I've seen those. I think what someone does is buys a mindstorms set, and
breaks it up into these parts:
- 2.0 upgrade stuff (CD, IR tower, instructions, and test pad) ($20 to $40)
- RCX ($80 to $100)
- Non-electric stuff (the legos) ($50 to $75)
I haven't seen the motors and sensors, but as you can see he's already
breaking even!
