Dunno if anyone else is interested, but it appears that Chapters.ca now carry Lego. Small selection, standard prices, but there are always Chapters coupons to offset that. Go here: (URL) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.loc.ca.on)

Hi, Bradley. As other people already told you, RIS is the most complete set. It is also the more expensive too. If you are looking for a cheaper and easier version, go for the Discovery set. The controller that comes with it, the Scout, has some (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.loc.ca.on)

Hi I think RDS is the best to you, except touch sensor, you also can use external light sensor in Scout, you can do most thing that RCX can do.

But to use the full power of the Scout you're going to need a transmitter for the PC. Lego or Ebay should have them. The (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.loc.ca.on)

I got a catalog today from a science store in Toronto, and it has relativley low priced Mindstorms. There are Droid Developers for $105.00, and Robotics Discovery for $159.95.
