Does anyone have a part-by-part listing of the differences between RIS1.0 and RIS1.5? I am under the impression, for example, that there is a white clutch-type gear intended to permit a motor to continue turning if the drive train/robot becomes (...) (25 years ago, 23-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

Where can I buy the RIS. I would like to stay away from ebay, but it seems that everywhere is on backorder or not available. Please Help. Thank You, Greg Ericksen (25 years ago, 22-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

Mechanically, LEGO is beautiful to work with. The components are well selected for rapid prototyping. For example, you will find that the hole spacing in the beams and the center-to-center distances of the gears ...seem to work well together. (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

I think that unless you are going to write your own communications routines, you will need spirit.ocx, and use its functions to talk to the RCX. If you do not use standard firmware, you will not need the cd. These options are also generally more (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

Hi Francois, Like you said, if get the firmware from the Lego Mindstorms site and you use NQC, you should not need anything from the CD. Good luck, Gus (25 years ago, 22-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)
