(...) Hi Sebastian, That's my edge tracker. Currently there are no building plans or code available on the net. I have meant to write something about it but have not gotten around to it. I will.

| | Good complement to RIS
|

I've been on this list for a couple of months now, and I've seen the questions about which set(s) make a good complement to the RIS. I purchased the Ultimate Accessory set with my first RIS, but I've had a list of parts I still wanted to have which (...) (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

|

In a pinch - and if you don't mind spending some extra money - you can always by a train set like 4561 "Railway Express" for $129.99 or 4548 "Speed Regulator" for $41.99. Both are in stock at S@H, and include a suitable AC adapter. The first is also (...) (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Pitsco Dacta had the panels alone in the 2000 catalog (#D979912) for $35. I don't have the 2001 catalog in front of me but I recall that they added a few connector wires and upped the price to $49. You might try using the old part number and (...) (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

There's usually somebody selling the original Lego adapters on eBay for about $18. I suppose that's highish compared to a Radio Shack 9v unit. He must have a case or so - I bought 2 and they've been on regularly for a couple months. While I haven't (...) (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

Hi, Seven VA stands for 7 volt-ampere. To arrive at the ma/A rating divide 7 VA by 10 Volts. In this case it will be 700 ma ( 0.7 Amp). I do not have the mindstorm, neither have I tried the 9 Volt adapter but in general a 9 volt adapter should work. (...) (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

I just got a second RIS, this one is the RIS 1.0 with the power adapter input. I tried to find that AC adapter on S@H , but couldn't find it. There is not even any info about it in the RIS 1.0 itself. All the info I found was, that I need a 10V 7VA (...) (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)
