like Boost, where the intelligent brick just adds weight to your model without a smart device. Mario functions without being paired to a smart device. He can complete the course, collect coins, etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The most significant limitation without a smart device is that you can't update the firmware on Mario. The current factory firmware is fairly limited. It was missing several of the sound effects present in the current firmware, but most importantly, **the factory firmware was able to recognize elements in the starter course only**. Any elements from expansion sets were not recognized, and Mario would display the Bluetooth icon indicating that a firmware update is needed instead of taking the expected action:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; [![enter image description here][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is resolved by pairing Mario once with a smart device. These features are then permanently available without the need for a smart device to be present.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another important limitation for many sets like this that require a smart device is that **there are no paper instructions in the box**. Instructions are certainly helpful, but these sets are meant to be adjusted and rebuilt. The courses are made of very simple elements that you can likely put together by looking at the box. This might be challenging for a small child, but if an adult is willing to help out, it is possible to put these together without the on-device instructions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/oVsYY.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

You basically had to manually compare the images of the previous and the new step and figure out which parts from the big pile (there weren't build step sorted bags either) you had to place where. Together with sets being smaller and (maybe, but that's hard to say) using more pieces per build step this generally made instructions *a lot* thinner than they are today.

You basically had to visually compare the images of the previous step (or your actual build) and the new step and figure out which parts from the big pile (there weren't build step sorted bags either) you had to place where. Together with sets being smaller and (maybe, but that's hard to say) using more pieces per build step this generally made instructions *a lot* thinner than they are today.

There were tricks to remove some of the repetition (drawings were done on translucent [drafting film](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drafting_film) and could be duplicated optically, and templates and stencils were widely used).  Translucent film also means it was possible to work on an isometric grid behind the drawing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*2D* CAD software, while it dates back [to the 1950s](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_CAD_software), only became accessible, though still very expensive, around the time these 3D drawings were produced.  3D CAD/modelling with rendering is a 1990s invention, and now any fool can use it (e.g. me), and it can be made cheap and user-friendly enough to give away (e.g. Lego Digital Designer).  Rendering using something like POV-ray (which can still be used with LDraw) could take days for a single image on a fast PC in the 90s (though you wouldn't need to render like that for these illustrations).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, while it's hard to tell with the JPG artefacts and anti-aliasing, if you look closely at say the wheels in panel 8, they're not quite a perfect match; they would be if rendered from the same model."

The most widely known ones are the springs in the 731 series, such as the above mentioned 731c04 (Hard Spring) and its cousins 731c05 (Normal Spring) and 731c06 (Soft Spring), but there are other more specialized springs as well, such as 32181 (which comes in a soft and normal spring version) and even this “cute” little brick-sized spring (part [2695c01 Brick, Modified 1 x 2 x 2 1/3 with Spring Unit (Shock Absorber)][1]):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Let’s take a look at the two springs from set 42107, and compare them with a few of the above mentioned ones, namely 731c05 (Technic Shock Absorber 6.5L with Normal Spring in Light Gray), 731c06 (Technic Shock Absorber 6.5L with Soft Spring in Teal) and 32181c04 (Technic, Shock Absorber 10L Damped - Soft Spring in Trans-Clear).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are these 5 springs side-by-side:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you can see, there is some variance in dimensions. From left to right, the springs length in studs is 11, 6.5, 6.5, 6.5, and 10 respectively. Note that the three 731-series springs are 1 brick wide, whereas 32181 and 65151 are 2 bricks wide at their widest point, with 65151 being asymmetrical due to the top connection point sitting 1 brick lower than the top, and offset by 1 brick from the main shock absorber shaft.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now let’s look at how far these springs compress:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It was quite the struggle to get this group picture taken, as the power exerted by each spring was almost too much for the Technic pins holding them in place (and the half-a-stud offset of 731 is a bit of a challenge). As you can see, the compressed length of these shock absorbers is (from left to right) 9 studs, 5.5 studs, 5.5 studs, 5.5 studs and 7 studs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So there are more differences: while the 731-series only compresses by 1 stud, 65151 compresses by 2 studs, and 32181 even compresses by 3 studs (even though the uncompressed shock is 1 stud shorter than 65151!).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, let’s see how stiff these springs really are. As I am not a physicist, nor a materials engineer, my test setup is a bit archaic, but using baking weights I hoped to get an idea of how much weight it takes to fully compress the spring in each shock absorber. Here are some shots of various shocks undergoing testing:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The new absorber from 42107 (part 65151):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One of the 731 series springs (part 731c04 in this case):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you can see, some shocks needed more weight to fully compress than provide by my wife’s entire collection of baking weights, so I had to resort to more drastic solutions, such as adding dental guard cleaning powder jars. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The results of this test surprised me - it turns out that (at least with the springs I tested) the normal and soft spring versions of 731 and 32181 all take about 500-600g of weight to fully compress. I had expected that the soft spring version of 731 (731c06) to be able to carry less weight than the normal spring version (731c05), but my test shows it was able to carry a bit MORE weight than its Normal spring cousin.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With my methodology (placing too much weight on the springs, and then slowly removing weight until the spring started lifting the contraption up again) both 65151c01 and 731c04 handled up to 1.1kg in weight, while the other springs handled about half that weight.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Net, both shock absorbers in 42107 have the same strength but different features - the front absorber can travel 2 studs while the back absorber only travels 1 stud), and due to its offset connection point the front absorber (65151c01) has a rotational ability that the traditional 731 series shock absorbers miss. Also, as 65151c01 is manufactured with 3 different colors (pearl gold for the upper part, dark bluish gray for the shock and light bluish gray for the lower connection point) it blends better into the build of the Ducati Panigale. So why did LEGO create this part? Likely because it needed to look like the actual bike’s suspension, and no existing and in-production spring had the characteristics and looks needed to make the front assembly look proper.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, a few notes about part 32181. Did you know:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- It is a damped spring, so where the other springs jump back to their uncompressed state almost instantaneously, 32181c04 (and 32181c05) take about a second to do so.&#xD;&#xA;- Out of all the springs I’ve tested, 32181 is the only spring that allows for rotation on its main axis, which allows you to turn the lower connection point out of alignment with the upper connection point. This can be very useful for constructions where the shock absorber needs to connect to 2 parts that are perpendicular to each other.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=2605c01&amp;name=Brick,%20Modified%201%20x%202%20x%202%201/3%20with%20Spring%20Unit%20(Shock%20Absorber)&amp;category=%5BBrick,%20Modified%5D#T=S&amp;C=11&amp;O=%7B%22color%22:11,%22iconly%22:0%7D&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ujuSm.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/b48dD.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/9iocz.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/tYf01.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/A8ctR.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

This can be very useful for constructions where the shock absorber needs to connect to 2 parts that are perpendicular to each other.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are the full test results, for those who are interested:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][7]][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=2605c01&amp;name=Brick,%20Modified%201%20x%202%20x%202%201/3%20with%20Spring%20Unit%20(Shock%20Absorber)&amp;category=%5BBrick,%20Modified%5D#T=S&amp;C=11&amp;O=%7B%22color%22:11,%22iconly%22:0%7D&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ujuSm.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/b48dD.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/9iocz.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/tYf01.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/A8ctR.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/S1scS.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

The most widely known ones are the springs in the 731 series, such as the above mentioned 731c04 (Hard Spring) and its cousins 731c05 (Normal Spring) and 731c06 (Soft Spring), but there are other more specialized springs as well, such as 32181 (which comes in a soft and normal spring version) and even this “cute” little brick-sized spring (part [2695c01 Brick, Modified 1 x 2 x 2 1/3 with Spring Unit (Shock Absorber)][1]):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Let’s take a look at the two springs from set 42107, and compare them with a few of the above mentioned ones, namely 731c05 (Technic Shock Absorber 6.5L with Normal Spring in Light Gray), 731c06 (Technic Shock Absorber 6.5L with Soft Spring in Teal) and 32181c04 (Technic, Shock Absorber 10L Damped - Soft Spring in Trans-Clear).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are these 5 springs side-by-side:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you can see, there is some variance in dimensions. From left to right, the springs length in studs is 11, 6.5, 6.5, 6.5, and 10 respectively. Note that the three 731-series springs are 1 brick wide, whereas 32181 and 65151 are 2 bricks wide at their widest point, with 65151 being asymmetrical due to the top connection point sitting 1 brick lower than the top, and offset by 1 brick from the main shock absorber shaft.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now let’s look at how far these springs compress:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It was quite the struggle to get this group picture taken, as the power exerted by each spring was almost too much for the Technic pins holding them in place (and the half-a-stud offset of 731 is a bit of a challenge). As you can see, the compressed length of these shock absorbers is (from left to right) 9 studs, 5.5 studs, 5.5 studs, 5.5 studs and 7 studs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So there are more differences: while the 731-series only compresses by 1 stud, 65151 compresses by 2 studs, and 32181 even compresses by 3 studs (even though the uncompressed shock is 1 stud shorter than 65151!).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, let’s see how stiff these springs really are. As I am not a physicist, nor a mechanical engineer, my test setup is a bit archaic, but using baking weights I hoped to get an idea of how much weight it takes to fully compress the spring in each shock absorber. Here are some shots of various shocks undergoing testing:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The new absorber from 42107 (part 65151):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One of the 731 series springs (part 731c04 in this case):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you can see, some shocks needed more weight to fully compress than provide by my wife’s entire collection of baking weights, so I had to resort to more drastic solutions, such as adding dental guard cleaning powder jars. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The results of this test surprised me - it turns out that (at least with the springs I tested) the normal and soft spring versions of 731 and 32181 all take about 500-600g of weight to fully compress. I had expected the soft spring version of 731 (731c06) to be able to carry less weight than the normal spring version (731c05), but my test shows it was able to carry a bit MORE weight than its Normal spring cousin.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With my methodology (placing too much weight on the springs, and then slowly removing weight until the spring started lifting the contraption up again) both 65151c01 and 731c04 handled up to 1.1kg in weight, while the other springs handled about half that weight.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Net, both shock absorbers in 42107 have the same strength but different features - the front absorber can travel 2 studs while the back absorber only travels 1 stud), and due to its offset connection point the front absorber (65151c01) has a rotational ability that the traditional 731 series shock absorbers miss. Also, as 65151c01 is manufactured with 3 different colors (pearl gold for the upper part, dark bluish gray for the shock and light bluish gray for the lower connection point) it blends better into the build of the Ducati Panigale. So why did LEGO create this part? Likely because it needed to look like the actual bike’s suspension, and no existing and in-production spring had the characteristics and looks needed to make the front assembly look proper.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, a few notes about part 32181.

When I did my test to see which was the best, I found out that a bigger base is better. I also am doing a science fair on which Lego structure is strongest when dropped. I haven't done it yet but I believe that a square base will be the strongest instead of the other bases I have chosen. I love building with Legos but a big pet-peeve is when they break.

Through 3D printing at home. This has become much easier as 3D printers have seen significant improvements in resolution, precision and affordability. The challenge is to make a part that works as well as a regular LEGO brick, as that requires very tight tolerances. On the other hand, dimensions of common bricks are very easy to find in the public domain.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Via a 3D printing service using someone else’s design for a part. Check out Shapeways and even Etsy to see if a part has already been designed and manufactured by another fan. There used to be room on Bricklink for custom items like this, but since LEGO bought Bricklink these products have been removed from the site. Especially in the train hobby there are many individuals printing custom items such as wheels, track, connecting rods, couplers etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. From a LEGO compatible brand. I would first look at reputable brands such as Mega Construx, Kre-o and the like, before going the illegal-clone route with companies like Lepin. The downside is that there are no part catalogs and trading sites for these brands (like Bricklink and Brickowl for LEGO), so you will need to look at sets and see if you can spot the piece you need. Perhaps some brands have a customer service line where you can ask questions about specific parts. Another downside is that color matching with your build can be problematic, but that likely holds for options 1&amp;2 as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that many AFOLs consider it part of the fun of building with LEGO to use only available parts to solve a particular challenge.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I am still keeping my hopes up this will be a set, perhaps even including the folding motion to make it appear magically! One can only hope ....&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is actually quite common to turn official LEGO models into alternate builds, even if the set is not an official 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 model. This is called a MOD (covered in [this question here on this site][1]). A famous one in the AFOL world is the [MOD that turns 10214 Tower Bridge into a proper Modular Building][2].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are several websites that feature MOD designs. The best known one is [Rebrickable][3], where AFOLs can upload designs for any set (including MODs) and allow people to match up the pieces in their collection to the design, sell the instructions etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another well-known site is Eurobricks, where scattered throughout the vast amount of forums and threads you can search for [MOD] in a posting title and find a lot of examples of MODs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Back to the question: To make 13 Grimmauld place you need a set with lots of windows, 1xN bricks and a door.

This is your economy of scale if you have to wash a lot efficiently.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Bleach &amp; Water - Not a great solution, unless you are just briefly dunking it. Bleach will clean very well, but if you leave it soaking for hours or days, Lego slowly absorbs the bleach and swells very slightly causing the bricks to gain clutch power.

This swelling doesn't seem to cause any long term damage.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;H2o2 + Oxyclean - This will 'lighten' UV damaged bricks, but I haven't had much success with it.

There were tricks to remove some of the repetition (drawings were done on translucent [drafting film](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drafting_film) and could be duplicated optically, and templates and stencils were widely used).  Translucent film also means it was possible to work on an isometric grid behind the drawing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*2D* CAD software, while it dates back [to the 1950s](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_CAD_software), only became accessible, though still very expensive, around the time these 3D drawings were produced.  3D CAD/modelling with rendering is a 1990s invention, and now any fool can use it (e.g. me), and it can be made cheap and user-friendly enough to give away (e.g. Lego Digital Designer).  Rendering using something like POV-ray (which can still be used with LDraw) could take days for a single image on a fast PC in the 90s (though you wouldn't need to render like that for these illustrations).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, while it's hard to tell with the JPG artefacts and anti-aliasing, if you look closely at say the wheels in panel 8, they're not quite a perfect match; they would be if rendered from the same model.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's a picture of what's available at the click of a mouse these days (2020):&#xD;&#xA;[![Various views of an Inventor model of 3 bricks][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I used [this 3rd party model of a 2x4 brick](https://grabcad.com/library/2x4-lego-brick-1) and a range of view options in Autodesk Inventor (3D modelling software).  The top right clearly imitates the old manuals, and the style is called &quot;Technical Illustration&quot;.  Lego tend to use fairly heavy shading on studs, demonstrating that clarity and style are closely related. Newer instructions use thinner black edges (with better quality printing). The bottom right is suitable for box art but doesn't clearly show the joins between bricks - at a glance the bottom could be a 2x8.

I cannot get my lake to sit flat.  I get the standing wave in the longitudinal direction, as shown in the picture, but the entire sheet warps in the transverse direction.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I first thought that perhaps mold type played a role, but building it in either clip type gave the same results.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Next, I tried putting in longer 1x plates below to hold the longitudinal wave as shown in the picture, while hopefully straightening the transverse curl, but the problem is that the 1x1 clips hold the water/tiles too tight in the transverse direction, thus pulling the pieces too close together, so the plates end up making the warp worse as they push the bases apart further (due to the normal tolerance or piece spacing).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would love any ideas people can offer.  I am not sure how Legopard got his to sit so flat.  I am finding that even 6 tiles wide gets a noticeable warp and his picture is many times that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.moc-pages.com/moc.php/376246&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/3O8Do.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Part of the description states: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Serra's Sanctum was a notable landmark of the plane, suspended somewhere in its infinite sky. The Sanctum was the dwelling place of the famed planeswalker herself. It was massive, taller than most structures on other planes. Powerful artifacts run through white mana and having white-related functions, such as the Cocoon, could be found here. At the top of the Sanctum was the aviary, where Serra could see the entire plane through many powerful lenses that kept an eye on her world. Only planeswalkers could comprehend all these images simultaneously. Leading down from the aviary through the rest of the Sanctum was a spiral staircase that ended at the base of the building. It was here that the main plaza was presumably located. The plaza contained a water fountain that reached five stories high, carved with skillfully rendered angelic effigies. On the fountain were also the words art, discourse, freedom, peace. These are the ideals that Serra herself sought after and wished to center her world around. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's the 'powerful lenses' part that I could use a little help with.  My current idea is to use [Plate, Round 4 x 4 with 2 x 2 Hole][2]  with some transparent-clear plates backing it to make a mirror/lens look.

[Here is the MOC that uses it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpZxTXKQ6C4) and [here is another MOC of his that uses it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTrLNLMI_Ek&amp;t=29s).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here it is step-by-step:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![step][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;First, we have a plain old technic brick.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now there's an axle stuck through it. That connector at the end of it is what I will use as the lever to turn. You can use whatever you want.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These connectors on the other end of the axle are supposed to lift the parts up and down, up and down, up and down. Using bigger ones will push them higher, but make sure that their ends are rounded.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And obviously, we need to add bushes. But we're still not done!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![brickwork][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Buncha brickwork...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![rr][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A 1x1 studded beam was added so that we can loosely hold a beam up above.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![rr][7]][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A non-friction pin is added. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![rr][8]][8]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A 1x5 beam was added, but I should actually use a 1x6 beam instead, which is fixed in the next images. What's the beam even doing here anyway? It's going to act as a guide for the axles that will sit above it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![rr][9]][9]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Same process is gonna go on again. Note that I used two 1x6 beams in half because they didn't seem to exist in full. And *yes*, the technic beam ***must*** be laying on the lifters like that. I had to update it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![rr][10]][10]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Almost done! But there's more...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![brickwork][11]][11]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;More brickwork...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![plate][12]][12]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now we have a technic plate with holes to stick axles through.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![axles][13]][13]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And of course, we stick axles through, you don't have to use plates like I did. And make sure that they are loose enough and rest on the beams. This is also the time when you can turn the lever to see if the axles pop up and down, up and down, up and down. If they don't and get stuck, try turning the lever the other way.&lt;br&gt; At this point, we are almost, *almost* done. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;del&gt;The only thing left is to find a way to attach this minifigure shield to the axles. I don't have any solution for this unfortunately.&lt;/del&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The final result should look something like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![finalresult][14]][14]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Update:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We've thought of using bars to connect the fountain parts, but we've discovered a few downsides and problems with that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first problem is that the plate with holes in my build is placed in such a way that it's not exactly aligned with the beams below, increasing the chances of any bars being placed on top slipping off. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![toofar][15]][15]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The second problem is that the bars are noticeably thinner than the size of the holes in the plates, which leads to some pretty bumpy performance, as shown below. Your bar will tip around and possibly even slip out.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![toosmall][16]][16]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The build can be improved to reduce the chances of such things happening by doing the following:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![rr][17]][17]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;First, let's remove that plate to make our additions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![rr][19]][19]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now we will have some off-set studs in order to align the plate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![rr][20]][20]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And now we put the plate back, in a better position than before.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![rr][21]][21] &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![rr][22]][22]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now it's not as likely that the bar can slip off the beams. Don't you notice the difference?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We can reduce the chances of that happening even *more* if necessary by adding more plates with holes to restrict the bar from slipping, like so:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![rr][23]][23]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Alright. Now about the fountain spray problem.&lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;del&gt;The bar for that piece you're interested in is positioned in a rather odd way (if you're wondering why then just look at some of the thumbnails of 76108) like [this.](https://i.stack.imgur.com/FyMkV.jpg)&lt;/del&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;del&gt;But don't worry, I have a solution for this. Just stick the [bar holder /w clip](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=11090&amp;name=Bar%20Holder%20with%20Clip&amp;category=%5BBar%5D#T=C) on top of the bar and attach the fountain spray part, and you'll be done! Easy!&lt;/del&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;del&gt;The completed model should now look something like [this](https://i.stack.imgur.com/d5f3r.jpg).&lt;/del&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Download link (click the button in the upper right corner)](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KyrN8TresKZtKuyhNtzEK3D8J9un-PHn/view)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/OpSXl.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/nsPo5.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ABdp9.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/jMFLv.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/fwjIw.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/HuVZc.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/qRFHE.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/kXBG4.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/AGycM.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/w2i4h.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/UmJL5.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/I04Kl.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [13]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/1v5RX.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [14]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/xaLkw.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [15]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/fDP2o.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [16]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/OJJFi.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [17]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/cX25X.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [18]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/cqT98.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [19]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/LdNiZ.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [20]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/e3qPJ.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [21]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Bq6ax.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [22]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/lvBe1.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [23]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/3WnUL.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [24]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/FyMkV.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [25]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/VCqUw.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [26]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/OQyKW.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [27]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/d5f3r.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Yes, you can use the Power Functions equipment to teach robotics. I would recommend you stick with the original PF instead of PoweredUp, as the latter has more complicated electronics and control schemes, however, others have already built custom control software for PUp so tinkering with software is definitely possible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Regarding Power Functions, the components have a 4 wire cable with 2 providing a constant 9V and ground, and 2 that are used for sending control signals (fluctuating values between 9V and 0V). Device identification is done through resistors, which is easy to mimick should you want to build your own motors, but this might not even be necessary as you want to build and configure your own controller. And the cable is easy to split and modify.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;@Philo who is a regular here maintains a site (www.philohome.com) on which you can find a wealth of information regarding PF. This would be the best place to start.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you are planning to use an RPi, make sure you get a suitable motor driver. You can power the motors via the driver at 9V, and use a buck converter to give your RPi 5V directly via the GPIO, just be careful because there is no overvoltage protection if used this way. Powering an Arduino or compatible microprocessor is also an option.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One word of warning: Power Functions components are retiring this year, so make sure you get your component order in from LEGO ASAP.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Good luck!"

I got no matches in a search for &quot;hair&quot;, filtering to brown color.&#xD;&#xA;[![Top of hair][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;[![Bottom or hair][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Green gem: It kind of reminds me of Rock Raiders, but I got no matches for &quot;green gem&quot; or &quot;green jewel&quot;.  The base is a 2x2 circle. It has no lettering on it.&#xD;&#xA;[![Top of gem][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;[![Bottom of gem][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. White &quot;wings&quot;? This one I am quite sceptical of, however it fits perfectly on a minifigure as a pair of wings.  I had no idea what to search for this one.  It has a number 2 on it.&#xD;&#xA;[![Front of wings][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;[![Back of wings][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd like to know if these are Lego pieces.  Reasons that they likely aren't (eg. LEGO has never used that color) are great too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/kU8T3.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/x4ezQ.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/G6T9A.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/VW7dz.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/pjblM.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Twqlx.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

It will not be cheap (the track pieces, especially curves, won’t be too expensive but a working 9V train motor is a $50-$75 purchase) however it will allow you to turn the train on and keep it running.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Image copied from [this thread][2] which will be useful to troubleshoot if you have issues with your 9V setup).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;FOLLOW-UP: After writing this answer, I realized I too need a circle of 9V track for my Christmas tree train :). I went ahead and bought an incomplete but working 9V train set on EBay for $100, which gives me the transformer, power cord, power supply, a 9V motor and some track. I then added the missing pieces of track from BrickLink (&lt;$1 per curve, $4-$5 for straight, plus shipping) and was all done for less than $150, with extra pieces from the incomplete set such as wheel sets, magnetic couplers and the sunken train bases which are quite valuable nowadays. If you compare that with buying the retired rechargeable battery box and all the PF components, that is similar money, with the downside for PF that you still need to charge every so often - which is what I used to do. One watch-out: these 9V tracks were made both in Dark Gray as well as in Dark Bluish Gray, so expect color differences if you try to mix and match these. I don’t mind as I intend to ballast my tracks anyways, and color differences make for a more “natural” look.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/HrGRe.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/8587/electric-train-set-not-working-even-though-the-light-is-on" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I chose to use Dupont connectors here so that I would have a very small and detachable connection.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Battery connector with wire][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now we put the battery terminals back.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Battery box with wires][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A nice feature of this setup is that in its current state, batteries can be installed and the box still fits perfectly inside the hub.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Hub with batteries][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From here, you could probably get away with running wires directly out of the hub if you didn't mind it not closing completely. If you didn't mind damaging the hub, you could also cut or drill a small notch at the bottom for the wires. I opted to run the wires out of some holes that already exist in the bottom of the hub.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Routing wires top][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Routing wires bottom][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From there, it's simply a matter of connecting the two wires to a suitable 9V supply. If you attempt this yourself, it is critical to match the voltage and polarity of the batteries, or you risk damaging your hub.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/nxpM0.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/JGO5m.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/0MGr2.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Rymhm.png&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/wZs2U.png&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/XhE39.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Open up Part Designer and choose the option to modify a part. Search for the torso part (Part Designer does not care about the color).&#xD;&#xA; 3.

Save your part, import it back into Stud.io, go to your Custom part library (selector on the top left side of your screen above the Parts Library) and use the torso as you want.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All these steps shouldn’t take more than a few minutes.

Since secondary markets like BrickLink and BrickOwl are somewhat niche sites maybe the seller(s) are taking advantage of people unaware of them and selling at a very good profit to a larger market. Additionally since Ali Baba, Ebay, and Amazon tend to have a large number of counterfeit sets available these sellers may be able to get away with selling all or a mixture of counterfeit parts to increase their margins.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for your second guess, there are programs that The LEGO Group makes available to organizations of various sorts to acquire large numbers of pieces at fairly reasonable prices however they do tend to monitor the secondary market fairly closely for evidence the parts from those programs are being resold so, while certainly still possible, it is less likely the parts are being sourced that way.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Again though, it is nearly impossible to tell simply from the advertised lots without actually making a purchase to verify what you would get.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://bricklink.com" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Yes, there are cases when you may need these specific elements, but such cases would be quite specific. I find that most Bricklink sellers tend to part out sets rather than sourcing specific elements in high quantities (however this is also an option some times). So seller end up selling most sought after elements and end up having a ton of these bricks nobody wants. One option (obviously) would be to sell them even cheaper than others hoping someone may become interested. But you may have simply too much of them or market is saturated. So, alternatively, you as a seller could explore another market places, like Ebay, where audience is much larger and is unaware of market prices for these elements. " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Text="Great answer by Nathan Stohlmann.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I see another option why these could be sold on Ebay for higher price than you can find them on Bricklink.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3/5 bricks on your list may be not as interesting in AFOL's point of view. Yes, there are cases when you may need these specific elements, but such cases would be quite specific. I find that most Bricklink sellers tend to part out sets rather than sourcing specific elements in high quantities (however this is also an option some times). So seller end up selling most sought after elements and end up having a ton of these bricks nobody wants. One option (obviously) would be to sell them even cheaper than others hoping someone may become interested. But you may have simply too much of them or market is saturated. So, alternatively, you as a seller could explore another market places, like Ebay, where audience is much larger and is unaware of market prices for these elements. " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I started off by guessing that your MOCs are about 7 minifigs tall.  If a [minifig is 4 bricks tall](https://brickipedia.fandom.com/wiki/Minifigure#:~:text=Minifigures%2C%20commonly%20referred%20to%20as,consist%20of%209%2D10%20parts.) that makes the overall height 28 bricks tall.&#xD;&#xA;1. It looks like the tallest buildings are about 20 stories tall and the shorter buildings are 5 stories tall.&#xD;&#xA;1. So you're looking at 4 plates or 5 plates per floor to build these.  4 plates per floor would end up with buildings 26.66 bricks tall.  5 plates per floor would lead to a 33.33 bricks tall building.  Since the 4 plate version is closer to our goal height, and we can cheat by making a few of the lower floors an extra plate tall, that seems like the best way to go.&#xD;&#xA;1. Then I took the picture and made a diagram of where I expect the buildings to go.  Based on this it seemed like the building should be 12 or 15 studs per side.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Process&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I realize this question was asked for LDD, but since it is no longer supported I'm not going to fight with it.  Stud.io or Mecabricks are actively maintained and supported.  I'm a bit better at [Stud.io](https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/download.page) so I'm going to proceed with that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For organizational purposes I'm going to put each chunk into a step and name the step something logical.  There is way too much in each step for LEGO standards, but I'm not worried about buildable instructions for now.  If instructions become an issue these steps should be split up further.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. I laid out a couple of baseplates and created some boring sidewalks for the main road where the MOCs are stationed in the picture.&#xD;&#xA;1. Then I added a brick ruler that is 28 bricks high so that I could conveniently have a visual reference for the goal height from step 1 under Calculations.  I did this with a stack of 2x4 bricks in alternating colors.&#xD;&#xA;1. We needed more baseplates to go under the buildings so I added 2 more pn3811 32x32 baseplates.&#xD;&#xA;1. I wanted to make sure the layout was going to transfer into bricks so I used 4x12 plates to layout the buildings from the sketch.  This will also serve as a &quot;basement&quot; to get the buildings to start above the sidewalk tiles.  [![enter image description here][1]][1] I added building numbers that will come up again later.&#xD;&#xA;1. I put in 2x4 tiles to make the side streets.  I went with Dark Bluish Gray to match the road baseplate color.  Since I'm giving the side streets 6 studs of width the remaining 1 stud width on each side could be filled in with a curb or sidewalk.  Filling in the road helped me realize I had a couple of buildings 1 stud off, so I was glad to catch and adjust that before it was more painful to fix.&#xD;&#xA;1. There need to be something to tie the baseplates together so I put in a line of tiles 2 studs wide.&#xD;&#xA;1. Whew, that's a lot of setup, but now we can get to working on one of the buildings.  I want to make sure the closest tall building looks decent.  I'm going to start by having a layer of plates that are inset by one stud and then a layer of bricks.  I wanted to do something SNOT for the vertical feature of that building, but I couldn't think of an easy way to float the 87087 &quot;Brick, Modified 1 x 1 with Stud on 1 Side&quot; out there.  I went with 1x4s jutting out and made it look like it goes up the whole building by filling in 1x4 plates.  Once I got a floor I wanted to go with I turned it into a submodel.  I then copied and pasted this submodel 19 more times.  Once you have the 20 floors you can finish the top in a few was.  I just through some plates on top to make it look uniform.&#xD;&#xA;1. The next building down the street (&quot;building 2&quot;) presents more challenges.  I'm guessing it is 5 stores tall.  The top 3 floors are one style and the bottom 2 are another.  I'm guessing the bottom 2 are a parking garage.  There's a lot of light coming out of the front of this.  I'll leave the light issue as an exercise for the reader or a new question.  There wasn't much chance of doing repeating elements so I didn't create any subassemblies for this building.  The [27c01](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=27c01#T=A) windows aren't available in tan, but since this is all in the computer I'll cheat to keep it looking nice.&#xD;&#xA;1. The last building on the main drag (building 3) is hard to tell much of anything in the picture.  I bricked up a boring cube to fill the space.  I turned two levels of bricks into a subassembly to make the repetition clearer.&#xD;&#xA;1. The building behind building 2 (building 4) is obscured in the picture by building 1 so I filled in with another boring cube.&#xD;&#xA;1. The building behind building 3 (building 5) is another 20 floor tall building.  I made 4 layers of 1-wide plates that looked like an interesting approximation of the picture.  I cheated again on some of the colors not being available in that plate size.  I made the floor into a subassembly and repeated it 19 more times.  I covered it with some plates.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Final Top View&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![final top view][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Result&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This isn't anything that I expect anyone to build.

