MinuteBot Base

There is a great project for creating a technic/MINDSTORMS baseplate on
Kickstarter that could be a great classroom or hobbydesk testbase as well as
provide a sturdy base (or side) for many Robotics projects.

Have a look at the <http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/37801615/minutebot-base
MinuteBot Base website> to see what it is all about.

Question about NXT rechargeable battery

I bought a rechargeable battery for my NXT and was very happy with it.
However, I have ended up not using the NXT for some months and the rechargeable
battery was left in the NXT.
This weekend, I went to recharge the battery, it has been on the charger for two
days now and the battery is still flat. The green light comes on on the battery
indicating that it is charging. 
Any ideas what the problem is, and what I can do to get the battery to recharge?

Raspberry Pi and Berry Box – The Transparent Case

Hi all.  I don't know how many people around here have heard of the Raspberry
Pi, but I saw that someone is working on a Lego compatible case for it.  The
Raspberry Pi is a computer on a chip that is really cheap.  This would seem to
be an inexpensive way to add a lot more computing power to a Lego robotics
project.

Click on the "Official LEGO Belville website" in LUGNET header, and it redirects
you to the LEGO Friends site. So I guess Belville is coming back in the form of
the LEGO Friends.
