Conrad, hands down, don't hesitate to get a "real" RIS set. Really. You will be disappointed with any other, and you won't be with the RIS. You should be able to find it on sale. I heard of them going for $130 at BestBuy near here, and this was the (...) (24 years ago, 24-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics)

Well, the Robotics Discovery Set (RDS) is way better than the StarWars themed sets because the Scout is actually a useful part - and you get two motors and some sensors that you can re-use later.

I'd like some advice on what set would be a good one to start with. As I am not sure how much I'll get into this, I'd like to avoid th $150 to $200 for the RIS 1.5 or 2.0 systems.
