    Oh, I'd love to have one of those. I wonder if they will release a model with connections for more than three sensors, or that can connect together a couple of the brains to work together.

    :eek: I want it

    You're just jealous.
  • croxiscroxis I am the walrus
    Nope, just the truth!
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    I agree with Croxis. You should make proppa lego robots to take over the world.
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    Well, we tried that, but when your robots can be pulled apart by a 4-year-old, they're not a very good army.
  • croxiscroxis I am the walrus
    Glue them together silly.
  • C_MonC_Mon A Genuine Sucker
    or build it with some lego that is for kids 5 and above :p

    If you glue them together, you can't rearrange your robots easily, defeating the point of making them out of Lego. :)

    The reason it's for ages 5 and up is not because it's hard to get apart, it's because it's so easy that they pull bits off and choke on them. :p

    Isnt that an even better reason for building them out of proppa material?
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    So what's the problem, then? Coat them with sugar, such that when they're taken apart, the kids will satisfy their urge to consume and choke to death on your once-robot!
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    My experience is taught me that you don't want your robot army to be hard to maintain.
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    So why not make your robot army self-sufficient? Draw on the vast pool of other roots to re-assemble those who have sacrificed themselves for the cause!
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    Yes, look to the evil lego robots in SG1 for inspiration (dont remember their name..)
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    Do you have any idea how hard it is to build an effective robot army? And now you want it to be self--sufficient, too?
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    Well, if you make it self sufficient [b]now[/b], you won't have to do it [b]later[/b] when they've become ten thousand times as numerous.

    Then why dont you build robots to design and build the robots, that has to be far easier.. ;)
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    EXACTLY! Messiah gets me.

    If only it was. :p
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    Oh, but it is! You only have to build a computer to think up the ideas for you first!

    Edit: That would of course be an advanced supercomputer with the intelligence of a whole world. Nothing that complex for the man that spends his life in a nutrient tank!
