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. This is quite close to the American price, so I think
it is a better value than they would be elsewhere. Invention System 1.5 is
$299.00, like it always is. I like the Robotics Discovery Set, and it says
that you can create over 3,000 different behaviours for the robots. Is that
true? I think a toy like that would keep me contantly amused for years. But
the TLC catalog says microscouts have only 7 programs. Can this be correct? I
think that this is what for Christmas. I will ask for this set anyway, since
it is bound to be more interactive than the Freight & Crane Railway train I
was previously wishing for (and no, nobody has bought the train yet). PS: I'm
13 years old and don't have any previous experience with robotic programming.

| (...) The RDS is a really cool set. And if it is your first time programming then i think its the way to go. The only real drawbacks i see with the scout is it does not support the rotation sensor and it only has two inputs(that you can change (...)

| (...) Brad, if you can, go for the RCX (RIS) It will be usable for MANY years to come as you grow. I have all three units and I can tell you that the RCX (RIS) is the best. There was another message group that discussed all this in detail. (URL) the (...) (24 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics, 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. I don't know if you can write NQC program as you are so young, you can refer page at (URL) there is a (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.loc.ca.on)
