Well I have 2 1.0's, 1 1.5... still waiting for the 2.0 to come to a decent
price to buy it.
As far as motors go, I had 10 before I bought two 1.0's and since then I
bought a studio's backdrop, and a robosports add-on. That makes my motor
count to 16.
What's really funny is I am starting to have a decent mindstorm collection,
and I am not really a robot-head like the rest of you. I am still working
on my automated train crossing "collection" .... runs, ducks, and hides...
