|
Hi, I was thinking about sending away for some extra sensors and maybe motors for my RCX and I was wondering what to get. I'm willing to spend up to $80 - $100 US.

(...) It's probably not perfect, but I suppose that a 1-1 ratio would have caused problems with the Technic bricks with holes, i.e., the holes would have to be made smaller to fit in the "stud holes" beneath the brick. Also, a 1-1 ratio would (...) (25 years ago, 30-Jul-99, to lugnet.general)