The origin of these is a January 2018 study “[Concentrations and Migratabilities of Hazardous Elements in Second-Hand Children’s Plastic toys][4]”, in the scientific journal *Environmental Science &amp; Technology*, by Andrew Turner, open access. The author also gave a needlessly provocative (in my view) quote to the [BBC][5]: “Lego bricks from the 70s and 80s are the big fail”.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The study compared a couple dozen vintage plastic toys to modern European safety standards for nine hazardous elements, including lead and cadmium. Among other things, it found that a few colors of LEGO bricks exceeded modern standards for cadmium (but not lead). The key findings are in Table 3 on page 4 of the PDF. So then the question becomes: is this a genuine safety concern?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The specific standard in question is related to swallowing: “ingestion of a small quantity of material and defined by 2 [hour] extraction under simulated gastric conditions”. Being hard plastic, LEGOs fall under the “scraped-off” standard (as opposed to “brittle, powder, pliable” or “liquid, sticky”) of 23 micrograms cadmium per gram of LEGO (µg/g) (Table 1).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The worst-scoring LEGOs were red bricks from “sets that appear to have been purchased in the 1970s”. These had 274 µg/g of cadmium, about 12× the limit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My own view as a layperson (scientist in a different field) is that this is not a significant health concern for LEGOs, for two reasons. First, safety standards are appropriately quite conservative, so consuming a small number of bricks I would guess is not a problem. More importantly, however, consuming LEGO bricks presents far more serious mechanical risks (choking, intestinal damage, etc.).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;DUPLOs may be a little different since their audience is definitely the chew-on-stuff crowd. However, it seems the risk is swallowing material rather than licking the blocks, so any child scraping off a non-trivial amount of material with their teeth also risks breaking off and swallowing larger fragments, again putting us into mechanical territory.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Bottom line in my view, don’t eat your LEGOs and don’t let your kids eat them, but the reason is not cadmium.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Quotations from the study unless otherwise specified.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2018/02/05/lego-safety_a_23353501/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://offspring.lifehacker.com/your-old-legos-might-be-toxic-1822608757&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://tamararubin.com/2019/05/vintage-1970s-legos-test-positive-for-a-high-level-of-a-known-carcinogen-how-can-i-tell-if-my-legos-are-safe/&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acs.est.7b04685&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://www.bbc.com/news/health-42832978" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

It doesn't mention any specific names though, so once again it's likely a group of people... who probably designed *all* of the EV3, including the brick itself and all 5 main models.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sup&gt;oh I forgot, Papert was one of the people in the media lab apparently&lt;/sup&gt;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I bought the set boxed but used, and everything seemed right so I’m assuming it’s genuine but just looking for some peace of mind, and curious as to what would lead to this difference. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Many thanks in advance!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![bottom view][1]][1][![top view][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/lZMza.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/AXbwL.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

You need to invest time in getting followers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Youtube][4] - some people prefer making video of their creations rather than pictures. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Rebrickable][5] - this website has multiple LEGO related uses. One of them allows you to share your MOC, but it needs to have a building instruction. So other people could also build your model and it is not just for show off. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Reddit][6] - is another community which is about all things LEGO®. As Arturo Moncada-Torres suggested in comments you can also share your creations, just don't forget to tag it as `MOC`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://flickr.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://www.instagram.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://www.youtube.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://rebrickable.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://www.reddit.com/r/lego/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

We don't give shopping advice here, since these questions are considered off-topic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are many options to consider when buying used bricks or sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From general point of view, selling LEGO per weight is always cheaper than sorting all the bricks into sets simply because you don't know what you are getting. Does it contain all the parts for the set X you've mentioned? Does it include rare/costly piece Y of a set Z?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you managed to sort bricks into sets, then it all depends on the actual set. Most of them will be cheaper than bought new, but some may become more expensive over time. Depending on the market new sets may have discounts up to 50% off RRP or more (usually it is around 20-40% off), so getting more than that is unlikely. Check you local website people use to sell LEGO to have an idea of what your sets could cost.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then there is also a question about condition. Used and abused bricks aren't popular, unless there is a specific need for them. For example, being a filler pieces deep inside your MOC where nobody is going to see them. Scratches, teeth marks, discoloration all make an impact. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So price can be in the range of 0 - ∞." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

This is similar to [how the LEGO Super Mario figure knows which Power Up is attached](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/15367/how-does-the-lego-super-mario-figure-know-which-power-up-is-attached) - a simple way to test would be to attach normal pins in those locations, rather than the special parts that came with it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This may not even be electronic, the pins may be physically changing the gear ratio inside the motor.  Which answers the last part of your question:  why do the performances appear to be reversed?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Because a high gear means lots of speed, but no torque (power), and a low gear means low speed, but lots of torque (power).  You can test this yourself on a bicycle.  On a flat path, a high gear will let you go really fast, while a low gear will mean you are slow.  But, going up a hill, a low gear will let you easily climb steeper hills, and a high gear will leave you stuck, exhausted, at the bottom!  So, the &quot;high gear&quot; item gives better performance on the &quot;speed&quot;/&quot;racing&quot; model, but the &quot;low gear&quot; item gives better performance on the &quot;power&quot;/&quot;steep ramp&quot; model" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I'm currently just working on the design so I haven't ordered anything yet. I think that for my build the [57518][1] pieces are perfect. My question is pretty simple: is there a way to mount some sort of 'shelves' onto it? I'm completely new to Lego (and not a native English speaker) so I can't explain it any better. The picture below from the [GBC Homepage][2] shows exactly what I'm talking about:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Snippet of picture on [GBC Homepage\]\[2\]][2]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I believe that the pieces used in the picture are [3873][4] (not sure). I can also see that in each of these light grey horizontal 'bars' there are two vertical rods that mount it on the conveyor belt itself. The 3873 pieces are not useful for me because there are too many openings in it. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I spent long times browsing [Bricklink][5] trying to find fitting pieces but I just don't know where to look. It would be great if somebody could provide me with links or numbers of the pieces that I need. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, if you have (or know somebody who has) experience with these kind of projects and is willing to do some explaining, please contact me. Also, any kind of instructions on how to build Lego conveyor belts or something similar is very welcome.

We simply do not know. The effort to test the safety of all these uncertified brands is too great.

If you run a bare engine (no cover), it goes up fine. If you run the engine with a decorative cover (the &quot;top&quot; of the train), it will struggle. If you run it with train cars attached it seems like it's 50/50 whether it'll make it over.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You also could consider trying different types of batteries.

There are a few practical design cases I can think of though.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Early media&#xD;&#xA;-----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For interactive media, games historically have had limitations on processing and graphical power. Early games, such as LEGO Island released in 1997 had extremely limited graphics (by modern standards) yet were still very effective at representing LEGO bricks and characters fully. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rather than attempting to recreate LEGO pieces as realistically as possible, they aimed to make the characters and environment full of life, immersive and fun. Very important for a product aimed at children.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Many designers completely ignore the realistic limitations of the hard plastic joints and pivots of a real minifigure and went for a more expressive style. Arms and legs unnaturally contort to give more expression and dynamics to the characters. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2] &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I believe the idea of LEGO bricks and what they *represent to the imagination* were considered more important to the *physical aspects*. Aside from technical limitations, the need to represent the bricks as accurately as possible just was not necessary and could even detract from the style. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is even possible that rendering every individual stud on a brick could have produced a sickening [Moiré effect][3] as objects were moved around and their scale changed.

I imagine you could find something similar for Arduino as well.&#xD;&#xA;* If you want to connect the Arduino directly to the NXT, you can use USB or Bluetooth. Then you can use the information in the NXT Bluetooth Developer Kit (available from &lt;http://www.lego.com/en-us/mindstorms/downloads&gt;) to develop a program for the Arduino what will be able to communicate with the NXT."

For example, the following uses [15068 2x2 Slope, curved](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=15068#T=C) instead of tiles.

I  have found that 'FLEGO' (my term for fake LEGO) is more brittle and shatters when subject to forces that LEGO has no problem with.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For example, I recently had a mini-fig torso that I tried to pull the arms off of, and both completely shattered. Real LEGO mini-figures you can pull the arms off of as much as you want, with little effect on the parts. Older torsos will sometimes develop a waist to armpit crack, I suspect this is more a result of age than excessive force.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I suspect that their ABS formula is producing harder, and more brittle bricks that will break rather than bend. I found several bricks in the same lot that were completely shattered, with rather sharp edges. This is something I have never seen in real LEGO bricks." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Repeating the process for all available lengths will result in a list of unit prices, sorting that gives you the best price to length ratio.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Or if you are looking to buy the cheapest piece from which the most 12cm pieces can be cut, you can then perform an integer division on the original length and arrive at the price of a single 12cm part for each avaialble length. For example, the 32 cm piece above nets you 2 pieces of 12cm lengths, so its unit price is $1.33.

How long does it take to get up to speed each program?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So simple question, what are the pros and cons for each program (keeping in mind my goals)." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

There is a learning curve associated with using them, but that they are present at all is a huge plus.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Instruction Generation&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Bricklink Studio includes a mode that enables relatively easy generation of instructions. I have personally found it to be pretty decent but still need to usually tweak the output a bit to make some steps clear.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I did not find any default support for instruction generation in LDCad but since it is using LDRAW files by default it would be relatively easy to use those files in one of the several instruction generators that are available separately."

Together with some [85861 1x1 plate round with open stud](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=93061), [63965 Bar 6L](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=63965) and [4032 2x2 plate round](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4032), it's possible to do something like:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, I'm not entirely sure if the bent skeleton arms will have enough grip. If they do not, some of the handlebar pieces might drop, and individual racks might rotate out of place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that I'm using four bars there - using one bar doesn't provide enough room, and the individual racks would collide with each other.

Since the motors are not 100% efficient, there is energy lost to heat. If there is too much heat, the motor will be damaged.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, while it is no problem to run the motors at maximum current by stalling the motor for a short amount of time (a few seconds), it is not OK to stall it for a long period of time. I accidentally did this once with an EV3 medium motor and I noticed the problem after a few minutes because I could smell a burning smell coming from the motor. I have also been at LEGO conventions where motors are running all day long. Even though they are not stalled, some of the motors eventually quit working and have to be replaced.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The motors themselves do have internal protection that is supposed to cut off power to prevent overheating problems due to too much power for too long (see *R7* in both the large and small motor schematics in the hardware developer kit and datasheets). But based on my experience, it doesn't seem like a good idea to completely rely on this protection.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So unfortunately, I don't have an exact answer in amps. But if you are running the motor for short periods of time with plenty of time in-between to cool down, it should be OK no matter what the current is.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;For reference, these are my best guess for the data sheets for *R7*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [Large Motor](https://www.bourns.com/docs/product-datasheets/mfmsmf.pdf)&#xD;&#xA;- [Medium Motor](https://www.bourns.com/docs/product-datasheets/cmf-rc.pdf)&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

It is quite unique in that it has both driving and its functions motorized. Which is why it keeps its value even on second hand market. In case your collection consist of more than 42006 set you can look into &quot;bricklinking&quot; 8043 set for yourself. That is, look into buying missing bricks to build 8043 set of your own collection. In fact, owning just 42006 set means you already have [45.3% of 8043][1].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you are fine with fan designed LEGO model I can suggest looking at [excavators][2] on Rebrickable. All models have instructions (paid or free).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Answer to why LEGO doesn't keep same type of model for a long period of time is quite simple, I think. If you got excavator released two years ago (which is the usual life span for Technic models), you don't really need a new one. You'd probably want to get dump truck, super car, plane or some other model that you don't already have. And if you already got all the types, and LEGO keeps making sets of the same type you'd probably won't spend money on newer models, which is something LEGO doesn't want to happen.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://rebrickable.com/sets/compare/slow/?1-set=8043-1&amp;1-inv=12610&amp;1-user_list=&amp;2-set=42006-1&amp;2-inv=4880&amp;2-user_list=&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/?q=excavator" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Do you have more pieces that might be unique enough to give a clue?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Turbine from OP's question][34]][34]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm curious to know if the molds from Kre-O's tailfin ended up being sold to someone else. That might explain both the nearly identical piece in the Ultimate Soldier sets (down to the injection sprue) and the obscurity of the set you're looking for.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Edit 1&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;According to the unsourced [Wikipedia page for Ultimate Soldier][35], the Ultimate Soldier brand of die-cast figures was reintroduced as a line of military-themed building toys in 2014.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[This forum thread][36] contains conjecture about the acquisition of the die-cast tooling by either JSI or All-Go. No mention of the building toys.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Forum post, transcriptionin quote below][37]][37]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; JSI bought some of the 1/18 tooling, there are a couple of company's sniffing around the 1/32 molds, but on my friends last trip to China(he's been back about a week) the 1/32 molds are either crated up of sitting inside and outside :rolleyes: the plant :lol: while other projects have taken over the factories.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; if they stay in weather to long they will be junk soon :huh:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Forum post, transcription in quote below][38]][38]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; For all intents and purposes, 21st Century is effectively gone. All-Go's attempt at resurrecting the line fell back into the mire it tried to spring from after reissuing the two 1/32 planes - the mistake they made there being twofold: they reissued paint schemes that had been done already (and at half the price) AND they no longer included a pilot figure. A lot of merchants dumped excess stock upon the failure of the planes to sell, and discounters like Tuesday Morning ended up with them.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; JSI seems to possess the bulk of the 1/18 molds and have reissued several of 21C's vehicles in that scale.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; As far as 1/32 goes, status remains unknown. Still a lot available on ebay, but obviously not at Wal-Mart prices. I have built several of the kits myself, and while plainly being more toy-like than your normal kit, they do clean up nice and if you get them at the right price are a bargain. I managed to snag a case of BF109F's for $20 a couple of years back.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the date provided by the Wikipedia page is to be believed, then there must be another explanation for the identical parts. I doubt that Hasbro would be selling good molds in 2014 for a line of toys they were still producing in 2017.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I checked who was actually making the toys for Hasbro.

Then you want to have another, stationary object to rotate when the moving something has passed a certain point on the track, right? Like a semaphore transitioning to another state after a train has passed a switchpoint?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If so, then the simplest solution would be to attach a piece of straight gear rack to the moving object and set up a gear by the tracks in a way so that the gear rack meshes with it as the object moves past. If the rack has exactly half the number of teeth as the gear, the gear will be rotated 180° upon their passing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Possible combinations: [4566045: RACK W.

The resulting motion can then be amplified through adequate gearing to give 180° at the desired point and incorporate a ratchet to prevent returning after the slope has passed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://brickset.com/parts/4566045/rack-w-ball&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/qVL62.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://brickset.com/parts/4141454/double-conical-wheel-z12-1m&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/8Dznf.png&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://brickset.com/parts/374302/toothed-bar-m-1-z-10&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/dAM7E.png&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://brickset.com/parts/4141455/double-conical-wheel-z20-1m&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/qeSFB.png&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://brickset.com/parts/4174349/technic-angular-wheel&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: https://brickset.com/parts/6306064/gear-wheel-2x2-z6&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: https://brickset.com/parts/4162781/left-shell-3x12-w-bow-angle" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I can still recall the latter being used about 20 years ago in engineering.  There were tricks to remove some of the repetition (drawings were done on translucent [drafting film](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drafting_film) and could be duplicated optically, and templates and stencils were widely used).  Translucent film also means it was possible to work on an isometric grid behind the drawing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*2D* CAD software, while it dates back [to the 1950s](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_CAD_software), only became accessible, though still very expensive, around the time these 3D drawings were produced.  3D CAD/modelling with rendering is a 1990s invention, and now any fool can use it (e.g. me), and it can be made cheap and user-friendly enough to give away (e.g. Lego Digital Designer).  Rendering using something like POV-ray (which can still be used with LDraw) could take days for a single image on a fast PC in the 90s (though you wouldn't need to render like that for these illustrations).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, while it's hard to tell with the JPG artefacts and anti-aliasing, if you look closely at say the wheels in panel 8, they're not quite a perfect match; they would be if rendered from the same model.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's a picture of what's available at the click of a mouse these days (2020):&#xD;&#xA;[![Various views of an Inventor model of 3 bricks][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I used [this 3rd party model of a 2x4 brick](https://grabcad.com/library/2x4-lego-brick-1) and a range of view options in Autodesk Inventor (3D modelling software).  The top right clearly imitates the old manuals, and the style is called &quot;Technical Illustration&quot;.  Lego tend to use fairly heavy shading on studs, demonstrating that clarity and style are closely related. Newer instructions use thinner black edges (with better quality printing). The bottom right is suitable for box art but doesn't clearly show the joins between bricks - at a glance the bottom could be a 2x8.  This took less than a minute to render on 1 core of my desktop; 20 years ago it would have taken hours.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/0fUoIl.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Many public libraries in my region of the US have &quot;LEGO clubs&quot; and are always looking for spare brick.  I also agree with an earlier answer that you might want to look for any adult LEGO clubs in your area.  Even if the adults fans are not interested in what you have they often have connections to people who want spare LEGO.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another source for donations could be FIRST LEGO LEAGUE robotic teams in your area.  These teams are often in need of spare parts and even Hero Factory pieces can be used for decorating the robots.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Whatever you do, don't put them in the trash.  ABS is a very recyclable material, but furthermore LEGO is in high demand.  It would be multiple levels of shame to put it in a landfill.  My guess is that Goodwill wil take them, as I often bring the clone bricks to thrift shops when I separate them from second hand LEGO piles that I grab at yard sales or Facebook marketplace."

Unfortunately, the instructions are almost certainly beyond saving. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Concerning heat, ABS [appears to be safe][6] until around 80°C (176°F) when it starts to deform. This is good considering [PVA softens as early as 30°C (86°F)][7]. However, as Alex points out, [LEGO recommends using water no warmer than 40°C (104°F)](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/100/17802).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You might try submerging the LEGO-berg in hot water for an extended period of time (articles I found suggested multiple hours, changing the water as needed) then using a syringe or spray bottle to apply vinegar to one area at a time. With some force, the weakened glue should release. Assuming it has weakened sufficiently, wiping with a course cloth should remove the residue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is unclear in my searching whether time is a significant factor in the susceptibility of PVA glue to heat. It is a resin, so there may be some long-term curing that prevents the glue from re-softening, but I couldn't find a definitive source one way or the other.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As an additional consideration, exposure to extended heat, chemical treatments, and physical cleaning may impact the surface quality of your bricks. Additionally, if the solvents present in the glue when it was applied to the surface also affect ABS, the glue may be bonded to the structure of the brick, not just the surface. If this is the case, you will not be able to salvage the brick without a destructive process like sanding that will inevitably leave signs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you can identify a small chunk of bricks to test the process on, you can at least see if heat and vinegar are a potential solution for the rest of your bricks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[1]: https://www.coleparmer.com/Chemical-Resistance&#xD;&#xA;[2]: https://www.coleparmer.com/Search?searchterm=Methanol%20(Methyl%20Alcohol)&#xD;&#xA;[3]: https://www.coleparmer.com/Search?searchterm=Vinegar&#xD;&#xA;[4]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego&#xD;&#xA;[5]: https://www.coleparmer.com/Search?searchterm=Acetone&#xD;&#xA;[6]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylonitrile_butadiene_styrene&#xD;&#xA;[7]: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/chemical-engineering/polyvinyl-acetate" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Sets in the line were released from 2000 to 2002. The flagship set, 1349 LEGO Studios Steven Spielberg MovieMaker Set, included a special LEGO webcam and proprietary software that included stop-motion capture, timeline editing, and sound recording and editing. LEGO Studios was instrumental in popularizing the hobby of brickfilming.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So despite the short life of this theme, many folks who probably never even owned any of the sets in this theme have seen the amazing results and added their own art to the genre.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Given how much you have from this theme already check out the other sets on [brickset](https://brickset.com/sets/theme-Studios) or [bricklink](https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?v=2&amp;pg=1&amp;catString=174&amp;catType=S) and see how many more parts you may have."

The soft hoses don't hold their shape as much. They can stretch around other elements like the pneumatic hoses do. They aren't common. One use is for the SCUBA mask (32037) in the 1997 Technic Search Sub:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![32037 photo][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![mask with tank][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It appears that you are using something like [Hose, Rigid 3mm D. 8L][3]. These parts should be able to do what you want them to do. I've tested with a number of mine from different eras, and they all had a strong enough connection that the 1x1 plate didn't fall off.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This part is made of a softer plastic than the regular ABS, so it is more susceptible to wear than elements like the 4L bar. I did find that some of my parts had a weaker connection than others. It is possible that your part is a little worn down, or that a slightly smaller non-LEGO hose snuck into your collection. I believe I've had that happen to me in the past, as there's no LEGO logo on these parts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would recommend trying with another hose. If you are using the soft hose, try using one of the rigid hoses. It's possible that the 1x1 plate is the problem, but that can be easily tested by confirming that a bar connects firmly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/M5bq8.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/2tVyf.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=75c08&amp;name=Hose,%20Rigid%203mm%20D.%20%208L%20/%206.4cm&amp;category=%5BHose,%20Rigid%203mm%20D.%5D#T=C" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

So recently, I was studying them closely and noticed a few are competitor brands including Mega Bloks and Tyco. But I can't figure out what the brand is of these two, with different logos on them. I will attach a pic of each logo. I tried to get the pics sharp and clear enough to make out. One of them  is on the bottom and looks like an &quot;A F&quot; inside of a circle. The other appears on the top. It seems like it is familiar but I can't place it. Neither one of these bricks has any logo or lettering on the studs. Any ideas on maker or brand name?? Thanks!!

I enjoy collecting pieces of driftwood, and occasionally find fishing lures, bobbers  and other odds and ends in my hikes. So recently, I was studying them closely and noticed a few are competitor brands including Mega Bloks and Tyco. But I can't figure out what the brand is of these two, with different logos on them. I will attach a pic of each logo. I tried to get the pics sharp and clear enough to make out. One of them  is on the bottom and looks like an &quot;A F&quot; inside of a circle. The other appears on the top. It seems like it is familiar but I can't place it. Neither one of these bricks has any logo or lettering on the studs. Any ideas on maker or brand name?? Thanks!!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT -  An additional comment, added 7/4/21: Just added three more pics to show the bricks with the &quot;AF in a circle&quot; logo on bottom (the group of four). Although the red brick has it marked &quot;correctly&quot;, all three blue ones have the AF circle logo backwards! Including pics showing both the top and bottom of the bricks. Don't know what type of plastic they are made from, but they have that softer, sorta &quot;waxy&quot; feel something like the PP (number 5) plastic. These were probably found in the 1990s. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; [![A F in circle on bottom][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;[![Blue brick with AF inside circle but this one is reversed][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;[![Blue &amp; Red bricks with AF inside circle, top view][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;[![Blue &amp; Red bricks with AF inside circle, bottom view][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;[![Logo on top of red 2 by 4 brick][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/LA2Vj.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/vatlI.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/keKqU.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/uzhzK.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/dGU0O.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

IsReentrant=&quot;false&quot; Version=&quot;1.0.2.0&quot; xmlns=&quot;http://www.ni.com/VirtualInstrument.xsd&quot;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;Changed:  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;VirtualInstrument IsTopLevel=&quot;false&quot; IsReentrant=&quot;false&quot; Version=&quot;1.0.2.0&quot; OverridingModelDefinitionType=&quot;X3VIDocument&quot; xmlns=&quot;http://www.ni.com/VirtualInstrument.xsd&quot;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, you can change this single line in your vix file, and the ev3g software will open it in the default editor. You can drag blocks, and also use the vix elements.  &#xD;&#xA;One disadvantage is that for some reason the vix terminals are invisible. But you can still select them, if you know where they are.  &#xD;&#xA;Sorry for the messy answer, this is my first actual explanation, if you have any more questions, ask them in a comment, and I will answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Ts4MN.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Things I would try:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Wiggle and pull out the part in question as-is, since pin slots are parallel to the part itself it could be possible to pull out the part ever slightly to make the rest of the job easy. If you find it hard to grab/wiggle the part try attaching something to an available pin hole - like a pin and some connector, to make some sort of lever.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 2. Use some long and narrow non-LEGO item and push the part from the back. Since you'd be pushing against a back wall of a pin hole there won't be much damage visible even if you use brute force with sharp object like needle. And since this a Technic element, which tend to be made of a slightly harder plastic than usual bricks, there is low chance of damaging it even with sharp object.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 3. As least favorite option I'd try using something flat and sharp between L-shaped brick and element you wish to remove.

To see what I mean, imagine something like [32209 Technic Axle 5.5L with Stop](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=32209&amp;name=Technic,%20Axle%20%205.5L%20with%20Stop&amp;category=%5BTechnic,%20Axle%5D#T=S&amp;O={%22iconly%22:0}), then covering the end with the stop with modelling clay - you won't get the clay off in one piece. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The good news is that ABS (the plastic used in most Lego parts) has [good resistance to oxalic acid](https://www.kelco.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/abs-chemical-compatibility-guide.pdf) and you can get rust removers based on oxalic acid (some advice [here](https://azrust.com/oxalic-acid-for-rust-removal/)).  It might turn the steel black; I know phosphoric acid does.  Note that phosphoric acid, citric acid, and acetic acid\* aren't good for ABS, ruling out many commercial rust-removers and home-made recipes.  There's always a chance of damage, but less so than trying to get the assembly apart.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I tried an experiment.  After about an hour and a half in vinegar, the plastic was unaffected, but the rust hadn't reduced, so you may need something stronger.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But before I put the assembly into the vinegar I noticed one of the wheels was cracked (actually both now I look at the photo!), so I risked prising it off.  After scrubbing some rust off using steel wool you can see the groove in the axle where the plastic is moulded to grip it (red arrow), confirming that it's not coming off without damage.  I was slightly wrong though - this part isn't splined, presumably because it doesn't matter if the wheel slips round the axle.&#xD;&#xA;[![Axle with groove][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you insist on disassembly, applying enough heat to just the axle will soften the plastic touching it, allowing you to pull it out.  Reassembly would need glue.  But I think (from  memory, bricklink doesn't have a picture of the underside) you couldn't heat the axle without melting the plate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;\* From the source I used, 20% acetic acid is bad, but vinegar (4-8% acetic acid) is good. Whether the soaking time to remove the rust is long enough to cause problems for the plastic would require an experiment.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZVO52.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Does Duplo count? Do things like Lego branded paraphernalia with studs on them count? What about pre-ABS bricks? The old architecture sets? Do you count all the minor design changes as 'unique' elements? (The classic 2x4 brick has had probably a dozen minor changes to the molds over the decades, for example). You probably aren't considering color variations, but physical shape. Are pieces with differing paint jobs unique elements? A radar dish that is opaque is probably going to get use differently from a transparent one with space ship canopy lines on it...   &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I get the nature of your question, but depending on how you define it can have a big impact on the answer. I would throw out an order or magnitude answer and say that there are probably less than 10k physically unique pieces in existence.

How would you deal with a user who produced a steady stream of valuable answers, but tends to generate a large number of arguments/flags from comments?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is rarely an issue as users who leave disruptive comments tend to be active members of the community for a short time. Additional warnings may be given to users who deliberately disregard feedback on their comments.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 2. How would you handle a situation where another mod closed/deleted/etc. a question that you feel shouldn’t have been?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I cannot recall a time where this has happened as a moderator as we are generally in agreement most of the time. This is an issue we would discuss in chat, perhaps with other users who may want to give feedback such as the question asker and any users involved in the answers or comments. As a compromise, it may be possible to add clarity or re-phrase a question to make it more appropriate. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 3. We get a large number of &quot;What is this element?&quot; questions, which we are great at answering, and provides a good service to the askers, but doesn't really provide much &quot;long term value to the internet&quot;. What is your approach to improving these questions to avoid a wall of identical questions?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These are my least favourite questions on the site but also the most popular, so I would like to bring up the topic again on meta. I would definitely like to see more questions about the creative side of LEGO building. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have [pushed to implement prompts for users who post identification questions](https://bricks.meta.stackexchange.com/a/552/132) to make it clearer that users should make an effort to accurately describe their identification problems but I would like this to go much further to ensure that the site is used as a *last resort* *option* for people trying to identify parts/sets. Identification questions with low or zero effort are routinely closed/deleted.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have [posted advice on how to identify parts](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/9331/132) before, I think more knowledge like this should be easier to find to new users.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 4. How would you weigh the importance of factual knowledge versus interpersonal skills in moderators?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There needs to be a balance. I do not believe there is value in having a moderator who has an expansive knowledge yet no ability to compassionate, understanding, fair and open to criticism. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 5. What would you do about complaints when a user submits many trivial edits?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Trivial edits in the review for users who do not have enough reputation may be discarded. Further issues can be resolved by contacting the user.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 6. How would you handle situations with unwelcoming behaviour towards new users? Be it a blatantly unresearched question, a demonstrably false answer, or even a proper contribution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Answers that have are inaccurate, false or unresearched will be downvoted, or even deleted if they are malicious. Answers that are rude or disruptive may be edited if they have any value in the actual information given.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 7. In your opinion, what do moderators do?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On a day to day basis, moderators deal with reviewing content but they also should take an active part in the community. They me required to make difficult decisions and deal with difficult users. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Moderators should be accountable for their actions, open to criticism and open to different ideas.

How would you deal with a user who produced a steady stream of valuable answers, but tends to generate a large number of arguments/flags from comments?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Bricks.SE rarely evokes heated arguments, so in my view, this is mostly a non-issue. If it were to happen, the first step would be to identify the cause of the disagreement and work from there on a case-by-case basis. Maybe the contributor should adjust their tone or the users who have raised the flags were expecting something different.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 2. How would you handle a situation where another mod closed/deleted/etc. a question that you feel shouldn’t have been?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd start by assuming that they had their reasons for acting thus and try to find the reasoning behind their decision. If it boils down to a misunderstanding between us, I'd try to clear it up in private. As a last resort, a meta post can always be opened to let the community decide.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 3. We get a large number of &quot;What is this element?&quot; questions, which we are great at answering, and provides a good service to the askers, but doesn't really provide much &quot;long term value to the internet&quot;. What is your approach to improving these questions to avoid a wall of identical questions?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Providing a place where these questions can be asked and answered is undoubtedly a great service for the askers, but also a way to attract new users and let them prove themselves by gathering reputation. In this light, even though such questions are an admittedly poor fit for the knowledge repository format, I'd let the status quo stand as it is. In other words, I'd rather have a wall of similar questions than an empty wall.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 4. How would you weigh the importance of factual knowledge versus interpersonal skills in moderators?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In my view the community is responsible for providing content, while the moderators are the janitors and exception handlers. Therefore the moderators should rather be skilled at gauging the intention of users, spotting the causes of disagreements and nipping problems in their buds. Being able to provide expert answers or to judge the correctness of an answer is only tangential to this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 5. What would you do about complaints when a user submits many trivial edits?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd be inclined to lean on the side of leniency on this matter. The user probably has a valid reason for doing so, and if the edits are not disruptive in their quantity and quality then they have a right to stay. Should they become such overzealous that others complain about them, I would question the user to confirm their intention.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 6. How would you handle situations with unwelcoming behaviour towards new users? Be it a blatantly unresearched question, a demonstrably false answer, or even a proper contribution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Every user is welcome at Bricks.SE as long as they don't engage in destructive behaviour. Offenders would receive pointers to the relevant parts of the ToS and the available guides, with particularly egregious content unceremoniously removed. I'd do this independently from the user's prior positive or negative contributions or seniority. As a young site covering a relatively small niche we must do everything we can to prevent new users from becoming discouraged from joining and contributing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 7. In your opinion, what do moderators do?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Moderators are the immune system of a site: responsible for dealing with malicious agents (be them internal or external) and keeping the site in a state of peaceful collaboration.  &#xD;&#xA;Moderators are also the groundskeepers of a site: they identify and fix problems (ranging from cleaning up new users' posts to solving philosophical or governance disputes) in order to enable the creation of content.  &#xD;&#xA;Last but not least, moderators are still users of the site, with all the usual powers and responsibilities regarding asking, answering, commenting and voting.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 8. A diamond will be attached to everything you say and have said in the past, including questions, answers and comments. Everything you will do will be seen under a different light. How do you feel about that?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All my contributions have been and will be made in good faith and so I don't expect any problems arising from this. Should anyone have issues with anything, I'm always ready to answer for my actions, admit my mistakes and learn from them, and lastly amend or remove anything false, offensive or against the rules.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 9. In what way do you feel that being a moderator will make you more effective as opposed to simply reaching 10k or 20k rep?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I intend on keeping up the same behaviour as I have been doing anyways, the only difference will be that the review-queued posts will be processed faster due to not having to wait for more votes or being able to skip my raising a flag and waiting for a moderator to handle it."

