- Jtsummers 4y agoElectric "crap" has been in Lego kits since the 1970s through the Technic line. Hell, as a kid I didn't have the electronic components, but I did have some non-Lego electric motors so I extended my own Technic kits to be motorized. Sadly, I forgot to add a stopping mechanism. So many shattered cars.
- agumonkey 4y agoOne day I remembered that the first electric circuit I ever assembled was with Lego << Lights and Sounds >> kit that had batteries, connectors and mini light bulbs (with colored head caps).

- cianmm 4y agoMindstorms and the RCX put me on the path to software engineering. Probably the single best “toy” my parents ever gave me.
