SEEKING FREELANCER – remote
I need assistance in creating a database / statistical analysis of Lego pieces. You are free to use the tool(s) of your choice.
Here’s a brief description of the project:
1. For each Lego piece, find the minimum dimensions (x,y,z) of a cube that it would fit into. Round up to the nearest millimeter.
2. Analyze the distribution of the cubes, for example: “there are # pieces that fit into a cube of 10mm x 10mm x 10mm,” “there are # pieces that fit into a cube of 11mm x 10mm x 10mm,” etc.
3. The above analysis should be performed on the entire universe of Lego “official parts” that can be obtained from this site: <a href="http://www.ldraw.org/article/13.html" > (-- “Get All Official Parts”). There are thousands of parts.
4. Deliverables include the analysis above and the code and/or files that you use to complete it.
This is for a personal project. Ideally the analysis above would be completed in the next few weeks.
If interested, please send me an email at gthomps at gmail.com. Thanks!
