We need to have some off-topic questions – Eric Jun 11 at 14:20

1

I would have better read a real Lego Q&A site than a specific Mindstorms Q&A one. Indeed, as AFOL community grows, there are more and more groups about specific Lego tricks (like SNOTS ones). I believe changing this group from Mindstorms specific to full Lego universe would raise far more interest. – Riduidel Jul 1 at 10:02

@Riduidel: Perhaps. However, the AFOLs in the mainstream area which you speak may have little to no grasp of electronics and computing, which the larger proportion of this proposal is about. Also, I fear that the number of non-robotic lego questions you can ask is limited. Mainstream lego is more about showing off ideas, rather than finding out information. Just my two cents – Eric Jul 7 at 20:11

Well, OK, I now understand the difference between both. However, there will always be corner cases (like, say, creations by sariel - the first one I'm thinking about - who make use of all the lego things he can). – Riduidel Jul 8 at 7:32

There are a proposal for general Lego. It might be better to use this with tag mindstorm instead of having a separate site for Mindstorms. – awe Aug 4 at 9:00

No, that's a "great off-topic example". The question is too subjective, and it's the kind of question we don't want. There's no right answer. Don't confuse "not a good example" and "great off-topic example". Hover over them for a more detailed description of what the options mean. – Eric Jun 6 at 7:56

I'd say that this is a rather subjective question, and therefore is an off-topic example. – Eric Jun 6 at 7:01

Personally, I think this kind of question would be off-topic since it is subjective and at some point the question will be moot - you can't get the 1.0 set anywhere anymore other than second-hand. – afanofosc Jun 9 at 14:29

Good question. A lot of people have trouble with that. – Eric Jun 6 at 7:02

It might be better to say "how can I get my NXT to turn on - all it does is softly click" A lot of people may not know what SAMBA mode is. – afanofosc Jun 9 at 13:59
