| (...) I'm guessing the user base outside Japan must be tiny. But for what it is worth, I've purchased two pocket stations on ebay after reading your post ;-) (one of them for my younger brother). I'm mostly looking forward to do some micro-scout (...) (22 years ago, 13-Mar-03, to lugnet.robotics.microscout)

| | | | Microscout and IR
|
| I was reading stuff about the Microscout that said it's light sensor would not pick up IR light; however, I decided to try it out for myself. Using mode 3 (as the easiest one to check), I started it running, and then pointed the remote from my DVD (...) (23 years ago, 21-May-02, to lugnet.robotics.microscout)

|
| Hmm... Well, you could try www.mindstorms.com (or whatever it is) and look fo the configuration. I remember looking around that side and seeing some diagrams and shematics. I have that set too, and I have no intentions of taking it apart (lucily) (...) (23 years ago, 16-May-02, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.microscout)

I opened one of mine and fear restrained me from entering too far. The battery connections are direct to the PC (...) (23 years ago, 11-May-02, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.microscout)
| | | | Microscout assembly?
|
| One day, while there was nothing to do, I took apart my Microscout (came with the R2D2 droid development kit, or whatever). I had no idea how the motor assembly was connected to the rest of the unit, so this was probably a bad idea. Anyway, I took (...)

| | | | The MicroScout's Script mode is VERY disapointing...
|
| I wrote a very small message to VLL converter with the Scout so that I could play around with my 3 MicroScouts. The direct actions are useful but the script mode is pointless. WHY O WHY did LEGO make it play a stupid song BEFORE each motor action??? (...) (23 years ago, 5-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.microscout, lugnet.robotics.scout, lugnet.robotics.vll)
