I am an AFOL because it is a very easy to use medium in which to construct and evolve mechanical devices - such as robotic platforms. I have bought a number of the older "high end" sets mainly to obtain the industrial quantities of parts that a true (...) (25 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)

Here is a program letting you play with InfraRed Ranging using the standard Light Sensor and the built in IR Communications Port. You can play around with the THRESHOLD value with 2 light sensors and see what kind of range and consistency you get at (...) (25 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)

Some ballpark numbers without thought to temperature and pressure. Approx lift for 1 Cu Ft helium = 1 Oz. RCX = 9 Oz. You might need two.... Motors = 2 Oz ea 4 (?) required Misc structure and balloon estimate 2 pounds? Total ( minimum ballpark) (...) (25 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)

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.

Hey! Anyone thought about making their rcx airborne? I figure we can do it with helium(lots and lots of helium) or with a hot air ballon. You could set up propellers and use a skid steering system. Yeah it would be reeeeeally difficult but i think (...) (25 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)
