My experience has been that the Dacta team challenge set contains alot
of larger bricks, such as 2x4,  2x6, 2x8 and maybe 2x10 ,  all black.
There are even 2x2 corners that are full brick height, also black.
The largest brick in the 1.5 RIS is, 2x4, I think.

I dont recall if there is a clutch gear, but I think the selection of
wheels is smaller, and there doesn't seem to be very many shorter
axels.

The big plus I can think of for the Dacta kit, is the power jack on
the RCX, nice for static robots that will be on for a long time.

(...) The only problem with this is that it is now wrong. The Team Challenge set is sold in the US for $199. The same price as RIS. (25 years ago, 14-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)
