so are you building any kind of electronics into the bricks?
A few years ago, some time before NXT talks were even out in the open, I used a lot the old Mindstorms kits. I still use them, but now I focus on the other type of robots. But at the time, being frustrated with the size and limitations of the RCX I thought about building a similar controller but smaller and cheaper and with more possibilities.Since I didn't know much about microcontrollers, I chose something that was easy to program and small in size. Today I would choose a Mega168 or so...So here is my microsize intelligent bricks that I've built at the time: Nemesis and Perseus bricks. If you Google the names you'll find more info about the micros. I have used them for line followers and mini sumo bots made out of Lego Technic and Mindstorms elements.
