As the new Lego Mindstorms site has launched, when can we expect to see the
old content "converted" to the new content? I have been looking for the
scout SDK and it is to be found nowhere. I know the SDK is rather old, but
many of the members still want it.
I really like the new design, however, there seems a distinct lack in
content, and some items are in unusual places. Also the RIS 2.0 Flash parts
list features the "old" serial IR Tower and not the new "USB" version.
There is also no fibre optic link in the list either.
The new design is great and navigation is easier, however there are still
some "glitches" with the new design. At times pages can take 15 minutes to
load (No matter how many times you refresh them, or reopen IE).
Overall the new site is good, the layout of the pages and navigation are its
strong points. But the lack of content and slow loading times are the other
"side" of the site.
Yours,
Roboman8/LittleThing (Lego Mindstorms Forums)
