Isn't it a bit of a contradiction to have a person who wants to build robots,

the programming element out, all you're doing is building another Technic model,
albeit slightly more complex. I don't see a market for this kind of thing in my
area at all: everyone I know either is an excellent roboticist, or hasn't the
slightest interest in robotics. Just my few, random thoughts on the matter.

(...) I have to agree. If you don't want to build programmable robots, why not just build a motorized model with a motor and battery box. The whole point of Mindstorms, as I see it, is that you "add" programming to a structure of Lego elements to (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jun-05, to lugnet.robotics)
