I know what you mean, but it's the same with the 'advanced' models in
the RIS set.
Those don't have step by step instructions though (like the Cybermaster
for example).
Are the ones on the Ultimate Builders CD step by step or do they show
major building steps?

I'm sure I've seen something like that on the internet, somwhere on
brickshelf or on a fan page. It looked quite nteresting, but I can't
seem to find it now.

Would that be anything like the wall climbing robot you can see in the
RIS introductory video.
That one has 2 RCXs, but it might be a simplified version....
