in the spectrum catalog i have, there are 2 sets i'm interested in...
and i have to make a choice.
so here's the stats on both
technology resource set (p 126)
1733 pcs, 1 9 v 'old' motor, batt box, pneumatic pcs, etc. - $306.75
robolab starter system (p 129)
1400 + pcs, 3 9v 'new' motors, 1 micromotor, 4 lights, 3 light sensors, 4
touch sensors, 14 leads - $418.00
the robolab has more specific rcx 'bot parts, but i enuf 'new' motors, the
light sensors would be nice, the touch sensors nice, and the micro motor,
whould all be nice too...
i run out of beams, fasteners (sppecially the black friction pegs) and the
wiring all the time, so i'm swayed to the robolab kit, but the resource is
cheaper, lots more generic technic pcs (which are becoming a rarity these
days besides the accessory packs) and the pnu stuff, which could be nice.
so your ideas? what set would you get? the debate for me ensues. this is
going to be my 'big' b-day present for me this year, because i'm holding out
for ris 2.0, or i'd just by another mindstorms right now.
anyway, i'm tending to ramble lots these days.
thanks for humouring me

| (...) Hi Dave, In my opinion, you shouldn't buy either of these sets. If you are looking to spend that kind of money, you should hunt down some of the older but huge and very cool technic sets. Im talking about the 8880 supercar, the 8480 sapce (...) (24 years ago, 28-Apr-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
