You can do that with the Scout. (Note: Micro-Scout and Scout are NOT the same)
The scout comes with some nice stuff. But to use the full power of the Scout you're
going to need a transmitter for the PC. Lego or Ebay should have them.
The Micro-Scout can be used with the Scout to do some cool stuff. The main HUGE
downside to the Scout is the lack of memory.
On the plus side the Scout and RCX can talk to each other. So, at a later date, you
get an RCX, you can use the scout as a slave and get more inputs etc.
