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?

| 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? (...) (26 years ago, 8-Nov-98, to lugnet.loc.us.tx.aus)
