pardon my newbie-ness. i am researching mindstorms, as i am getting
myself a set for xmas. now i am confused about the fact everyone seems
to want RIS with the v 1.0 RCX. is this true? i guess i am just
caught up in the details and new (to me) acronyms and names. i will
make the assumption the RIS is the prefered set to have.
i am looking to use nqc and maybe legOS. will these work with 1.5?
i saw the post about buying the 1.0 set and upgrading to 1.5 and getting
lots more pieces and stuff. that sounds good, but it brings me back to
the question of do i want 1.5? does it work with nqc? legOS?
and how the heck does "scout" fit into all this?!
is there a faq!? a chart!? good lord, i am just buying legos!!
(pant pant) haha
calming down. thanks!

Having '1' upgraded, gives you the best of both (...) (25 years ago, 11-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
