I'll second that. For the cost of the expansion packs combined, you could
probably pick up a 8480 Space Shuttle on e-bay, which has loads more useful
stuff for robotics or just plain technics. Motor, micromotor, polarity
reversing switch, lots of long technics beams, fibre optics etc. And it's a
great set in its own right, as well as a great addition to your parts
collection.
For robotics and technics, I think it's better to buy a few really big sets
rather than lots of little sets, because a lot of the interesting parts are
only available in the large sets.
