Howdy all, A teacher emailed me asking where she could find instructions for set: Amusement Park 9725. She has 5 of these sets, but no manuals. Can this be found online somewhere? Thanks for your help! best, TJ (19 years ago, 12-Jul-05, to lugnet.inst, lugnet.edu, lugnet.dacta)
 
  Re: Anybody knows anything about this board?

It used 4.5V motors and some special sensors. Do a search (...) (20 years ago, 18-Jun-04, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.dacta, lugnet.edu, lugnet.general)

  Re: Old copies of RoboLab
 
Mark It also sounds to me as if you have the old Control Lab interface boxes. While we stopped producing the Control Lab software a few years ago, you can use the newest version of RoboLab to program these interfaces. You can purchase a copy from (...) (22 years ago, 17-Oct-02, to lugnet.dacta)

  Robolab 2.5.0 -> 2.5.1 ???
 
I grow confused about all this. Can you tell me how to get 2.5.1 from a patch/update off the net?
