Wow! You're not kidding. I thought my $40 designs were a bit over the top (1/3 cost of basic RCX) but $128 is crazy. If people really are going to pay these prices, then maybe we should make lego specific devices more accessible. How much interest (...) (25 years ago, 28-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)

RE: DCP Lab sensors. Is this another standard or based on pin-outs from Vernier/Pasco? It sounds like the "DCP" term is common. Can anyone help in terms of the mode of operation of the adapter or the pin-outs? Thanks Tony Pugatschew (25 years ago, 30-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)
