 I found them at the Target on North 183 (Lake Creek), but at MSRP. Has
 anyone noticed prices at the local TRU's?

 This is a bit premature, at least on my part, but has anyone lent any
 thought to getting together for local Robosports competitions? As I haven't
 opened the boxes yet, I don't know for sure, but I assume that construction
 and programming directions are given with the set for robots designed for
 specific purposes; e.g., in the Robosports case, soccer or tag or some such.
 At $250 per robot, I can barely afford one, no less two for head-to-head
 competition, so I thought getting together with like-minded LUGers would be
 fun, especially for kids. Any takers?

Partially because I suspect the canned Robosport stuff is kinda limited, and partially because I only have Robolab and NQC on my Mac. :^P Whatcha (...)

 |  | Howdy Austin Lug.heads, I've already mail ordered and received my Mindstorms set, but the Robosports add-in set I ordered with it bas backordered. Has anyone seen this set or the Extreme Creatures add-on set in any local venues? How about prices? (...)   (27 years ago, 8-Nov-98, to lugnet.loc.us.tx.aus)
