On Our Desk - 17

Didn't even read anything, just saw the lego 4x4 and skipped right to it. Omfg I need one in my life.

i've just been looking at the IcyBox USB NAS-like solution, your article raised a point: drivers?

i'd like to access the USB HDD's i've attached on my Hackintosh, Linux boot and Windows. by driver, do you mean it's not actually a NAS server? it's just a controller waiting for Windows driver calls?

I really want to have that lego model. I might buy it for my brother :D

Mark was so impressed he couldn't bear to take it apart to send it back so he bought it :D

I want that Lego truck!


You guys did mess up the build, though. You put the steering wheel on the wrong side.





:D

The Lego buggy is brilliant. I have similar technic kits, combined with the NXT Mindstorm, and Microsoft Robotics Studio to program them.

And on top of the fun, I learn how to write proper robotic software!!!

No videos of the lego truck?

I've got that Lego kit, actually. The 8275 digger is better as it's remote controlled, as well as being a more complex build.

Technic went downhill a few years ago and they only just seem to be fixing it. I wish they're release a third Test Car, though - got the first cheap in a local toy shop when they were closing down, never bought the Test Car 2 as it was too expensive, then just suddenly seemed to vanish.

The Lego model I really want right now? The Collectors Edition Imperial-class Star Destroyer. But they've stopped selling it in the UK.

a shame it's all studless these days. it is much easier building something out of the blue with those studs on them.
nonetheless, i want that truck. now.

Did you really even need to ask that question? :D

Yes please Mr bit-tech Staff man! :D

It took you 8 hours to build that trunk? Pah n00bs. When it was 12 i probably could have built that in 2 hours. I guess id be a bit rusty now.

Got bought that Lego for my birthday about a month ago by my beautiful girlfriend :)

I can verify everything you say and it ****ing epic, even built an acrilyic display case for mine :D

I'd have to make a ramp out of books if I had one.

Is the Icybox USB thingy just compatible with USB mass storage devices or could you plug a printer or wireless dongle in it?

Paradigm Shifter: the first result on Google for the digger you mentioned is you :) and that digger is epic!

Damn that Lego truck is cool.. lately I've been only buying Star Wars sets and the occassional yard sale buy of assorted box of pieces (gotten some really good deals). Been thinking about getting into the MindStorms stuff. Might be able to mod that truck to be programmed with the MindStorm kits.

Sorry, didn't look at the other products... yet.

He's not joking, the morning Mark brought it in, every one of us squidged the suspension and drove it up and down his desk a few times. Was like the average age in the office dropped by about 20 years! Core i7? Bah! Lego Technics all the way! Would you guys object to a whole month of lego reviews?;)

Would you like an honest answer to that question!

Lol i wouldn't object but i hope that i don't get lynched by the masses for saying that

btw, wheres that video??
