I still use Fischertechnik parts occasionally. In terms of there robotics
(this will get me shot too...) and pneumatics stuff - they are far in
advance of Lego - but for actually gearing and wheels Lego Technic does
still come tops for me.
Having seen some of the very large Mecha (like Eric Sophie's creations) -
it is possible to build big - you just need more patience, and a lot of
Lego.
What I would love to see with Technic - is a system of large flat panels,
so if I was to build a frame using beams (studless or not), I could use
pins to attach the large panels to them. The panels would of course be
studless. I have used baseplates for it - but I feel proper panels would
give a better overall effect.
