I am shopping around for a Lego robot kit and I'd like a bit of advice.
Several websites have #3804 Robotics Invention System 2.0 for about $180.
The main Lego site sells a kit (#9916) including the following goodies for
$230.
#3804 Robotics Invention System 2.0
#9738 Remote Control
#4176779 9-volt Motor
#9916 Capacitor
#10049 Large Wheels and Axles
#10072 Beams
#10074 Cross Axles
#10076 Gear Wheels
Are these extra bits worth the extra $50?

I have done both: write small routines to test motoroized motions, and used the remote. The remote stop button is (...) (20 years ago, 13-May-04, to lugnet.robotics)

| (...) Brickbros (www.brickbros.net) had all three RIS sets on sale last week @ $130+shipping. I picked up a 1.0 set. The sale is over now and I just checked their site - unfortunately it looks like they are sold out of the 2.0 kits but they still (...) (20 years ago, 13-May-04, to lugnet.robotics)
