Hi bought the lego mindstorms kit and built a couple of simple robots with it. It is great fun, but not had enough time to play with it for a while :(
Its a good kit, if you are wanting to start with something simple I think its worth getting, it has some quite sophisticated sensors and controller. You can even write your programs in Robot C. I was very pleased with myself when I was sitting on my sofa with my laptop on my knee and my robot on the other side of the room and I was debugging its movement in Robot C wirelessly using bluetooth :).

1.5 years now

Been climbing for about a year and a half now. Not done any outdoor climbing yet, but I climb indoors about 3 times a week now. It is great exercise: builds strength, stamina and makes you think. A lot of people think its all about upper body strength but its not, it works everything: legs, back, stomach, shoulders, etc. I love it.

I am two stone lighter than I was when I added this item to 43things, but I keep forgetting this. I still have a lot to lose so that I can get to a healthy “overweight” instead of obese :(
16.5 stone or not I can still climb a 6a overhang :)
