Resources+BUILDING

For those of us who need to learn some of the engineering concepts that we can address with building with Lego, there is a great and weighty document available on the net called “Building Lego Robots for First Lego League”. (91 Page pdf) http://neuron.eng.wayne.edu/LEGO_ROBOTICS/lego_building_tutorial.pdf It was written in 2002 by Dean Hystad, an engineer and Lego enthusiast. It covers a lot of concepts in good detail. It’s based around building with the old RCX Mindstorm kits, and uses studded technic beams and plates a lot. It would still be very useful for the newer kits. []