However if there's a persistent issue, then I would start with inviting the user to a private chat room and remind them that we're trying to be a friendly, welcoming place, and if that's not something they want to participate in recommend that they take some time out.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 2. How would you handle a situation where another mod closed/deleted/etc. a question that you feel shouldn’t have been?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In general, the community has been fairly consistent about what makes a good, on-topic question, and most moderation has been when either the question is obviously unsalvageable, or has already collected a couple of close votes. If I were to see a question that had been closed by one of the other mods without any comment to the OP explaining why, and I felt this wasn't right, I'd start by reaching out in chat to the mod, and finding out what prompted the action. From there, we could agree that this was the correct action, or I'd propose an edit and see if that was acceptable to the OP.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 3. We get a large number of &quot;What is this element?&quot; questions, which we are great at answering, and provides a good service to the askers, but doesn't really provide much &quot;long term value to the internet&quot;. What is your approach to improving these questions to avoid a wall of identical questions?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Assuming there's a good description of the element, along with some pictures, then where possible, I tend to try and at least edit the question title to describe the core element being sort - that way we can provide a bit more value to others if they are searching the web for &quot;LEGO Mudguard&quot; or similar, and it also helps me remember which posts I've already seen ;)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 4. How would you weigh the importance of factual knowledge versus interpersonal skills in moderators?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Interpersonal skills are what really define any community leader, whether they have a diamond or not. The role of the mods is really to help the community function well, providing a fix when things go wrong (spam, etc.) or liaising with the Stack Exchange Community Team rather than being able to answer every single question. Factual knowledge can usually be found with a good knowledge of search engines. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 5. What would you do about complaints when a user submits many trivial edits?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There can be a number of reasons for this - ranging from someone going through and finding all the posts with external images hosted on non-secure sites and moving them to a secure host, to just ensuring all mentions of the word &quot;LEGO&quot; are in caps. If the edits are not adding any value at all (i.e. they're not correcting spelling, making the post clearer, etc.), and are happening repeatedly, and they are in the review queue then my first course of action would be to reject the edits. If however they're being performed by someone with enough rep to skip the review queue, then a comment or quick chat is usually enough to solve the problem. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 6. How would you handle situations with unwelcoming behaviour towards new users? Be it a blatantly unresearched question, a demonstrably false answer, or even a proper contribution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Generally, I'd remove the unwelcoming content. I also try and leave an encouraging welcome where suitable - for example on an unresearched question if there were rude comments, I'd likely remove those, and add one welcoming the user, and asking them to edit the question to provide more details around what they had tried, what happened, etc.. For answers, again, a welcoming comment explaining what they could do to improve the answer would be left. In both cases if after a couple of days nothing had happened, I'd likely close the question or delete the answer/convert it to a comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 7. In your opinion, what do moderators do?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I see the role of the mods to be both an example to the community of how we'd like to behave, as well as using the tools and features we have to help keep our site running smoothly and looking nice. We deal with the things that the rest of the site can't always, such as removing spam, and helping clear unrecoverable questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 8. A diamond will be attached to everything you say and have said in the past, including questions, answers and comments. Everything you will do will be seen under a different light. How do you feel about that?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have always tried to act in a way that will help build the site, welcome new users and ensure we don't leave existing users behind. I'm happy for those actions to stand, and carry forward. If anything, having a diamond has made more cautious of using my binding votes (close/delete/etc.) where I like to ensure I've Ieft an explanation before I act.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 9. In what way do you feel that being a moderator will make you more effective as opposed to simply reaching 10k or 20k rep?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I like to being able to support the communities self-help, clearing flags that have come in over night, getting nudged automatically about new posts on meta, and working with the other mods on making the site better."

It's not always possible to find the rarest part but I can usually guess which parts are rare given how many of them I have in my collection.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For System sets I will usually ignore unmodified bricks, plates and tiles in common colours. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Example**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When I was trying to find the set in the example shown below from [this](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/8442/132) question. I ignored all the plates and the two black 1x1 studs as they were all common parts in standard colours.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Example photo][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only two parts remaining were the blue [Minifigure Seat (4079)][2] and the  blue [Steering Wheel (3829)][3].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From those two parts it was easy to identify it as a vehicle and with the arrangement of the pieces I could tell it was a four-stud wide vehicle. Since around 2005-2010 it has become more common for LEGO to produce vehicles 6 or 8 studs wide so I assumed it was a fairly old set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To identify these two pieces I used the [catalogue search on Bricklink][4], if I didn't know the name of these pieces I could have search by category, or if I knew the piece number (found often on the bottom of many parts) I could have searched for that as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Every piece on Bricklink has a list of 'Known Colors', the steering wheel had 222 set entries for the colour blue and the steering wheel had the minifgure seat had 68 results for the colour blue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Known Colours list][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I sorted the list by selecting 'Year Released' to 'Up' so that I would see the oldest sets first and set the preview mode to 'List with Images' so that I could see both a photo of the set and relevant information.

These colours are probably the most common and are almost always included in bulk brick buckets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Around **2004**, the colour of light/dark grey and brown bricks were changed slightly. Modern grey bricks are often known as 'bley' because of their blueish tint. **Related:** [What is the bley (blay) color?][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Minifigure Tips**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- There was only one variation of the head for Minifigures prior to **1989**, the [classic smile head][8]. This piece continues to be used for classic releases as well as Modular sets although it is not as common. We can rule out any 'non-classic' minifigure heads as being after this year.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Minifigures with two-sided heads were not produced until **2001**.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Minifigures with [short legs][9] were not produced until **2002**.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- The first minifigures with realistic skin tones were released in **2003**.

How would you deal with a user who produced a steady stream of valuable answers, but tends to generate a large number of arguments/flags from comments?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As a moderator, it is very rarely my role to &quot;deal with&quot; a user. The vast majority of users are acting in good faith and simply need a little constructive feedback from time to time. I would perform many of the same actions as other community members, such as encouraging respectful discourse via comments and discussion.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Every community is different, and ours tends to be very respectful. It takes patience and guidance to bring folks into the fold who may be used to more combative or insensitive online communities.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 2. How would you handle a situation where another mod closed/deleted/etc. a question that you feel shouldn’t have been?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would assume good faith. I've never encountered a situation here where mods acted maliciously. I'd assume that the action was either an outright mistake, or a simple difference in judgement due to missing context on the part of myself or the other mod involved. We would talk it out and work together on how best to proceed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For what it's worth, I've been the mod deleting something that another (former) mod thought should not have been deleted. In that case, there was a post by a new user offering to sell a product as an answer to a question. It was flagged by four users, and I deleted it without looking at it as deeply as I should have. I should have converted it to a comment, which I went back and did once I was called out on this. The [comment and surrounding conversation](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/12858/708) is still up. That interaction is a model for what I'd do if the shoe were on the other foot. I believe this interaction is the most &quot;heated&quot; conversation I've ever had with a mod here, which really speaks to the quality of the community we have.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 3. We get a large number of &quot;What is this element?&quot; questions, which we are great at answering, and provides a good service to the askers, but doesn't really provide much &quot;long term value to the internet&quot;. What is your approach to improving these questions to avoid a wall of identical questions?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These questions provide quick help to folks and an easy opportunity to engage for new users. They unfortunately add minimal lasting value to the site. The best approach to making these questions useful long term is to ensure that they are edited to include complete text descriptions of the part to make them searchable in the future.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Our question volume is quite low, so these questions don't bother me. If they were to become a burden on the community, we'd certainly need to revisit how they are handled. As it stands based on voting patterns, it seems like folks enjoy seeing them and answering them. Those questions have certainly surfaced some obscure and interesting parts for me.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Long term, I expect these questions to fade away as machine learning techniques continue to improve and apps to automatically identify parts become mature.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 4. How would you weigh the importance of factual knowledge versus interpersonal skills in moderators?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Interpersonal skills are much more important. It is more important to be able to resolve conflict and welcome new users than it is to be able to perfectly identify duplicate questions or resolve close votes. Many of the technical issues can be handled just fine by the community without mods getting invovled.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 5. What would you do about complaints when a user submits many trivial edits?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The two issues I see here are edits showing up in the review queue and content bubbling to the top of the active list when edited. These both matter, but neither is too disruptive to the functioning of the site. I would direct the complainants to communicate their concerns to the user making the edits. Most reasonable folks would respond to this feedback and bring their behaviors more in line with out community norms.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I believe that I was guilty of making too many small edits as a new user. I used to spend a lot of time editing Wikipedia, where folks literally build [tools to make trivial edits faster](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser), so it took me a bit to learn the norms around here. I want to make sure that new users are welcome and we do everything we can to help them learn and connect with our community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 6. How would you handle situations with unwelcoming behaviour towards new users? Be it a blatantly unresearched question, a demonstrably false answer, or even a proper contribution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Welcoming new users is core to who we are as a community. If folks are being rude or abusive towards new users, I'd call them out and remove the offending content. For less severe behavior, I'd demonstrate more welcoming behavior myself.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 7. In your opinion, what do moderators do?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We do very little above and beyond the other leaders in our community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Mods have a few extra abilities, we handle flags, and occasionally escalate issues, but other than that, we're just regular users. A few extra technical abilities don't allow mods to lead a community. Moderators are already leaders in the community who happen to be granted a few extra technical abilities.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 8. A diamond will be attached to everything you say and have said in the past, including questions, answers and comments. Everything you will do will be seen under a different light. How do you feel about that?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I always strive to act in a way that is kind, respectful, and beneficial, both on this site and elsewhere." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

That question discuss other problem with ABS plastic - brittleness, however answer provide some interesting facts:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The original ABS substance is a copolymer made of acrylonitrile,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; butadiene and styrene. It is rather hard and brittle. To make it&#xD;&#xA;&gt; softer, some proportion of a plasticizer has to be added when it's hot&#xD;&#xA;&gt; and malleable. In the last century, the plasticizer was in general&#xD;&#xA;&gt; dinonylphthalate. It works well, but it is a bit volatile. So after a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; couple of years, the plasticizer gets evaporated, and the polymer&#xD;&#xA;&gt; becomes brittle again. This &quot;illness&quot; can only be cured by remelting&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the plastic and adding some new dinonylphthalate. Today better&#xD;&#xA;&gt; plasticizers have been discovered that are not so volatile.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The &quot;old parts&quot; I had in mind are from early 90's or so, which fits the description. It also makes sense that ABS becomes less plastic when it looses its plasticizer, thus no longer being flexible enough to adjust to tiny deformations during assembly. This results in, say antistuds, no longer adjusting to studs once attached and now being tiny bit smaller causing greater clutch power.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/158584/what-causes-plastic-to-become-brittle-and-can-it-be-softened-again" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

They share a common property compared to newer sets - brick clutch power in older sets is a lot stronger. And this is something of a common observation in AFOL community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Take Technic 8880 set for example. You can feel greater power is required to assemble and take apart Technic bricks compared to what would modern same parts needed. They are not damaged or bent, and still look the same as new part. I've also noticed, when handling the assembled model, you can hear many connection points squeak, which isn't a case with modern sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is known TLG made a change from pre-colored plastic pellets to &quot;base + colored dye&quot; used in production these days. Newer bricks have slightly different properties too, like they doesn't yellow as much as old ones.

They share a common property compared to newer sets - brick clutch power in older sets is a lot stronger. And this is something of a common observation in AFOL community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Take Technic 8880 set for example. You can feel greater power is required to assemble and take apart Technic bricks compared to what would modern same parts needed. They are not damaged or bent, and still look the same as new part. I've also noticed, when handling the assembled model, you can hear many connection points squeak, which isn't a case with modern sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is known TLG made a change from pre-colored plastic pellets to &quot;base + colored dye&quot; used in production these days. Newer bricks have slightly different properties too, like they doesn't yellow as much as old ones. So obviously, some changes were made to plastic formula, but it is still ABS plastic (question is about opaque colored bricks). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I wish to understand what's the reason behind this. &#xD;&#xA;  &#xD;&#xA; - Was the clutch power always like that for bricks of that era?&#xD;&#xA; - Is it because of chemical nature where some elements within ABS plastic mixture cause clutch power to change? &#xD;&#xA; - Maybe some physical nature like temperature or humidity causing plastic to degrade/shrink over time?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ideally I would like to see answers with facts, but keeping in mind TLG may be good at keeping their secrets I'm open to all the answers with some sort of proof of the statement."

I find Studio easier to work with in many cases because it is a native application.  Both tools allow you to model with LEGO parts and get great 3D renders of the models.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Mecabricks excels in having more parts available.  With Studio there are more cases where you need to use the customization tools just to get a stock part while Mecabricks will already have the part.  I found this while working on custom minifigs, but I wouldn't be surprised if it applied to other categories of parts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It can be more challenging to get started with Mecabricks, but they have some [good tutorials pinned in their forum](https://www.mecabricks.com/en/forum/category/2)."

Here's an [example from the docs][3] to control a 3x3 LED matrix attached to a Control+ hub:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;```js&#xD;&#xA;const PoweredUP = require(&quot;..&quot;);&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;const poweredUP = new PoweredUP.PoweredUP();&#xD;&#xA;poweredUP.scan(); // Start scanning for hubs&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;console.log(&quot;Looking for Hubs...&quot;);&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;poweredUP.on(&quot;discover&quot;, async (hub) =&gt; { // Wait to discover hubs&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    await hub.connect(); // Connect to hub&#xD;&#xA;    console.log(`Connected to ${hub.name}!`);&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    const matrix = await hub.waitForDeviceByType(PoweredUP.Consts.DeviceType.TECHNIC_3X3_COLOR_LIGHT_MATRIX);&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    // setMatrix accepts an array of 9 items - Either standard color values (number),&#xD;&#xA;    // or Color objects with brightness (brightness values are 0 to 100%)&#xD;&#xA;    // It can also accept just a single color to set all 9 lights to the same color&#xD;&#xA;    matrix.setMatrix([&#xD;&#xA;        // Red at 100%, green at 20%, red at 100%&#xD;&#xA;        PoweredUP.Consts.Color.RED, new PoweredUP.Color(PoweredUP.Consts.Color.GREEN, 20), PoweredUP.Consts.Color.RED,&#xD;&#xA;        // Green at 100%, yellow at 100%, green at 100%&#xD;&#xA;        PoweredUP.Consts.Color.GREEN, PoweredUP.Consts.Color.YELLOW, PoweredUP.Consts.Color.GREEN,&#xD;&#xA;        // Red at 100%, green at 20%, red at 100%&#xD;&#xA;        PoweredUP.Consts.Color.RED, new PoweredUP.Color(PoweredUP.Consts.Color.GREEN, 20), PoweredUP.Consts.Color.RED,&#xD;&#xA;    ]);&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    hub.on(&quot;disconnect&quot;, () =&gt; {&#xD;&#xA;        console.log(&quot;Hub disconnected&quot;);&#xD;&#xA;    })&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;});&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The above example would need to be extended to support a number of hubs and lights and provide some management to write large images in a coherent way.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ot1PD.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/10487/708&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://github.com/nathankellenicki/node-poweredup/blob/master/examples/light_matrix.js" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I've only tested motors since I don't (yet) have the other sensors.  You need to access the USB HID device directly.  There are a couple of prerequisites to install:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [cython-hidapi][1], which itself depends on &#xD;&#xA;* [hidapi][2]; homebrew can install that for you.  &#xD;&#xA;* [cython][3] likewise&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You'll likely want XCode and friends installed to be on the safe side.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are a number of forks of cython-hidapi available so your mileage may vary depending on which version you use. I don't remember installation being problematic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Once those are installed and your WeDo is plugged in you can do something, at a minimum, like:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;```python&#xD;&#xA;import hid&#xD;&#xA;import time&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# vendor id, product id: &#xD;&#xA;dev = hid.device(1684, 3)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# turn both motors on&#xD;&#xA;# HID format is reportID, message type, data1, data2, ...&#xD;&#xA;dev.write([0x0, 0x40, 127, 127, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0])&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;time.sleep(1)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# turn them both off&#xD;&#xA;dev.write([0x0, 0x40, 0, 0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0])&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The changes to get WeDoMore to use hidapi instead of generic usb on a Mac don't look to be too onerous.

Again, I'll update if the pull request gets accepted]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Small side-note: The WeDo can also drive 9v motors with the correct converter cable.  I *think* it's possible to read the RCX sensors as well, but mild soldering may be required (see, e.g. [here][5] for a proof of concept).  But if the WeDo can be fooled into reading the devices then Python can be used with those other sensors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://github.com/pebble/cython-hidapi&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.signal11.us/oss/hidapi/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://cython.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://github.com/robinmacharg/WeDoMore&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://ofalcao.pt/blog/en/2014/the-lego-wedo-tilt-sensor" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I've replicated their instructions and I've managed to get 4.3.11 working with all the newly incorporated parts, with a few cmd.exe commands that only took two minutes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/149308-lego-digital-designer-install-problem/&amp;page=2&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;https://community.adobe.com/t5/flash-player-discussions/flash10b-stopping-lego-digital-designer-4-3-11-installer/m-p/10398103&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Basically the installation process pauses when you are asked to install Flash Player (no longer available for download as of 12 Jan 2021 - its EOL). &#xD;&#xA;But technically, LDD doesn't even need it, as it can run fine with OpenGL. So at the installation step when you get the prompt to Install Flash Player, DON'T click &quot;YES&quot; just yet. Follow these steps instead:&#xD;&#xA;1. run cmd.exe in your Windows search bar. &#xD;&#xA;2. Navigate to the temporary installation folder by typing this into the command line: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    cd C:\Users\&lt;yourusername&gt;\AppData\Local\Temp\WZSE0.TMP&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. You should see the file named install_flash_player_active_x.exe. &#xD;&#xA;Rename that to something else: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    rename install_flash_player_active_x.exe alt.exe&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. Rename the file OpenGLChecker.exe to install_flash_player_active_x.exe: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    rename OpenGLChecker.exe install_flash_player_active_x.exe&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5. Proceed with the LDD installation by clicking &quot;YES&quot;. &#xD;&#xA;Now the installer should skip the step where it attempts to install Flash Player.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hope this helps!"

It was produced between 1966 an 1986 and was used to power motors and lights in [a wide variety][2] of trains, technic, basic and even DUPLO sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;12V (1969 - 1993)&#xD;&#xA;-----------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![12v train][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Coexisting with this system, **a 12V standard** for LEGO Trains was introduced in 1969 and produced until 1993. The power was supplied by DC Transformer. There is no electrical compatibility between 12V and 4.5V components, and the higher voltage can damage the lower-rated parts. In addition to motors and lights, an assortment of other [12V accessories][4] were available such as automatic switch points. The 12V system had [two wires](http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/x466) or three wires [for track switches](http://www.peeron.com/inv/sets/708-1).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;9V (1985 - 2008)&#xD;&#xA;----------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![6450 Light and Sound System][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**9V** became the LEGO standard in the early 90s. There were a several different power sources, such as a single 9V battery, 6x 1.5V batteries and a DC Transformer (used exclusively for trains). The 9V system is electrically incompatible with either the 4.5V or 12V systems, but as I understand it, 9V components are electrically compatible with each other. 9V was a 2-wire system. Philo's [web site][6] provides electrical details of a variety of 9V motors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Mindstorms RCX][7]][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first generation of Mindstorms, the **RCX** generation, was again based on 9V. The original 1.0 version could be powered using a 10V DC transformer, but later versions took 6xAA batteries. It used standard LEGO 2-wire 9V connectors. When powered, the sensor inputs can supply power (at a bit less than 9V). More details of the electrical characteristics of these ports can be found in Claude Baumann's [Making Your Own RCX Sensors][8]. The same sensor interfaces were also used on the earlier and less well-known Lego DACTA Interface B but unlike on the RCX powered and unpowered sensors used different ports on the Interface B (this is why powered and unpowered sensors were different colours).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The **RC** system was introduced in 2006. The RC system uses 9V components but generally includes a remote and a chunky RC brick that peripherals can connect to.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Power Functions (2007-2021)&#xD;&#xA;---------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Power Functions (PF)** use a 4-wire system, the outer two wires providing power and the inner two control functions. Once again, it is nominally a 9V system, although it will cope with some variation to accommodate various types of batteries. For example, the 88000 AAA Battery Box uses 6 x AAA to supply up to about 9.6V and [up to to 800mA current][9], depending on the batteries used, whereas the 8878 Rechargeable Battery Box delivers 7.4 V at up to 1.1A (?).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Mindstorms NXT (2006 - 2013)&#xD;&#xA;----------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Mindstorms **NXT** system is a [6-wire][10] system. Two wires retained the 9V motor and sensor systems from the RCX while the other four provided tachometer functionality on the motor ports and a digital sensor interface on the sensor ports.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Mindstorm EV3 (2013 - 2021)&#xD;&#xA;---------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Mindstorms **EV3** uses the same 6-wire connectors as the NXT but additional functionality and a auto-detect system were added. Unfortunately in doing this they broke compatibility with 2-wire devices.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Interconnecting different 9V systems.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lego sold (now discontinued) an adaptor cable for going from the NXT to the old 9V connector. This allowed old 9V motors and RCX sensors to be used with the NXT. It also allowed NXT motors to be powered from a 9V source (obviously losing the tachometer functionality) and the NXT touch sensor to be used with a RCX or Interface B.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Unfortunately this cable doesn't work correctly with the EV3, see https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/2325/how-to-use-power-functions-with-mindstorms-ev3 and https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/8112/use-legacy-rcx-sensors-with-ev3?noredirect=1&amp;lq=1 for more discussion and possible workarounds.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lego sell an extension/adaptor cable that can be used to supply old 9V devices from a power functions source. It can also be used to supply ordinary power functions motors from an old 9V source but not to supply power functions IR receivers or server motors.

It was produced between 1966 an 1986 and was used to power motors and lights in [a wide variety][2] of trains, technic, basic and even DUPLO sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;12V (1969 - 1993)&#xD;&#xA;-----------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![12v train][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Coexisting with this system, **a 12V standard** for LEGO Trains was introduced in 1969 and produced until 1993. The power was supplied by DC Transformer. There is no electrical compatibility between 12V and 4.5V components, and the higher voltage can damage the lower-rated parts. In addition to motors and lights, an assortment of other [12V accessories][4] were available such as automatic switch points. The 12V system had [two wires](http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/x466) or three wires [for track switches](http://www.peeron.com/inv/sets/708-1).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;9V (1985 - 2008)&#xD;&#xA;----------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![6450 Light and Sound System][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**9V** became the LEGO standard in the early 90s. There were a several different power sources, such as a single 9V battery, 6x 1.5V batteries and a DC Transformer (used exclusively for trains). The 9V system is electrically incompatible with either the 4.5V or 12V systems, but as I understand it, 9V components are electrically compatible with each other. 9V was a 2-wire system. Philo's [web site][6] provides electrical details of a variety of 9V motors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Mindstorms RCX][7]][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first generation of Mindstorms, the **RCX** generation, was again based on 9V. The original 1.0 version could be powered using a 10V DC transformer, but later versions took 6xAA batteries. It used standard LEGO 2-wire 9V connectors. When powered, the sensor inputs can supply power (at a bit less than 9V). More details of the electrical characteristics of these ports can be found in Claude Baumann's [Making Your Own RCX Sensors][8]. The same sensor interfaces were also used on the earlier and less well-known Lego DACTA Interface B but unlike on the RCX powered and unpowered sensors used different ports on the Interface B (this is why powered and unpowered sensors were different colours).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The **RC** system was introduced in 2006. The RC system uses 9V components but generally includes a remote and a chunky RC brick that peripherals can connect to.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Power Functions (2007-2021)&#xD;&#xA;---------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![PF motor set][9]][9]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Power Functions (PF)** use a 4-wire system, the outer two wires providing power and the inner two control functions. Once again, it is nominally a 9V system, although it will cope with some variation to accommodate various types of batteries. For example, the 88000 AAA Battery Box uses 6 x AAA to supply up to about 9.6V and [up to to 800mA current][10], depending on the batteries used, whereas the 8878 Rechargeable Battery Box delivers 7.4 V at up to 1.1A (?).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lego sold an extension/adapter cable that can be used to supply old 9V devices from a power functions source. It can also be used to supply ordinary power functions motors from an old 9V source but not to supply power functions IR receivers or server motors.

Two wires retained the 9V motor and sensor systems from the RCX while the other four provided tachometer functionality on the motor ports and a digital sensor interface on the sensor ports. This system was available from 2006 to 2013.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Mindstorms **EV3** uses the same 6-wire connectors as the NXT but additional functionality and a auto-detect system were added. Unfortunately in doing this they broke compatibility with 2-wire devices. EV3 was available from 2013 to 2021.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lego sold an adapter cable for going from the NXT to the old 9V connector. This allowed old 9V motors and RCX sensors to be used with the NXT. It also allowed NXT motors to be powered from a 9V source (obviously losing the tachometer functionality) and the NXT touch sensor to be used with a RCX or Interface B. Unfortunately, this cable [doesn't work correctly](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/2325/how-to-use-power-functions-with-mindstorms-ev3 and https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/8112/use-legacy-rcx-sensors-with-ev3?noredirect=1&amp;lq=1) with the EV3.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Powered Up (2016 - Present)&#xD;&#xA;---------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![App-controlled Batmobile][12]][12]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Begining in 2016, products across all product lines began using the same electrical standard.

Hubs and peripherals from these systems are generally compatible with one another.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This system includes hubs that can be controlled via Bluetooth, allowing apps to control most sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Electrically, this system is still 9 volts, but the connector and signaling are not compatible with any of the previous 9v systems. An adapter has never been produced to connect this system with older components.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/2kvGK.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/4.5V&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6lVum.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/12V&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/30T9g.png&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://www.philohome.com/motors/motorcomp.htm&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/rkguL.png&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: http://www.convict.lu/Jeunes/ultimate_stuff/Making%20your%20own%20RCX%20sensors_part2.pdf&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/nVPe8.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: http://powerfunctions.lego.com/en-us/products/default.aspx&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: http://www.stewartallen.org/2010/08/designing-lego-mindstorms-nxt-sensors/&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/X63So.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Unfortunately, this cable [doesn't](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/2325/how-to-use-power-functions-with-mindstorms-ev3) work [correctly](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/8112/use-legacy-rcx-sensors-with-ev3?noredirect=1&amp;lq=1) with the EV3.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Powered Up (2016 - Present)&#xD;&#xA;---------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![App-controlled Batmobile][12]][12]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Begining in 2016, products across all product lines began using the same electrical standard. This change began with [WeDo 2.0](https://rebrickable.com/sets/45300-1/wedo-20-core-set/) and eventually grew to include Trains, Technic, and Mindstorms.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This system goes by many names, including **Powered Up**, **Control+**, **LPF2**, **WeDo 2.0**, **BOOST**, and **Robot Inventor**. Hubs and peripherals from these systems are generally compatible with one another.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This system includes hubs that can be controlled via Bluetooth, allowing apps to control most sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Electrically, this system is still 9 volts, but the connector and signalling are not compatible with any of the previous 9v systems. An adapter has never been produced to connect this system with older components.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Robot Inventor][13]][13]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/2kvGK.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/4.5V&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6lVum.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/12V&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/30T9g.png&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://www.philohome.com/motors/motorcomp.htm&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/rkguL.png&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: http://www.convict.lu/Jeunes/ultimate_stuff/Making%20your%20own%20RCX%20sensors_part2.pdf&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/nVPe8.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: http://powerfunctions.lego.com/en-us/products/default.aspx&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: http://www.stewartallen.org/2010/08/designing-lego-mindstorms-nxt-sensors/&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/X63So.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [13]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/nkCDo.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

This is accomplished via the [8 bladed propeller][3] and bush at the top that are used to form an [escapement][4]. Each key press allows the propeller to rotate 1/8 of a turn, and this rotation allows a small lateral movement of the carriage.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are several issues that could cause this to not work properly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Complete Failure&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If everything is jammed, the following behavior may be seen:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Keys can't be pressed&#xD;&#xA;- Keys can be pressed, but nothing happens&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are many issues that could cause this. There are two specific issues called out in the instructions as common sources of errors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Be sure the propeller is installed the right way around in step 197:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![step 197 callout][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ensure that the escapement is built in the correct orientation in step 205:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![step 205 callout][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Either of those issue will prevent the mechanism from working properly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A general issue that may cause this to fail is simply building the gearbox or keys with too much friction. It is important not to install gears or bushes too tightly to prevent friction. I will typically push parts together as tight as they will go then back them off by a very small amount. There used to guidance on this in the instructions for Technic sets:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![too much friction][7]][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This doesn't always matter, but in an assembly like this where there are many connections and gravity is used to provide force to make everything work correctly, it is important not to add additional friction.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Typebar not Returning&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the typebar moves when a key is pressed, but never falls back down from hitting the page, then the core gearbox is likely working properly. This is especially true if the carriage moves as expected if the typebar is returned manually.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This could be due to excess friction in the gearbox as above. Another issue that I encountered was forgetting the half bush in step 152:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![step 152 half bush][8]][8]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This prevents the keys from fully engaging with the escapement mechanism and limits its ability to return the typebar to its original position.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's worth noting that the springs under the carriage are able to transfer some of their force back to the keys and typebar. The typebar is most likely to work properly when the carriage is in the rightmost position, and may have difficulty returning when the carriage is all the way to the left, as the escapement mechanism will no longer be transferring any energy back through the system.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note on Restricted Movement After Step 177&#xD;&#xA;------------------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The problem seems to go back to step 177 when a block assembly is placed. Up until then the large section installed at step 153 was free to move around an inch or so forward.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I want to clarify that this is the expected behavior. The following assembly is the one installed in step 153:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![153 assembly][9]][9]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It has a lot of play until this assembly is installed in step 177:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![176 assembly][10]][10]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here it is after installation:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![step 177][11]][11]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After that point, it has probably about a centimeter of play if installed correctly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/OCzQ4.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/LZMfH.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://rebrickable.com/parts/41530/propeller-8-blade-5-diameter/&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escapement&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/DuRxM.png&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/bkJXS.png&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/eQYU2.png&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/EJ98Q.png&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/0SkOK.png&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6PcxR.png&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Uu4PT.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

However, here are some suggestions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. It looks like your file has been corrupted during the previous save. To prevent this in the future, it is best to make a copy of the program at the end of each day and keep it somewhere safe, for example on a USB thumb drive. This will also save you if your computer were to crash some day.&#xD;&#xA; 2. In the meanwhile, try going to the File Explorer in Windows, find the saved file and right-click on it. Hopefully it shows something like “show versions” which might allow you to find the state of the file from a previous save. &#xD;&#xA; 3. If that option is not there (and it very well might not be), use this as an opportunity to teach your grouo about the value of backups, and redo the programs. If this is for FLL, you might have printouts of the programs for your binder, which you can use to recreate the program?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Good luck." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

This is accomplished via the [8 bladed propeller][3] and bush at the top that are used to form an [escapement][4]. Each key press allows the propeller to rotate 1/8 of a turn, and this rotation allows a small lateral movement of the carriage.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are several issues that could cause this to not work properly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Complete Failure&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If everything is jammed, the following behavior may be seen:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Keys can't be pressed&#xD;&#xA;- Keys can be pressed, but nothing happens&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are many issues that could cause this. There are two specific issues called out in the instructions as common sources of errors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Be sure the propeller is installed the right way around in step 197:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![step 197 callout][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ensure that the escapement is built in the correct orientation in step 205:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![step 205 callout][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Either of those issue will prevent the mechanism from working properly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A general issue that may cause this to fail is simply building the gearbox or keys with too much friction. It is important not to install gears or bushes too tightly to prevent friction. I will typically push parts together as tight as they will go then back them off by a very small amount. There used to guidance on this in the instructions for Technic sets:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![too much friction][7]][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This doesn't always matter, but in an assembly like this where there are many connections and gravity is used to provide force to make everything work correctly, it is important not to add additional friction.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Typebar not Returning&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the typebar moves when a key is pressed, but never falls back down from hitting the page, then the core gearbox is likely working properly. This is especially true if the carriage moves as expected if the typebar is returned manually.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This could be due to excess friction in the gearbox as above. Another issue that I encountered was forgetting the half bush in step 152:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![step 152 half bush][8]][8]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This prevents the keys from fully engaging with the escapement mechanism and limits its ability to return the typebar to its original position.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's worth noting that the springs under the carriage are able to transfer some of their force back to the keys and typebar. The typebar is most likely to work properly when the carriage is in the rightmost position, and may have difficulty returning when the carriage is all the way to the left, as the escapement mechanism will no longer be transferring any energy back through the system.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note on Restricted Movement After Step 177&#xD;&#xA;------------------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The problem seems to go back to step 177 when a block assembly is placed. Up until then the large section installed at step 153 was free to move around an inch or so forward.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I want to clarify that this is the expected behavior. The following assembly is the one installed in step 153:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![153 assembly][9]][9]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It has a lot of play until this assembly is installed in step 177:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![176 assembly][10]][10]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here it is after installation:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![step 177][11]][11]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After that point, it has probably about a centimeter of play if installed correctly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/OCzQ4.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/LZMfH.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://rebrickable.com/parts/41530/propeller-8-blade-5-diameter/&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escapement&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/DuRxM.png&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/bkJXS.png&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/eQYU2.png&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/EJ98Q.png&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/0SkOK.png&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6PcxR.png&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Uu4PT.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I was surprised to see that the many white parts are not as white as I expected. I compared this set with white elements from my other sets. On the picture, you see elements from the [5974 Galactic Enforcer, 2009][2], [70810 Metalbeard's Sea Cow, 2014][3], and the [31109 Pirate Ship, 2020][4]. &#xD;&#xA;[![Comparison of white elements][5]][5]   &#xD;&#xA;It is not quite obvious on the image, but all sets have exactly the same, ivory white. For comparison, I placed them on a blank white paper. I remembered having seen much brighter shades of white in older sets, so I dug deeper and found a [6982 Explorien Starship, 1996][6] with many yellowed white parts, but also some parts that hadn't yellowed at all:&#xD;&#xA;[![Comparison between white from 1996 and 2020][7]][7]&#xD;&#xA;On the picture, you see the famous [30037 Wing Plate Bi-level 12 x 9 x 2 1/3][8] over the Pirate Ship sails. Again, the light for the picture is not the best, but the white colour from 1996 is much brighter than the more recent version of LEGO White. I assume that in 1996, all white parts were of the same hue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My question is whether there was a change in the LEGO colour &quot;White&quot; and whether this change can be attributed to a certain date or a known change in the production process?&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Any hint is appreciated.

