If everything goes fine I'll be getting a RIS 2.0 it will be
my 1st LEGO MINDSTORMS set. I have an idea but may is not possible to
do specially a newbie like me won't be able to do it but I whould like
to know if is possible to do a remote control plane?
May be no if what about a car?
Does there robots work only if the pc is on or can they work with out
using the pc once they are built?
What baterries I need for this RIS 2.0 set?
Thanks for answers
