Assuming it doesn't all wind up in a drawer collecting dust, the RCX is definitely worth the extra money. Plus you get a lot more than just the RCX when you buy RIS 1.5. For one thing you get the IR tower, which is pretty much an essential add-on (...) (26 years ago, 8-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics.scout)