How difficult would it have been to make them exactly square? But instead the width between the surfaces with the holes in them is the same width as a studded beam, while the width between the smooth surfaces is very slightly less. Although this doesn't matter in all the typical vehicle-builds that lego make, it's decidedly untidy when combining studded and studless, and it makes for unnecessary headaches if you try to build anything unusual (for example you need a studless beam to slide exactly in a hole, smoothly but without undue sideways wiggle). It seems very un-Lego, where normally the dimensions are either set by history, or designed so that all sorts of unexpected constructions remain possible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I notice that the whole studded versus studless argument didn't develop in the straightforward way most of us expected. Lego Creator has become quite &quot;technical&quot; in its construction, while remaining studless - a lot of the old studded technical pieces are staples of Creator, and odd studless bits drop into it too. To my mind, Creator is often where Lego is at its most creative. So presumably the cost of making studded &quot;technical&quot; Lego wasn't so disastrous.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I do think the Patent argument has a lot of truth. Studless developed at a time when studded was going out of patent and all the world and it's plastic-moulding friends were producing knock-off Lego-compatible building sets. Since then, we've realised that most (all?) of them are excruciatingly low-quality, so they simply aren't the risk to Lego that they first appeared. And some of them are no longer all that cheap compared to the real thing." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

It seems to be that the XL motor can pull so much more due to the increase in size of the whole motor but takes a lot more time to do a full 360-degree spin, and for the M motor it takes about less than a second to do a whole spin. If you want to buy a motor due to its speed but lack in torque, buy an M motor. If you want to have a stronger motor and won't get jammed easily, buy XL motor.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you already have an XL motor (or L motor) and you don't want to buy another (M or L) motor just increase the gear ratio. Take a huge gear wheel and get a small gear wheel and connect them to your build. Basically what is happening here is the big gear wheel is taking longer to make a whole 360 degrees spin and while its trying to do that the small gear is going twice as fast as the big gear and therefore makes it go fast.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here is a image of the motor [![enter image description here][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/sx0ey.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

These factors will depend on the exposure and intensity of heat. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Stickers subjected to heat easily warp and peel, discolouration may occur.&#xD;&#xA; - Rubber bricks such as tyres are particularly vulnerable, extended exposure to heat can cause them to be oily and eventually brittle.&#xD;&#xA; - Electronic components such as Power Functions and NXT. Most of these sets will contain safety instructions detailing limitations and ideal conditions. Some sets will require electronics with alkaline/lithium batteries which have their own tolerances. Most of these instructions will probably advise against any exposure to heat sources out of caution.&#xD;&#xA; - There are other more unusual materials that are less common like [string][1], [felt][2], [foam][3] and [paper][4] that may react differently or not at all.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Most LEGO pieces are made from ABS plastic but there are developments into [recycled plastics][5] as well as [bioplastics][6]. Naturally, different plastics have different properties and will react differently, even different colours can fade at different rates. White bricks for example tend to yellow first.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you have some spare bricks that you don't mind experimenting with, it might be worth trying to see which parts/colours are affected near the fireplace and compare them to identical parts stored elseware?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&amp;catString=231&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&amp;catString=1078&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&amp;catString=234&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&amp;catString=246&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://www.lego.com/en-us/aboutus/news/2021/june/prototype-lego-brick-recycled-plastic/&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://www.awesomeinventions.com/lego-bioplastic-collection-sourced-from-sugarcane/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Not the multitude of trans-clear colors we have today. While they are all supposed to be &quot;uncolored&quot; I found that there are at least 4 distinct colors variants:  &#xD;&#xA; - Plain &quot;uncolored&quot; glass&#xD;&#xA; - A very light grey-ish variant&#xD;&#xA; - A very light blue-ish variant&#xD;&#xA; - A very light brownish variant&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I know that Lego has changed dyes and plastic composition over time and that has an effect on color.  &#xD;&#xA;However this is more than a slight variation. The faint color is noticeable even if you look at a single piece without another piece near it for reference.  &#xD;&#xA;Side by side the color difference really stands out.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This discoloration is not from storage conditions. This Lego has been stored in boxes in a closed cupboard (no UV exposure) at constant temperature (19-20 Celsius) for many years. Even if there was some storage effect it would have affected all the Lego in the same way. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Furthermore: I clearly remember that as a kid back in the 70's I already noticed this and I tried to use only the same color variant in a single build.  &#xD;&#xA;I also recall having 2 identical sets (653) with different colors for the transparent pieces and also having 2 color variants appear in a single set (420 and 445).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Was this normal back in the day or are my examples unusual?

Try something like this for the actuator and the base of the parallelogram:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![sketch, base][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The key is using [6536 Axle and Pin Connector Perpendicular](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=6536) to provide the extra degree of freedom.

It consists of a MyBlock to drive straight a specified distance and speed utilizing the Gyro sensor.  The program then activates a third large motor to actuate the green large motor block to rotate the motor 45 degrees to activate one of the missions.  On the drive out (MyBlock), the large motor also starts running at the same time instead of sequentially.  Can anyone help me figure out why this occurred?

Here is an example of the problem: [![Instruction Manual Mistake][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;Clearly, the issue is not a printing error. Instead, the issue stems from incorrectly stapling the wrong pages together. It appears that four pages were duplicated and stapled into the center of the booklet in place of the four pages which should have been there. In other words, Steps 8-54 were repeated. I contacted LEGO Customer Service to warn them of the error so that they could increase quality control and track down the source of the issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As it turned out, LEGO Customer Service quickly responded and requested that I send them a unique identification code from the boxes that contained the incorrect instruction manuals. When I asked for clarification, they explained that sets had a four-digit number printed on the cardboard box next to the barcode, which provided information regarding the date and location of manufacture.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are three different Manufacturing Code Numbers I found on my boxed sets:[![LEGO Manufacturing Code Number on Sealing Tape][3]][3][![LEGO Manufacturing Code Number printed upside-down next to barcode][4]][4][![Another LEGO Manufacturing Code Number printed next to barcode][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Therefore, the four-digit code you found embossed on your boxed set is, in fact, an official LEGO Group Manufacturing Code Number that provides unique identifying information for the set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/igUvK.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/9go3p.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/GjaVq.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/v3ur2.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/CgYIa.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Here is an example of the problem:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Instruction Manual Mistake][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Clearly, the issue is not a printing error. Instead, the issue stems from incorrectly stapling the wrong pages together. It appears that four pages were duplicated and stapled into the center of the booklet in place of the four pages which should have been there. In other words, Steps 8-54 were repeated. I contacted LEGO Customer Service to warn them of the error so that they could increase quality control and track down the source of the issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As it turned out, LEGO Customer Service quickly responded and requested that I send them a unique identification code from the boxes that contained the incorrect instruction manuals. When I asked for clarification, they explained that sets had a four-digit number printed on the cardboard box next to the barcode, which provided information regarding the date and location of manufacture.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are three different Manufacturing Code Numbers I found on my boxed sets:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![LEGO Manufacturing Code Number on Sealing Tape][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![LEGO Manufacturing Code Number printed upside-down next to barcode][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Another LEGO Manufacturing Code Number printed next to barcode][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Therefore, the four-digit code you found embossed on your boxed set is, in fact, an official LEGO Group Manufacturing Code Number that provides unique identifying information for the set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/7014/what-does-the-4-digit-number-embossed-on-my-lego-set-represent/7015#7015&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/igUvK.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/9go3p.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/GjaVq.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/v3ur2.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/CgYIa.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

[...] I wound up with a bunch of [boxes with] dimension: 33.78 x 37.78 x 40.00 cm (~45L).  If I pack the bricks into these until they are full, it takes about 20 boxes to hold the collection [...].  No idea what the weight is on that, but if you consider **10,000 pcs/45L of volume**, that might give you a rough estimate. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the other hand, the [&quot;Art of the Brick Quirky LEGO Facts&quot;](https://www.fi.edu/sites/default/files/PressKit_ArtOfTheBrick_Quirky_LEGO_Facts.pdf) document linked by [DavidPostill](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/users/7770/davidpostill) says (again, emphasis mine):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The company has made **400 billion** LEGO elements or 62 bricks for every person on the planet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm assuming short-scale billions (10&lt;sup&gt;9&lt;/sup&gt;), not long scale billions (10&lt;sup&gt;12&lt;/sup&gt;). [Billions are confusing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billion).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Putting the numbers together we've got **1 800 000 000 litres** (or 1.8×10&lt;sup&gt;9&lt;/sup&gt; litres, or 1.8 million cubic meters).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Punching that figure into wolfram alpha](https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=1.8+%C3%97+10%5E9+liters) provides a few amusing comparisons: that's 1.7 Empire State Buildings, or a cube with 122-meter-long edges.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But you're not interested in cubes. You ask:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If we [...] make a pile of them, roughly how big would the pile be?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Assuming that your pile is a cone with its radius equal to its height (i.e. it has a 45° slope), and doing the numbers, that would be a cone 120 meters high and 240 meters wide.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You also ask:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Would it fill 10 Olympic-sized pools, maybe?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A [standard-sized Olympic swimming pool](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic-size_swimming_pool) is (at least) 50×25×2 meters or 2.5 million litres. Doing the math throws out a rough estimate of (at most) 720 standard-sized Olympic swimming pools.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Again: these are very rough estimates based on the information linked above. It's possible that there's a more accurate estimate if more reliable numbers are used.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In particular, it should be possible to do a query to the bricklink database, and get the amount of parts for sale, per part; that should give an idea of how the different parts are distributed (i.e. &quot;how many 1x1 tiles are there for each 2x4 brick?&quot;). Normalize those numbers to bump the total to the &quot;400×10&lt;sup&gt;9&lt;/sup&gt;&quot; figure. As bricklink has data about the dimensions of each part, it should be possible to get a good estimate, maybe getting rid of very large parts along the way. Do not forget about the [packing fraction](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packing_density), too." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Here is an example of the problem:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Instruction Manual Mistake][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Clearly, the issue is not a printing error. Instead, the issue stems from incorrectly stapling the wrong pages together. It appears that four pages were duplicated and stapled into the center of the booklet in place of the four pages which should have been there. In other words, Steps 8-54 were repeated. I contacted LEGO Customer Service to warn them of the error so that they could increase quality control and track down the source of the issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As it turned out, LEGO Customer Service quickly responded and requested that I send them a unique identification code from the boxes that contained the incorrect instruction manuals. When I asked for clarification, they explained that sets had a four- or five-digit number printed either on the cardboard box next to the barcode or on the sealing tape. They explained that this number provided information regarding the date and location of the set's manufacture and assembly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are three different Manufacturing Code Numbers I found on my boxed sets:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![LEGO Manufacturing Code Number on Sealing Tape][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![LEGO Manufacturing Code Number printed upside-down next to barcode][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Another LEGO Manufacturing Code Number printed next to barcode][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Therefore, the four-digit code you found embossed on your boxed set is, in fact, an official LEGO Group Manufacturing Code Number that provides unique identifying information for the set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/7014/what-does-the-4-digit-number-embossed-on-my-lego-set-represent/7015#7015&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/igUvK.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/9go3p.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/GjaVq.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/v3ur2.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/CgYIa.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

From Wikipedia:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Copyright&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; A type of intellectual property that gives its owner the exclusive right to copy and distribute a **creative work**, usually for a limited time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Trademark&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; A type of intellectual property consisting of a recognizable sign, design, or expression that **identifies products or services from a particular source** and distinguishes them from others.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Patent&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; A type of intellectual property that gives its owner the legal right to exclude others from making, using, or selling **an invention** for a limited period of time in exchange for publishing an enabling disclosure of the invention.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Industrial Design Right or Design Patent&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; An intellectual property right that **protects the visual design of objects that are not purely utilitarian**.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is very easy to get these mixed up.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Trademark never expires, and relates to a specific design or mark that identifies a product or brand. The shape of the LEGO minifigure is trademarked. The word &quot;LEGO&quot; is also trademarked.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The &quot;Red LEGO Brick&quot; judgement from 2010 struck down the idea that the shape of the 2x4 LEGO brick could be trademarked. The reasoning behind this decision was that the shape is functional and it would not be possible for another company to design another shape that functioned in the same manner without being essentially the same item.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Copyright rarely applies to functional designs like building blocks. It is used for purely creative works. It may apply in the case of box art, instructions, or complete set designs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Patents cover novel and non-obvious functional inventions. The stud and tube design was successfully patented in 1958 and the patent has since expired.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Original patent][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Design patents are a bit different than regular patents. They still represents novel and non-obvious functional inventions, but can be granted for a different visual structure that performs a similar function to prior art. For example, the Coke bottle was covered by a now expired design patent, but is still covered under trademark:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Design Patent][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The [2016 Application for Declaration of Invalidity][3] that you mentioned revolves around a [registered community design (RCD)][4]. I believe that this is an EU legal structure that is effectively a design patent or industrial design right.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The application referenced the 2010 2x4 brick trademark case. The rationale for denying this request to have the RCD invalidated was related to the arguments related to trademark in that case not applying to an RCD. Trademark should rarely apply only to specific non-functional design elements, otherwise the patent system need not exist as entities could simply permanently trademark everything they design. Patents can be more broad in the designs they cover, as they allow only for a limited period of exclusive use.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In practice, very few elements appear to be eligible trademark. The minifig is the most common one that I'm aware of. The 2010 case makes it clear that regular bricks are generally not eligible for trademark protections, even bricks like the 2x4 that are iconic and largely synonymous with the idea of a LEGO brick.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That implies that most element designs will fall under patent law rather than trademark. In order to be eligible for a patent, the design must be novel and non-obvious. If a patent is awarded for a design, it will typically be protected for some number of years, typically on the order of about 25. Here's an example of a [recent LEGO element patent][5]:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![element patent][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The patent on that design is expected to expire in 2034.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One may think that in order to make elements that are free of patent infringement, it would be sufficient to be aware of all of [TLG's non-expired patents][8]. However, anyone can be granted a patent for a LEGO-compatible element. Here's another recent patent:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Mega Patent https://patents.google.com/patent/US10583368B2][9]][9]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That patent was awarded to Mega Brands, so even TLG can't make that element until the patent expires in 2036. Unfortunately, determining which designs are patent infringing currently and which are not is non-trivial, and there is a reason these companies have legal teams.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thankfully, there is a somewhat simpler answer to the question:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**If an element already exists, and was created long enough ago that its patent would have expired in the jurisdiction of interest, it should be free to use.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This does assume that the element is not eligible for trademark protection, but it seems that most are not. Anyone can manufacture and sell a LEGO-compatible 2x4 brick in a product. All other common building elements that were around in the 80s should also be fine. Beyond that, it gets complicated.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/XIRQy.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/tg3ob.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://euipo.europa.eu/eSearch/#details/designs/001664368-0006&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_design&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://patents.google.com/patent/USD846035S1&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ObTN8.png&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/2J1Ab.png&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://patents.google.com/?assignee=lego%20as&amp;status=GRANT&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/t0hVe.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

It's simple enough that I can ask people in the public to do it when I'm lazy, but for bigger displays it's a given that the points of possible failure should be minimized as much as possible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So my question is, is it possible to create a mechanism that would auto-unblock?

It's simple enough that I can ask people in the public to do it when I'm lazy, but for bigger displays it's a given that the points of possible failure should be minimized as much as possible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So my question is, is it possible to create a mechanism that would auto-unblock?

It still is to this day. One thing that caught me off guard was the fact that the villains of the Phantom Zone were from other movies, such as Sauron from The Lord Of The Rings, Voldemort from Harry Potter, the shark from Jaws, Medusa from Lego Minifigures, the Wicked Witch and her Flying Monkeys from The Wizard Of Oz, The Daleks from Doctor Who, Agent Smith and his clones from The Matrix, the Gremlins, the T. Rex from Lego Dino Hunters, and the Velociraptors from Jurassic Park. My favorite Phantom Zone villian, though, has always been the Kraken from Clash Of The Titans (whom a lot of us mistook for Godzilla when the movie first came out) because he just has a sick design and is also the biggest character in the movie, consisting of 111,284 bricks according to a video I found on YouTube. I’ve always wished they made him into a real set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, I’ve looked online, and apparently, no one has ever tried to make their own Kraken, nor have they pitched the idea to Lego, which I want to do. It may be understandable as to why Lego hasn’t made this real. For one thing, it would have to be in a pretty big box, with three or four smaller boxes inside for different sections, like the colosseum set they released in 2020. For another, it’d cost a lot of money, and would take a long time to build. For another, it’d be a big build, so you’d had to have the space to display it. However, Lego has made sets of a similar size, like the Colosseum, the Hogwarts Castle, the Titanic, the World Map, the Super Mario Question Block, and the Millennium Falcon. But there is one question I have in mind. If I can’t get Lego to make this into an official set or find someone else to make it real for me, what kind of pieces would I need to make my own?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Let me start with the pieces I think or know for sure he is made from.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When the villains make their way to Wayne Manor, there is a shot of Joker riding the Kraken’s nose as he leads them there. In this shot, you can make out some of the pieces they used for the Kraken’s head.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/brickipedia/images/6/6a/%D0%9A%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%B5%D0%BD2.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20180519145817&amp;path-prefix=ru&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you can see from that photo, the main portion of his head appears to be made from 1x4 bricks, along with some 1x3s,2x2s, tall 1x2s,both thin and wide, tall 1x1s, 1x5s, and some 1x6s. As for plates, I can really only make out 1x4s and 2x2s. You can also see one big brick in front of his eye. I don’t know what to call that brick. If anyone knows the name of that particular piece, please let me know. It would really help me out. Speaking of his eyes, the Kraken’s eye is most definitely made of 1x1 bricks, especially around the pupil area, along with 1x2 bricks, 1x3 bricks, and 1x4 bricks. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The rest of his body is harder to tell. For his hand and arms, you can tell from the top and bottom that they used 2x4s. His teeth are probably tall 1x1s and 1x2s. I thought they were made of some 2x2s, but now I’m not so sure. In this shot of the Kraken and King Kong tearing a building the gang is hiding in, that is one of the few full body shots of him you can see in the movie.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/brickipedia/images/6/68/%D0%9A%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%B5%D0%BD3.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20180519145837&amp;path-prefix=ru&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It’s not that good, and yes, there are slightly better pictures, but I don’t want to wast time finding them. You can watch the movie to look for them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Kraken’s lower body I’m guessing is made of 2x2x3s, with a few 1x4s and 1x5s here and there. A single giant stud in the center connects his torso to his lower body. His head is most likely connected with a brick built version of a typical Lego Minifigure neck.

It still is to this day. One thing that caught me off guard was the fact that the villains of the Phantom Zone were from other movies, such as Sauron from The Lord Of The Rings, Voldemort from Harry Potter, the shark from Jaws, Medusa from Lego Minifigures, the Wicked Witch and her Flying Monkeys from The Wizard Of Oz, The Daleks from Doctor Who, Agent Smith and his clones from The Matrix, the Gremlins, the T. Rex from Lego Dino Hunters, and the Velociraptors from Jurassic Park. My favorite Phantom Zone villian, though, has always been the Kraken from Clash Of The Titans (whom a lot of us mistook for Godzilla when the movie first came out) because he just has a sick design and is also the biggest character in the movie, consisting of 111,284 bricks according to a video I found on YouTube. I’ve always wished they made him into a real set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, I’ve looked online, and apparently, no one has ever tried to make their own Kraken, nor have they pitched the idea to Lego, which I want to do. It may be understandable as to why Lego hasn’t made this real. For one thing, it would have to be in a pretty big box, with three or four smaller boxes inside for different sections, like the colosseum set they released in 2020. For another, it’d cost a lot of money, and would take a long time to build. For another, it’d be a big build, so you’d had to have the space to display it. However, Lego has made sets of a similar size, like the Colosseum, the Hogwarts Castle, the Titanic, the World Map, the Super Mario Question Block, and the Millennium Falcon. But there is one question I have in mind. If I can’t get Lego to make this into an official set or find someone else to make it real for me, what kind of pieces would I need to make my own?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Let me start with the pieces I think or know for sure he is made from.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When the villains make their way to Wayne Manor, there is a shot of Joker riding the Kraken’s nose as he leads them there. In this shot, you can make out some of the pieces they used for the Kraken’s head.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/brickipedia/images/6/6a/%D0%9A%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%B5%D0%BD2.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20180519145817&amp;path-prefix=ru&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Kraken][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you can see from that photo, the main portion of his head appears to be made from 1x4 bricks, along with some 1x3s,2x2s, tall 1x2s,both thin and wide, tall 1x1s, 1x5s, and some 1x6s. As for plates, I can really only make out 1x4s and 2x2s. You can also see one big brick in front of his eye. I don’t know what to call that brick. If anyone knows the name of that particular piece, please let me know. It would really help me out. Speaking of his eyes, the Kraken’s eye is most definitely made of 1x1 bricks, especially around the pupil area, along with 1x2 bricks, 1x3 bricks, and 1x4 bricks. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The rest of his body is harder to tell. For his hand and arms, you can tell from the top and bottom that they used 2x4s. His teeth are probably tall 1x1s and 1x2s. I thought they were made of some 2x2s, but now I’m not so sure. In this shot of the Kraken and King Kong tearing a building the gang is hiding in, that is one of the few full body shots of him you can see in the movie.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/brickipedia/images/6/68/%D0%9A%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%B5%D0%BD3.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20180519145837&amp;path-prefix=ru&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Kraken][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It’s not that good, and yes, there are slightly better pictures, but I don’t want to wast time finding them. You can watch the movie to look for them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Kraken’s lower body I’m guessing is made of 2x2x3s, with a few 1x4s and 1x5s here and there. A single giant stud in the center connects his torso to his lower body. His head is most likely connected with a brick built version of a typical Lego Minifigure neck.  I can’t tell what pieces make up the stud.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A few final questions I have.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What pieces would I need to make his tail and arms move, especially since he has three more joints than an average Lego minifigure?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;How could I make sure the holes are the right size to fit his arms without them falling out or being too loose? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;How do I size up his torso and lower body correctly?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Should I make the inside of his torso hollow or put a hole underneath to attach to his lower body?

They belong to `https://github.com/in4lio/ev3dev-c` and you need to compile and install them. Instructions are given in `https://github.com/in4lio/ev3dev-c/tree/stretch/docker/README.md' file - which you will also have if you do &#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;mkdir -p ~/src&#xD;&#xA;cd ~/src&#xD;&#xA;git clone https://github.com/in4lio/ev3dev-c.git&#xD;&#xA;``` &#xD;&#xA;Because I want the C development headers in place (they get put into `/usr/local/include/`) and not install every time I run the container I put them inside the Docker image. To do that I open the Dockerfile located inside `~/src/ev3dev-c/docker/` and make edits. They are not the best, probably, since I probably use sudo too much, but here is the modified Dockerfile:&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;FROM ev3dev/debian-stretch-cross:latest&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;RUN sudo apt-get update&#xD;&#xA;RUN sudo apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends swig3.0 python-dev&#xD;&#xA;RUN sudo apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends build-essential&#xD;&#xA;RUN sudo apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends git&#xD;&#xA;WORKDIR /home/robot&#xD;&#xA;RUN sudo git clone https://github.com/in4lio/ev3dev-c.git&#xD;&#xA;WORKDIR /home/robot/ev3dev-c&#xD;&#xA;RUN sudo git submodule update --init --recursive&#xD;&#xA;WORKDIR /home/robot/ev3dev-c/source/ev3/&#xD;&#xA;RUN sudo make &amp;&amp; sudo make install&#xD;&#xA;RUN sudo make shared &amp;&amp; make shared-install&#xD;&#xA;RUN sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;It works and the resulting image will be about 300 MB larger than `ev3dev/debian-stretch-cross`. In order to make the image file you change into the same directory as the Dockerfile is, make sure your 2 files you will need to execute have execute permissions (e.g. `chmod ug+x ./build.sh`) and run the `build.sh` file. After a little while it should successfully add `ev3cc` image to your docker images and you can now run it executing `dock.sh`&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;[user@computer ev3dev-c]$ docker images&#xD;&#xA;REPOSITORY                    TAG       IMAGE ID       CREATED         SIZE&#xD;&#xA;ev3cc                         latest    021f7f962c28   9 minutes ago   1.09GB&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;``` &#xD;&#xA;Before executing `dock.sh` though, change one directory up. The script mounts your current directory into a corresponding directory inside the container, where you can do the compilation. (And while you are at it, do not forget to examine Dockerfile and other small files in the same folder - they are very small scripts and pretty self-explanatory)&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;cd ..&#xD;&#xA;./docker/dock.sh&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;then you will be put inside the container prompt and will be able to compile the hello example issuing `make` command:&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;compiler@ev3dev:/home/robot/ev3dev-c$ cd eg/hello/&#xD;&#xA;compiler@ev3dev:/home/robot/ev3dev-c/eg/hello$ make&#xD;&#xA;make -f ../Makefile.Debug&#xD;&#xA;make[1]: Entering directory '/home/robot/ev3dev-c/eg/hello'&#xD;&#xA;arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc -I. -I../../source/ev3 -I../../3d_party -O2 -std=gnu99 -W -Wall -Wno-comment -c hello.c -o ../../object/hello.o&#xD;&#xA;arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc ../../object/modp_numtoa.o ../../object/brick.o ../../object/crc32.o ../../object/ev3.o ../../object/ev3_dc.o ../../object/ev3_led.o ../../object/ev3_light.o ../../object/ev3_port.o ../../object/ev3_sensor.o ../../object/ev3_servo.o ../../object/ev3_tacho.o ../../object/hello.o -o Debug/hello -lm &#xD;&#xA;***  Debug/hello ***&#xD;&#xA;make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/robot/ev3dev-c/eg/hello'&#xD;&#xA;compiler@ev3dev:/home/robot/ev3dev-c/eg/hello$&#xD;&#xA;compiler@ev3dev:/home/robot/ev3dev-c/eg/hello$ ls -l Debug/&#xD;&#xA;total 116&#xD;&#xA;-rwxr-xr-x 1 compiler compiler 111140 Jun  3 11:26 hello&#xD;&#xA;drwxr-xr-x 2 compiler compiler   4096 Jun  2 16:14 mingw&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;Now as you have seen your compiled hello example is in your `Debug` subdirectory and it is accessible to your host computer (because of `-v` volume mount from `docker run` options in `dock.sh`) as `~/src/ev3dev-c/eg/hello/Debug/`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can use any ssh transfer program such as _FileZilla_ to transport the compiled `hello` binary to your robot and run it there - for example from ssh prompt.

It still is to this day. One thing that caught me off guard was the fact that the villains of the Phantom Zone were from other movies, such as Sauron from The Lord Of The Rings, Voldemort from Harry Potter, the shark from Jaws, Medusa from Lego Minifigures, the Wicked Witch and her Flying Monkeys from The Wizard Of Oz, The Daleks from Doctor Who, Agent Smith and his clones from The Matrix, the Gremlins, the T. Rex from Lego Dino Hunters, and the Velociraptors from Jurassic Park. My favorite Phantom Zone villian, though, has always been the Kraken from Clash Of The Titans (whom a lot of us mistook for Godzilla when the movie first came out) because he just has a sick design and is also the biggest character in the movie, consisting of 111,284 bricks according to a video I found on YouTube. I’ve always wished they made him into a real set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, I’ve looked online, and apparently, no one has ever tried to make their own Kraken, nor have they pitched the idea to Lego, which I want to do. It may be understandable as to why Lego hasn’t made this real. For one thing, it would have to be in a pretty big box, with three or four smaller boxes inside for different sections, like the colosseum set they released in 2020. For another, it’d cost a lot of money, and would take a long time to build. For another, it’d be a big build, so you’d had to have the space to display it. However, Lego has made sets of a similar size, like the Colosseum, the Hogwarts Castle, the Titanic, the World Map, the Super Mario Question Block, and the Millennium Falcon. But there is one question I have in mind. If I can’t get Lego to make this into an official set or find someone else to make it real for me, what kind of pieces would I need to make my own?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Let me start with the pieces I think or know for sure he is made from.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When the villains make their way to Wayne Manor, there is a shot of Joker riding the Kraken’s nose as he leads them there. In this shot, you can make out some of the pieces they used for the Kraken’s head.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/brickipedia/images/6/6a/%D0%9A%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%B5%D0%BD2.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20180519145817&amp;path-prefix=ru&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Kraken][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you can see from that photo, the main portion of his head appears to be made from 1x4 bricks, along with some 1x3s,2x2s, tall 1x2s,both thin and wide, tall 1x1s, 1x5s, and some 1x6s. As for plates, I can really only make out 1x4s and 2x2s. You can also see one big brick in front of his eye. I don’t know what to call that brick. If anyone knows the name of that particular piece, please let me know. It would really help me out. Speaking of his eyes, the Kraken’s eye is most definitely made of 1x1 bricks, especially around the pupil area, along with 1x2 bricks, 1x3 bricks, and 1x4 bricks. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The rest of his body is harder to tell. For his hand and arms, you can tell from the top and bottom that they used 2x4s. His teeth are probably tall 1x1s and 1x2s. I thought they were made of some 2x2s, but now I’m not so sure. In this shot of the Kraken and King Kong tearing a building the gang is hiding in, that is one of the few full body shots of him you can see in the movie.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/brickipedia/images/6/68/%D0%9A%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%B5%D0%BD3.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20180519145837&amp;path-prefix=ru&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Kraken][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It’s not that good, and yes, there are slightly better pictures, but I don’t want to wast time finding them. You can watch the movie to look for them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Kraken’s lower body I’m guessing is made of 2x2x3s, with a few 1x4s and 1x5s here and there. A single giant stud in the center connects his torso to his lower body. His head is most likely connected with a brick built version of a typical Lego Minifigure neck.  I can’t tell what pieces make up the stud.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A few final questions I have.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What pieces should be used to make his tail and arms move, especially since he has three more joints than an average Lego minifigure?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;How to make sure the holes are the right size to fit his arms without them falling out or being too loose? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;How to size up his torso and lower body correctly?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Would it be more effective to make his torso hollow or put a single hole to attach his torso to his lower body?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;How would the jaw mechanism in the movie work? And how to make his eyes move?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What pieces would be best to build his spikes, frills, fins, and tongue?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If some of the pieces I need for the Kraken don’t exist in that color or are very hard to come by, what would you recommend?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sorry if I made this so long. It’s just that I’d give anything to have a real model of the Kraken, so if I got someone to make it for me, I’d want them to make it look like the movie as much as possible. If someone has any pointers, tips, or suggestions, They are way more than welcomed.

