Hi Liz B, The movie you tried to download is a 3.3meg MOV quicktime movie. Did you have trouble with the download or playing the movie. I could send it to you in an Email if your mail will accept a large file. Let me know. rfay@attbi.com -- Bob Fay (...) (23 years ago, 11-May-02, to lugnet.robotics)

I've noticed some that buy and turn around and resell the Mindstorms sets on eBay (I'm trying to figure how they profit!). But I have also noticed some, who like me, must be buying for classrooms. There were several auctions where I kept bidding (...) (23 years ago, 11-May-02, to lugnet.robotics)

The only thing that comes to mind is that the metal strips are acting like brushes to connect the power to the commutator of the motor.

Liz, I was going to post a statement about everybody winning on my first post, but I couldn't word it nicely so I left it off. I should have tried harder. I noticed there seems to be someone on eBay buying out Robotics Discovery Sets. I think he's (...) (23 years ago, 11-May-02, to lugnet.robotics)

|
|
One day, while there was nothing to do, I took apart my Microscout (came with the R2D2 droid development kit, or whatever). I had no idea how the motor assembly was connected to the rest of the unit, so this was probably a bad idea. Anyway, I took (...)

I didn't say anything was wrong with it. You win, someone who wants an extra RCX wins, someone who wants a pile of technic parts wins, and the seller wins! Even Lego wins, because they sold another Mindstorms system. Lego could win more by giving us (...) (23 years ago, 11-May-02, to lugnet.robotics)

Seems to me that the BEST implementation of the RCX would be for some CORE changes and feature sets to be built in. I realize that these would be somewhat expensive, but I would pay pretty good money to have an RCX with the following specs (built (...) (23 years ago, 10-May-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I've seen those. I think what someone does is buys a mindstorms set, and breaks it up into these parts: - 2.0 upgrade stuff (CD, IR tower, instructions, and test pad) ($20 to $40) - RCX ($80 to $100) - Non-electric stuff (the legos) ($50 to $75) I (...) (23 years ago, 10-May-02, to lugnet.robotics)
