For me it was not a MOC or Lugnet that pulled me out from the "dark" ages,
but that I could hide behind the Minstorm set and say to my friends that I
was "programing" (most of my friends are computer-nerds :)
But when starting to make my own robots I saw the potential in other bricks,
not only for robots...
And here I go, building mostly with Techninc bricks, but starting on my
first "real" and "big" and "serious" project. I'm not clear about where it
would end, but probably it will be a vehicle with 6 or 8 wheels. Steering in
2 or 4 of them (probably) and drive on all wheels (the last is the only
thing I have decided).
And it will be a all-terrain vehicle, so suspension is a must...
This building frenzy has made me buy more bricks.... and more sorting...
more space to store the sorted bricks in... that gives me more ideas of what
the bricks can be used for and that again gives me the urge to buy more
bricks...
Lugnet made me clear about that I was not the only "old man" building with
Lego and having fun :)
So now I'm deep into buildng with Lego again :)
Thanx to Lugnet and all the ideas here.
