Thanks for passing this on. I needed a little fun break in my day today.
This would be a most cool toy to have as a kid. I used to have the Radio
Shack "electronic circuit" toys, where there were a bunch of transistors,
capacitors, relay switches, etc. attached to a flat board, each having a
springs connected to their various terminals. You'd build circuits by
sticking one end of the wire in one spring and the other end in another
spring, and so on, to build complete functioning gizmos. This moving part
thing Lego toy, combined with a little computer, would have been a blast.
(Well...WILL be a blast ;)
