Thanks to everyone who responded, both by posting and email. I had a great time looking at Jin Sato's site as well as other Japanese Mindstorms sites, thanks Juergen. Isn't it odd that the Japanese version of RIS 2.0 shipped back in November but (...) (24 years ago, 10-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)

That's the one. I used the low pressure version to get the 1/2 watt rating I.E. 5VDC @ 100mA.

With the news of steep discounts on the Droid developer kit, I located fours sets at a CompUSA in Austin, and bought them all at $29.99 each. Will probably give two away as gifts and use the other two this week, which happens to be spring break for (...) (24 years ago, 10-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) There used to be a scan of the 2.0 contents page on Jin Satos site, but currently I can't get it from here. AFAIR the differences were not spectacular, some fiber optic piece that fit on the light sensor is added, there still are no steering (...) (24 years ago, 10-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) So you got the same late shipment from Future Shop too? I was hopping that we may get a RIS 2.0, but a RIS 1.5 is still great for the 50% off price. I also have no idea if the RCX 2.0 has any physical difference compare to a RCX 1.5. (24 years ago, 10-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)

I did not know of this book, it looks interesting. BTW, searching on Barnes&Noble showed 11 Mindstorms books! I believe only a few have been discussed on this list. Oddly, some of them are from the early 80's and not about Lego at all. Thomas (...) (24 years ago, 9-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)
