I assume you mean the lack of RCX?
9725 is a the Dacta equivalent of RIS - but you're supposed to buy the IR
tower, RCX and software separately. However, as it contains similar
elements to RIS, and costs about 75 pounds (100-ish dollars) it's quite
cost-effective as an expansion for your original RCX, especially compared
to the prices of the sensors and motors bought separately. Definitely
better value than the "official" expansion sets :-)
I would still have to say that RIS is easily the most cost-effective set
available... the problem being that you'd _still_ only have two motors per
RCX!
Thanks for the inventory Dave,
Stuart
