Suppose I want to get an overall view of LEGO as an adult and can afford to buy an expensive kit.
I have the following abilities
Good eyesight with glasses
Good hand-eye coordination and manipulative ability
Good DIY and tool skills
A good basic understanding of mechanics, gearing, levers and so on
A good spatial sense
An ability to follow straightforward instructions and diagrams such as making flat-pack furniture or setting up home devices. Also the ability to make simple modifications like adding a hard-drive to a desktop computer and reassembling it successfully afterwards.
Advanced knowledge of computer programming and good general knowledge of electricity and electronics
Experience of building model aircraft - both flying and non-flying models
I wish to buy a kit that contains most of the functions (motors, gears, controllers, programming, drive trains, etc.) that will be found in Technic kits of all kinds.
As an example I might buy 42100 LIEBHERR R 9800 as described here https://www.newelementary.com/2019/12/lego-technic-review-42100-liebherr-r.html
Questions
Will buying the above kit be likely too much to start with, simply because I have not worked my way up through simpler models? Are there other arguments for and against?
Is there a smaller kit that has as roughly as many build techniques and features as the above kit but contained within a smaller space?
