I haven’t actually programmed my own personal Terminator robot (as yet) in MINDSTORMS but I did hit a potential flaw in my plans.
LDD
LDD is LEGO Digital Designer. This is the Windows only application that many creators use to virtually create their model so that it can be uploaded to the LEGO web site. This application also allows you to see how the virtual model was built. So rather than designers taking a gajillion photographs of their model, as it’s being built, they just give out the LDD (or LXF) file which tells all.
But that’s no good to me running Linux!
Ah, not so. For LEGO Digital Designer runs perfectly on Linux using WINE. Behold:

So now I can easily download other peoples creations, view them from any angle then have the app tell me how to build it!
Look out world, here I come! ;P
