Hey, Cammy mentioned Lego! :crazy:

When I used to have the stuff out (Some years back now, now all in storage) the last things I was building were “avoider robots” (One which worked with some novel gearing and just one motor - Still reversed and turned left/right as appropriate) and another RCX based one; as well as working lego engines - The biggest being a 4-cylinder in-line hulk (Cylinders were bricks, pistons were flat plates) that ran off a vacuum cleaner, along with a single cylinder version (~1000rpm) and a dual cylinder, fully valvegear-reversable engine using the conventional lego pneumatic cylinders.

Just thought I'd bring the car and lego topics into line  :-D

Yeah, same here. 3x under-bed roller boxes chock-full, 80x40x15cm each, and another box for all the models still in storage. Still used to spend hours and hours trying to find that one special part, though.  :insane:
