    I've always thought that mindstorms were the coolest thing ever. Actually, I think I may be coming close to the point where I have to start building robots. :pac: Time to move beyond semi-functional meccano cars.....

    Bit Off Topic - but I remember seeing this and thinking it was real interesting in regards to Lego.

    A secret Lego Vault - that has 1 of every Lego set ever produced :D
    If you click on the link, the guy gets a tour of the vault :D
    Maybe that's why visiting Lego's Memory Lane-the secret vault guarding almost every Lego set ever manufactured-touched me in a way I didn't expect. This wasn't amazement or simple awe. I was already astonished to no end by the tour of the Lego factory. No, this was something else, something bigger than the impressive view of the 4,720 Lego sets inside this lair. These weren't just simple boxes full of bricks. These were tickets to ride a time portal to emotions and simpler days long forgotten.

    Absolutely love LEGO, still build it to this day. Unfortunately there arent enough of those Technic sets released. I loved building the Ferrari's. I did always want the huge Millennium Falcon...

    Also I would love to build my way through that vault

    I have three Technics sets built; a large crane, a tow-truck and a 4x4 jeep. All cost somewhere between €90 and €110. The crane was the most fun and it took me about a week of evenings after work. I also built a model trebuchet that can actually catapult objects. Next project is a Tamiya model that's been hanging around for a while, need brushes and paints.

    That NXT mindstorms robot set is cool, they're programmed in a proper language used in industry (national instruments labview) so you learn something useful while you play around with it. But you don't have to write code it's all done visually.

    During 3rd year in Computer Science in DIT we got to actually code those mind storms robots to do things for us. They were running some sort of custom firmware which allowed us to do it. It was class!!

    We did some mindstorms programming in college too. Had a class once a week where we had to build a robot, program it as best we could for a specific task, then compete at that task against other groups in the class. Most efficient programmer wins the race / obstacle course / whatever. Was great fun.

    I got that for Christmas. With the exception of the collectors targeted site exclusive set I think it's their best ship ever. Started getting into lego again last year - exiting my dark age as Lego fan sites would call it - and I've picked up a few technic sets recently. Would love the Unimog from last year. Also the Modular town series stuff is amazing, the prices of the discounted ones are UCS Millenium Falcon crazy.

    Really?! I though it was a class idea. I was even thinking trying it out just for the building idea alone. Got distracted by shiny objects though :(
