Hey all,
Found this for $45 at my local toy consignment shop and put it together. I
guess I can see the appeal but it's just lost on me. Too much time and
effort required for the setup before you get to actually move the vehicle
around (I know, I know, I'm impatient, but that's me!). I just wanted the
black gears and other Technic bits.
One thing they should've considered when putting the software together was
just a page on basic movement of the vehicle that would come up immediately
after the diagnostic test. Maybe I haven't dug through the program enough,
but it seems to me that this should've been the very first thing covered
after you've built the model. I guess they just assumed that people would
know what to do, and sometimes that kind of assumption just really annoys
me. IMHO, they should have put together a nice, simple manual instead of
that unwieldy fold-out poster. It's too busy graphically and the important
basic info is scattered all over the place.
I figured out how to steer the little bugger, but how do I activate the LED
"laser"? I thought it might be the red button (#2) but no dice. What do I
have to do? I bought the set mainly for parts as I'm not a code cruncher at
all, so please be light on the acronyms! I just want to tool it around my
apartment a bit and freak out my cat before I sell the body and remote to a
friend!

| (...) Dave, first, I hate to tell you, but the Lego outlets have Gigamesh for 40 bucks. From what I understand, the LED laser is "unlocked" when you have enough mission points to unlock the feature. The cable that came with your spybot plugs into (...)
