speaking of parts, is it possible to just order lego parts like those

Yes, I ordered a motor form our german LEGO Consumer Service and today it is
here. In the german 2000 catalogue there are lots of service packs including
gears, bricks with holes (don't know what you call them in English) and the
like. Just take a look on the LEGO homepage.


finally, does lego have a competitor in the 'mindstorm' market?

If we are talking about robotics with brick-like parts, FischerTechnik (don't
know if its available outside Germany) here in Germany has had kind of robotic
kts long before. But IMHO they have nothing like the RCX. And of course there
are people selling sensord for the mindstorms packages.
