Erector sets were incredible, as a kid I built RC cars out of those with some over-powered motors and such. Super fun times.

I would guess Mindstorms gives more of an intro to programming, while Erector is better for mechanical engineering.

(also, hey! I was that weird kid at Handmade Seattle last year who asked to shake your hand :) )

I'd attach Cox engines to them <g>.

It was a pleasure to meet you!

P.S. My mom told me that I couldn't handle the tiny screws used to put the Erector sets together. She was wrong :-) I spent endless hours building things with it.
