ReconRat Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 why is this thread in EF again??I'm blaming it on you, who accidentally pwn'd the CEs, while getting the EEs, causing a defensive measure by the CEs in return...

OsuMj Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 ok, i'll take credit for all that... but this was in the EF section waaaay before I put all the other types of engineers in their place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsuMj Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 that actually sounds fantastic... I think instead of rebuilding the bulldozer, I would wad up all 'not important' paperwork on my desk and scoop them into my pencil container... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I love legos, I'm gonna have to go rescue mine from my parents' house.There is a virtual 3D lego application you can download for free. Kinda fun to play with when bored.Also, there is a huge lego contest in town at least once a year. Sort of like a science fair. Build wild mechs. I'll try to remember to let you know when it is on.

Cheech Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 K'nex were cool but they were always breaking and never staying attached how I wanted them.Funny story about Lego's and a contributing factor to why they cost what they do for little pieces of injection molded plastic. Lego engineers their molds to be ridiculously precise, down to .002mm. This is to make sure that any Lego can fit to any other Lego, and can continue to do so under repeated building. The molds are completely destroyed after a certain time, so all those old school space sets you have out there you better hold on to That's why the cheaper knockoffs always fell out or didn't work as well, the molds weren't enginerded as well as Lego's.

sandsjbyz22 Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I was all about the legos until I was usually half way thru and couldn't find the piece I was looking for. That's when they would get chucked across the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
