(...) Anyone have any idea whether this set will be sold in Australia? I was kind of expecting it to be sold here as it's really a starter set for the new remote and motors. If it's not, we miss out entirely on the new items. Thanks (17 years ago, 13-Aug-07, to lugnet.technic)

Some very well done modules Kevin. I really like the "Wave" module. It moves quickly enough to make it more interesting than a slower set of steps. Bryan (17 years ago, 5-Aug-07, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic, FTX)

Just a guess, but maybe you've run into a memory limit in the device such that once x many commands are stored it ignores all commands after that. I don't own one of these, so if you're feeling up to it, you could take yours apart to see what kind (...) (17 years ago, 27-Jul-07, to lugnet.technic)

Hi, I've been building the 8094 models recently with my 8485 (and spares.) Then I realized that the 8094's original plotter model really sucks: you can't really memorize a pattern to let the machine write for you since the pen needs to be lifted and (...)
