Actually, I wasn't referring specifically to the pincer robot in
the photo, but more so to other parts of their product line. I find
the various gear boxes and solar kits of interest (especially the
planetary gear box).
Before I came out of my dark ages, I used to always be
perusing catalogs like Edmund Scientific for interesting gadgets
that might form the basis of a fun project. And, even now,
I'm not against escaping the bounds of the Lego System now
and again to add a bit of electronics to get the job done.
