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 (...) (26 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 (...) (26 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.loc.ca.on)

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 (...) (26 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.loc.ca.on)

(...) 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.

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 (...) (26 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.loc.ca.on)

(...) The 3571 has the motor, battery box, cable, and two flex shafts. The flex shafts are the best part, IMHO. ZNAP will be reissued in a few years I'm sure, once they've designed better mating to standard Technic. Cheers, Ralph Hempel - P.Eng (...) (26 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.loc.ca.on)
