Hi,
I'm putting together the parts for my RIS2.0 set in order to sell the set,
but I can't find the fiber optics cable... I might have thrown it away by
accident....

Anyway, I've looked on the CD and in the instructions and I can't seem to
find the cable being used for anything.... is that right?

Look right. I can't find any use for it in the instructions either.

Also, how long is it?
Is it like in this picture - about 12 or 12.5 studs long? (Apparently one • of
the parts in the spybotics sets also looks like this)

Peeron's inventory says it is 25L though (= 25 studs long?)

Thanks,

In my RIS 2.0 set it is actually 25L (25 studs) long.

What is the use of this fiberoptic cable??
Can it be used with the lightsensor? Or is it used only to program the Micro
Scout from the RCX tower ? Or maybe there are other way to use it (apart
from only decorative use).
