Timberdoodle's review
 
NiCad battery pack (8.4 volt, 940 mAh) with improved charging using microcontroller to monitor rate of charge and prevent overcharging. Fast 1.8 hour charge time.

This works perfectly to supply the computing interface for longer periods of time (than 9-volt battery) and yet retain mobility (compared to the restrictive tether of the 9-volt transformer cord of the Starter Set). Also works well with any motorized Fischertechnik sets, and you will find the extra cost up front will pay back with no more batteries to buy.

About Fischertechnik:
Fischertechnik began making world-renowned components nearly 50 years ago for engineering companies. The components were used in their designs to simulate new installations, to debug them, and to train those who would operate the new equipment. Designed with quality and realism in mind, they are still used in the industry today.

Over the past few years, Project Lead the Way, a U.S. organization that promotes pre-engineering courses for middle and high-school students, has used over a million dollars of Fischertechnik components in 1,300 schools in 45 states to increase the quantity and quality of engineers and engineering technologists graduating from the U.S. education system.

Engineered to scientific precision and manufactured using high strength nylon, plastic, and steel, Fischertechnik components are built to last for decades. The unique design of these components results in stronger and more reliable connections when building than any other manipulatives. Equally valuable in a home school curriculum, Fischertechnik gives children a modern and proven advantage in learning technology.

After Lego, we were at a loss - these are great! November 5, 2008
Reviewer: Elizabeth L. from Dublin, Virginia  
My son is advanced for his age and mechanically inclined. Although this is a wonderful blessing it has been a challenge for our family to find materials to hold his interest and keep him challenged. After going through all of the Lego and other available construction projects available to us we were at a loss. I am so grateful for timberdoodle for making Fishertechnic available and for keeping it affordable. Thanks to their reviews I was able to determine which items would suit his needs...and they have been great!! He has been able to build  models of transmissions, of pneumatics and of motors with technical accuracy and understanding. I would encourage any family to put these models into the hands of their children, both the gifted and those whose strengths are in other areas, we all drive automobiles and at some point in our lives will need the ability to assemble models of one kind or another. There is something for everyone here, and the models are well suited to homeschool families and age ranges. Try one of the intro models offered at a reasonable price...and you will be convinced!

These kits (pick anyone you want!) are THE BEST!!! October 31, 2008
Reviewer: Karren C. from Elizabeth, CO  
These kits (pick anyone you want!) are THE BEST for teaching hands-on kids how things work, what makes it "tick", what it looks like when you don't want them taking the real thing apart(!) and has them thinking the whole way! Especially great for boys who need things to do(!) that are real and valuable and they don't have to be reading to do it!  We LOVE these products. The hardest part for you as the parent will be choosing which one to buy!