I can’t tell what pieces make up the stud.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A few final questions I have.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What pieces would be best for his arm and tail joints, especially since he has three more joints than an average Lego minifigure?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;How to make sure the holes are the right size to fit his arms without them falling out or being too loose? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;How to size up his torso and lower body correctly?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Would it be more effective to make his torso hollow or put a single hole to attach his torso to his lower body?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the jaw and eyes were to move like the movie, how would the mechanism work?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What would be the way to build his frills, spikes, fins and tongue?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If some of the pieces I need for the Kraken don’t exist in that color or are very hard to come by, what is the solution?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sorry if I made this so long. It’s just that I’d give anything to have a real model of the Kraken, so if I got someone to make it for me, I’d want them to make it look like the movie as much as possible. If someone has any pointers, tips, or suggestions, They are way more than welcomed.

" Text="I have been looking around a bit for the same files. I plan to contact Lego/IAR myself to try to find the official source code and development software, and will update this answer when I do. However, I did find some stuff that might help out.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - I was able to find a BitBucket repository that appears to have the&#xD;&#xA;   source code to firmware 1.29. It can be found here:&#xD;&#xA;   https://bitbucket.student.fiw.fhws.de:8443/projects/IN/repos/hackathon_nxt/browse.&#xD;&#xA;   Look in the LEGO_Sources directory.&#xD;&#xA; - The MinbBoards SVN repository appears to still be available, but at a slightly different URL (it appears that Sourceforge changed something on their back end). The URL is here: https://sourceforge.net/p/mindboards/code/HEAD/tree/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Between these two, it might be possible to figure out what changes were made in Firmware 1.31. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for compiling, IAR workbench for ARM has an evaulation tier now that is free, but with a code size restriction of 32kB. There are other options out there though. [Segger's Embedded Studio](https://www.segger.com/products/development-tools/embedded-studio/) is free without size restrictions as long as you do not use it commercially. Additionally, it appears that the [NXTGCC project](http://nxtgcc.sourceforge.net/) is a system that allows compiling firmware for the NXT using GCC instead of IAR.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT1: If you are more of a fan of Git than Subversion, I have ported the MindBoards SVN project to GitHub. You can find it here: https://github.com/Marsfan/NXT-Enhanced. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have a second repository with the 1.07 code, but that will likely go away as I work to merge that in as a separate branch to the above linked repository. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT2: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I realized that I never updated this after contacting IAR. I got a response saying that the Lego Mindstorms NXT IAR tool set was a combination of their other products&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. IAR EWARM (Embedded Workbench for ARM)&#xD;&#xA; 2. IAR EWAVR (Embedded Workbench for AVR)&#xD;&#xA; 3. IAR EWVS (Visual State)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When I contacted them, they provided me with a link to download VisualState, and they said that the free tiers of Embedded Workbench should work for development. The free tier's main limitation is on code size, so I don't know if it is possible to compile the full set of software.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

They belong to `https://github.com/in4lio/ev3dev-c` and you need to compile and install them. Instructions are given in `https://github.com/in4lio/ev3dev-c/tree/stretch/docker/README.md' file - which you will also have if you do &#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;mkdir -p ~/src&#xD;&#xA;cd ~/src&#xD;&#xA;git clone https://github.com/in4lio/ev3dev-c.git&#xD;&#xA;``` &#xD;&#xA;Because I want the C development headers in place (they get put into `/usr/local/include/`) and not install every time I run the container I put them inside the Docker image. To do that I open the Dockerfile located inside `~/src/ev3dev-c/docker/` and make edits. They are not the best, probably, since I probably use sudo too much, but here is the modified Dockerfile:&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;FROM ev3dev/debian-stretch-cross:latest&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;RUN sudo apt-get update&#xD;&#xA;RUN sudo apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends swig3.0 python-dev&#xD;&#xA;RUN sudo apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends build-essential&#xD;&#xA;RUN sudo apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends git&#xD;&#xA;WORKDIR /home/robot&#xD;&#xA;RUN sudo git clone https://github.com/in4lio/ev3dev-c.git&#xD;&#xA;WORKDIR /home/robot/ev3dev-c&#xD;&#xA;RUN sudo git submodule update --init --recursive&#xD;&#xA;WORKDIR /home/robot/ev3dev-c/source/ev3/&#xD;&#xA;RUN sudo make &amp;&amp; sudo make install&#xD;&#xA;RUN sudo make shared &amp;&amp; make shared-install&#xD;&#xA;RUN sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;It works and the resulting image will be about 300 MB larger than `ev3dev/debian-stretch-cross`. In order to make the image file you change into the same directory as the Dockerfile is, make sure your 2 files you will need to execute have execute permissions (e.g. `chmod ug+x ./build.sh`) and run the `build.sh` file. After a little while it should successfully add `ev3cc` image to your docker images and you can now run it executing `dock.sh`&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;[user@computer ev3dev-c]$ docker images&#xD;&#xA;REPOSITORY                    TAG       IMAGE ID       CREATED         SIZE&#xD;&#xA;ev3cc                         latest    021f7f962c28   9 minutes ago   1.09GB&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;``` &#xD;&#xA;Before executing `dock.sh` though, change one directory up. The script mounts your current directory into a corresponding directory inside the container, where you can do the compilation. (And while you are at it, do not forget to examine Dockerfile and other small files in the same folder - they are very small scripts and pretty self-explanatory)&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;cd ..&#xD;&#xA;./docker/dock.sh&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;then you will be put inside the container prompt and will be able to compile the hello example issuing `make` command:&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;compiler@ev3dev:/home/robot/ev3dev-c$ cd eg/hello/&#xD;&#xA;compiler@ev3dev:/home/robot/ev3dev-c/eg/hello$ make&#xD;&#xA;make -f ../Makefile.Debug&#xD;&#xA;make[1]: Entering directory '/home/robot/ev3dev-c/eg/hello'&#xD;&#xA;arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc -I. -I../../source/ev3 -I../../3d_party -O2 -std=gnu99 -W -Wall -Wno-comment -c hello.c -o ../../object/hello.o&#xD;&#xA;arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc ../../object/modp_numtoa.o ../../object/brick.o ../../object/crc32.o ../../object/ev3.o ../../object/ev3_dc.o ../../object/ev3_led.o ../../object/ev3_light.o ../../object/ev3_port.o ../../object/ev3_sensor.o ../../object/ev3_servo.o ../../object/ev3_tacho.o ../../object/hello.o -o Debug/hello -lm &#xD;&#xA;***  Debug/hello ***&#xD;&#xA;make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/robot/ev3dev-c/eg/hello'&#xD;&#xA;compiler@ev3dev:/home/robot/ev3dev-c/eg/hello$&#xD;&#xA;compiler@ev3dev:/home/robot/ev3dev-c/eg/hello$ ls -l Debug/&#xD;&#xA;total 116&#xD;&#xA;-rwxr-xr-x 1 compiler compiler 111140 Jun  3 11:26 hello&#xD;&#xA;drwxr-xr-x 2 compiler compiler   4096 Jun  2 16:14 mingw&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;Now as you have seen your compiled hello example is in your `Debug` subdirectory and it is accessible to your host computer (because of `-v` volume mount from `docker run` options in `dock.sh`) as `~/src/ev3dev-c/eg/hello/Debug/`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can use any ssh transfer program such as _FileZilla_ to transport the compiled `hello` binary to your robot and run it there - for example from ssh prompt. Connection to your robot via ssh is described [here](https://www.ev3dev.org/docs/tutorials/connecting-to-ev3dev-with-ssh/)  - but any tutorial how to connect to another computer via ssh will do. You just need to know either the IP address of your robot, or it's resolvable hostname on your local network:&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;robot@ev3dev:~$ ./hello&#xD;&#xA;Hello, LEGO World!&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;So cross compilation works, but now for RaspberryPi (using BrickPi 3) I need to understand how to deal with the problem that brickpi3 does not automatically recognise motors or sensors plugged into the ports - i.e. supplied examples do not work. For `EV3`, though, things should be fine. - YES, checked - works fine for EV3.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**AND** Brickpi3 works fine [too][1] - it is just that instead of autodetection routines you need to supply which port number the motor is actually plugged in :-)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you have not installed the ev3dev c libraries on your raspberrypi - not to worry, you can just tell the compiler to make the program with static libraries; file size is not very large (about 600 kb).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://github.com/ev3dev/ev3dev/issues/1534#event-6738268871" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

So we have to go digging around the EV3 source code to find out what it means. The icons can be found in [this bitmap](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mindboards/ev3sources/master/lms2012/lmssrc/c_ui/24x22_Yes_No_OFF_FILEOps.bmp). The icons are mapped to names [here](https://github.com/mindboards/ev3sources/blob/78ebaf5b6f8fe31cc17aa5dce0f8e4916a4fc072/extra/linux-03.20.00.13/arch/arm/mach-davinci/bytecodes.h#L1038-L1064). Using this information, we can deduce that from left to right, the icons are `WARNSIGN`, `WARN_POWER` and `TO_MANUAL`. Further search of the code reveals [two conditions](https://github.com/mindboards/ev3sources/blob/78ebaf5b6f8fe31cc17aa5dce0f8e4916a4fc072/lms2012/c_ui/source/c_ui.c#L2633-L2648) where all 3 of these icons appear together. `WARNING_TEMP` and `WARNING_CURRENT`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So either the battery has high temperature or the brick is using too much current. Given the statements about the malfunctioning input ports and the battery leakage damage, I would suspect that the battery leakage has cause some sort of short circuit that is causing high current usage. You could try removing the cover and cleaning up the damage with isopropyl alcohol. Although to get to the back side of the circuit board, you have to desolder the battery terminals.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

User [Steve Bennett] pointed out, and I agree now, that those extra parts do appear to be part of the hair piece.&#xD;&#xA;I could not find a torso that matches.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![fig 1 full][1 full]&#xD;&#xA;[![fig 1][1 hair img]][1 hair link]&#xD;&#xA;[![fig 1][1 head img]][1 head link]&#xD;&#xA;[![fig 1][1 legs img]][1 legs link]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## ❌ Figure 2&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The hair appears to be white, but it does not exist.&#xD;&#xA;I could not find a torso that matches.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![fig 2 full][2 full]&#xD;&#xA;[![fig 2][2 hair img]][2 hair link]&#xD;&#xA;[![fig 2][2 head img]][2 head link]&#xD;&#xA;[![fig 2][2 legs img]][2 legs link]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It looks like he's holding a briefcase.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![case][case img]][case link]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##  Figure 3 - Girl&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The hair might not be an exact match, but it's the only hair with pigtails that existed at the time of the game.

I suspect the head is made up since it has a nose, which is not something Lego does for standard minifigures (#9's face is one such exception).&#xD;&#xA;Lego does definitely not add a &quot;contour&quot; to its torsos either.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![fig 13 full][13 full]&#xD;&#xA;[![fig 13][3 hair img]][3 hair link]&#xD;&#xA;or&#xD;&#xA;[![fig 3][16 hair img]][16 hair link]&#xD;&#xA;[![fig 13][13 legs img]][13 legs link]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## ❌ Figure 14 - [Sid Vacant][sid]?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This one also appears entirely made up.

At that time, the figures were removable, although some felt that they were of lower quality than the figs in regular LEGO sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In early 2011, however, LEGO started to produce Star Wars magnet sets where the minifigures were glued to the magnet. The problem was that LEGO Star Wars magnet sets violated a licensing agreement which said that LEGO could produce sets that contained Star Wars characters, but that they couldn't produce stand-alone figures. Apparently, one of the other big-name toy brands who *was* licensed to produce stand-alone figures objected to the LEGO magnet products because they felt that the availability of LEGO Star Wars figures on magnets harmed their own sales figures. LEGO recognised that fans would be unhappy, but felt that it was in everyone's best interests to comply with requests to change their products.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To promote &quot;a consistent consumer experience&quot;, all new LEGO minifigure magnet sets have had the minifigures permanently fixed on the magnet since that time, including the Pharaoh’s Quest sets launched the previous December.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This means that:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. All sets that are new since January 2011 are glued.&#xD;&#xA; 2. Some sets that existed before January 2011 come in two versions - a glued version and a non-glued version. Confusingly, the sets have the same number and have been sold from LEGO shops simultaneously, and have similar packaging. Glued sets do have a note on the back saying that they are glued (in rather small print).&#xD;&#xA; 3. Any re-releases will be glued.&#xD;&#xA; 4. It might still be possible to buy non-glued sets. In December 2011 I was still able to buy certain non-glued sets from the online LEGO store in the UK. I assume that they were old stock.&#xD;&#xA; 5. Some parts are never glued - typically accessories like light sabres.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some details for specific sets are available on [TheBrickBlogger.com][1].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Incidentally, it is widely believed that one of the reasons that LEGO introduced the &quot;Battle Packs&quot; is to provide a way to buy minifigures that gets around the licensing issues.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;***Removing Minifigures***&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The most effective way to remove minifigures from the magnets is the &quot;hot water process&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It turns out that LEGO does not actually &quot;glue&quot; the bricks, but uses a solvent that loosens the surface of the ABS plastic and allows the molecules to combine. The solvents are water soluble at certain temperatures, so hot water can weaken the seal between the bricks. Care must be taken not to overheat the water, however, as the melting point of ABS plastic is somewhat below boiling point.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Although the removal process does no damage to the LEGO, the places where the bricks were fused won't be smooth due to the fusion process itself.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Again, more details are to be found at [TheBrickBlogger.com][2].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Disclaimer: I have not tried this myself.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;***Obtaining Minifigures***&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All this leaves us with several options for obtaining the minifigures we want:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Buy the sets that contain them (or figures that others have removed these sets). Battle packs and (for Star Wars) Advent Calendars are a good place to start.&#xD;&#xA; - Obtain old magnet sets that are not glued&#xD;&#xA; - Accept the rough edges left by the hot water method&#xD;&#xA; - Use parts from a combination of the above.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;***Response***&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The other thing we need to decide is how we respond to this change. My suggestions are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Be happy that some sets were produced unglued.&#xD;&#xA; 2. Encourage LEGO to produce more battle packs by buying existing ones.&#xD;&#xA; 3. STOP buying the glued sets, and make LEGO aware that we don't like them.&#xD;&#xA; 4. Lobby LEGO to produce unglued magnet sets where licence restrictions don't exist.&#xD;&#xA; 5. Encourage LEGO to make statements about gluing more prominent on the glued sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://thebrickblogger.com/2011/06/glued-and-non-glued-lego-magnets/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://thebrickblogger.com/2011/01/lego-glued-magnet-removal/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

This is perfect for part identification, especially since [Bricklink][1] has images for almost every part.&#xD;&#xA;Many times the Bricklink part page will be one of the results, but even when it is not, the links often contain a part name that can be plugged into Bricklink to find the part and then find the sets is it a part of.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you have an Android phone, [Google Lens][2] is a fantastic choice. (Note: The Play store is region-specific so you may need to do a manual search for &quot;Google Lens&quot; if the link does not work for you.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you have an iPhone then I believe you can still use Google Lens via the Google Photos app. See [this link][3] for details.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**A tip**: These apps work best if the part is placed on a plain background.

The inclusion of full rotation control also makes it a good fit for spaces where a servo motor might be useful, such as steering on vehicles.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/InBtf.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/uLozZ.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/16898/708&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/9lydO.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/DQVGX.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Q1jcQ.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/XacZ1.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/dtX1A.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/OPiXx.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Pe4OT.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZKuHc.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/sOgc1.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [13]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/0VDxP.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [14]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/nnogk.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [15]: https://education.lego.com/v3/assets/blt293eea581807678a/blt20ee0f27f6735942/60fe86455483765886b0da3c/LE_SPIKE_Essential_Tech_fact_sheet_Small_Angular_Motor_45607_2HY21_Digital.pdf" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I still use LEGO Digital Designer.  Open it, and you'll be using a combination of a few tools to filter out the exact piece locations in your model's 3 dimensional space.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Below we'll use pictures of Bowser as an example for a few selections.&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The &quot;Selection&quot; tool sub tools:&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;1. Single Selection: Pick one piece you want to move.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Multiple Selection: Pick multiple pieces you want to move. Shortcut Key:  Hold down control button to to select multiple pieces. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Connected Selection: Move the pieces that interlock in a continuous cluster. (VERY USEFUL FOR ME!)&#xD;&#xA;  &#xD;&#xA;1. Color: Pick a specific color.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Shape: Pick a specific shape REGARDLESS of color.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Color and Shape: Pick a specific shape and color.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A combination of two other tools that will bring it all together is the &quot;Invert&quot; Selection Tool and the &quot;Hide&quot; Section tool.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Connected + Hide Example:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In this example of &quot;Connected&quot; Selection, look at Bowser's toes.  They're not highlighted, which means they are not connected, but after we hit the &quot;Hide&quot; button we see a green piece of Bowser's chest just a floatin' too.&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;Connected.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;Hidden.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Multiple Shape + Invert + Hide + Shape and Color Example:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I buy my models on Bricklink.com but have to upload them through Stud.io, but Stud.io doesn't recognize which 1x1 tiles LEGO Digital Designer is using.  So, I have to filter them out regardless of color, and figure out how many of each color I need to manually add them to my purchase later.&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;Selection of 1x1 tile regardless of color.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;Invert Selection.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;Hide non 1x1 tiles.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][7]][7]&#xD;&#xA;Specific Color and Shape for PINK.  Lower left corner tells me exact amount I need in this color.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][8]][8]&#xD;&#xA;Specific Color and Shape for GREEN.  Lower left corner tells me exact amount I need in this color.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][9]][9]&#xD;&#xA;Specific Color and Shape for TAN.

The edge of the plate sits loose inside the brick.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- For post-2005 regular bricks (i.e. non-sloped), since they have thinned walls with notches at every stud, the connection is particularly flimsy. A 1-stud-wide plate just won't get any grip at all.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- The walls of rectangular bricks are connected to each other, so bending a wall &quot;outwards&quot; (to jam a plate/tile inside) means bending or stressing the perpendicular walls (as far as I understand the physics of solid materials).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Is this connection &quot;legal&quot;?

I've included a 1x1 round plate for scale.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Gearbox internals][12]][12]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Four gears can be removed from the gearbox to reveal a significant gear reduction:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Gears][13]][13]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The DC motor can also be removed easily enough in case there is ever a need to repair or replace it:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Motor with 1x1 round plate for scale][14]][14]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;TLG provides [technical specs][15] for this small angular motor:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Voltage Range&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Min: 3.3 V&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Max: 6 V&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; No Load&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Torque: 0 Ncm&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Speed: 110 RPM +/- 15%&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Current consumption: 55 mA +/- 15%&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Maximum Efficiency&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Torque: 1.8 Ncm&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Speed: 85 RPM +/- 15%&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Current consumption: 170 mA +/- 15%&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Stall&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Torque: 5 Ncm&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Speed: 0 RPM&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Current consumption: 340 mA +/- 15%&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is much weaker than most other motors. For example, the stall torque of 5 Ncm is much less than the rated 18 Ncm for the medium angular motor.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This isn't the most powerful motor, but it is handy for lighter workloads where space is limited. The inclusion of full rotation control also makes it a good fit for spaces where a servo motor might be useful, such as steering on vehicles.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/InBtf.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/uLozZ.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/16898/708&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/9lydO.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/DQVGX.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Q1jcQ.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/XacZ1.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/dtX1A.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/OPiXx.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Pe4OT.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZKuHc.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/sOgc1.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [13]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/0VDxP.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [14]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/nnogk.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [15]: https://education.lego.com/v3/assets/blt293eea581807678a/blt20ee0f27f6735942/60fe86455483765886b0da3c/LE_SPIKE_Essential_Tech_fact_sheet_Small_Angular_Motor_45607_2HY21_Digital.pdf" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

That's commonly called &quot;[firmware](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firmware)&quot; since it lays somewhere in between &quot;hardware&quot; and &quot;software&quot;. It's assumed to be immutable and reliable as hardware, but with some effort can be changed/updated as software.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The firmware handles the tricky bits of computing that you don't want to care about - such as the [Pulse-Width Modulation][1] for the LED colours, the [Real-Time Clock][2] to run commands for specific amounts of time, or the USB and [BLE][3] network stacks to communicate with desktop/laptop computers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that your user programs do **not** have full control over the hardware, or over all the features of the OS. For example: any device with a USB stack and a button can be (in theory) converted into a USB mouse (technically a &quot;[USB HID](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_human_interface_device_class)&quot;)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;#### Why is it not worth it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Because it takes a lot of time; and given the amount of person-hours that it would take to develop custom firmware (such a [`pybricks`](https://github.com/pybricks), the only non-lego™ firmware I'm aware of), you'd be way better off getting an [Arduino][4] and/or a [Raspberry Pi](https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/raspberry-pi-build-hat-lego-education/). That way you can learn to take full(er) control of your hardware.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Or, if you just need extra lights, get set [88005-1](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=88005-1).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm assuming you are reading this from the point of view of a person just learning computing/robotics. If you already have experience in computing, tweaking `pybricks` or even [Zephyr](https://www.zephyrproject.org/) wouldn't be out of the question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;#### Why is it so difficult?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've skimmed the source code for the `pybricks` firmware. As far as I can see, the code paths for the user-programmable RGB LED and the battery LED are completely different. The former is treated as a peripheral, but the later is treated as *process events passed to the underlying [kontiki](https://github.com/contiki-os/contiki) OS*. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So in order to make the battery LED user-programmable, first you would need to disable it at a lower level. Which means losing the default behaviour for that LED.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;#### Why is this a bad idea?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When developing low-level firmware, the ways that the computer (the hub) can display information are **very** limited. I'm talking no bluetooth, no USB, no UART: a status LED is in most cases the only tool available. Losing that tool  is plain dangerous.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From a support point of view, *letting a user fake the behaviour of that tool* means that you couldn't trust problem reports. If a LED is stuck on a colour, how can you be sure that it's a problem with the OS, or maybe is it a problem with the user's program?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-width_modulation&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_clock&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_Low_Energy&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://www.arduino.cc" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

There are several places that could get things wrong if not much attention has been paid and assembled incorrectly. And I can see why it needs calibration. It seems to me that assembled model's default setup is to control plough indeed, which fits your description. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Check steps 117 and 120 if you have assembled correctly. The thing is that one of two pictured motors switch between functions and the other motor operate functions. Your issue seem to be related to the switching between functions, not its operation. Position model in such a way that you could observe what is going on with orange 2L beam placed in step 117 and try calibration again. As far as I understand &quot;switch&quot; motor has to turn this beam 90 degrees up (from pictured position) to enable 1st function (that is the blade). 180 degree (opposite direction from pic) for 2nd function."

You can find them mostly on [Rebrickable][23]. There are a lot of creations based on real-life vehicles with functions sometime (quite often for larger models) exceeding those you can find in LEGO sets. Not all of them are as sturdy as LEGO models, but that is a personal preference. Although all of them come with free/paid instructions. Here is an [example of MOCs in Technic theme][24].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;Features for sets from early days up to and including 8466 are sourced from [Technicopedia][25].

(I don't have the numbers ready, but I'm sure some have performed measurements regarding these values, and it seems intuitive too.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Therefore if the wheel encounters heavy resistance, while the motor is turning very hard (as in, &quot;almost impossible to achieve with standard LEGO parts&quot; hard), then a single axle will fail by a lower torque than two or more pins. The coupling that can transfer the most torque before anything breaks is definitely the combination of four pins and an axle, maybe with additional 3mm bar pieces stuck into the pins.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But by the time you get to torques where this kind of coupling would be required, you are already working with such extreme gearing, that you need to employ specific building techniques suitable for high forces everywhere else too."

Text="TL;DR: Unless you do something quite extreme engineering, any coupling will do just fine and the motor will stall or the tire will slip before even a single axle gets to its limit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The pins have a much higher shear strength than the twisting solidity of an axle. (I don't have the numbers ready, but I'm sure some have performed measurements regarding these values, and it seems intuitive too.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Therefore if the wheel encounters heavy resistance, while the motor is turning very hard (as in, &quot;almost impossible to achieve with standard LEGO parts&quot; hard), then a single axle will fail by a lower torque than two or more pins. The coupling that can transfer the most torque before anything breaks is definitely the combination of four pins and an axle, maybe with additional 3mm bar pieces stuck into the pins.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But by the time you get to torques where this kind of coupling would be required, you are already working with such extreme gearing, that you need to employ specific building techniques suitable for high forces everywhere else too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Responding to your edit:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; In this case doing things slower than faster can be better as the motion is more controlled. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sounds like you need a reduction gearbox, which would result in slower speeds and greater torque. This would mean that your motion can indeed be controlled better.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Would I be able to push with greater force using a 4 pin configuration vs a single axle?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As detailed previously, the method of affixing the wheel to the motor does not influence the force between the wheel and the ground (as long as it's a static coupling and not a force converter of some kind).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Does this theory transfer to real life: eg cars, trucks, etc? Would the number of lug nuts and distance from center affect the vehicles motion/efficiency?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The common theory is that real life vehicles need a gearbox as well to be able to operate in a wide range of speed-torque ratios while using the same engine. And their designers need to be mindful too of the rated limits of the parts used - but in your case LEGO pretty much did this job for you by producing motors and parts that can almost always be used together safely without calculating shear and torsion strengths.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;An 18-wheeler truck has a lot more wheel lugs, as the forces generated are a lot larger than in case of a two-seater minicar, therefore requiring more material to ensure they don't fail even under the heaviest loads (emergency braking with full load at highway velocities). With both vehicles the lugs act as a 1:1 static coupling between the axle and the wheel, just the range of forces (or torques) that needs to be handled safely is much wider.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Nevertheless, you can easily set up a small experiment, where you stand a kitchen scale on its side between a fixed object and your bot, and measure the force your bot can push the scale with. This would help you see the lack of difference between the single axle and four pin versions, and later on would be useful to test different gearing solutions." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

For this reason, the 51515 Robot Inventor Sets will soon no longer be available. However, LEGO has confirmed that the Spike Prime kits, or the educational counterpart(s) of the Robot Inventor, will continue to be produced. Therefore, I might have to start buying these kits in lieu of the Robot Inventor kits as demand for the retired kits begins to rise. The good news is that the Mindstorms Robot Inventor and Spike Prime kits both share identical hardware, the only difference being the colors and assortment of elements, both of which can be easily circumvented. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, the Robot Inventor software has several additional features that Spike Prime does not, most notably the recently-enabled Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) Daisy-Chaining, or Hub-2-Hub Communication. I currently have a Robot Inventor Hub with  an up-to-date version of its firmware installed, and I am strongly considering buying a Spike Prime Hub to use with it for larger models. Because it is currently not yet possible to directly program the Spike Prime Hub with the Robot Inventor Software, I would like to ask if it is possible to re-flash the Spike Prime Hub with the Robot Inventor Hub's firmware so that the Spike Prime Hub will behave the exact same way as a Robot Inventor Hub while retaining the same functionality (especially the ability of Hub-2-Hub communication) of a Robot Inventor Hub.

In your question you write that &quot;the axle slips from the wheel&quot; - is it really so though? If so, then the clutch between the axle and the wheel needs to be improved, for example by coating the end of the axle with cling wrap or nail polish to slightly increase its diameter or just straight away gluing it to the wheel itself.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But if the wheels are slipping on the tracks, you should indeed try the &quot;rubber band around the wheel&quot; idea, or some variation of it - e.g. duct tape, which similarly increases the traction but doesn't increase the wheel diameter too much (which would make the climbing more difficult by requiring more power from the motor).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the last scenario, if the motor is stalled when going upwards with the wheels and the axle standing still due to insufficient power you still have a few possibilities:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - You could try using stronger batteries (with more voltage)&#xD;&#xA; - You could experiment with changing the slope of the track (perhaps by slanting the whole track, or adding some padding under the lower sections to reduce the angle of incline)&#xD;&#xA; - You could remove some weight from the engine or the attached cars&#xD;&#xA; - You could add another engine and use both simultaneously&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/q/15701/3631" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Where are you?&#xD;&#xA;   &#xD;&#xA;   [![enter image description here][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, just Look at it.  On the surface it looks like a build mistake that anyone of us could make, but seriously, after looking deeper, does anyone really think *LEGO* would approve this?  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, taken it in all together, these detail errors just wouldn't fly at *LEGO*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Conclusion*: The *6205* alternate build image is simply bogus, and should be ignored as an innocent mistake at *Bricklink* and *Brick Owl*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*But... That was some very impressive attention to detail, young Justan Ryan*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][5]][5] &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/CMZah.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Yc2Ij.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ilUYP.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/40v6N.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/vm8BS.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

The train is great for playing, but I have a problem with crossing the bridge. I saw that this is common problem with 10875 and 10874 LEGO Duplo trains, so I would like to ask if there is any solution to improve traction. I regularly clean the train and wagons, but it still happens that the axle slips from the wheel when I have to cross the bridge. Did this option of adding rubber to the wheels improve traction?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've tried changing the batteries.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit to add:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't think it's the pinion on the motor. I checked and cleaned all the gears and there is no damage to anything. I just didn't know how to remove and disassemble the rear wheels in order to check the part between the axle and the wheels, but I saw in other posts that when it breaks, the wheels should be free to spin.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It seems to me that they designed the wheels to slip badly. I would try to somehow improve that part for better traction between the axle and the wheels.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The train starts to climb the bridge piece and you can see that it has power, but it happens that you hear a screeching sound, and then the train stops, at that moment the wheel does not slip between the rail and the wheel, but just between the axle and the wheel.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That piece is used for slipping and was installed probably for the safety of small kids and children, but it lacks traction to cross the bridge track. If it was completely fixed, it would probably damage the tracks if the train gets stuck somewhere. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think it slips on this part of the picture. It is between the wheel and the drive axle.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Image of gear block including highlighted axle socket][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/rLGkj.png&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We have two bridges in the set, so that's quite a problem."

