|

You can get 1.0 and 1.5 systems on ebay, but there is some risk and the prices are amazingly high (80-95% of retail). There is not that much difference between the 1.0 and 1.5 kits, and I recommend the latest release, because half of it is a (...) (25 years ago, 18-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.market.shopping)

I think I can answer all of these. I'll make down what I'm not certain about, and my fellow list members can correct me as need be. 1. The only significant difference between the 1.0 and the 1.5 is the AC port, which the 1.0 has, but the 1.5 lacks. (...) (25 years ago, 18-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics)

Hello, Everyone: I'm interested in purchasing an RCX, but from what I've read the 1.0 is a lot better than the 1.5 (and since they're still giving the upgrade kits free, what's the difference?). Can anyone explain the differences between the 1.0 and (...) (25 years ago, 17-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics)

Remember that this holds most of the pneumatic stuff that does not move. If you only need one switch, then IMHO it is a very good switch/base. For more switches though, it could get a tad bulky. Andy (...) (25 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics)

I have finally found a tiny solenoid valve for use with the RCX. It fits into a 2x4 stud brick, and runs off one of the motor outputs. All I had to add was a resistor, a zener (the valve runs on 3 VDC), and a diode (reverse voltage stop). It's (...) (25 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics)
