It is a really nice concept. I had never heard of it. But then as GenX at young age I played with Fishertechnik [0] more than with Lego. Around since 1966 [1].

- aidenn0 6mo agoConstrux is what I played with. It was only sold for a few years.
- patwolf 6mo agoI too had construx. I probably used them more than Lego because they were better suited for large structures. It's a shame they don't make them any more.
- shagie 6mo agoI'd love to play with fischertechnik again... https://www.fischertechnik.de/en/industry-and-universities https://www.fischertechnik.de/en/industry-and-universities -- Factorio on a shelf would be neat (but "request quote" tends to suggest its out of my price range https://www.studica.com/fischertechnik/fischertechnik-factory-simulation-24v https://www.studica.com/fischertechnik/fischertechnik-factor... ) https://www.fischertechnik.de/en/maker https://www.fischertechnik.de/en/maker ---- I first saw fischertechnik at an engineering expo at the local university in the 80s. There was a terminal and you'd enter the type of candy you wanted, and it had a robotic system that got it from the shelving... which was neat. The backside of it had another robotic system that got a piece of candy from a conveyer belt (of many different ones), identified it, and put it in the now empty spot.
