Hello All!
I am a newbie to the Lego robotics scene ( I will be receiving a RIS for
Christmas ( very excited ) ) and have been following this newsgroup and
other sites for the past few weeks. I really do not own very many Lego
pieces at the present (especially technic) and I am concerned that I will be
limited by the amount of parts and motors provided in the RIS. Should I be?
In most situations is two motors enough? Should I go ahead and purchase
another Lego set for parts? Or just a motor? I am in high school and not
exactly a rich man. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Robby Cochran
