This is a bit of a tangent, but...
How much memory does the Scout have? I've heard 32K RAM for the RCX but have
never heard a number for the Scout.
I picked up several Robotic Discovery Sets insanely cheaply about 18 months
ago and use them first, falling back to one of my RCXs when I need more than
the Scout can do (usually that third motor). I like the Scout, but its MSRP
was so close to the RIS that it really didn't seem to make sense to me
marketing-wise.
Ditto Cybermaster, which I also like (except for the juvenile styling). Was
the Cybermaster a contemporary of Mindstorms or an ancestor?

| (...) I've used a collection of four Scouts driven by IR commands from an RCX to drive a total of eleven motors. Just program the scouts to read simple 1-byte messages sent from the RCX - use the top two bits to select which Scout you are talking (...) (22 years ago, 10-May-02, to lugnet.robotics)
