Re: LIGHTBARS!
@Logan McCain Rob said it would take about a week to program and assemble the prototype or two for demo purposes. My guess is that once that is done it will take him a bit longer to develop a system…

Re: 2 Ambulances, A bunch of Brickstuff LEDs!

Re: 2 Ambulances, A bunch of Brickstuff LEDs!
