Parts

Which Lego parts do I need?

To use Blocko you will need a Lego Technic Interface A (Lego 9750) with included cable (a standard IDC-20 cable) and 9 volt power supply, at least one Lego Technic 4.5v motor, and lots of Lego Technic bricks to build cool stuff. The LEGO Dacta: Technic Control Center (Lego 9700) is a great set that includes all of the motors, sensors, and bricks you will need to get started. The Lego Dacta: Basic Resource Set (Lego 9605) is a great set to add on to this for more options.
