I went to a local CompUSA looking for a add-on for Sid Meir's Alpha Centauri
and was wandering around.  Lo and Behold, I find a children's section of
software with all the Mindstorm Kits!

Including the new RIS 1.5.  I just got my RIS 1.0 for my birthday back in
August (I"m 28 for the record) and was wondering what might be different
aside from he software updates.

I was noticing one thing - lack of color.  Lots and Lots of Technic Black
beams and stuff, but no blue, yellow, etc.   The RIS 1.0 I have came with
multiple colors of pieces, while it looks like RIS 1.5 comes with mainly
black pieces.

I'm debating getting it.  $199 for more sensors, motors, and another RCX
isn't that bad.  I was going to get the Droid and Discovery kits this
weekend anyway so what's the diff of getting that as well.

nooooo! The 1.5 doesn't have a power connector. buy another 1.0 if you can. KL (...) (25 years ago, 26-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
