I got a catalog today from a science store in Toronto, and it has relativley low priced Mindstorms. There are Droid Developers for $105.00, and Robotics Discovery for $159.95. This is quite close to the American price, so I think it is a better (...) (24 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.loc.ca.on)

(...) The RDS is a really cool set. And if it is your first time programming then i think its the way to go. The only real drawbacks i see with the scout is it does not support the rotation sensor and it only has two inputs(that you can change (...)

(...) Brad, if you can, go for the RCX (RIS) It will be usable for MANY years to come as you grow. I have all three units and I can tell you that the RCX (RIS) is the best. There was another message group that discussed all this in detail. (URL) the (...) (24 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.loc.ca.on)

(...) come as (...) I think the Robot Invntion system is too much money. Since i'm gettng the Cyber Strikers set, a $60 dinosaur book, and perhaps other things for Christmas too, I don't think I'd be allowed to do that. And I don't really like (...)

(...) You can do that with the Scout. (Note: Micro-Scout and Scout are NOT the same) The scout comes with some nice stuff.

Hi, Bradley. As other people already told you, RIS is the most complete set. It is also the more expensive too. If you are looking for a cheaper and easier version, go for the Discovery set. The controller that comes with it, the Scout, has some (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.loc.ca.on)

(...) RIS is still selling in the US for US$180 or so - RDS has dropped A LOT in price and our local 'Fry's discount electronics warehouse has them at US$68. Droid developers is hopeless - except perhaps as an add-on set once you have one of the (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)

Hi I think RDS is the best to you, except touch sensor, you also can use external light sensor in Scout, you can do most thing that RCX can do. I don't know if you can write NQC program as you are so young, you can refer page at (URL) there is a (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.loc.ca.on)