The main rails were blue or grey plastic and sleepers and rails were supplied seperately. The blue rails just used ordinary lego studs to attatch to the sleepers, while the later grey track added special clips for more rigidity. The 4.5V trains were battery powered and controlled by physical switches on the train while the 12V trains used a central rail.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When trains came into the &quot;Electric system 9V&quot; era, the system was radically redesigned. The separate plastic rails and sleepers were replaced by single clip together panels of track, with metal-covered rails. Trains were powered via the rails from a mains powered &quot;transformer and speed regulator&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This system lasted a long time with sets released all the way from 1991 to 2006.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Towards the end of the &quot;Electric system 9V&quot; era, Lego introduced a couple of trains with infra-red remote control instead of track power. This is what you appear to have one of the parts of. There were three main functional components to the system.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* The remote control which you have ( https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=40529c01&amp;idColor=11#T=C&amp;C=11 )&#xD;&#xA;* The train motor https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=x1688c01#T=I&amp;C=11 this was similar in size and shape to the previous 9V train motor, but the electric wheels were gone, it had to be powered by a cable within the train. &#xD;&#xA;* The &quot;train base&quot; https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=55455c01&amp;idColor=11#T=I&amp;C=11 this contained the infra-red receiver and the battery box. It also had the main Chassis plate for the train to which the train motor and the free-wheeling bogie would be clipped.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Alongside this Lego introduced a new type of track. This was non-conductive, but was made out of fixed panels similar to the 9V electric track. I'm not sure if the new plastic track would clip together with the 9V electrified track or not.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This system did not appear to last long, it appears there were only ever two sets made, both released in 2006. The train base made the system inflexible giving little choice in the design of the train. The motor also seems to have been released separately as an accessory in 2009.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The next revision of Lego trains, kept the plastic track but switched from &quot;Electric system 9V&quot; to &quot;power functions&quot;. This system split the infra-red receiver from the battery box, allowing more flexibility in train design (and also allowing the same parts to be re-used in train and non-train applications). This lasted rather longer, with sets released in 2010 to 2015.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And the current revision of Lego trains with sets released from 2018 to 2022. Moves to the &quot;powered up&quot; system. This re-integrates the receiver with the battery box, but it uses Bluetooth instead of IR, so the receiver doesn't need line of sight."

This system split the infra-red receiver from the battery box, allowing more flexibility in train design (and also allowing the same parts to be re-used in train and non-train applications).

For enough time it has bugged me, and I have been seeking an honest answer, so maybe I should contact Lego/Disney myself (3 years later). I have always thought that in the merchandise department of Star Wars (since bought by The Walt Disney Company in October 2012), this addition to branding is because of contractual agreements since becoming part of Disney, and that comes through Disney tax. It has indeed seemed that a majority of Marvel merchandise (wherever sold) has been generally more affordable by a small margin and a big factor of this is Lego sets - Lego Marvel sets value V Lego Star Wars sets value. The Force Awakens had the biggest amount of merchandise a film ever had (even with a big amount of merch not even based off the film) because it was Disney's time to shine big, and additional Disney Tax on Star Wars merch has especially been clear across the 5 Disney Star Wars films from 2015 to 2019. Also, we notice that Lego Star Wars sets typically have to have accuracy to the franchise, and I know there are officials at Lego who consult with Disney on what exactly to put in every main set, from build to minifigures. That is not as greatly the case with Lego Marvel, and their often off-comic/film builds." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

For some time it has bugged me, and I have been seeking an honest answer. So maybe I should contact Lego/Disney myself (3 years later). I have always thought that this decision was taken by the merchandise department of Star Wars (since it was bought by The Walt Disney Company in October 2012), this addition to branding is because of contractual agreements since becoming part of Disney, and that comes through Disney tax. It has indeed seemed that a majority of Marvel merchandise (wherever sold) has been generally more affordable by a small margin and a big factor of this is Lego sets - Lego Marvel sets value Vs Lego Star Wars sets value. The Force Awakens had the biggest amount of merchandise a film ever had (even with a big amount of merch not even based off the film) because it was Disney's time to shine big, and additional Disney Tax on Star Wars merch has especially been clear across the 5 Disney Star Wars films from 2015 to 2019.&#xD;&#xA;Also, we notice that Lego Star Wars sets typically have to have accuracy to the franchise, and I know there are officials at Lego who consult with Disney on what exactly to put in every main set, from build to minifigures. That is not as much the case with Lego Marvel, and their often off-comic/film builds." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

There are a few ways this can be accomplished. Some are possible out of the box, and others require extra hardware or 3rd-party software.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Typical Package Contents&#xD;&#xA;------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's the electronics we typically get out of the box with a Powered Up train set:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. [Powered Up City hub (28738)][1]. This includes two I/O ports (used for a motor and possibly lights). The City hub does not include an accelerometer, compass, or GPS, so there is limited feedback provided. It does include a programmable RGB LED and a button.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![City Hub][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. [Train Motor (28740)][3]. This motor is one of only two Powered Up motors that do not include rotation and distance tracking, so there is no easy way to know how far the train has traveled, but we are able to adjust its relative speed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Train motor][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. [Lights (22168)][5] may be included as headlights for the train.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Lights][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Programming using Powered Up App&#xD;&#xA;--------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The default experience in the [Powered Up app][7] provides a controller for the train, but we can also automate the train using a Scratch-like programming environment. This environment is powerful, but the hardware at our disposal is quite limited as a robotics platform. In particular, the included hardware has no useful sensors, which makes the environment unobservable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If we start the train from a known location, we can run it at a set approximate speed for a certain amount of time, leaving it at a new approximate location. Unfortunately, these locations will change slightly over time, as we have no way of sensing exactly far we have traveled. This might be fine if you just want the train to move for a while then stop for a while, but if you want to stop at stations, things get trickier.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One solution is to induce the train to stop at a known location regularly, such as a siding. We can intentionally stall against the buffer on the siding to reset to a known position.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Adding Sensors&#xD;&#xA;--------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If we're willing to add some additional hardware, things can get much more advanced. One option is to add a color sensor to the bottom on the train:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Step 1][8]][8]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We can connect the sensor to the port not being used by the motor.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Step 2][9]][9]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Step 3][10]][10]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With this in place, we can modify our track by adding plates or tiles of different colors to indicate location on the track or particular actions to take. In this way, we can have the train reliably stop at stations or take other actions. Here's an example program that allows the train to wait when it sees red under the color sensor:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Program screenshot][11]][11]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is similar in concept to the DUPLO trains in terms of input, but we can program the colors to change behaviors in any way we'd like.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We could also choose to add a different sensor, such as a distance sensor or a tilt sensor. Alternatively, we could replace the City hub with a larger hub and add multiple sensors, but this would likely require redesigning the train and would add significant cost.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Standalone Operation&#xD;&#xA;--------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One of the weaknesses of the City Hub currently is that it requires a tethered Bluetooth device, such as a phone, tablet or computer, in order to function. By flashing the custom [Pybricks][12] firmware to the hub, we can overcome this limitation and write programs directly to the device. This is especially useful for public displays or other use cases where Bluetooth connections may become problematic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here is an example Pybricks program that would allow a train to run for 10 seconds and then pause for 35 using the RGB LED on the hub to indicate its status:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;```python&#xD;&#xA;&quot;&quot;&quot;&#xD;&#xA;Simple automated train that runs for 10 seconds then pauses for 35&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Light transitions from red to orange to yellow as timer counts down&#xD;&#xA;&quot;&quot;&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;from pybricks.hubs import CityHub&#xD;&#xA;from pybricks.pupdevices import DCMotor, Light&#xD;&#xA;from pybricks.parameters import Button, Color, Direction, Port, Stop&#xD;&#xA;from pybricks.robotics import DriveBase&#xD;&#xA;from pybricks.tools import wait, StopWatch&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;hub = CityHub()&#xD;&#xA;motor = DCMotor(Port.A)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;while(True):&#xD;&#xA;    hub.light.on(Color.GREEN)&#xD;&#xA;    motor.dc(60)&#xD;&#xA;    wait(10000)&#xD;&#xA;    motor.dc(0)&#xD;&#xA;    hub.light.on(Color.RED)&#xD;&#xA;    wait(15000)&#xD;&#xA;    hub.light.on(Color.ORANGE)&#xD;&#xA;    wait(15000)&#xD;&#xA;    hub.light.on(Color.YELLOW)&#xD;&#xA;    wait(5000)&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I use a setup similar to the above to allow an automated train to run around my son's city without the need to have a screen nearby the whole time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://rebrickable.com/parts/28738/hub-battery-box-powered-up/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/WHTub.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://rebrickable.com/parts/28740/motor-train-base-powered-up/&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/79DB2.png&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://rebrickable.com/parts/22168/light-unit-led-with-cable-powered-up/&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/TN0o4.png&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://www.lego.com/en-us/service/device-guide/powered-up&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/MIkP7.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/go7FE.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/JzFw8.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/PFEdO.png&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: https://pybricks.com/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

They all use a 6 stud gauge, so with a bit of fiddling, you can use all of the systems together. If you want to be most compatible with the current track offerings, you're better off with 9V and RC/PF track. [This question][1] discusses the specific compatibility issues in more detail.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are several other train systems that have been used that are not compatible (DUPLO trains, 4 guage rails, etc), but I'll just cover the common 6 gauge systems here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The different types of train track can be divided into a few main eras.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Blue Era (1966 - 1980)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A track section consisted of 2 rails connected by regular 2x8 plates. The rails themselves were blue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![blue straight rails][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Trains could be either pushed by hand along the track, powered via 3 batteries (4.5V system), or powered via a third conducting rail added to the center of the track (12V system). Here are what the conducting rails for the 12V system look like:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![12V conducting rails][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some people still prefer the 12V system because it included more remote controlled components than the later 9V or RC/PF systems. With later systems, the only thing that is easily remote controlled is the train itself, whereas the 12V system included remote controlled points, light, and decouplers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Each era included straight track, curved track, switches, and cross track.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![blue points][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![blue cross track][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Gray Era (1980 - 1991)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These rails are generally the same as the blue rails aside from the new gray color.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![straight gray rails][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The sleepers were moved closer together (3 per section rather than 2), and they were changed to a specialized part to improve the strength of the connection. Here's what the sleepers look like:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![gray era sleepers][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The trains of this era were still either powered by 4.5V batteries or the 12V conducting rails.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# 9V Era (1991 - 2006)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The 9V era completely changed the track components, and did away with the old 4.5V and 12V voltages. Rails sections were a single piece, and they were all conducting.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![9V straight rails][8]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![9v curved rails][9]][9]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The 9v system included straight, curved, switch, and cross track.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![9v cross track][10]][10]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![9v switch pack][11]][11]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# RC / Power Functions / Powered Up Era (2007-)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In 2006, LEGO switched back to non-conducting rails with roughly the same mold as the 9V track. Trains are now all battery-powered under either the RC or currently the Power Functions and Powered UP systems.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![RC Track][12]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This era included the first and only [crossover switch (7996)][13] :&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![crossover][14]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It also introduced flexible track:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![flex track][15]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Switches are also available, but a cross track has not yet been released for PF track.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![PF switches][16]][16]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/2539/can-i-use-the-old-12v-rails-with-the-remote-trains/2541#2541&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/N30f7.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6QACC.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/bpfrx.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/WIEQb.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/w84Sn.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Rde98.png&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/oa4LN.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/mRC7E.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/uAZKG.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/thoDC.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/MEcqT.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [13]: http://brickset.com/sets/7996-1/Train-Rail-Crossing&#xD;&#xA;  [14]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/XAJvY.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [15]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/f91sk.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [16]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/BLUsn.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

That basically means that either the section of the locomotive where the hub is located ends up at least 6 studs wide, or the sides of the hub and possiblly the connectors plugged into the hub will be visible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It may be possible to put the hub in a wagon pulled behind the locomotive to try and preserve the appearance of the locomotive, but I expect wire management to be a challange.

Or does anyone have suggestions on how to flash the firmware to a version that's compatible with Spike App v2.0.8  or v2.0.9?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;#### Context&#xD;&#xA;I upgraded our hub to Spike 3. This is the default recommended behavior through the new v3 app as of December 1, 2022 as follows.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;! **DO NOT DO THESE STEPS IF YOU NEED YOUR v2 CODE TO WORK WITH YOUR SPIKE PRIME HUB**&#xD;&#xA;&gt;!  &lt;li&gt; Navigate to Spike App v3 (link above) and notice that there is a new version of the app&#xD;&#xA;&gt;!  &lt;li&gt; Select Prime&#xD;&#xA;&gt;!  &lt;li&gt; Click Update Hub on the popup&#xD;&#xA;&gt;!  &lt;li&gt; Follow the steps to update the firmware for the v3 Spike App&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After doing so, I realized our existing v2 Spike Prime code would no longer be compatible. There's a different filename extension for the new files (`.llsp3` vs `.llsp`). Eventually, I want to switch to the newer app, but for now, I am trying to get our .llsp code working again.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;#### Attempted resolution&#xD;&#xA;* As suggested at [this support page](https://education.lego.com/en-us/teacher-resources/lego-education-spike-prime/start-here/lego-education-spike-prime-the-lego-education-spiketm-app) (screenshot below) and via built-in troubleshooting steps in the app, I went to https://spike.legoeducation.com/hubdowngrade to downgrade. &lt;s&gt;However that page just loads the new v3 of the app.&lt;/s&gt; (Now fixed.)&#xD;&#xA;&gt; [![enter image description here][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;* &lt;s&gt;If I add a `/` to the end of that URL, I get something different. There is a note &quot;This might take several minutes&quot;, but nothing ever loads. (For those familiar with Chrome DevTools, there were lots of 403 Forbidden errors. To see the details download [this HAR archive of the result](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IvSq7T8HkY_dXEJDX1nhQp-gwnFlAKv-/view?usp=share_link) and open it with Google's [HAR Analyzer](https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/har_analyzer/) &lt;/s&gt; (Now fixed.)&#xD;&#xA;* Because I know v2 of app is available at a similar URL (starting with `spikelegacy` instead of `spike`), I attempted using the tool at https://spikelegacy.legoeducation.com/hubdowngrade/. &lt;s&gt;However, when I follow the steps, the connection pop up says &quot;No compatible devices found.&quot;&lt;/s&gt; (Now fixed.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;s&gt;If anyone on LEGO's DevOps team reads this, it seems that:&#xD;&#xA;* The `/hubdowngrade` endpoint of the new v3 site isn't properly configured to redirect to `/hubdowngrade/`&#xD;&#xA;* The `/hubdowngrade/` endpoint successfully resolves to downloading some text/html.&#xD;&#xA;* However, something about the configuration of `/hubdowngrade/*` endpoints results in 403 Forbidden responses. This results in some ~60 failed requests.&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/s&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Edit: It seems they have resolved the issue with the downgrade page.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/xx8XB.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

As for the piece, I guess you now own a part of the LEGO production process :)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I figured this out by employing Google Lens and having Google compare the photo with images online.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Non-Vented Double Dead-Ender Cap][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/8b84L.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

In between the connectors, there is a surface mount LED labelled D1 that is used as a power indicator.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Let's remove the PCB:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Top with PCB removed][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Under the PCB, there are a couple of metal springs. These provide the physical resistance and locking capabilities for the switch but perform no electrical function.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Top with spring removed][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That's the main housing without the springs present.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Let's look at the bottom of the PCB:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![PCB bottom with switch contacts][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This clearly shows how the electrical side of the switches are implemented. The two components on the right are usually in contact with the board and are allowed to slide to make or break contact with the contacts shown on the board. A quick examination of the traces shows that the contacts are used as DPDT switches that are wired as crossovers to allow polarity reversal.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Overall, this is a very basic basic battery box much like those for older systems such as [Power Functions][6], with the exception that this box allows two motors to be controlled independently.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/1cw2X.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://www.bourns.com/pdfs/mfmsmf.pdf&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/QiYzk.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/5kZUi.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/nNhuf.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://rebrickable.com/parts/16511/battery-box-power-functions-4-x-11-x-7-with-orange-switch-and-dark-bluish-gray-covers-new-version/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I ended up snipping off a section of the wire and re-soldering it back together but testing with an Ohm meter results in infinite resistance between the connector pins and the soldered points in the motor. So I took the connector apart (nearly destroying the thing), and I removed the wire and snipped an inch off. Using an Ohm meter now shows 0 resistance through the wire. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have a problem putting the connector back together now. I put the pins back in place on the plastic pieces and then pressed the plastic pieces back in place with the hopes that the metal pins pierce the wires and allow for electricity to flow.

Seemed like a nice set with some tracks for my kids. As seen below it's a set where the power box is a separate part and it runs a motor that connects to the wheels by a bunch of gears. Problem I have is that the trains are struggling to run. Yellow one more than green, maybe due to weight. Anyone had a similar problem and knows how to improve the set? I'm wondering if switching to the undercarriage motor would work on these sets. The larger ones seem to have a different kind of motor that has no gears to get it moving and provides power directly to the wheels but not sure if that one would fit. Considered applying some grease but not sure how much that can help in this case without making everything sticky.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/jifml.png&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/jlfxL.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

First thing I did is I switched the battery brand from regular Maxell to GP extra which improved the condition but I still could not fully use the power box in terms of speed regulation but an improvement none the less. Then I tried a couple of combinations:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. changed the rubber on the wheels - no significant improvement all though the rubber I got originally is a lot worse in terms of quality&#xD;&#xA;2. I used a combination of the original power box and the undercarriage motor - best solution if it fits your train - you need some additional bricks to do the change probably - speed settings work well also&#xD;&#xA;3. New motor and a 6 battery power box - works well but no way of changing the speed with this power box - does not improve with the 5 battery power box&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So essentially the problem is in the gears which get stuck a lot, make a lot of noise and have a lot of wear - a lot of dust everywhere. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In case you're considering buying a train that is using the M motor like mine the best solution is to switch to undercarriage. Some trains are bigger and use the undercarriage by default so those will probably work better although the overall train weight is higher. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Undercarriage][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Stronger motor][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Wheels with rubber][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Power box 6 batteries][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/VLlBl.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6Dm3C.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/WSQ0D.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/sHns2.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

The constraints of childhood kept that endeavor at bay. But, now that I have a kid of my own, the door has reopened. Never mind the fact that he is barely old enough to hold a Duplo.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm shooting for a modular, micro/mini city. But one of the things I'm struggling with is determining the right scale for me. At first I decided to pursue the &quot;Micropolis Standard.&quot; Simple enough. Small enough. And well supported. The scale is roughly 1:285. If I did my math correctly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To get my feet wet I bought and built Lego's 2014-15 Bricktober Mini Modular series ([40180][1]-[40183][2]; [40141][3]-[40144][4]). I think these are roughly in the ballpark of the Micropolis scale. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But then I bought and built Lego's Mini Modular set ([10230][5]). The buildings in it are quite a bit bigger than Micropolis scale, which allows for more detail. Detail that is simply tremendous. I immediately fell in love.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, I know that Lego doesn't have a fixed scale. I've learned that Minifigure scale changes depending on [measured dimension][6] (height vs. width of a thing). And in any case, scale is &quot;violated&quot; all the time to make things look better. Compounding this, it appears that 10230 is about quarter scale when compared to the rest of the Creator Modular series. The buildings in 10230 are scale models of scale models with some oddball features.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If I can figure out the approximate scale of 10230, my hope is that I can upscale a variation of the Micropolis Standard to build my city. But I need help validating my assumptions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At first pass, I've calculated the height of a plate to be roughly 2ft. Which would put the scale at 1:190. Real example: The big brother version of the Parisian Restaurant (10243) has floors between 7-9 bricks high. Which would roughly be between 10.5-13.5ft in real life. Which seems about right for older European buildings. At the scale I'm shooting for, these same rooms should be between 5.25-6.75 plates high. Which, when compared to 10230, and rounding up, seems about right too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It also is a 1:1 to Lego Units, which would be pretty great.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Surely someone, somewhere has done this same exercise. Can anyone point me to that resource? I've looked -- micro, mini, modular... these are all pretty generic, all encompassing terms. There's a lot of content out there, but almost none of it speaks directly to the scale of the mini modular set. So any assist is greatly appreciated.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.lego.com/en-us/service/buildinginstructions/40180&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://www.lego.com/en-us/service/buildinginstructions/40183&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://www.lego.com/en-us/service/buildinginstructions/40141&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://www.lego.com/en-us/service/buildinginstructions/40144&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://www.lego.com/en-us/service/buildinginstructions/10230&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://brickarchitect.com/scale/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

First thing I did is I switched the battery brand from regular Maxell to GP extra which improved the condition but I still could not fully use the battery box in terms of speed regulation but an improvement none the less. Then I tried a couple of combinations:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. changed the rubber on the wheels - no significant improvement all though the rubber I got originally is a lot worse in terms of quality&#xD;&#xA;2. I used a combination of the original battery box and the undercarriage motor - best solution if it fits your train - you need some additional bricks to do the change probably - speed settings work well also&#xD;&#xA;3. New motor and a 6 AAA battery power box - works well but no way of changing the speed with this power box - does not improve with the 5 battery box&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So essentially the problem is in the gears which get stuck a lot, make a lot of noise and have a lot of wear - a lot of dust everywhere. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In case you're considering buying a train that is using the M motor like mine the best solution is to switch to undercarriage. Some trains are bigger and use the undercarriage by default so those will probably work better although the overall train weight is higher. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Undercarriage][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Stronger motor][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Wheels with rubber][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Power box 6 batteries][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/VLlBl.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6Dm3C.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/WSQ0D.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/sHns2.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

A rough approximation that I tend to go by for **figure scale is indeed 1:42, which is also conveniently about half of H0 scale (1:87)**, as known from the model train world.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But then you also have the problem of abstraction. The Mini Modulars, albeit about a quarter in size of their bigger brothers, also might abstract some elements in order to get a better representation of the original's overall style less than its accurate dimensions. But if we go by quarter scale, we could say it's maybe around 1:170, which isn't that far off your 1:190. That would also mean **a human would be conventiently around 1cm tall, which is also roughly 1 brick**, whatever measure you prefer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The bottom line is, the exact number doesn't quite matter too much. What is more important, and the Mini Modulars demonstrate that too, is **picking something that fits the pieces**. For example using SNOTed 1x2 tiles as doors is a common technique. Also the premade 2x2 windows make for useful elements. So **~2 bricks for one storey isn't a bad idea**, which would also match with what you got.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For some practical examples, I have seen a few YouTube cities using an approach inspired by the Mini Modular style, e.g. the 8x8 module stystem. This conveniently fits to the LEGO grid of 32x32 basplates and the like. It also has other advantages, like **road modules (for simple 2 lane roads) being 6 wide with 1 stud sidewalk on each side**, which in turn fits a road built sideways and made up of 7 plates per lane with a neat 1 plate striping in the middle. This can then conveniently host **2-wide cars**, or the &quot;CITY Advent Calender scale&quot; ;-).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Even the Micropolis standard isn't as strict as everything always adhering to 1:285. You can really **put anything between 1:250 and 1:300 into a Micropolis layout** and maybe even more. It just has to **fit the overall aesthetics and be reasonable to build**. You don't want to build cars that are 1.25 or 0.75 studs wide, you want to put a tile onto a jumper and have an iconic and recognizeable micro car. I haven't worked too much in Micropolis myself, but I made the experience that you shouldn't pain yourself too much with thinking if that fence should be a plate higher or lower rather than if the overall look fits and it's practical to build. In fact I've even seen [houses in the scale of the Mini Modulars put into a Micropolis layout](https://www.flickr.com/photos/brixe/albums/72157713540930466) (she even uses her own micro versions of LEGO Modular Building sets) and although they can look a bit big if you try to compute the exact scale, I think it works very well in the overall layout.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I personally also try to compute an actual scale for at least my Architecture models that try to get real-world proportions as close as possible, but even there it's not always easy to compute that to an exact number based on abstractions that the LEGO system requires. You might have to build it higher than it is wide or you might have to build that window smaller than it really is. And with something like a freely designed micro city, it's more important **you have a solid idea how to build roads, cars, doors, and whatever in a convenient way and everything fits well together**.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So on the bottom line, **have a *rough scale* in mind, but don't get hung up on the exact number**. In fact, what's more practical is having *various* numbers in mind, for each of the different use-cases, e.g. **2-brick storeys, 1-brick people, 2-stud cars, 1.5x Micropolis, 1/4 figure scale, or anything between 1:150 and 1:200**. Then pick whatever fits to what you're building and the ideas for how to build it from the pieces you got will come with experience in the scale." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

They are listed as &quot;for LEGO&quot;, or LEGO compatible, but they are not original LEGO products. Here's an example of one of the third-party motors:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Third-party PF M Motor][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It looks very similar, but has many subtle differences. The easiest difference to spot is the lack of the word &quot;LEGO&quot; on the studs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These may be good quality, or they may be significantly worse than LEGO products, but in any case, they were not manufactured by LEGO and did not go through TLGs QA process. These products also likely violate TLG's IP in some way.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The reason that it is difficult to find genuine PF M motors is because the entire PF line has been discontinued and replaced by Control+ in Technic sets. The closest replacement for the PF M motor is what TLG currently calls the [Simple Medium Linear Motor](https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/simple-medium-linear-motor-45303):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![45303][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Unfortunately, this motor is also retired as a standalone product on LEGO.com, although it was included in sets as recently as 2022.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you are looking to something that you can buy today directly from LEGO.com, the [Technic Large Motor][5] is probably the best choice.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Technic L Motor][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Transitioning to the Control+ system would also require purchasing [new battery boxes][7], which are not especially cheap.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One approach is to purchase genuine PF medium motors on a secondary market such as Bricklink. Here's the [listing for the PF M motor](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=58120c01) there. Most established Bricklink sellers take quality very seriously.

Wrong engine activation in the gear box often happens. (often ladder moves instead of shovel) and calibration fails. This is a bug, the engine mistook the placement of the gears, and calibration doesn't catch it in the beginning. To fix, Cancel calibration, press the app button to lower the shovel and remember to wait for the gear to be changed, then retry calibration. If that fails again, try the shovel tilt and redo. If that also fails, then lower the plow and redo. It cannot be fixed by the ladder unless the gearbox was built wrong, (in that case you need to do 87-120 again)." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Text="Background:&#xD;&#xA;I've gotten into Duplo blocks for building unique and constantly evolving creations for my sugar gliders to play with.  Part of owning gliders is accepting that they'll inevitably use their toys as toilets, and with building blocks that means pee is going to end up in the crevices between blocks.  This necessitates completely disassembling my creations at least 1-2x a week, thoroughly washing/sanitizing all the blocks and starting over from scratch.  Between that and the size of adult gliders (approx 6'' body + 5-6'' tail), I just can't commit to the tedium that would be involved in using regular Legos - Duplo blocks fit my needs infinitely better.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've managed to amass a fairly impressive collection of Duplo blocks by scouring e-bay for good deals, but this has led to me having an unpleasant ratio of 2x2s to everything else.  I'd really love to be able to pick and choose extra of certain unusually-shaped duplo blocks and extra of the smallish baseplates (2x8 and 4x8 in particular) to use for roofs and such... even moreso, I'd love to be able to buy large amounts of specific bricks (I'd settle for 2x4 but would *love* extra 2x6 or 2x8 blocks).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Through browsing others' questions on this site yesterday, I learned of the &quot;pick a brick&quot; wall at Lego stores and the possibility of even being able to get cases of one specific brick through the stores.  I got so excited over the potential solution to my issues that I suffered the ordeal of going to the mall (ugh!!) and dodged annoying underfoot children to get to the helpful salespeople in the back of the store... only to find out that the &quot;pick a brick&quot; wall is Lego only - no Duplo.  Furthermore, they said they can't request specific cases (they can only sell what they happen to get) and the cases they get are never Duplo blocks.  They also didn't sell any baseplates or baseplate-only packs containing anything smaller than 8x8 (5'' square) plates, at least not for Duplos.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Is there a way I've missed to buy specific and/or bulk Duplo bricks directly from Lego (or &#xD;&#xA;&quot;unofficial&quot; Lego sites)?  Scouring Ebay only seems to produce large mixed lots or people who charge absurd prices for very small quantities of specific larger bricks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As a note, my first attempt at buying building blocks to create toys for my gliders was a Mega Bloks purchase... and I'm sure anyone who's ever tried that brand knows *exactly* why I returned them to the store after 10-15 minutes of absurd frustration.  While I'm a natural skeptic when it comes to name-brand loyalty, I'm 100% sold on Lego Duplos.  If what I want isn't possible with Duplos, I'll be happy with that answer and continue making do with what I've got - I'm not willing to try another knock-off brand.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One other question regarding base-plates - I purchased two of the Green LEGO® DUPLO® Baseplates (Item: 2304, 15'' x 15'') and noticed they're made with a very thin plastic (like the large baseplates for the &quot;normal&quot; sized Legos) rather than the very thick plastic of smaller Duplo plates (like the 5'' square/5''x10'' rectangle plates).  The thinner plastic immediately made me think of my dremel's cutting wheel... has anyone here tried cutting those into smaller sizes, and if so, did it work out ok?  I've got no problem ghetto-rigging smaller plates to suit my needs if that's a viable option!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit: just to clarify, since I don't have enough reputation yet to comment on responses, I live in Houston, TX... are there still local groups I could look into?  Also, the closest full-fledged Lego store here apologetically informed me that they couldn't actually order a specific case of anything, let alone Duplo blocks.  I was also unable to find a way to order specific Duplo blocks from Lego.com (though I found lots of options for regular Legos)... have I overlooked something?" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

The old RCX was orientated towards &quot;old-style&quot; Technic that used a mixture of pins and studs while the newer NXT and EV3 are orientated towards new-style Technic that mostly uses pins.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of Electrics things are more of a mess.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;LEGO has had various electric systems over the years, broadly speaking there are.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. The 4.5V/12V system, this is ancient and completely incompatible with Mindstorms. This used plugs with two pins, sometimes with a central bump.&#xD;&#xA;2. The &quot;electric system 9V&quot;, inroduced in 1990 and used for motorising many Technic sets. Also used by the RCX. This used contacts built into the top of lego studs.&#xD;&#xA;3. The NXT/EV3 system this uses a RJ style connector but with the clip in a different position from normal.&#xD;&#xA;4. The &quot;Power functions&quot; system, introduced in 2007 and has now mostly replaced the &quot;electric system 9V&quot;. This uses a custom connector with two lego studs and a custom contact block next to them that is roughly 1x2 but won't stack with lego bricks.&#xD;&#xA;5. The &quot;powered up&quot; system, the newest system from Lego. Sometimes also reffered to as &quot;power functions 2.0&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lego sold an adapter cable to go from the NXT to &quot;electric system 9V&quot; part number 8528. Unfortunately it is no longer sold. They also sell two different lengths of extension/adapter cables which can be used either to extend power functions or to connect power functions to &quot;electric system 9V&quot; part numbers 8886 and 8871. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It seems that Lego never made an adapter to go directly from the NXT to power functions though you can connect the NXT to power functions motors by combining the two adapters above or by splicing cables to make your own adapter.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also it seems that the EV3 is not really compatible with the Lego adapter cable, apparently sensors won't work at all and motors will only work with special software hacks. There is discussion of this and possible workarounds with custom cables at https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/2325/how-to-use-power-functions-with-mindstorms-ev3 and https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/8112/use-legacy-rcx-sensors-with-ev3?noredirect=1&amp;lq=1&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The powered up system seems to have no compatibility with anything else at least not using official parts. Lego don't even sell an extension cable that can be hacked into, I've seen some third party ones but they were very expensive." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

It also had the main chassis plate for the train to which the train motor and the free-wheeling bogie would be clipped.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Alongside this Lego introduced a new type of track. This was non-conductive, but was made out of fixed panels similar to the 9V electric track. The new plastic track connected together with the 9V electrified track so both could be used for the new infrared trains.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This system did not appear to last long, it appears there were only ever two sets made, both released in 2006. The train base made the system inflexible, giving little choice in the design of the train.

