Ya -- though actually I don't much care if it's specifically Lego (the
brand) -- I'm just interested in the idea that you can rez up things like
legged creatures and vehicles easily.  I haven't tried in LSL, but from what
I hear it's not trivial.

In my professional work, I simulate robots.  It takes weeks of painstaking
labor to measure the parts, &/or export reams of data from Solidworks, and
hand-tune an object-oriented description in Python.

I just think it would be amazing to be able to drag parts from an inventory,
snap them together with axles and joints, and script up their behavior
quickly, the way we rez up buildings in SL.
