BrickEngineer
I stumbled upon BrickEngineer this evening. I especially liked the mechanism for a smooth LEGO clutch. There's some great animation that shows the clutch in action. It would make a great stand-alone mechanism, or it could be incorporated into a robot.

There's even something for geometry geeks.

I love the 10+1 rules, I think more people should apply them when building LEGO (FLL-robots).

When I'm teaching, I always add this rule: Nobody "owns" an idea in this classroom. It's okay to copy somebody else's idea. In the real world, if something works, it gets copied. Of course, the goal of such copying is to take an idea and improve on it.
