I'd vote that at half price, the Extreme Creatures set is a pretty good deal (full price is too much for the piece count), but mostly because of the fiber-optics--although I will say the Constructopedia pushes the user in the direction of (...) (25 years ago, 12-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)

Time to jump in.... The FOS uses a small surface mount LED. It's about 2.5mm x 3 mm and mounted to a thin PCB. There are what look like diodes and what I would guess are current limiting resistors on the board also, so good luck trying to have (...)

Yes. They can sell parts (all of them :), and we can make firmware for the RCX. That way they would not have to spend resources in devloping new software, and we could get the ultimate RCX firmware. Andy (...) (25 years ago, 11-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)
