Re: Wow! look at this lego...

The programming wouldn't be all that difficult, at least on the part-gathering and early assembly stage. The hardest part would be aligning the IR sensors so that the RCXs could tell each other what parts are needed. It would take a while, though maybe not three days. Let's see here--1 for the carrier, 1 for the color selector, 1 for each dispenser (2 total), 1 for the first set of jaws, 1 for the assembler, 1 for the second set of jaws working with 1 for teh last set to control the whole thing...8 RCXs minimum, plus enough sensors to overload all of them. I'd say probably one of the C-> RCX programs out there.

What I want to know is where did he get so many legos and so much time???
