Hello, my name is Wolf.

I grew up building with LEGO, I had basically a room full of them, but then I moved out from home and lost my LEGOs.

Years later I found that my colleague was also in to LEGO, but LEGO Technic, which was new to me. I decided to give it a go with 8288 (the red crawler crane), and Loved it! I then started tinkering more with LEGO technic expanding the crane, and seeing if I could motorize it, but it ended up as one of those things that I'd take out and poke at when I had a spare minute or two, but never really resulted in anything.

I signed up now because of TC8. I love cranes of all sorts! For TC8 I'll build a.. Well you'll have to wait for me to post my official topic on it. :wink:

In addition to technic, I'm in to Lego Star Wars - I'm collecting all AT-AT models (have only one big left, and a few of the tiny ones). I modified my

. The SBrick is great, but the 10178 is not great at walking. I might do something about that later.

Last Christmas I got my very own EV3. So far I've built a standard track3r (okay, I modified it a bit), but I run with the Open Source ev3dev, so that I can code my robot in a real programming language (for the moment it means C++, it might change in the future). I really love to combine my coding hobby with my LEGO hobby!

I recently started also collecting some City LEGO, specifically the arctic series, after my wife surprised me with a 60034 Arctic Helicrane set one afternoon! You got to love those huskies! :laugh:

Anyways, that's enough of me. I hope I'm going to have fun here and will try to share some of my projects I'm working on, and TC8, what a great challenge! :laugh:

Hi Sir Wolf, from a fellow newbie!

I'm thinking of also buying the EV3 so I can build a robot to chase my cat about.

Thanks! :classic: I hope all will go according to my plan!

Hi there!

Well, hello!

Hi Sir Wolf, from a fellow newbie!

Haha! That sounds dangerous ... for the EV3 :wink: But yeah the EV3 is probably my favourite LEGO brick. If you do get the EV3, also get yourself a rechargeable battery an charger for it, otherwise you end up buying so many batteries... Or else use rechargeable... But the EV3 battery is totally worth it.
