Re:Ya want a battle over bricks? (Score 1)

I remember Lego wars very fondly unfortunately I don't think I won a single battle with my older brother. We did not employee the 1" diameter ball baring instead we would each get one of those large green bricks and build a thing. I say thing b/c they rarely looked like much looking back. However, throwing our creations at each others during battle we would have our final stress tests. Before this my older brother, younger and myself would throw them off the roof, deck into walls you name it was tried.... Then you'd try and figure out what angle it landed on and try and re-build your design to enhance the strength of the impact. Through this process I learned to test, test and then test some more. When you couldn't think of a new test that looked at something you could come up with throw the damn thing off a roof and see what happens. I learned a lot of skills I use in programming and working with my computer from my early lego years. For every block that you fix, your bound to find another that is broken. Its an endless struggle to fix and then break the blocks....
