I don't think so - I seem to remember seeing this somewhere before, built with a humble RCX 1.0/5. Actually, if you look closely, you'll see it contains 2 RCXs, one below the other on an angle. Not much chance of TLC including 2 with the set.... (...) (25 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.technic)

Oh, wow!! If that set is even half as good as it looks in the picture, that will be one set everyone will be scrambling to pick up!!

Take a look at (URL). See the dog? Is it MIBO? If we can really build that dog out of the box, then RIS 2.0 might as well be the best Technic Universal set Lego has ever released.
