Cybermaster - with radio link

These tend to fighting models - which I didn't like (8-)#

There is only ONE fighting model. It's a "human like" bot that interacts with an a game in the computer screen (called the Arena) and where the children have the chance to play with the bot in the floor and see if they can win it. Besides, it's not violent at all!
The rest it's ALL vehicles. One of them is a nice tractor where children can attach tools built by them.
In another area there is a very basic program to program the behavior of your vehicle. There is also a program where you can make several things like draw a path in the screen and the vehicle follows your orders in the ground, and you also have the chance to command your bot in real time in the ground using your joystick (this part is fun for chasing cats).
There is also an area where they give you clues about vehicle types you might want to construct, with instructions how to start creating them.
And in all areas, all building instructions are great!

But I agree, don't underestimate the children.
Buy MindStorms if you think your children is the inventive type (and might like to program).

We have seen Cybermaster quite a number of times at Legoland demos. They _only_ demonstrated the fighting models (...) (26 years ago, 13-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics)
