The press room at www.legomindstorms.com has some new pictures of the two
new kits due out this year.
From these pictures, it's clear that the "Scout" unit - in the Robotics
Discovery Kit - is very similar to the RCX; it has only 2 inputs, and
either 2 or 3 (the picture's not clear) outputs.
The "Micro-Scout" unit - in the Droid kit - doesn't have any visible
inputs or outputs apart from the motor(s); the picture of the R2-D2 model
appears to suggest that there are two motor shafts, although the unit only
looks big enough to house one 5225 motor. (In the picture R2-D2's front
wheel appears to be steerable and drivable... not clear how they achieve
this though!) There's also a nice view of the new crown gear - two of
them shown in the R2-D2 model.
Looking at the picture of R2-D2, you have to wonder what the other 400
pieces are?! (the Droid kit apparently contains around 600 ... far more
than R2-D2 uses!)

| Is it possible (with the standard firmware) to read the RCX sensors (actually, ideally, to run any old subroutine) at equal intervals, ie like every 100ms or something? (I assume it must be, otherwise you couldn't measure speed with the angle (...) (26 years ago, 24-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| I just got my RIS as well as some pneumatic parts yesterday. The timing couldn't be worse as I'm in the middle of finals and can't spare much time for non-studying activities. However, your suggestion inspired me to take a study break and open up my (...) (26 years ago, 23-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics)
