| | Control six Micro Scouts with a fiber optic module?

I had this really sick idea last night, and I thought I'd throw it out for discussion. In theory, you could control up to six Micro Scouts or Code Pilots using two motor outputs and one sensor input. Each of the six fiber optic cables from the fiber (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.microscout, lugnet.robotics.codepilot)

Ok, I bought the DDK before I knew what was up. Since, I have both the RDS and the RIS, so I made up for it :) My question: I built the Tribot (actually 2, on with the Scout, one with the RCX) and programmed it with the new NQC beta with scout (...)

(...) Hey, wow! It turns out that the thin portions of the FO cables are the same thickness (or virtually the same, for all practical purposes) as the inside components of LEGO TECHNIC Flex System cables! In other words, not only do they fit nicely (...) (25 years ago, 1-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.scout, lugnet.robotics.microscout, lugnet.technic)

BTW, that's 8735, not 8375, hehe. I'm full of mistakes lately, huh? Oh, and I've decided to get 8444 Air Enforcer for its special pieces, the allure of a new set and instructions to toy with, and the Flex System which I've never had yet. Dan Huber (...)

Well, I give my thanks to you guys for sharing your honest opinion of a set. I was a bit leery of getting this set as the elements are all built-in and you are not able to rearrange anything to your liking. I've decided that for my money, I'm best (...)

An observation... It is well-documented that the Scout can communicate with the Micro Scout using its red-light emmiter. The optic fibers transmit light quite well for this purpose with one drawback - only one end of the fiber has a connector. I've (...)

The Droid developer kit certainly isnt worth it if you are a avid mindstorms user. It is desinged for younger children (officaly 9-12, but some 7 or 8 year old could do fine with it). For this it is a perfect set, easy to use and build but (...) (25 years ago, 26-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.microscout)

(...) The DDK is very disappointing. In my mind it marks a low-point in LEGO's consumer understanding - and the "Mindstorms" branding. The expansion sets were over-priced and under-delivered on their (our) expectations for the RIS, but the DDK is (...) (25 years ago, 26-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.microscout)
