Yeah, it's called an RCX ;)
I have no idea why the RDS brick has any real appeal in the face of competition
from the RCX one. No active sensor capability, and only 1k of room for
programs?
Even at Lego's $129 for the RCX, if you already have a technic collection,
you can
add an RCX and a couple of motors for what the RDS kit costs. And IMHO, you'll
get more for your money.

| (...) Just the touch and Temp sensor I'm afraid. The light Sensor will work as a passive. (ie no red light). The Rotation sensor won't work at all. Dean -- Coin-Op's For Sale!: (URL) Lego Workshop: (URL) Lego Club: (URL) (23 years ago, 16-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)
