I had a random thought regarding the new RIS 3.0. The hand over hand monkey on a string invention set has the new clear plastic enclosed parts - motor and gear boxes. My thought was, I wonder if these parts are components of the new RIS 3.0? Maybe (...) (21 years ago, 17-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) 3.0! 3.0!!! I just spent $200 buying 2.0, and you're telling me there's a 3.0??? Where's that receipt!?!! Seriously, though: I just bought, Tuesday, a RIS 2.0 set, my first RIS set. Is the 3.0 currently available? If not, when will it be (...) (21 years ago, 22-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics)

Now that is freaking awesome - but do they supply the same amount of torque as the 'standard' ones do? Also, that gearbox 2, looks nice and all, might come in handy, but I prefer having more control over my placment of gears. I think it would be (...) (21 years ago, 22-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics)

It would be low cost (since it is passive) and offer much better resolution than the current rotation sensor for applications requiring <270 degrees (...)

I think gear blocks like that would be awesome. So long as they still follow standard lego units, they probably convey a lot of advantages over the standard gears. They can probably handle a boatload more torque, great for robots, especially arms, (...) (21 years ago, 23-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) No - there is no "3.0". There was talk of it some time ago - but I think we've seen the last of decent Lego robotics sets. I'd very much like to be proved wrong though. I was rather suprised to see that in the latest Pitsco Dacta catalog, (...) (21 years ago, 23-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics)
