I'm a Senior Software Developer. I strive to be a polymathic person interested in a range of subjects which positions me as an Innovator, Problem Solver and Solution Designer.

I gained a broad set of experiences by programming since 1993 in different fields of engineering application. With a speciality in computer vision & CAD, I’m also the inventor of a US patent-pending algorithm in the field of Facility Management.

My current technology focus is on Cloud Computing, mobile computing and HPC. At home I do math, robotics and sculpting.

This (rcheliresource.com/video-lego-rc-helicopter) is a Lego replica, scaled up. Looks pretty cool.

comment Has anyone made their own custom LEGO bricks?
Nice question. I cast a lot with resin in RTV molds but I would like to know more about ABS casting (tips and tricks).

I think there's two categories: Single plastic-only piece and Single Lego element.

comment What different bricks exist with studs on the sides?
@PeterDC I think the complexity of the question is in the semantic. What is a brick? To me a plate is a specialization of a brick, so when I read 'bricks' in your question I think of a lot of pieces. To me this was confusing.

I go with Joe Wreschnig on this one. The list is too long because it covers any piece that is used in a SNOT way (which could be all pieces)
