Mindstorms are dope. Legos you can program? Sign me up, coach. I was actually pretty pissed off because when he was getting his grad degree in film, he had to take a course in "robotics" involving Lego Mindstorms. Me? Degree in fuckin' Engineering and the coolest thing I ever got to do was build a see-saw out of chopsticks. And I had to do 30 pages of equations on it. Erector is the bastard stepchild of Meccano, which for the longest time was banned from sale in the US. Nowadays Erector is Meccano, proof positive that it's way cooler. I mean, nobody has ever bothered making a Riefler Escapement out of Erector.
