RIS 3.0 —Henrik Johansson

Dear LEGO, I was just woundering how the work on RIS 3.0 is coming along? About two years ago you told us that is was in the works (acording to this post (URL) So, what has happend during these two years? Is the project nearing completision? Or is (...)

Re: RIS 3.0 —Chris Masclet

(...) When the new RIS will arrive ? Hey LEGO we want "more professional"parts: - servo-motors... - solenoid-valve.. - gyroscopic-sensor.. - ultrasonic-sensor - sound-sensor - The RIS 1.0 contains a main adaptator pin, what a shame it does not exist (...)

Re: RIS 3.0 —John Barnes

I had a random thought regarding the new RIS 3.0. The hand over hand monkey on a string invention set has the new clear plastic enclosed parts - motor and gear boxes. My thought was, I wonder if these parts are components of the new RIS 3.0? Maybe (...) (21 years ago, 17-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics)

Re: RIS 3.0 —Andrew Keyser

Now that is freaking awesome - but do they supply the same amount of torque as the 'standard' ones do? Also, that gearbox 2, looks nice and all, might come in handy, but I prefer having more control over my placment of gears. I think it would be (...) (21 years ago, 22-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics)

Re: RIS 3.0 —Philippe Hurbain

(...) Actually they provide more mechanical power than standard RIS motor, at the price of an increased consumption (almost doubled). More info soon in my motor comparison page ;o) Philo www.philohome.com (21 years ago, 22-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics)

Re: RIS 3.0 —Dan Lauber

I think gear blocks like that would be awesome. So long as they still follow standard lego units, they probably convey a lot of advantages over the standard gears. They can probably handle a boatload more torque, great for robots, especially arms, (...) (21 years ago, 23-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics)

Re: RIS 3.0 —

(...) 3.0! 3.0!!! I just spent $200 buying 2.0, and you're telling me there's a 3.0??? Where's that receipt!?!! Seriously, though: I just bought, Tuesday, a RIS 2.0 set, my first RIS set. Is the 3.0 currently available? If not, when will it be (...) (21 years ago, 22-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics)

Re: RIS 3.0 —Steve Baker

(...) No - there is no "3.0". There was talk of it some time ago - but I think we've seen the last of decent Lego robotics sets. I'd very much like to be proved wrong though. I was rather suprised to see that in the latest Pitsco Dacta catalog, (...) (21 years ago, 23-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics)

Re: RIS 3.0 —Colin White

(...) I don't know about RIS 3.0, but I disagree with you about the latest Pitco Dacta Catalog. I think the latest catalog is the best they have ever done. It places a lot of emphasis on Robotics. Remember there are two catalogs. The Pitsco Ideas (...) (21 years ago, 23-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics)
