The model instructions on the CD are annoying to use since you have to build
next to the computer and click to advance to the next step. I liked building the
machine that can write pre-programmed messages, but it's rather flimsy and
unreliable because theoretically it's supposed to be only made with parts from
an RIS set and what comes in this box.
However, that same model does have an extremely clever subassembly that uses one
motor to do two things at once: pump an air compressor and flip a pneumatic
valve (it is used to raise and lower the pen). I have used that same subassembly
in another robot because it's so very useful.
The only other model I remember from that set is the wall-climbing robot, but I
don't have the proper kind of "wall" to have made building it worth the effort.
