Lego Robot Builder

Of course I played with Legos as a kid... I am curious how they deal with the fact that in the "Y" plane of a lego brick there is little or no moment force resistance. How do these robots stay together when a load is placed on them?

Mindstorm

06/05/2006 1:45 PM

Mindstorm is the new home chemistry set of a new generation. Lets see how many people start listing it as a programing language on their resumes. Still its a boon to industrial automation; how many people in 8 years will be able to put down 12 years of robotics programing experiance at 21?
