Gosh I keep saying spark when I mean spike im probably gonna get set 42160 it has three motors, a technic hub and a ton of pieces, so it’ll be a good start or I’ll get a bunch of cheaper motors and stuff on bricklink thanks for the help!

C+ is short for Control+. I’m mainly unsure of which motor solution to go for.

I made a new post where I ask the question I actually meant to ask, I’m not sure how to close a thread so sorry about the junk post

Hey, I'm trying to make some motorized lego machines. I've found out that Spark Prime is the current official solution, but I don't want to spend so much money on what I can do with arduinos I already own. The question I have now is, what motors or sensors do I use? Sensors are less of an issue, but I want to be able to mount motors effectively onto lego. Should I get Spark motors and use a breakout board like this? Or are there any good third party lego motors that can connect to arduinos easily? Also, maybe should I use a different control system like C+? I want freedom to code systems deeply though Also sorry for my earlier post, I had not yet done enough research to know what I wanted to ask

I want to build the kinds of things in Brick Machines videos (of course much less ambitious level atm) with all the moving parts and such, such as like mindstorms, but also mindstorms is discontinued so I’m unsure what I need to get

I don’t have any motors, gears, tracks etc. and not much technic. I’m also confused about Mindstorms, Spark, Technic Hub and all that stuff. Can someone explain what to get to get started and what the deal is with the different electronic things?
