Could someone advise me how to spend $400 on Mindstorms related products? My
thoughts are to either shell out a little extra to purchase the Robotics
Invention System, Droid Developers Kit and Robotics Discovery Set, or to
simply buy two Robotics Invention Systems.
Is it more useful to have two RCX bricks or one RCX and the units of the two
accessory sets?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Btw, see http://www.lugnet.com/market/shopping/?n=1795 for the origin of this
dilemma.
Build well,
Andreas Stabno
