Former LEGO ambassador and LEGO zealot as a whole. If I could give negative rep for people writing "Legos", I would. It's going to be very hard not to suspend any offender though.

Feb 28	comment	How do I get started with Mindstorms NXT 2.0? As such, this question isn't exactly a good fit for this Q&A site, as it's too generic in nature and doesn't give information on what you actually tried. The best way for you to learn is to start using the Mindstorms kit and following the instructions (LEGO did a good job with it so that children should be able to start by themselves without help). If at some point you encounter a specific issue which you can't solve by yourself, then you'll probably be able to ask a more specific question. The FAQ explains which questions should be asked here.

Feb 27	comment	Why do new LEGO bricks feel softer than old bricks? Some very special parts (licensed headgear, big dinosaurs) may also be produced there, but definitely no regular bricks whatsoever.
Feb 27	comment	Have any Lego sets been released with errors/mistakes in the build instructions? If not, why not? I'm fairly confident they do so at some stage in the process and, but even that doesn't seem to ensure all errors are eradicated. However, it sometimes can lead to errata sheets being added to the box when reprinting the instructions fully isn't an option anymore.

Feb 27	comment	Electric, Plug Holder 4.5V/12V what is it for? Also, notice the coloured plugs and tiles. As the plug holder holdes the plug connecting to the motor into place, you can safely remove the ones coming from your control center, and you won't have any problem knowing which one goes where thanks to the colouring scheme.
Feb 27	comment	Electric, Plug Holder 4.5V/12V what is it for? So basically it serves to hold plugs in place when they aren't plugged in anything, typically when extending wires. Contrast with the alternate build for set 7745 where the plugs just lie there inelegantly. In a way, I suppose you could compare this part to the new pneumatic connector which holds pneumatic tubes firmly into place. Of course, electricity tends to make wires move less.

Feb 27	comment	Why do new LEGO bricks feel softer than old bricks? You may want to clean up the question by removing speculative bits in it; as it is now it's quite hard to figure out what it is you're actually asking.
Feb 27	comment	Electric, Plug Holder 4.5V/12V what is it for? Well, it holds plugs, right?
Feb 26	reviewed	Approve suggested edit on Why did LEGO create different canister for the Visorak?
Feb 26	comment	Why does LEGO state the number of parts on US boxes, but not in Europe? Which if you ask me is a bit weird considering the extra parts seem to be extremely consistent
Feb 25	comment	Why does LEGO state the number of parts on US boxes, but not in Europe? Thanks, that's at least one important part of the question answered - and I fear the rest won't be anyway.
Feb 22	comment	Is the PWM on the PF Servo motor different than the PWM from an Arduino? Just a thought, you may want to sacrifice extension cables instead of leds.
Feb 21	answered	Is the PWM on the PF Servo motor different than the PWM from an Arduino?
Feb 21	comment	Is the PWM on the PF Servo motor different than the PWM from an Arduino? Editing questions to make them better isn't limited to moderators, quite the contrary - everyone is welcome to contribute in that way, too. That said, the question & answer looks fine to me now.
Feb 21	comment	Is the PWM on the PF Servo motor different than the PWM from an Arduino? Well it's ok to ask and answer your own question but you'll certainly want to rewrite the question so that it looks like one.
Feb 20	comment	Why does LEGO now use studless technic designs? Right, as long as you kept studs up, everything was easy, and you could argue some constructions were actually easier, but at the cost of one degree of freedom. I suppose Sariel's book (see Tooshel's answer) details the pros and cons much better.
Feb 20	comment	Is the PWM on the PF Servo motor different than the PWM from an Arduino? That doesn't quite seem as a real question so far... (but I'm fairly confident you can reformulate once you have the answer)
