Thanx to the many emails (rather quickly I might add) I've decided to run down to Zany's and pick up another RIS 1.0 set. After several of you pointed out the cost difference of just a brick and then buying more sensors and motors, it made sense to (...) (25 years ago, 17-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)
