Hi, I just call Lego Customer Service from France. I asked about RIS 2.0. The sympathic girl answered me that Lego has changed his mind about RIS 2.0. For the moment no production is planned before at least one year ! Marc Klein A Mindstorms fan. (24 years ago, 23-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

| | 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)

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.

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)
