New record for tallest LEGO tower!

Originally set by Chile (at an amazing 30.94 meters![~100ft.]), Brazil came a long and beat it by a little under 1 meter!  Standing at 31.19 meters (~102ft.), this tower is almost a tease to Chile.



Is Chile going to come back for more???

Got back from vacation and got some new LEGO parts while I was gone!

Hello everybody!  I just got from a fun vacation!  And while I was there, I got some cool LEGO stuff done and received LEGO parts while I was gone!  Here's a list of what I got done:

1. Started making a Bluetooth guide (made some good headway!)


2. Tried at least 3 different stair climber ideas (1 of them almost made it, except for the wiring problem [LEGO needs wireless motors])


3. Destroyed my Scopio XV-1!  here's the video:

Now here's the list of parts I got while I was gone (plus, a pic [not mine, from the seller]):

I know everyone is waiting for the next LEGO-X podcast.  And I know that you want it to be a video podcast.  I will tell you right now....it WILL be a video podcast!  I'm trying to see if I can get some green fabric ( ;) ), and a decent software for video editing.  Video podcasts are a LOT harder than audio, so it will take a bit longer than useual.  Stay tuned!
