(...) Hmmm, now that has just confused me into thinking about it some more.... Since the NXT is just out now, and the RCX has been out for a very long time... I guess my conclusion of them both strangely being the same was jumped to, at much too (...) (19 years ago, 28-Jun-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) As long as its over the water and not through the water. (My RCX made a frightening trip through orange juice before). Anyhow, it may have initially been overseas, but the UPS shipment has originated in Hartford, CT. -Tim (19 years ago, 28-Jun-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Janey, you need to constrain the test better - the question here is "how *long* did it take the RCX not to arrive?". You have to be specific and scientific on these things... (19 years ago, 28-Jun-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) There are two issues here. First, the NXT is slightly larger than the RCX, and therefore requires more shipping space. Thus fewer NXTs per UPS truck, etc. The only way around this was to make them smaller (we on the MUP/MDP pushed for making (...) (19 years ago, 28-Jun-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Well I also ran the same test, with both the RCX and the NXT... and the results were so identical, it's almost shocking. RCX - did not place order at shop&home, and strangely it never arrived. NXT - did not place order at shop&home, and (...) (19 years ago, 28-Jun-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Tim, I think you should consider there are other factors that cause the NXT to be slower than the RCX. You may not be able to accurately run this speed test, until the NXT shipping bottleneck is eased. I assume that will be sometime next year. (...) (19 years ago, 28-Jun-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) My VERY FIRST impression is that the RCX is faster than the NXT. In my two previous tests with the RCX it took about three days with standard shipping to arrive at my door (counting from when shop@home sends me shipment notification). My test (...)

Mine arrived yesterday, earlier than I expected. I ordered two for... battle.>:-) First impressions: I need to buy fresh batteries, so I haven't fired it up yet. The packaging seemed a little lower budget than the original RCX RIS. The consumer NXT (...) (19 years ago, 28-Jun-06, to lugnet.robotics)
