Awesome! Thank you for the great info. I'm in much better shape now and eager to get started.

Hi, noob here, This seems like the best forum for my questions. I see on youtube people building actual machines out of lego, like here, and I'd like to know is there one big kit, like mindstorms, that people buy to get started? Or do they just buy lots of kits and then picking and choosing pieces? Or do people use digitial design tools, generate a bill of materials and then order just those parts? Oh, and one more question: What's the best forum here for this stuff? thanks in advance
