Hi.

I have both the Cybermaster and the RCX, which come with several touch
sensors and a light sensor. What sensors are the best to add? I was thinking
of rotation sensors, but they seem to be difficult to get, and quite
expensive too. Any suggestions? Will TLC bring out more new sensors in the
(near) future?

I would buy 'The Ultimate Accessory Set'.  It includes a touch sensor, a
rotation sensor, a 9v lamp, a remote control and a collection of Technic
parts, all for around US$50.

The remote-control is more useful than I thought:  It lets you call up
programs, stop and start motors, etc., and seems to work over long distances
(6 or 7 meters) with the IR receiver on the RCX pointed in almost any
direction.  It's great for 'performances'.

   I'll post this here, although it's in the grey area between
   right and wrong posts:  Jeroen, if you want just the RCX bits
   from the Ultimate Accessory Set, email me; I got a few of
   them on Target clearance, but I'm not an RCXer and I just
   wanted the transparent bits.  I'd be happy to send you the
   sensors, remote, etc. (all the electrical bits, really, plus
   manuals) for much, much less than US$50, plus of course the cost
   of shipping it to the Netherlands (Ironic, because I'm in NL
   right now...).

   best
