The best out there (ok - there's some micro T-slot out there that looks interesting, too), in my opinion:
Fischertechnik is a brand of construction toy. It was invented by Artur Fischer and is produced by fischertechnik GmbH in Waldachtal, Germany. Fans often refer to Fischertechnik as "FT" or "ft".
It is used in education for teaching about simple machines, as well as motorization and mechanisms.
The company also offers computer interface technology, which can be used to teach the theory of automation and robotics.
The company is a German manufacturer of fasteners, and the original Fischertechnik ...
Unfortunately, it makes Lego look inexpensive.
