Actually, now that stuff is leaking out, its starting to look scarily accurate. Now, where is that Jar Jar minifig, Iza hungry! But it doesn't say anything about the Flash speeder in there so, Im going to wait a little longer on eating that fig. (...) (26 years ago, 21-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Best guess - to appeal to different segments of the market - the scout looks 'easy' to use for people with no computer or programming experience - but they still keep a door open for those of us that have computers and are crazy about (...) (26 years ago, 21-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

My book was released less than a week ago. Copies are probably just getting to physical bookstores as we speak. I just got a stack (direct from O'Reilly) today. I think Ben's right: buy 'em both.

I have one of each, but the RCX is far more interesting. I think the RDS would be fun for younger kids (it says 9+ on the box), but once you got the hang of it, you would quickly want the programming power of the RCX. My scout is still configured in (...)

Oh, I agree wholeheartedly. I believe the RDS Scout fills a nitch in the market that was lacking. When the RIS first came out, I was working at an educational toy store that sold it. Most kids that got one loved it but quite a few RISs did get (...) (26 years ago, 21-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
