Hello everybody, I just signed on this list and I am completely new to
Lego-based robotics -- but I am quite excited about it all! If I had only
had this when I was a kid! (And had more free time!)
Anyway, I do have an opening question. I've visited several websites that
detail people's own Lego creations, and I've seen they rely a lot on Legos
from the Technic set. I've also hit limits in running out of parts that
came with my standard Invention Set 1.5. My question is, though, is there
a general Technic set that contains a bunch of handy parts (like the clutch
and such) that can be bought in a single package? I've surfed Lego's
websites but haven't acquired much detail. Visiting the local toyshops
around here only yields a few limited, small Technic sets. I'm wondering
if I can purchase larger sets online...without blowing a lot of money
getting a bunch of smaller sets that only give me one or two sets of useful
parts...
Any info would be appreciated!

| While the Mindstorms Roverbot is moving it can produce pneumatic pressure by simply adding a few parts to its tracks. Have a look at: (URL) (24 years ago, 27-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics)
