We also could use a tag "0 AW*" if why ever the orientation is not clock-wice but anti-clockwice .... I think (...) (25 years ago, 2-Oct-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Mindstorms: da dove comincio?
 
Il mio consiglio, e penso condiviso da altri, è quello di procurarti un RIS, Robotic Invention System, che comprende l' RCX (il microcomputer programmabile dal PC) due motori, due sensori di tocco, uno di luce, e un sacco di pezzi. Ovviamente (...) (25 years ago, 2-Oct-99, to lugnet.loc.it)
