Fischertechnik vs Legos

I have seen·a few·applications of stamps used to interface with lego products such as Lego Mindstorm, etc.

Has anyone seen any stamp applications used to control or interface with·Fischertechnik robots, etc?

Side Note -

Fischertechnik is a German Company that·makes connectors.· They have also made (since 1965)·various engineering construction sets similar to Legos but in my engineering opinion far more superior to Legos.· The individual pieces lock in place (instead of snapping) using a tongue and groove·method.· The·difference robotic sets contain the usual array of sensors, motors, microcontroller interface,·etc. (very·similar to Legos).· I'm currently looking at using the Javlin Stamp as an interface.· Fischertechnik tends to·cost more in general.·

    don g,
    I have a set of Fischertechnik . Even though they say that there lego's for grown ups , once you build their examples it's really hard to build from scratch. I would take the money and buy a mill/lathe , it would be money well spent.


    ps If you really want some Fischertechnik , I'll box them up and drop them at the local ups store and you can call them and tell them where to ship them.
