  I ordered a 1.5 and was sent a 1.0 Good or Bad?
 
I ordered a RIS 1.5 and recieved a 1.0. Should I be happy? I know the 1.0 has a jack for an external power supply. Also the firmware can be updated. So is there a downside to having been sent a 1.0 RIS? Thanks! Andy (23 years ago, 12-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Very GOOD! Now contact LEGO consumer affairs and tell them you received a 1.0. Ask them for the FREE 1.0 to 1.5 upgrade kit. I've received 3 of these kits with no hassle what so ever.

I ordered it from Hammacher Schlemmer. I believe they are sold out now, though, as others had their orders cancelled. -Andy (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

  RCX and PalmIII
 
Am wondering if anyone has completed a robot using both an RCX and a PalmPilot configuration? What I mean is having the PalmPilot acting as the primary processing unit and the RCX to control the motors and as sensor inputs? Thanks, VOng (23 years ago, 13-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I have exactly the same problem. How do you contact Consumer Affairs? I don't know the number or web address. Actually, I didn't even know they had such an animal. Matthias Jetleb VA3-MWJ (23 years ago, 14-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Head to www.lego.com and search for Consumer Affairs in the search box in the upper right corner of the page. Click on "Help" in the results page. Search for the text "Consumer Affairs" in the page. There, you'll see a US Toll Free number, (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

Well, you were lucky. I contacted Lego at the number you gave me and tried to see if they would send me an upgrade as well. They will, but for $25 US ($40 Cdn). Bummer. It's the second time this week. Matthias Jetleb VA3-MWJ (23 years ago, 16-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Hmmm - they told me it would cost $25. (23 years ago, 16-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)
