Hi all,
I am selling laser modules for Mindstorms. The modules are
two 2x6 lego bricks one on top of the other with a plate on the bottom.
It has a wire with a lego power connector on the end attached to one
end, and the laser sticks out about 1mm from the other end. The wire
attaches to an output port of the RCX. The modules are available in
blue or black, but if you would like another color, I may be able to get
it for you with a slight delay. The price is $35, which includes shipping.
To order, email me and tell me which color you would like. I need at
least three more orders, or I will have to raise the price.

(...) I don't think I was clear enough in my last post. The $35 price includes shipping, but only for orders inside the US. International orders need to pay shipping. Josh (25 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Are you talking about *real* lasers that can cut things? Or just one of those LED pointers? --Tobias (...) (25 years ago, 17-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
