Hello my name is John Sanford and I'm originally from a little island in Alaska, now live in the Seattle, WA area.

I remember playing with legos with my cousins, I only had a few myself but they had a TON of them. Being from a native fishing village we created a ton of the different types of boats everyone owned on the island, seine boats, bow pickers, etc.

Recently bought the Lego Mindstorm set and that sparked my interest in all things Technic. Picked up a few of the larger sets, some small ones, and a bit of random bricks here and there; which I have on my Rebrickable Profile.

Well, that's it for now.

Hey, I live in Seattle too. Welcome. I'm new here also.

I recently bought a lot of those sets too.

What do you plan to build with all of them?

Besides building the A & B Models for each of them and learning different techniques. I'm also interested in combining the brains of the NXT brick to the awesomeness of these sets. For example I wanted to add some brains to the 8043 - Motorized Excavator for something as simple as automatically choose which actuator to turn to pickup a item in front of it.

But before that I'm gonna start with a simple PF controlled SUGV.
