This is the kit that's so often recommended as a good parts kit to extend the RIS. This kit is new, unopened, in the original box. It has something over 1,300 parts, including two motors (one is a mini-motor), a battery box, a turntable, a shock (...) (25 years ago, 26-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Actually, they got as low as US$25 at some Target stores. (I bought one.. my girlfriend wouldn't let me get two, even at that price) Although I got mine for less, I definitely think it's worth US$50. It's a nice set, although the CD-ROM is (...)

(...) The first line of each file should be unique, and you should be able to use it to infer the version number. At least the first line is unique for firm0309.lgo and firm0325.lgo. You can actually decode the lines if you like -- they are header (...) (25 years ago, 26-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics)

| | Firmware file version?
|

Is there a way to get the version # out of an RCX firmware file? Namely, the files firm0309.lgo or firm0328.lgo. I'd hate to rely only on the file's name. It'd be nice if one could reliably get the version, without having to download the file into (...) (25 years ago, 26-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics)

Here is a cute stepper-motor driver we've been rigging. It takes a motor-on pulse and converts it to a 12V stepper step. It uses positive pulses and negative pulses to make the stepper go forward or backward. If you tell the RCX to run the motor at (...) (25 years ago, 25-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics)

This is about as low as they got in the US, (approx US $50.00), and for that it's a nice collection of white beams and bits. I'm not sure I would have bought it unless I had the other robotics bricks (Scout and RCX) already. It doesn't do much by (...)
