where did u get all the helium? I know albertsons inflates balloons, but do you have to pay? and how much?

[bzupke]

Many party type stores will rent helium tanks. You'll need a big tank if you want to lift an RCX or NXT.

That is amazing. Very cool. I can't wait to see the next one!

[zc630]

I think RTX is more fun than NXT

[pjwithbread8]

not really. just a little more flexible sometimes. but not really.

[javlin100]

I think about your creation that is the fis of the lego that has been put in the sky!!!

[billyboy385]

its realy dark in your house and song rocks!

[ronaldmcrae]

and I also like the fact that you took the time to write a decent length story about the project. I expect you'll find NXT makes life a bit easier for your next build but somehow I find that that makes it a bit less challenging!

[ronaldmcrae]

That is just so good and different. Great work 5/5. All the better because it is RCX!

[timboy1993]

great- put it in outdoor, and say goodbye to the NXT set. hehe. Great project.

[drschmitty777]

excellent.

[meinblockpunkteu]

That is sweet!

How did you build the air-screws?

[bzupke]

I cut out larger prop blades from some plastic that was part of the packaging for some electronics.  I then glued the blades to a couple of LEGO props using a glue gun. I increased the pitch of the blades by first gluing a small piece of cardboard (like from a cereal box) on the LEGO props.

[xilliah]

where do you get helium?

[bzupke]

You should be able to get it from most party stores (like Party City).

[xilliah]

I wanna make lego dynamite, where can I get nitroglycerin?
