 | | Save the RIS!

This may be a childish and stupid idea, but given the present news and rumors on how the RIS system is heading, I'd like to see how many RIS & RCX enthusiasts there are. Maybe if there are enough of us out there, we could sway LEGOs mind from (...) (22 years ago, 29-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

From all the posts I've gotten so far, this is a very sad day for lego...... Maybe in a few years, Lego will come to its senses and start off a new supercharged RIS 3.0. that will have a built-in, slimmer, lighter, rechargable battery, with more (...)

Ok, I haven't been around for a little while and I haven't seen any news at all about this, so I'm going to ask my fellow members: What's happening to the RIS?? The last update, 2.0, was not even close to being an update, all there was was some (...) (22 years ago, 28-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Interesting idea. The idea of a pullback car is that you provide the energy, and store it in a spring. How about a "real" pullback car that works like this: The drive motor would be used as a generator during pullback, to charge a capacitor. You (...) (22 years ago, 26-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hello, I've just had an crazy but simple idea a few days back. I was looking at all the pullback cars from LEGO in the shop, and it strikes me that the only thing that pullback motor does is to first "charge" the motor (spring) with energy and then (...)

A question from germany (sorry for my bad english).

I have tried to get proximity dectection via RCX emitting IR (SendMessage/NQC) and Light Sensor (mounted on top of the RCX's IR unit).
