Agreed. If I had bought the Roboriders based on the first one I picked up

There really isn't any playability with them. I, too, bought them for the parts,

pieces that quite a few Mindstorms lovers will miss out on because they don't
think the Roboriders are worth their time to check out. The ones that Mindstorms
folks should look closely at: Dust, Onyx, Lava.
The only thing I don't like about the RoboRiders: the wheels. Those silly
creatures on the wheels prevent me from ever making use of them. Off to my
Brickbay sale they go....
