These are stuff I actually bring with me everday.
I used to have a Kondo Kagaku robot kit with NEC TOKIN 3D motion sensor and Semb1200A testboard (sponsored when I was training at a parts company). great but expensive toy, eventually got tired of it, gave it to my cousin who is also an electronics engineer. used to have (used) lego mindstorm kit too.
