Hi Sean,

thank you so much, you saved the day of my young son! With your documents he assembled the alpha rex in no time.

Did you ever use the mindstorms EV3 sofware to program the NXT? Is there any possibility to update the nxt brick, there seems to be a recognition problem via blue tooth. we are using a mac book pro, late 2008, and the nxt software doesn’t install on OS 10.6. So we tried to access the nxt via the mindstorms ev3 app on a samsung Tab A but it can’t find the brick. We had a similar problem with the EV3 brick, an update helped. But I can’t find tho option for updating on the nxt…

Thank you!
Silke

Thank you for posting these instructions! My 16-yr-old saved all the pieces without the instructions. Because of these, my 6-yr-old and I were able to resurrect him!

Thanks for risking life and limb to put poor old Alpha Rex up…. I was wondering why I could not find his recipe….

Comment on Dart-Penalty, the Dartford crossing service that doesn’t charge. by Jan Phillips

I actualy knew about the DartCharge and paid £10 for 2 cars to cross twice. I got the two receipts, printed them, put 1 in each car and was happy. And then a few weeks later a Penalty Notice arrived for one of the cars. I did notice at the time that the receipts had no car reg no. on them so I had to guess which belonged to which car reg.
I appealed rather than pay the penalty – why wouldn’t I appeal ? I definitely had paid and had the receipts.
Then 3 weeks later I had my appeal rejected and my penalty is now £145.00 . The reason? I had paid for the same car twice leaving one car un-paid for allegedly! I am stunned and sooooo annoyed. The system gives you now way to check and so prevent this happening. Rip-off. I am a disabled pensioner and have travelled through the Crossing quite happily for over 40 years
