I'd go with the complete RIS set - mostly because an RCX all by itself
isn't very useful. If you would use the 2 motors and 3 sensors included
in RIS, then its a pretty good value. Using S@H prices:
RCX $129.00
2 Motors $ 35.00
2 Touch Sen. $ 22.00
Light Sen. $ 19.75
---------------------
$205.75
Going with RIS (street price of $200 plus sales tax or $219 from S@H),
you're getting a nice assortment of 700+ technic pieces for only a few
dollars more than buying everything individually.
Buying the 1.0 set is also a good idea. You gain the power connector,
plus you can still get the "upgrade" for a few dollars (shipping cost).

| Howdy all, I've decided that I'd like to get a second brick. For those that keep track of things like price per brick, sales, etc, my question is this. Would I be better off purchasing a complete RIS set (~$199) or just another brick (~$130). My (...) (25 years ago, 17-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)
