(...) I got the sports expansion pack for xmas. It was alright, but i think that there are cooler sets to spend your money on. What sorts of parts do you want? If I were spending $50 I'd probably get 8277 (lots of beams, especially for $30) and (...) (26 years ago, 26-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Yes, I hooked an SPO256 + CTS244 text to speech chip to a software UART. However, I don't reccomend this solution.

I was thinking about going down and getting at least one of the expansion packs this week. Is one much better than the other? Or is there enough good stuff in each to warrant buying both of them?
