(...) That "fiber optic cable" goes with the new USB tower. It's for use with VLL (Visible Light Link) devices, like the Micro Scout. You stick one end into a hole in the USB tower, and the other end into a hole in the Micro Scout. So if you don't (...) (23 years ago, 27-Nov-01, to lugnet.robotics)

How long is the fiber optic cable in the kit? I am looking for a fiber optic cable that is longer than the one in the RoboSports kit. I find joing two of the latter "cables' together causes too much signal loss. Any suggestions on where to find a (...) (23 years ago, 27-Nov-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) BTW, it's not a new part. The Extreme Creatures Expansion set contains 6 or 8 of these, as did the classic Technic Space Shuttle set. In both of these sets, the fiber optic strands are used with a rotating light gizmo. Tilman (23 years ago, 28-Nov-01, to lugnet.robotics)

I have the fiber optic cable from Extreme Creatures (I accidently said RoboSports in my earlier post), but that is about 9.5 cm. If the one in RIS 2.0 is 19.5 cm then it must be a different part, or am I missing something. I am looking for a cable (...) (23 years ago, 28-Nov-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) No, these are different. The new is thicker (inside of a pin), soft and just cylindric. The older ones are made of a harder material, are thinner for most of their length with just a thick end, and they have ridges that divert some light along (...)
