Somewhat off topic:
I'm looking for a good source of basic Lego Technic parts (beams, gears,
axles, etc.) for robot construction. I'm not really interested in
particular kits with specialized parts like the motorcycle, forklift, and
such-- I just want a good assortment of Technic gears and parts. What's a
good place to find this stuff?
I checked etoys.com and toysrus.com, but both had very limited selections
of Lego Technic sets. I also checked out Pitsco, which is mentioned on the
Handy Board web site, but they don't appear to have a general Technic
starter set either.
If anyone knows of a good source for these parts, or the Lego kit number of
a good starter set, please let me know.
Thanks!
--Steve

| Hi Steve. one more suggestion for lego parts... Pitsco only advertises a limited number of part kits on their web site. Did you check out their Dacta catalog? In the back there are several pages of specific part kits (i.e. gears, individual motors, (...) (26 years ago, 14-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
