Would you (or the parent post) care to explain what's boring about them? Not everything can appeal to everyone, after all - that would seem to be an inherent flaw of the crate model. I had a look at their catalogue... A lot of the Eureka crates seem to be sports-related (a table tennis robot and a golf putter for instance), and some of them haven't got any moving parts (the golf putter), which would've certainly made it more attractive to some - but personally, I don't _really_ have a problem with that. From what I could gather, they also explain the design choices behind each kit, which makes it all the more interesting. I'm a bit concerned about the durability, since neither their tiny printing press nor their pendulum clock look like they'll make it for longer than a week, but overall, it seems like a fun thing to do on a rainy afternoon.
