| | | 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)

I was looking at couple of set just yesterday and of all the sets they had in the shop I thought that one was the most interesting, but there is a couple of special lego pieces in the set that I find a bit excessive and less usefull.

| | | | (...) I think you think that they think it's an 8443 Log Loader. It's really the big ugly green thing with the silver coloured baloon tire hubs in the Christmas Catalog. This looks like a neat model for gears and wheels, but the gripper looks like a (...) (25 years ago, 15-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)
