Hey everyone.:biggrin: I used to play with lego mindstorms (the older version) as a kid. I want to get back into that kind of thing and I was wondering if there was anything like that except more adult. I don't like the new lego mindstorms or meccano, since you put two peices together and you've done.

Thanks!

How adult?
vex kits used to be (maybe still are) US first as starter/protyping kits.

sparkfun has all sorts of kits for all types of projects.

Make magazine has a slew of DIY projects, usually made up of readily available items.
 
Well I don't want anything which is required to have much knowledge of how to build motors and similar items. I want something where you have a set, build something, deconstruct it, and build something else and you can buy more parts to build better things.

Thanks!