I think your issue isn't related to cabling (it would be much easier to fix) but there is something wrong inside the gearbox. There are several places that could get things wrong if enough attention has not been paid and it was assembled incorrectly. And I can see why it needs calibration. It seems to me that assembled model's default setup is to control the plough indeed, which fits your description. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Check steps 117 and 120 if you have assembled correctly. The thing is that one of the two pictured motors switch between functions and the other motor operates functions. Your issue seems to be related to the switching between functions, not its operation. Position the model in such a way that you can observe what is going on with orange 2L beam placed in step 117 and try calibration again. As far as I understand the &quot;switch&quot; motor has to turn this beam 90 degrees up (from pictured position) to enable 1st function (that is the blade); 180 degree (opposite direction from pic) for 2nd function."

Here are some pointers you might consider when communicating with them: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It seems like your question is about some of the electronic components. So, let's narrow down your question to those. The battery in the #42009 LEGO Mobile Crane has two studs on top with the LEGO logo on them. In addition, right above the studs their is a &quot;2006 The LEGO Group&quot; moulded into the lighter colored plastic. And there are also larger LEGO logos moulded into the sides of the unit. So, five LEGO logos in total.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This battery box has no alternates. It only came in this one version as evidenced by the BrickLink database, which is the most comprehensive database of all LEGO parts ever made: [Electric 9V Battery Box 4 x 11 x 7 PF][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would also add to this that smooth LEGO studs always have the LEGO logo moulded into them, and this has always been the case since the earliest days of the company. There are hollow studs (like in some electronic pieces, LEGO Technic pieces, LEGO windows, hollow 1x1 round studs, etc.), however in such cases the LEGO logo will appear on some other place on the piece. The very few exceptions to this rule are when pieces are so tiny that it was simply not possible/practical to print a LEGO logo on them (i.e. hollow 1x1 round stud, some very small minifigure accessories, etc.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rather than being too generic like you did in your question above, when contacting LEGO's customer service, I would suggest to focus on two points. This can result in a quicker response and faster action. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Ask them whether the specific electronic parts you are concerned&#xD;&#xA;    about (list exact set and part numbers) were ever produced without a LEGO logo (the answer will be no,&#xD;&#xA;    but for your legal case it's best to have this in writing directly&#xD;&#xA;    from LEGO).&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA; 2. Alert LEGO that someone is selling fake parts and claiming that&#xD;&#xA;    they are genuine. LEGO's legal department will be very interested in&#xD;&#xA;    this, which can help your personal case. It's even possible that&#xD;&#xA;    this seller has been on their radar already, and the information you&#xD;&#xA;    provide will be helpful to their case.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are lots of imitation LEGO out there, but the companies making them do not claim that their products are genuine LEGO. They sell under their own brand names for cheaper prices than LEGO can provide. LEGO's legal department is fighting these companies already. Someone selling fake LEGO and claiming that it's genuine is a whole other level of criminal. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please keep in mind that if this is someone like a small eBay seller, they may have been duped themselves and they really believed that the parts they acquired are genuine LEGO. So keep your communication professional and you may be satisfied with just a refund. If, however, the seller is a larger online store specializing in fake LEGO parts and selling them as genuine, definitely let LEGO's legal department know and you may pursue your own legal case as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=59510c01&amp;idColor=86#T=C&amp;C=86&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

(You'd think I could follow picture instructions at age 74...)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Picture of step 198 showing an instruction to test the functions using the app][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After much evaluation and checking everything I could think of, I can see in the build step 104 I put the small bevel gear ON THE WRONG SIDE of the drive gear. Obviously it is trying to drive that shaft in the wrong direction!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Pictures of steps 104 and 105, showing the misplaced bevel gear and its place in the larger sub-assembly][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Does anyone have an idea how I can switch out the gear WITHOUT tearing the build down completely?

TLG was kind enough to send me a copy to explore.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The experiences for this set are available in the LEGO Builder app. The box itself does not come with any form of paper instructions aside from a single page directing builders to access the app:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![30355 Leaflet][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The app allows you to select a set and explore its missions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![App set select screen][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The build and play experience is driven by a series of &quot;missions&quot; inside the app:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Mission selection][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I initially expected these sets to be a bit like a [Creator 3-in-1](https://brickset.com/sets/theme-Creator/subtheme-3-in-1) sets with app-based instructions and light &quot;story&quot; elements between certain steps based on this image from the box:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Possible space models][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I was pleasantly surprised that there is quite a bit more opportunity for creative building here than I initially assumed. The first mission allows builders to create a couple minifigs with a few accessories. There's not a huge amount of creativity involved here, but you can mix-and-match minifig parts. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The second mission provides the build for the core element of the set and is built using regular in-app instructions. This provides the structure for future missions and steps. Here's the completed core for the space set:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Shuttle Final Step][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The core elements for the sets feature a few play features and numerous attachment points for accessories and modifications.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Subsequent missions provide short video and text descriptions of challenges to overcome by adding or changing features of the core set. These missions may not include additional instructions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![No instructions this time][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Build modify boosters][7]][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Builders are provided with extra pieces and high-level goals for the build (e.g. rescue an astronaut floating in space). There are also ideas provided for possible minibuilds that can be added to the main build:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Press Ideas button][8]][8]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Ideas buttons][9]][9]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Booster Ideas][10]][10]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Once the self-guided creative modifications have been completed, builders can finish the mission and participate in an imaginative play experience (test the booster, fly to Mars, look for clues related to a crime, rescue an animal, etc),&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Play booster mission][11]][11]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![The shuttle looks solid][12]][12]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Aside from a brief video, the missions do not include any digital play component. This isn't a series of digital minigames between building steps. There's not much to do in the app other than follow instructions, read, and watch short videos.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as I know, there are 3 sets available following this format. They are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [60353 Wild Animal Rescue Missions](https://brickset.com/sets/60353-1/Wild-Animal-Rescue-Missions)&#xD;&#xA;- [60354 Mars Spacecraft Exploration Missions](https://brickset.com/sets/60354-1/Mars-Spacecraft-Exploration-Missions)&#xD;&#xA;- [60355 Water Police Detective Missions](https://brickset.com/sets/60355-1/Water-Police-Detective-Missions)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;They each include a base model that can be customized with an array of parts:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Animal Rescue&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Animal Rescue parts for modification][13]][13]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Possible Animal Rescue Models][14]][14]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Space&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Space parts used for modifications][15]][15]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Possible space models][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Water Police&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Water parts used for modifications][16]][16]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Three possible water models][17]][17]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of the play experience, these sets feel a bit like Education sets, Boost, or Robot Inventor where the builder completes a series of builds and tasks in an interleaved manner.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as parts go, these felt a little bit like the [2018 Builder Bigger Thinking][18] sets, where builders are given a variety of imaginative parts and minifigs:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![10405 Mission to Mars][19]][19]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For my child, it was helpful to have a base to build from and then have a palette of distinctive pieces to use for customization. Here's what they came up with:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Spaceship custom build][21]][21]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Submarine custom build][22]][22]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Overall, I appreciate seeing LEGO try something a bit different in the City line by making use of some of the techniques used in more educational sets. This seems like it could be a good way to get certain types of kids more involved in creative build and play experiences.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/D0ouf.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6KYYJ.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/jaN6Q.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/PpXFh.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/TOU4d.png&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/hEW8v.png&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/d1YwE.png&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/aHG0s.png&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/zVEpN.png&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/KEdtj.png&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/WzbZr.png&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6xP0t.png&#xD;&#xA;  [13]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/0mhqE.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [14]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/uIF1E.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [15]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Q0Oq2.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [16]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Aw0JN.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [17]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/8li0m.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [18]: https://brickset.com/sets/subtheme-Building-Bigger-Thinking&#xD;&#xA;  [19]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/tODNo.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [20]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/H1M0i.png&#xD;&#xA;  [21]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/4xxQL.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [22]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ovgiB.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I've built a church from Lego, then tried to build one just as big using Nanoblocks: it having a 30-brick tall tower, but found it to be ~1 brick short, so I'd estimate Nanoblocks are 3•1mm tall, and not 3•2mm + 1•8mm of stud = the 5mm given as their height.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So 2 Lego plates will be just over twice as tall as Nanoblocks. One may as well do each level of Nanoblocks as the 2 Lego plates levels using joins in differing places. 1st layer Lego plate, then bricks where also wanted for 2nd layer of Nano, then finish 1st layer Nano with 2nd layer of Lego plate, or maybe start with bricks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Kawada Nano Block of Japan don't use tubes, but a ridge. This lets the brick below to be positioned anywhere along its length. It is the same with the 1×x pieces as they have no pillars. Some of the Lego tiles with 1 stud can do the same thing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Looking at building a Lego elephant from Nano instructions, it uses 1×4's with round ends. These Lego plates are only in 1 set. To be able to move the ears back to ~45°, I considered using hollow bricks, so square end bricks could turn like a round 1 can. A panel corner 1×1 does the job &amp; needs to be mounted 1 plate lower so the corner of the brick is over its base.&#xD;&#xA;Back of Lego elephant, black = 1×3 +2 studs &amp; groove, white = 1×2 +1 stud &amp; groove, yellow ='1×2 +1 stud normal &amp; grey = 2×2 corner. There be 2 ways of doing top part of legs. Used plate 6×x &amp; so not hollow. Nano, red when I've not dark gray, 2×2 corner as not Kawada.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Photo of orca (killer whale), I do not have the right Lego ball joints, see 1 full brick on fin, some clone brand, 2nd black from front are 2 1×3's with 2 studs with 1×2's atop (I've none for the Nano, so got there a 1×3 atop).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/l2Xt0.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6f9zo.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/LXYcj.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

It was launched in 2023 and appeared originally in 3 speed champions sets:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Speed Champions sets including this part][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of the height and side stud placement, it is similar to [87609][5] and [99206][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![87609][7]][7] &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![99206][8]][8]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's even a bit like the classic [Erling brick](https://rebrickable.com/parts/4070a/brick-special-1-x-1-with-headlight-and-slot/7/) when the brick is used on it's side:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![4070][9]][9]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is one of the smallest brick-like parts available that provides two studs at 90 degree angles from one another.

Long answer below.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Step 105 has two sub-assemblies attached - the ones with back axles seen on bottom left. Each of these axles drives the brown axles - one is clearly seen on bottom right and another is barely seen on top left.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now moving forward to Step 116 we can still see both black axles present here, now with few more parts attached in between steps. Each axle has a grey T16 gear which sits rigidly on each axle (each gear will rotate together with its axle). In between both grey gears there are three more T16 in red. Now these are different - they move independently from the axle they are placed on, where none of yellow axle rotation impact any of red gears (until one of them is engaged via gearbox, but this is irrelevant now). In such setup these three gears connect both grey gears, meaning if we turn one of two black axles both would rotate. Since there are 5 gears in this gear train such combination would result in both axles spinning in the same direction. This would then transfer the rotation to tan T12 gears which, based on the way they are placed (same direction towards front of the model), would result in both brown axles to spin in opposite directions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you follow further down the instructions (steps 529 and 627) you can find that few more gears are attached to each axle further down the line. This would result in two connection points, used by next function, to spin in the same direction.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.lego.com/cdn/product-assets/product.bi.core.pdf/6403270.pdf&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/riogl.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/MUXXR.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

This allows to, for example, align a 2x2 round tile using brackets like so:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![torus aligned with a 2x2 tile at 3 bricks of height][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;[![torus aligned with a 2x2 tile at 3 bricks of height][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/rQ8eL.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Eiicq.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/JkMS8.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/UrXNl.png&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/8YSRz.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I chose to maintain this independence for easy portability.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Left Section&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From left to right, the first section is the tower and the bedroom. I chose the hide the battery box where the bookshelf would have been in the lower room:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Left battery][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The hub itself provides a modest amount of light on the lower level and drives an LED in the roof of the bedroom:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Bedroom light][7]][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The second LED on that pair snakes up to the top of the tower:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Tower light part 1][8]][8]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Tower light part 2][9]][9]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Tower light part 3][10]][10]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Center Section&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For the center section, I chose to hide the battery box in the roof. I found that it fits quite nicely once it gets wiggled into position:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Center battery box][11]][11]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One pair of LEDs is used to light the main section. I've attached them via 1x2 Technic bricks in the rafters above the shards of Narsil:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Shards of Narsil Lights][12]][12]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The second set of lights from this hub are split up. One goes to the small tower:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Center tower light][13]][13]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The other light is hidden in roof of the small structure jutting out from the main hall:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Center front light][14]][14]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Right Section&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One pair of lights is used under the bridge to accent the water. These are affixed to a pair of 1x2 Technic bricks placed under the bridge:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Bridge Lights][15]][15]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The second set of lights are split up. One provides general moonlight-like illuminate for the gazebo:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Gazebo Light][16]][16]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The final light is placed behind the fire for the forge. It is attached to a Technic brick that replaced the black panel behind the fire in the original build:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Forge Light][17]][17]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Software&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I wanted to use the City Hubs for this project, as they are relatively small, widely available, and most compatible with System building. Unfortunately, these hubs can't be used without a constant connection to a smart device using the default firmware.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This limitation can be overcome using [Pybricks][18]. I wrote some basic code to the hub that would turn on any attached lights without the need for a smart device. From there, it is fairly straightforward to add a flickering algorithm.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While I was making things more complicated, I figured that it also made sense to leverage the RGB LED built into the hubs. I set this to also flicker in a nice orange hue. The [code][19] for all of this is available on Github if its useful to anyone.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I like the final look of the flickering quite well. Here's my attempt to capture it again:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Overall with flicker animation][20]][20]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Final Model&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are few shots from various parts of the model showing off the lighting:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Forge][21]][21]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Gazeebo with Aragorn and Arwen][22]][22]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Boromir and the shards of Narsil][23]][23]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Frodo with Gandalf][24]][24]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/3TEFE.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://rebrickable.com/parts/28738/hub-battery-box-powered-up/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/cN5Cg.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://rebrickable.com/sets/88005-1/light/?inventory=1#parts&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Hd1dS.png&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/bYVDU.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/y2lBa.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ctPdg.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/R2qCS.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/UhSqU.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/wiheU.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/HfuUS.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [13]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/xjLZV.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [14]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/4YZ6h.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [15]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/8ViC9.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [16]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Zmmje.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [17]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/JN1jO.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [18]: https://pybricks.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [19]: https://github.com/jncraton/bricklights/blob/main/examples/cityflames.py&#xD;&#xA;  [20]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/tb95N.gif&#xD;&#xA;  [21]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/3MO9K.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [22]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/lVsEo.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [23]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/d2F18.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [24]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/S15uz.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

The [Orange Dish 8 x 8][5], as identified by Phil B., appeared in 3 SpongeBob sets from 2006 and a city set from 2010, besides an obscure FIRST LEGO League set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The baseplate in image #2 is [Baseplate, Raised 32 x 48 x 6 with Level Front][6], contained in 3 sets in gray and two in tan (presumably the one under it has the same pattern).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The wings in the third image are [Wing Plate 20 x 56 with 6 x 10 Cutout and No Holes][7] in dark bluish gray, these are definitely from [7683 - Fight on the Flying Wing][8].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The orange baseplate in image #5 is [Orange Baseplate 16 x 16][9], from [3847 - Magma Monster][10].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Images #4, #5,  #6 and #7 depict seemingly unopened bags, which would mean their contents belong to a single set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The top bag of #6 has *Technic Engine Cylinder with Side Slots (2850a)*, *Technic, Liftarm, Modified Bent Thick 1 x 11.5 Double (32009)* and *Technic, Gear 40 Tooth (3649)*, which together with the red fairing have only appeared in [8051 Motorbike][11].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Bag #1 here seems to be from [8088: ARC-170 Starfighter][12], as the *Dark Green Brick, Round 2 x 2 Dome Top with Pearl Dark Gray Pattern (R4-P44)* only appears in that single set.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Image #6 bag #2 has both [Dark Tan Wheel 31mm D. x 15mm Technic][13] and a *Light Bluish Gray Technic, Brick 1 x 14 with Holes*, together only ever released in [8096: Emperor Palpatine's Shuttle][14].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Bag #3 of Image #6 seems to be from [7930: Bounty Hunter Assault Gunship][15] based on the *Dark Bluish Gray Technic, Axle 8L with Stop*, *Dark Bluish Gray Plate, Round 4 x 4 with Hole*, *Dark Bluish Gray Wheel 31mm D. x 15mm Technic*, *Yellow Cylinder 4 x 4 x 1 2/3 with Pin Holes and Center Bar* and *Dark Green Cylinder Half 2 x 4 x 5 with 1 x 2 Cutout*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the bottom left, bag #4 has a *Light Bluish Gray Technic, Axle Connector Hub with 3 Axles*, a *White Plate 4 x 6* and most importantly one *White Tile 2 x 2 with Groove with Ninjago Cracked Red Skull on Black Circle Pattern*, which only appear together in [2506: Skull Truck][16].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The packages in image #7 are way too hard to identify, since they are not laid out neatly as in #6, so partially overlap each other and the loose parts underneath them, so please upload a separate image in the style of #6 if your own efforts remain unsuccessful.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://brickset.com/sets/3847-1/Magma-Monster&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://www.lego.com/cdn/product-assets/product.bi.core.pdf/4603710.pdf&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=45982&amp;in=S&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=88516&amp;in=S&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=3961&amp;colorID=4&amp;in=A&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=51542&amp;in=S&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=54093&amp;idColor=85#T=C&amp;C=85&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=7683-1#T=S&amp;O=%7B%22iconly%22:0%7D&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=3867&amp;colorID=4&amp;in=A&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=3847-1&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=8051-1&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=8088-1&#xD;&#xA;  [13]: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=60208&amp;colorID=69&amp;in=A&#xD;&#xA;  [14]: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=8096-1&#xD;&#xA;  [15]: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=7930-1&#xD;&#xA;  [16]: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=2506-1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Take a bag and lay it flat on a surface - you want to see as much of the parts inside as possible without them obscuring each other.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now try to identify the most unusual pieces, that are most likely to be unique to the set you have. Anything large, transparent, printed or having a complex form is a good starting point; but be prepared to backtrack if needed. Knowledge of the most common LEGO pieces and the most popular colours is a great help in this phase, but persistence can stand in for it just as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To identify the exact piece, visit [Bricklink's part catalogue][1], where you can find all LEGO elements ever officially released (and a few more that were never sold!) in neat categories. This is just like a library, where you'll eventually find what you're looking for, but might need to search in a few different sections. Having the dimensions of the part is usually a good idea, as most parts have that in their name. Once you've identified a part in your bag, try to match its colour as well from the list of &quot;Known Colors&quot; under the tab &quot;Color Info&quot;. Then count how many times can you see this exact piece in the bag. Note the following for each identified part: 1) **Item number**, 2) **Colour**, 3) **Amount** in your bag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Part site image, with number and known colours][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For example, take a look at this bag:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The key identifiable parts here were:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;| # on pic | Piece name                                           | Piece number | Colour | Amount |&#xD;&#xA;|----------|------------------------------------------------------|--------------|--------|--------|&#xD;&#xA;| 1        | [Plate 6 x 6][4]                                     | [3958][4]    | Black  | 1      |&#xD;&#xA;| 2        | [Brick, Round 2 x 2 with Axle Hole][5]               | [3941][5]    | Yellow | 2      |&#xD;&#xA;| 3        | [Brick, Modified 1 x 2 x 2/3 with Studs on Sides][6] | [4595][6]    | Black | 1      |&#xD;&#xA;| 4        | [Brick, Modified 1 x 1 with Headlight][7]            | [4070][7]    | Red   | 8+     |&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After you have done the above step at least three times, you're ready for the next step. Now open [Bricklink's &quot;Appears in&quot; page, of the multi-part variety][8]. Here you can enter the previously found part numbers, colours, and how many times that part appeared in your bag. When done, click the &quot;View Appearance&quot; button.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Filling the first three lines into the Bricklink form][9]][9]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You'll get either a screen like this:&#xD;&#xA;[![No matches][10]][10]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;or one like this:&#xD;&#xA;[![Found multiple matches][11]][11]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the first case, the combination you've entered is not found in the database - most probably due to a mistake in the entered data. Many parts have extremely similar variants, some colours are really easy to confuse with each other and sometimes counting parts is not so straightforward either, so don't get discouraged just now. Try some other combination of parts you've found, maybe attempt to identify another part from the bag and plug that into the form.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the second case your set might just be among those candidates displayed (but beware of false positives caused by misidentified parts!), so let's find which one. Open the &quot;Inv&quot;entory of the first set (the purple link in the picture) and start matching the parts in your bag to those of the candidate set. If you find a part in your bag that is not included in the set: you've successfully eliminated that candidate - return to the list and open the second &quot;Inv&quot;entory.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![The inventory view of a set][12]][12]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If all parts of the bag are found in the inventory, you're (partially) done. Why partially? Because if there are more candidate sets, they might be matches as well! So let's check them too. Note however, that most sets contain many bags which are seldom separated from each other, so check the other bags to help narrow your list of potential candidates.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After you've definitely found your set, it's time to remove from your pile of bags all that belong to this one. With the set inventory in front of you, this will be a breeze compared to the beginning as you just started to look for uncommon pieces and counted studs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If there are bags that don't belong to that set, put them to the side for another iteration of this same process.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Having collected all bags in your possession to this set, you can fetch the instructions by scrolling to the bottom of the set page on Bricklink, and clicking through to [Brickset][13] under &quot;Other Databases:&quot; (or open Brickset and find your set there based on the set number). There you'll find the instruction manual for most sets.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Navigating to Brickset from Bricklink][14]][14]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Downloading building instructions from Brickset][15]][15]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Have fun and feel free to open a new question if you have problems or questions with any of the above steps!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogTree.asp?itemType=P&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/VFaDC.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/mDBdv.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3958#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3941#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4595#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4070#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogIn.asp?viewMulti=Y&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ssces.png&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/r6NMP.png&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/B5YWA.png&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ETwZL.png&#xD;&#xA;  [13]: https://brickset.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [14]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/06ctI.png&#xD;&#xA;  [15]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/b9UcU.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

It'd be great to have a printout of all the different parts with what categories they belong to and such to help sort them together properly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What I'd like is to be able to print a list of all the parts I have in something like [a set inventory on Brickset](https://brickset.com/inventories/11016-1) (really only need the image &gt; element name columns, although don't care how many in each set column). Several thoughts I've had already:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Sure, I could print the inventory from Brickset for all the different sets, but there'd be a lot of duplicates, and when it can be 20 pages for a set, that's a lot of ink to go through. I could probably mess with the CSS before printing to cut that down a bit, but it doesn't solve the problem with all the duplicates. *(Sure, I don't like using too much paper either, but paper isn't run by a cartel  like ink is.)*&#xD;&#xA;- I can get a CSV list of each set from Brickset, and I can probably merge the files and delete rows with the same part ID, but then it's not exactly a pretty format. *(Cue inner geek saying &quot;but Python can do anything!)*&#xD;&#xA;- Googled this and one of the top results was to create a brick list of Rebrickable and export it as a HTML table. Done that, I mean technically it works, but I'd once again have to mess with the CSS to try and get it to be a lot less free space, and doesn't contain all the info I'd want (like category).&#xD;&#xA;- Brickstock is designed for sellers by the looks of it, and has its own print function, but that looks like it's designed for individual orders or something, doesn't contain things like category, and again isn't all that dense (looks prettier yes, takes up way too much paper, yes) and unlike a web service and CSS if I want to create my own look... I could probably figure out Qt Script (looks pretty similar to a lot of C-style scripting languages), but it'd be a lot of effort.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Is there something blatantly obvious I'm missing?

I've built a church from Lego, then tried to build one just as big using Nanoblocks: it having a 30-brick tall tower, but found it to be ~1 brick short, so I'd estimate Nanoblocks are 3•1mm tall, and not 3•2mm + 1•8mm of stud = the 5mm given as their height.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So 2 Lego plates will be just over twice as tall as Nanoblocks. One may as well do each level of Nanoblocks as the 2 Lego plates levels using joins in differing places. 1st layer Lego plate, then bricks where also wanted for 2nd layer of Nano, then finish 1st layer Nano with 2nd layer of Lego plate, or maybe start with bricks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Kawada Nano Block of Japan don't use tubes, but a ridge. This lets the brick below to be positioned anywhere along its length. It is the same with the 1×x pieces as they have no pillars. Some of the Lego tiles with 1 stud can do the same thing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Looking at building a Lego elephant from Nano instructions, it uses 1×4's with round ends. These Lego plates are only in 1 set. To be able to move the ears back to ~45°, I considered using hollow bricks, so square end bricks could turn like a round 1 can. A panel corner 1×1 does the job &amp; needs to be mounted 1 plate lower so the corner of the brick is over its base.&#xD;&#xA;Back of Lego elephant, black = 1×3 +2 studs &amp; groove, white = 1×2 +1 stud &amp; groove, yellow ='1×2 +1 stud normal &amp; grey = 2×2 corner. There be 2 ways of doing top part of legs. Used plate 6×x &amp; so not hollow. Nano, red when I've not dark gray, 2×2 corner as not Kawada.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Photo of orca (killer whale), I do not have the right Lego ball joints, see 1 full brick on fin, some clone brand, 2nd black from front are 2 1×3's with 2 studs with 1×2's atop (I've none for the Nano, so got there a 1×3 atop).&#xD;&#xA;As for T shape, as 2 layer, 1 using 1×3 &amp; other 2×2 corner both with a 1×1.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/l2Xt0.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6f9zo.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/LXYcj.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I've built a church from Lego, then tried to build one just as big using Nanoblocks: it having a 30-brick tall tower, but found it to be ~1 brick short, so I'd estimate Nanoblocks are 3•1mm tall, and not 3•2mm + 1•8mm of stud = the 5mm given as their height.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So 2 Lego plates will be just over twice as tall as Nanoblocks. One may as well do each level of Nanoblocks as the 2 Lego plates levels using joins in differing places. 1st layer Lego plate, then bricks where also wanted for 2nd layer of Nano, then finish 1st layer Nano with 2nd layer of Lego plate, or maybe start with bricks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Kawada Nano Block of Japan don't use tubes, but a ridge. This lets the brick below to be positioned anywhere along its length. It is the same with the 1×x pieces as they have no pillars. Some of the Lego tiles with 1 stud can do the same thing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Looking at building a Lego elephant from Nano instructions, it uses 1×4's with round ends. These Lego plates are only in 1 set. To be able to move the ears back to ~45°, I considered using hollow bricks, so square end bricks could turn like a round 1 can. A panel corner 1×1 does the job &amp; needs to be mounted 1 plate lower so the corner of the brick is over its base.&#xD;&#xA;Back of Lego elephant, black = 1×3 +2 studs &amp; groove, white = 1×2 +1 stud &amp; groove, yellow ='1×2 +1 stud normal &amp; grey = 2×2 corner. There be 2 ways of doing top part of legs. Used plate 6×x &amp; so not hollow. Nano, red when I've not dark gray, 2×2 corner as not Kawada.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Photo of orca (killer whale), I do not have the right Lego ball joints, see 1 full brick on fin, some clone brand, 2nd black from front are 2 1×3's with 2 studs with 1×2's atop (I've none for the Nano, so got there a 1×3 atop).&#xD;&#xA;As for T shape, as 2 layer, 1 using 1×3 &amp; other 2×2 corner both with a 1×1.&#xD;&#xA;Bulldog, from Wise Hawk, full brick for mouth with top part hidden for Lego.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/B8C7M.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/l2Xt0.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6f9zo.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/LXYcj.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

If the gyroscope is rotating when plugged in and/or when the brick starts up, that constant rotation will be seen as &quot;resting&quot;, and when the gyroscope is still, it believes it is rotating.  &#xD;&#xA;There are two main fixes to this&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;Hardware fix&#xD;&#xA;-&#xD;&#xA;In this, you simply unplug the gyroscope, then plug it back in while holding the robot very still. Any rotation can drift the gyroscope, however, it is pretty simple for most robots.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Alternatively, completely restart the robot while keeping it still. Most of the time this is easier to do, though it takes quite a while.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;Software fix&#xD;&#xA;-&#xD;&#xA;In the software, you can account for the gyroscope drift. Instead of measuring the gyroscope directly, create a variable called `gyro`. At the start of the program, measure the gyroscope speed multiple times (about 10 should be good for most applications), waiting a small amount of time (try 0.05 seconds) between each, and take the average of the measurements. Then, every second, change the `gyro` variable by the gyro speed MINUS the averaged gyroscope drift. My preferred method for doing this is to broadcast a message, and have a forever loop in the broadcast receiver, updating `gyro` and waiting one second in the loop. This keeps your main forever loop free to run quickly." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I've built a church from Lego, then tried to build one just as big using Nanoblocks: it having a 30-brick tall tower, but found it to be ~1 brick short, so I'd estimate Nanoblocks are 3•1mm tall, and not 3•2mm + 1•8mm of stud = the 5mm given as their height.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So 2 Lego plates will be just over twice as tall as Nanoblocks. One may as well do each level of Nanoblocks as the 2 Lego plates levels using joins in differing places. 1st layer Lego plate, then bricks where also wanted for 2nd layer of Nano, then finish 1st layer Nano with 2nd layer of Lego plate, or maybe start with bricks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Kawada Nano Block of Japan don't use tubes, but a ridge. This lets the brick below to be positioned anywhere along its length. It is the same with the 1×x pieces as they have no pillars. Some of the Lego tiles with 1 stud can do the same thing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Looking at building a Lego elephant from Nano instructions, it uses 1×4's with round ends. These Lego plates are only in 1 set. To be able to move the ears back to ~45°, I considered using hollow bricks, so square end bricks could turn like a round 1 can. A panel corner 1×1 does the job &amp; needs to be mounted 1 plate lower so the corner of the brick is over its base.&#xD;&#xA;Back of Lego elephant, black = 1×3 +2 studs &amp; groove, white = 1×2 +1 stud &amp; groove, yellow ='1×2 +1 stud normal &amp; grey = 2×2 corner. There be 2 ways of doing top part of legs. Used plate 6×x &amp; so not hollow. Nano, red when I've not dark gray, 2×2 corner as not Kawada.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Photo of orca (killer whale), I do not have the right Lego ball joints, see 1 full brick on fin, some clone brand, 2nd black from front are 2 1×3's with 2 studs with 1×2's atop (I've none for the Nano, so got there a 1×3 atop).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for T shape, as 2 layer, 1 using 1×3 &amp; other 2×2 corner both with a 1×1.&#xD;&#xA;Bulldog, from Wise Hawk, full brick for mouth with top part hidden for Lego.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With the beagle dog there is a 1×2 at 90° under centre of a 1×4, as can't be seen can use a 1×2 with holes as its hollow studs fit to bars. Maybe use a 1×2 slope.

