| Has anyone bought set 8446? It is a "Forestry Machine" with six wheels (seems to be stearable in pairs) and with a huge gripper arm. Seems useful for robotics - I will perhaps buy one for Christmas.... - kjell krona (25 years ago, 14-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| 8446 (the green monster) isn't very fit to be RCX controlled, (but technic pieces are useful anyhow). It's a strange but clever model in itself. A selfcontained 'pneumatic' plunge is used to push up the front cabin, triggered by a mechanical lever. (...) (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)
