-Everything will be compatible. Heck, this is Lego - ThrowBots and
Duplo are compatible with Technic. The basic yardstick is, "What do you
need?" If you're just looking for a bundle of parts, try the 8480 Space
Shuttle. Pricey, but it's got a _lot_ of gears and some nifty stuff that
isn't in the Mindstorms set, including a micromotor, a fiber-optic light
set, a turntable, and the makings of a transmission. Or, you might be
interested in pneumatics, in which case 8462 Tow Truck might be a good
start. Also, make sure to get catalogs from both Lego and Pitsco-Dacta,
and browse the parts they offer.
-But, in general, any Technics kit will be of some use. The bigger
ones tend to be better buys, as the cost/piece is lower, and they have a
greater percentage of gears, etc.
