I've been offered a cybermaster set quite cheap (~$100). Is it worth it, or should I save my efforts for RIS? Also, what actually comes in the cybermaster set? Scott A (26 years ago, 5-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.cybermaster)

I just saw Cybermaster on sale in Migros stores in Switzerland for 149 CHF (about 90$ and half the normal price). I have already a RIS. Beside the cybermaster unit itself, is the buy worthwhile for other parts ? Lorenzo Zago (26 years ago, 28-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.cybermaster)
