Did you guys see the MSRP on the NXT? "suggested retail price of $249.99 (USD) and $ 379.99 (CAD)" But as of today 249.99 USD = 291.20 CAD That extra $90 sucks! -Rob A> (20 years ago, 8-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Sure the built-in rotation sensors is a nice touch, but surly they won’t be able to match the versatility of a pair of smaller technic motors and the (...)
