DAVE!!

save your $$

the NXT just aint all its cracked up to be.

$0.02 and a PERSOANL opinion.  I mean its ok.  im not tossing mine in
the garbage. but...  well, I've yet to make a WORKING robot.  YES, there
are a LOT of GOD builders with NICE working NXT robots useing a LOT of
the existing software (have a look at any of the charts out there)  but
for me.. mine gathers dust.  I still love my RCX.

Chris

NXT basic?   sigh.  MAYBE source from lego?