There's nothing to lose by doing so.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;According to the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPNJC5Uz9HY , it's possible to replace the screen with a [1.8 inch colour TFT display](https://www.adafruit.com/product/358) with the aid of a [flat ribbon adaptor](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1325).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![EV3 with replaced screen, disassembled][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm unsure if you would need to replace the Lego firmware with https://www.ev3dev.org/ or not.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit: Lego offers electronic schematics of the EV3 as part of the &quot;Hardware developer kit&quot; that can be downloaded from https://education.lego.com/en-us/product-resources/mindstorms-ev3/downloads/developer-kits . It tells us that the display connects through [SPI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Peripheral_Interface), and contains this diagram of special relevance:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Wiring diagram for the SPI ribbon cable][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You should be able to connect any SPI display, which would need 5 connections: +3.3V (or `VDDA`), 0V (or `GND`), clock (`CLK`), `MOSI` (or `DIN` or `RX` in a SPI peripheral), and `CS` (or `SS`). Be aware that [the nomenclature for SPI is confusing](https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/594272/spi-rx-and-tx-alternative-names-for-miso-and-mosi). The screen does not send data back to the board, so a `MISO`/`DOUT`/`TX` connection is not needed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The stock firmware ***should*** work with any monochrome SPI display, but we hobbyists cannot offer you any guarantee at all.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Anyway, the original screen seems to use a pretty standard 18-pin 1.0mm-pitch ribbon cable. You should be able to unsolder it and replace with a new one. But since the connector at the board is a 18-pin 0.5mm-pitch, you'd need to use an adaptor [like the aforementioned one](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1325).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Bear in mind that soldering tracks with a 1.0mm pitch requires precision soldering skills (and you can imagine that 0.5mm pitch will just be harder). I strongly recommend practicing your soldering skills first. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit: According to the folks over at the Electronics stackexchange, it's possible to [repair a flat ribbon cable][3].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/UZheQ.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/5rQay.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/q/680508" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

The chain links were attached to the frame and the variable weight basket using gardening wire:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![wire loops attached to chain link pieces][7]][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Brick-built frame with an empty basket hanging on the chain with the wire loops][8]][8]&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;sub&gt;(pay no attention to the unfinished lower arches, they turned out to be totally unnecessary and I forgot to remove the partially built and still unconnected one before taking the photo)&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then I added batteries to the basket until the chain broke and measured the weight of the basket as it was at the moment...:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Photo of the basket full of batteries resting on a kitchen scale, weighing at 800 grams][9]][9]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;... at least, that was the plan. Sadly the basket was not heavy enough to break the chain even when filled to the brim and with additional batteries piled on the top. So a rework was necessary to accommodate a larger weight.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The next iteration included a 1.5-liter plastic bottle as the container for the variable weight, attached by the same wire loop to the chain link piece:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Plastic bottle hanging on a long chain from the frame, which is raised onto a piece of furniture and some empty boxes][10]][10]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But with this approach, the measured breaking force would refer to the weakest of all the link pairs in the chain - while that could be an interesting measurement as well, I was mainly focused on one individual piece. Another rework resulted in the following contraption:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![no frame, just a flat beam resting on the furniture and the boxes, with the loop attached to the middle][11]][11]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In this closeup, the chain attachment is visible along with the funnel used to fill the bottle gradually:&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][12]][12]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Using this setup the first real values were successfully acquired by filling the bottle until the chain broke, taking note of the weight displayed by the kitchen scale, replacing the link in the broken half, emptying the bottle and starting anew: (all values in grams)&#xD;&#xA; - 940&#xD;&#xA; - 940&#xD;&#xA; - 940&#xD;&#xA; - 860&#xD;&#xA; - 980&#xD;&#xA; - 920&#xD;&#xA; - 800&#xD;&#xA; - 910&#xD;&#xA; - 870&#xD;&#xA; - 870&#xD;&#xA; - 860&#xD;&#xA; - 710&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you noticed something, congratulations - I didn't, at least not at this point. So I turned to the sidequest: checking if the tracked link variant is measurably different.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since those links are a lot wider, the attachment to the beam needed to be reworked again in order to access the chain for reattaching it after each breakage:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![a lot simpler attachment using a fixed pin and returning to the simple wire loop][13]][13]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This setup has rendered the following measurements:&#xD;&#xA; - 620&#xD;&#xA; - 750&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At this point I realized my mistake: after every breakage, I replaced the center piece of the three-link chain, that wasn't attached to the wire loops. But the end pieces were the same since the beginning, and thus were subjected to the wear and fatigue from countless measurements and failed tests. Their interfaces began to wear down, as it is (at least in hindsight) obvious from the first published data sequence, whose elements do indeed show a steadily declining trend:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![All measurements plotted along with their trend line showing a decline][14]][14]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So for the final rework, the wire loops became a lot simpler and messier, to facilitate the quick exchange of both participating links (only two this time!) against new ones.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![The final setup, where only two chain/tread links (and thus one interface destined to break) are included in the measurement][15]][15]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Using two brand-new link pieces for all the following measurements, these data were gathered with the simple pieces:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - 1180&#xD;&#xA; - 1150&#xD;&#xA; - 1100&#xD;&#xA; - 1290&#xD;&#xA; - 1080&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And with the track pieces:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - 1280&#xD;&#xA; - 1420&#xD;&#xA; - 1360&#xD;&#xA; - 1400&#xD;&#xA; - 1350&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In conclusion, the tracked pieces are on average really a bit stronger than the simple ones (1362 grams vs. 1160, for a difference of ~15%), but both lose a lot of their strength (up to half of the new value!) when repeatedly forced to their breaking point. Even though there is no visible deterioration and the tests certainly haven't led to any destructive failures (apart from a few drops of spilled water).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Notes&#xD;&#xA;-----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The potential difference in strength resulting from turning the links &quot;inside out&quot; as recommended by AaronD in the comments became irrelevant by the test setup which uses a straight stretch of chain. It could be interesting once the chain is wrapped around a gear, but here I tried to get the cleanest measurement with the least amount of variables.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The kitchen scale used still is only accurate to about ~10 grams.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the end, only 5-5 measurements were made with each link type using the final testing protocol - more measurements could refine the average and might introduce new extremes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3711#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=42107-1&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=42148-1&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3873#T=C&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://bricks.meta.stackexchange.com/q/604/3631&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/9844/lego-train-magnet-strength/13050#13050&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Cd0bY.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6paEK.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/1WtZ4.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/FT1uY.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/9U9Ez.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/FU3Sb.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [13]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/hApO4.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [14]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/xLwJ3.png&#xD;&#xA;  [15]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Ukxbh.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

The brick succesfully visible in Lego Mindstorms editor (or smth idk what it is) but when I click connect to it the error appears:&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]  &#xD;&#xA;And I saw that I receive something weird to my buffer after establishing connection (it was weird because there is nothing in the [document][3] about the bytes). So I decided to took a real ev3 brick and check out what are they sending to each other. Using RawCap and opening the result through WireSharp I saw that they are &quot;messaging&quot; a lot sending each other different things like version of firmware on the brick, the name of the brick, location of my project and so on. Here are the bytes:&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;after the brick sent &quot;Accept:EV340\r\n\r\n&quot;.

This obviously isn't how a real car would be driven, but it limits the amount of modification that we need to make to the rest of the vehicle. Here's a quick example I came up with:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Back axle build][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you're wondering what happened to that poor motor, I happened to use one that I've [opened previously](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/16546/708).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Steering&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Because this model already features a working steering wheel, it is fairly easily to motorize.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Step 402 front axle][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is made even simpler because the design uses a central gear the can drive a steering wheel on either the left or right of the vehicle for easy modification.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Step 115 showing steering gear train][7]][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We can replace the engine in the front of the vehicle with an L motor in order to drive the wheels:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![L-motor used for steering][8]][8]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Unfortunately, the linkage used does not support much torque, so the L motor will break this connection if allowed to drive the steering at full power.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Step 411 steering connection][9]][9]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At reduced power on the steering motor, this all works together fairly nicely as expected:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Driving animation][10]][10]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There's certainly more optimization that could be done to clean up this build, but this shows one way to motorize this vehicle with as little rebuilding as possible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Despite the fact that this model can be motorized, it isn't really well suited for it. Being a relatively large system build, there are many bits and pieces that can fall off of this when driving around. As just one example, the wheel arches are just held on by a few studs can can fall off easily. This set can be motorized if desired, but it may be better off as a display model.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Op1G1.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/cbkFl.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/HS0vC.png&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/96OBV.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Lp8T1.png&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/w2j9i.png&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ScRJf.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/IDrY5.png&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/BAAmk.gif" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

A recent example is [Pneumatic Pump Small (6L) V2 with Reinforced Cylinder](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=bb0875). A pump like that can relatively easily be driven by a regular motor (by transforming the motor's rotary motion into a linear back and forth motion - using a cam mechanism eg.), which in turn can be controlled by your controller of choice.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note, you can make this as complicated as you want, with features to protect your motor from overload, to more evenly generate pressure, etc. Many examples of varying complexity can be found on the internet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Controlling the direction of air flow ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;LEGO have released several switches over the years. A recent example is [Pneumatic Switch with Pin Holes and Axle Hole](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=bb0874), which has a convenient axle hole to allow it to be driven by a motor.

Here's a quick example I came up with:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Back axle build][5]][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you're wondering what happened to that motor, I happened to use one that I've [opened previously](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/16546/708).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Steering&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Because this model already features a working steering wheel, it is fairly easily to motorize.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Step 402 front axle][6]][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is made even simpler because the design uses a central gear that can drive a steering wheel on either the left or right of the vehicle for easy modification.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Step 115 showing steering gear train][7]][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We can replace the engine in the front of the vehicle with an L motor in order to drive the wheels:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![L-motor used for steering][8]][8]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Unfortunately, the linkage used does not support much torque, so the L motor will break this connection if allowed to drive the steering at full power.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Step 411 steering connection][9]][9]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At reduced power on the steering motor, this all works together fairly nicely as expected:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Driving animation][10]][10]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There's certainly more optimization that could be done to clean up this build, but this shows one way to motorize this vehicle with as little rebuilding as possible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Despite the fact that this model can be motorized, it isn't really well suited for it. Being a relatively large system build, there are many bits and pieces that can fall off of this when driving around.

It must be possible to customize the list of eligible sets, as I would like to include e.g. Bluebrixx part packs for certain standard parts instead of relying exclusively on official Lego sets. Also, I might like to list individual pieces from Bricks &amp; Pieces as individual &quot;sets&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;- Input: Pricing information on sets.

(But I am aware this is computationally hard, if not unsolveable other than by brute force in some cases.)&#xD;&#xA;- Some import facility to automatically retrieve parts lists at least for official Lego sets from some up to date source.&#xD;&#xA;- Part equivalency lists - some parts are just slight variations of other parts with some refinements done to the molds. In practice, though, it doesn't really matter for most models whether a given tile has a groove or not, whether a given brick or panel comes with open or closed studs on top, or whether the negative studs on the underside of a given part have a certain optimized shape. Thus, if parts can be marked as &quot;equivalent&quot; for a given set of parts list, they should be treated as if they were the same part.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Surely, MOC builders already routinely do this on paper or otherwise manually, but is there already any tool like this available?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT: Here are some UI sketches that illustrate what I am after:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Consider, for instance, these input/output tables:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![UI sketch 1][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In there, I have listed the required parts for my MOC (obviously, only an example here for the sake of demonstration).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, I have assembled a list of sets to (possibly) buy, along with current pricing information.&#xD;&#xA;In the same table, I now want to be able to indicate how many copies of each set I'd like to buy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The tool should now output the total cost.&#xD;&#xA;At the same time, it determines which parts I would get beyond the ones from the *Required Parts* list.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note how the resulting output changes based on modifying the count of set copies to buy:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![UI sketch 2][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the selected sets to buy do not cover the entire list of required parts, the tool should notice this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![UI sketch 3 with missing parts][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have tried to determine whether **Rebrickable** could fulfil these requirements.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What I could find was that I can compare a given parts list (of a MOC) to another set.&#xD;&#xA;Alternatively, I can compare such a parts list to another custom parts list.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Neither of these fulfils the requirement to compare against multiple sets (where &quot;set&quot; can simply mean &quot;a package containing X &gt; 1 times part Y&quot;), and then see what additional parts remain.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, I could not find any way to supply custom price information (based on the particular discount offers that might currently be available where I can conveniently buy) to consider for such a comparison.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/TcLXB.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/dUEOD.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/UyZ3W.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I've built a church from Lego, then tried to build one just as big using Nanoblocks: it having a 30-brick tall tower, but found it to be about 1 brick short, so I estimate Nanoblocks are 3•1mm tall which is what it says on LNO Nanoblocks box, and not 3•2mm + 1•8mm of stud = the 5mm given as their height.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So 2 Lego plates will be just over twice as tall as Nanoblocks. One may as well do each level of Nanoblocks as the 2 Lego plates levels using joins in differing places. 1st layer Lego plate, then bricks where also wanted for 2nd layer of Nano, then finish 1st layer Nano with 2nd layer of Lego plate, or maybe start with bricks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Kawada Nano Block of Japan don't use tubes, but a ridge. This lets the brick below to be positioned anywhere along its length. It is the same with the 1×x pieces as they have no bars. Lego tiles 1×2 with 1 stud &amp; 1×3 with 2 studs can position under their studs if they have groove.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Looking at building a Lego elephant from Nano instructions, it uses 1×4's with round ends. These Lego plates are only in 1 set. To be able to move the ears back to ~45°, I considered using hollow bricks, so square end bricks could turn like a round 1 can. A panel corner 1×1 does the job &amp; needs to be mounted 1 plate lower so the corner of the brick is over its base.&#xD;&#xA;Back of Lego elephant, black = 1×3 +2 studs &amp; groove, white = 1×2 +1 stud &amp; groove, yellow = 1×2 +1 stud normal &amp; grey = 2×2 corner. There be 2 ways of doing the top part of legs. Used plate 6×x &amp; so not hollow. Nano, red when I've not dark gray, 2×2 corner as not Kawada.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Photo of orca (killer whale), I do not have the right Lego ball joints, see 1 full brick on fin, some clone brand, 2nd black from front are 2 1×3's with 2 studs with 1×2's atop (I've none for the Nano, so got there a 1×3 atop).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for T shape, as 2 layer, 1 using 1×3 &amp; other 2×2 corner both with a 1×1.&#xD;&#xA;Bulldog, from Wise Hawk, full brick for mouth with top part hidden for Lego.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With the beagle dog there is a 1×2 at 90° under centre of a 1×4, as can't be seen can use a 1×2 with holes as its hollow studs fit to bars. Maybe use a 1×2 slope. (Has a 1×1 atop, so full brick &amp; plate for 2 Nano.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/B8C7M.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/l2Xt0.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6f9zo.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/LXYcj.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

It was launched in 2023 and appeared originally in 3 speed champions sets:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Speed Champions sets including this part][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of the height and side stud placement, it is similar to [87609][4] and [99206][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![87609][6]][6] &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![99206][7]][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's even a bit like the classic [Erling brick](https://rebrickable.com/parts/4070a/brick-special-1-x-1-with-headlight-and-slot/7/) when the brick is used on it's side:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![4070][8]][8]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is one of the smallest brick-like parts available that provides two studs at 90 degree angles from one another. It fills a role somewhat similar to the smallest brackets, [36840][9] and [36841][10]:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![36840][11]][11]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![36841][12]][12]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This part shares its footprint with [24246 Tile Round 1 x 1 Half Circle][13]:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Tile 1x1 half circle][14]][14]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It does have some unique advantages. It's very easy to sneak this part in where it would otherwise be difficult to create a studs out connection. Here are some examples from the first wave of sets:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![76916 step 53][15]][15]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![76916 step 65][16]][16]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![76915 step 27][17]][17]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![76915 step 28][18]][18]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another advantage of these parts is that they can be used to recreate the 5 plate tall bricks with studs on side in a way that should be usable in most contexts where these elements are needed:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![1x1 snot bricks][19]][19]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The geometry of these parts also makes them useful for microscale building. Here's a quick example of a train car that uses these elements to attach the wheels:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Train wheel attachment][20]][20]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The rounded back of the part also allows it to be used at varying angles as demonstrated in this [quick X-wing design](https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-146985/jncraton/x-wing/):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![X-wing step 1][21]][21]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![X-wing step 2][22]][22]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![X-wing step 3][23]][23]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![X-wing][24]][24]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This looks like a part that could open up a number of new building opportunities.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's a final clever example of this part being used upside down to create a tiny toilet on the [Concorde][25]:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![Concorde Toilet][26]][26]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://rebrickable.com/parts/3386/plate-1-x-1-x-23-half-round-with-side-stud/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/VTScT.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZW7Iu.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://rebrickable.com/parts/87609/plate-special-2-x-6-x-23-with-4-studs-on-side-1-support-wall-on-bottom/71/&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://rebrickable.com/parts/99206/plate-special-2-x-2-x-0667-with-two-studs-on-side-and-two-raised/&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/2XcD7.png&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/494vC.png&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/HdaDS.png&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://rebrickable.com/parts/36840/bracket-1-x-1-1-x-1-inverted/71/&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: https://rebrickable.com/parts/36841/bracket-1-x-1-1-x-1/71/&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/8Ecmv.png&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/QJwMo.png&#xD;&#xA;  [13]: https://rebrickable.com/parts/24246/tile-round-1-x-1-half-circle/72/&#xD;&#xA;  [14]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Tv3MT.png&#xD;&#xA;  [15]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Iw8d1.png&#xD;&#xA;  [16]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/higll.png&#xD;&#xA;  [17]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/yjQ6y.png&#xD;&#xA;  [18]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/j19yx.png&#xD;&#xA;  [19]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/wkV0f.png&#xD;&#xA;  [20]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/lQgDC.png&#xD;&#xA;  [21]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/4khgI.png&#xD;&#xA;  [22]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/e0cCA.png&#xD;&#xA;  [23]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/SHXcg.png&#xD;&#xA;  [24]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/xcDdF.png&#xD;&#xA;  [25]: https://brickset.com/article/98631/review-10318-concorde&#xD;&#xA;  [26]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/r1okT.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

MyLocalInt is not defined&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  // we could define MyLocalInt at the start of this subcall&#xD;&#xA;  // to fix the error, but it would be a new variable, not&#xD;&#xA;  // related to the one with the same name in MySubroutine1&#xD;&#xA;  ...&#xD;&#xA;}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;...&#xD;&#xA;```&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Global variables are declared at the top level of the file and can be used in any blocks (`subcall`, `vmthread`, etc.) and will have the same value everywhere.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Local variables are declared inside of a block (between curly braces). Those variables can only be accessed in that block and the value does not persist between calls of that block.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Direct commands also run as a program. They just have more limited rules compared to a user program. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, to answer the fundamental question: memory isn't directly shared between programs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, there are some opcodes that can be used to access memory in other programs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From http://ev3.fantastic.computer/doxygen/VM.html:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **opMEMORY_WRITE (PRGID, OBJID, OFFSET, SIZE, ARRAY)**&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Write VM memory&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Dispatch status unchanged&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Parameters&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - (DATA16)	PRGID - Program slot number (must be running) (see [prgid](http://ev3.fantastic.computer/doxygen/programid.html#prgid))&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - (DATA16)	OBJID - Object id (zero means globals)&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - (DATA32)	OFFSET - Offset (start from)&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - (DATA32)	SIZE - Size (length of array to write)&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - (DATA8)	ARRAY - First element of DATA8 array to write&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; [Direct command example](http://ev3.fantastic.computer/doxygen/directcommands.html#opMEMORY_WRITE1)&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **opMEMORY_READ (PRGID, OBJID, OFFSET, SIZE, ARRAY)**&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Read VM memory&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Dispatch status unchanged&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Parameters&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - (DATA16)	PRGID - Program slot number (must be running) (see [prgid](http://ev3.fantastic.computer/doxygen/programid.html#prgid))&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - (DATA16)	OBJID - Object id (zero means globals)&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - (DATA32)	OFFSET - Offset (start from)&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - (DATA32)	SIZE - Size (length of array to read)&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Returns&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - (DATA8) ARRAY - First element of DATA8 array to receive data&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; [Direct command example](http://ev3.fantastic.computer/doxygen/directcommands.html#opMEMORY_READ1)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Using these instructions seems dangerous since one program doesn't really know what is running in the other slot, so you may or may not be reading from the memory you intended to and writing to the wrong memory could cause crashes or other unexpected behavior.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Instead, I would recommend using the mailbox opcodes to transfer information between programs if needed."

Colours like Lego, red, blue, light &amp; dark bluish grey, B&amp;W. Height little less than Lego plate, estimate 3•1mm instead of 3•2mm.

They are the same height as Nano Block, the white isn't quite as white.&lt;p&gt;Just bought some more the same. I believe it to be L'OZ. Basically I'm after what brand of Nano Blocks there are, came sans instructions.

I’ve been watching videos, and reading a few LEGO idea books, but not finding a lot of info on Technic, though I did build a Mindstorms robotics set back in the 2000’s.

While it is possible to use non-Technic elements to build moving contraptions, Technic system is designed for  dynamic models and for increased model rigidity.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;General advice on learning new techniques is just either building sets you are interested in or other people's MOCs (My Own Creations). For later I suggest checking [Rebrickable][1] - it is also a great website for inspiration. While you can get general understanding of Technic system by reading some literature you need to know your elements, their physical properties, geometry, how they interact and what kind of result you could get combining several of them together. For this you may want to get yourself familiar with a variety of Technic elements - you can find them listed in [Bricklink][2] catalog under &quot;Technic&quot; categories. This is one of the major places where you can acquire individual parts for your own models too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I know you mentioned you don't like building cars, but these sets usually contain the greatest variety of moving elements you cannot find in more &quot;static&quot; models. Bigger sets are great &quot;part-packs&quot; as they help out with getting yourself a decent amount of parts of different sizes and shapes. While brand new stuff is great, Technic sets are pretty robust so you may look for older models in used condition, to save some money for more LEGO.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://rebrickable.com&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogTree.asp?itemType=P" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

(I know about electronics)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It seem that if no reflections are detected within approximtely 1 second, then the train switches off. In normal driving, the gray track parts reflect light on/off. But if you lift the train, then it sees no alternating reflections - and stops.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The colored tiles:&#xD;&#xA;Looking at the bottom of the DUPLO train, you see a tiny window. Inside this is a 3 color LED diode. It looks as if the diode is cycling through the colors black (actually off) - red, blue, green, cyan, magenta, yellow, white.&#xD;&#xA;These are the colors possible if each diode is just switched on or off&#xD;&#xA;(I dont know if it uses brightness modulation - but I think not)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the window is also some light detector, measuring the amount of reflected light. So a red tile will reflect a lot when the red LED is on, but a green tile will reflect very little when the red is on.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This provides 7 possible tiles for the coding."

I assembled it and use it each December as part of my Christmas tree setup. Every year I pack it up carefully, by using tissue paper to wrap all the train cars and engine. I wad up some of the tissue paper and I carefully fit it around the different parts to protect them. Then I pack up the track and the parts and they still, even with all the wrapping and protection, fit in the original box.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The issue is that every year when I open it up I have parts that have fallen off the train cars and have to look things up in the manual to make sure they go back in the right place. Pulling the battery pack of the coal tender always means that car falls apart and has to be re-assembled again. There are other parts that are problematical.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the engine, the smokestack and smoke repeatedly come off. You can see there's not much smoke because it falls off so easily it's lost. The cow catcher and the wheel assemblies also tend to fall off easily.&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the caboose, the lanterns, the doors, the man, and the &quot;lights&quot; on the side of the car frequently come off. &#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;There are more parts that easily come off over the holidays or during storage. (While the tree display is generally protected, sometimes the train is the victim of the car or grandkids.) However, breakage during the holiday season is not nearly as frustrating as having to re-connect so many parts every year when I unpack this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I get that, for true Lego fans, the idea of gluing anything is offensive. I did find a good answer on here about what kind of glue to use, if one wants to use that. I understand the reasoning behind not gluing. My intent, with this train, was to have a train that looked nice around the Christmas tree (and the kind of trains I played with in the 60s and 70s as a kid are now in the $300 range or more and the trains I had as a kid, while functional, have older tracks that aren't as &quot;failsafe&quot; for the train, when running, as this set).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm sure a lot of people have reasons to store assembled sets, such as for transit to shows, or to keep them safe when not on display at home. Are there any other ways to store this set to keep it intact from one year to the next?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/winter-holiday-train-10254&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/E4J9q.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/J9sFa.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Please note that this should not be done too often, as the procedure will damage the connection and could even crack the torso. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;LEGO never intended the arms to be replaceable. It is not like snapping and unsnapping bricks, however it can be done a couple of times with no ill side-effects.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In my experience the most times you can replace an arm on a minifigure without making the connection permanently damaged is 3. Maybe 4 times if you are lucky and you find an arm that is very tight.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The best tactic is to take care of minifigures carefully. Constantly moving their joints will make those connection loose. If you are working on things like stop-motion videos where you are frequently adjusting the joints, it is best to use cheap minifigures. You can still play with more valuable minifigures, but it is best not to constantly move their arm around. Arms get loose faster than legs, so while you can put the minifigure in sitting, standing, or running position many times before the joint will get loose, arms are a bit more delicate."

As you seem to be aware of, it is difficult to get individual bricks from these individual sellers. Having to pay separate shipping from various buyers plus the unreasonable prices can really add up.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then there's [LEGO Shop][1]. Here, you can buy LEGO bricks directly from the LEGO company. You can individually purchase bricks from [Pick-A-Brick][2], or buy their [currently advertised sets][3]. The downside to this is that they obviously do not carry discontinued sets, the selection in [Pick-A-Brick][4] is limited, and the prices are unsatisfyingly high, making the bucks add up quickly. Shipping times can be pretty quick and cheap, that is, if they're not currently having any difficulties with their warehouse. If they are, then orders can be delayed by a large amount of time, which has happened to me twice. I once placed an order there which took nearly two months to arrive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then, there's [Bricklink][5]. You seem to be aware of this website. I like it very much. It is, in many people's opinions, the best source from which to acquire LEGO bricks. The prices are cheap, it carries almost every piece and set ever released, (even discontinued ones) the tools for finding bricks are useful, and most of the people there are pretty nice. The interface is quite useful, you just have to be familiar with it. Once you get used to it, I'm sure it won't seem so &quot;clunky&quot; to you. For detailed help, enter the [chat room][6]. The people there are very nice, and will be happy to help point you in the right direction.&#xD;&#xA;Shipping times vary depending on which area you buy from. Buying from within your country might generate shipping the speed of TLG on their best days. Bricklink, however, is much less likely to have technical difficulties as each order is just an individual seller sending something off to the post office, and has therefore generally been more reliable in my experience.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Pick-A-Brick-ByTheme&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/ByTheme&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Pick-A-Brick-ByTheme&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://www.bricklink.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://www.bricklink.com/chatLogin.asp" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

This is EXACTLY what I needed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For the benefit of others, here is how I connected it.  &#xD;&#xA;I decided to attach the Motor Hub to the top of the Train Motor. But, before building up the Train Motor, I strongly advise attaching everything and trying it out.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Step 1: Put batteries in the Motor Hub.  If the light doesn't go on when you hit the green button then you probably have a problem with the batteries.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Step 2: Attach the cable from the Train Motor to either the C or D port of the Motor Hub.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Step 3: Download the LEGO Powered Up App.  With the app, create a new &quot;project&quot; for your train.  Then using bluetooth sync the app to the Motor Hub.  This part is tricky but when it's all synced and ready, there will be a green checkmark over the bluetooth symbol on app.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Step 4: Following the advice in Ivan's post above, create a simple program by dragging the pieces from the bottom of the app to the center section and connecting them. &#xD;&#xA; - I recommend inserting a pause right after the &quot;Go&quot; (green arrow) to give you time to put your hands on both sides of the train to keep it from flying off.&#xD;&#xA; - Then add the olive green &quot;start motor&quot; block (it has a lightning bolt.) &#xD;&#xA;   This block has 2 important parameters. The left parameter sets the&#xD;&#xA;   port.  Change this from A to C or D, depending on where you connected&#xD;&#xA;   the Train Motor cable.  The second parameter specifies the speed and&#xD;&#xA;   the direction.  A negative speed sends the train in reverse.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Step 5: The Train Motor replaces the &quot;coal car&quot;.  I disassembled the &quot;coal car&quot; and used the parts (plus other spare parts) to build up the Train Motor such that I could attach the Motor Hub on top of the Train Motor.  The trickiest part of this is that the Motor Hub is much longer than the Train Motor so, in other to allow the new &quot;motorized&quot; car to attach to the other cars using the coupling plates, I needed to extend it in such a way that the coupling plates were at the same height as on the other cars.  This took a few hours of fiddling.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Step 6: There are a lot of other things you can do with that app.  For example, you can connect things to the red A and B ports and set your program so that they also spin while the train is running."

Based on this list and the [color photos of all known blue hues][2], I'd guess it is a [blue][3] (Bricklink, with the official LEGO palette &quot;23 Bright Blue&quot;) one - maybe with quite extreme color variation caused by molding errors or white balance during photography: the dark turquoise is a lot darker here as over at Brickset as well. The release years of the sets it was available in (2005-2010) do indeed match the given timeframe.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Is the background a plain white sheet of paper?

However, using the methods described below could help find other problems as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The project files for the MINDSTORMS programming software are just ZIP files and can be opened with standard ZIP file tools. For Scratch-based software like EV3 Classroom, this file contains 3 files, one of which is `scratch.sb3`. The `scratch.sb3` file is another ZIP file and can be extracted as well. Inside of the `scratch.sb3` are two files, one of which is `project.json`. This is the actual project code file.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This file contains minified JSON that is hard to read, but modern code editors like Visual Studio Code contain tools to automatically format the file in a more readable way. Once this is done, an experienced coder can use their intuition to look for anomalies in the file.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The JSON file contains a top-level object with 4 sections, `&quot;targets&quot;`, `&quot;monitors&quot;`, `&quot;extensions&quot;` and `&quot;meta&quot;`. The contents of these sections will depend on the project, but in general, `&quot;targets&quot;` contains an array of two objects, one where `&quot;isStage&quot;: true` and one where `&quot;isStage&quot;: false`. The former looks to be default Scratch stuff that isn't used and the latter is the bulk of the project file. The `&quot;monitor&quot;` section will be empty unless you have monitors (variable value watchers) set up in your project. The `&quot;extensions&quot;` section contains a list of the different block types used in your project and `&quot;meta&quot;` is some more default Scratch stuff.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I was able to find the issue with the file provided by noticing that in the `&quot;targets&quot;` section, there were two `&quot;isStage&quot;: true` and two `&quot;isStage&quot;: false` objects. So it appears that somehow two versions of the project got saved in the same file. I was able to recover the projects by making two copies of the original file. In one, I deleted the second two targets and in the other I deleted the first two targets.

When connecting it to a [59510c01 9V PF Battery Box][3] and toggling the switch of the box, the motor does not move at all but emits a faint beeping sound (about two beeps per second). The axle of the servo motor can be turned manually, so the gears are not jammed or broken in an obvious way. When I do so, the LED on the PF battery box lights up - indicating that the current generated by the motor can travel back via the PF wire, so a wire breakage seems improbable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When testing with a more elaborate setup, using the [PF IR remote][4], the [PF IR receiver][5], and the PF battery box from a [42065 RC Tracked Racer][6], the beeping starts as soon as the battery box is switched on. Then sending a signal (it does not matter which direction or which channel: even the unconnected channel gives the exact same result) from the IR remote stops the beeping but refuses to turn the axle of the servo.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At this point, I see several possibilities:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. I could contact LEGO (as I bought the PF servo directly from them and haven't used it since), but seeing that it is a retired product, I doubt they could support or replace it. Or could they?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. I could try to open up the servo to see if anything is broken or stuck inside, but that seems to have a slim chance of success (if something is broken, I doubt I could replace it if it involves more than soldering or gluing a piece) and I still could not close up the enclosure properly. Or could I?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. I could try to get another PF servo motor for over 60€ - but at that price, it is not a purchase I would like to make without excluding other options. Or is it the only sensible solution?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. I could get a knock-off PF servo motor for 15€, which is 15€ more than I prefer to give to IP thieves. Or are there no other options?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Has anyone had experience with one or more of the above options and could offer me guidance on what to try next?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=88004-1#T=S&amp;O=%7B%22iconly%22:0%7D&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=42180-1#T=S&amp;O=%7B%22iconly%22:0%7D&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=59510c01&amp;idColor=86#T=C&amp;C=86&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=58122c01&amp;idColor=86#T=C&amp;C=86&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=58123c01&amp;idColor=86#T=C&amp;C=86&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=42065-1#T=S&amp;O=%7B%22iconly%22:0%7D" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />
