Fucker my computer crashed for this vid i use my ipad to tell this shit boy!

[SomeRandomMacGuy]

@danne6a so your computer crashed and it's my fault?

[MelonsAreHere]

So something like the trollface would be pretty simple then? I also forgot to ask how much extra Lego do you need besides the retail NXT set?

[SomeRandomMacGuy]

@MelonsAreHere A few bricks, some wheels, some cogs, and some flat tile things to make it smoooooth.

[danne6a]

Fucket my coputer crashr

[MelonsAreHere]

@SomeRandomMacGuy Don't think I have any extra wheels or cogs...

[SomeRandomMacGuy]

Essentially, yes. But the resolution has to be the size you want the image to be on the paper. So a resolution of 200*400 would take up most of an A4 page, so you lose a lot of detail, and have to be careful with the image you choose.

@SomeRandomMacGuy I've got the 30 day evaluation of Labview, that should work for now. So do you just convert the image to black and white and then lower the resolution or something?
