Thanks for that complete review, Hao-yang Wang,
for everyone who needs an image to figure what details he is talking about,
I have a good shot of the Remote that I uploaded a few months back when
visiting the GERMAN LEGO Truck that stopped nearby...

Too bad I don't have the set myslef yet. I am excited, Hao-yang, what is the
combined Manas model about to do and do you need both controllers to command
it? Are the building instructions included as for all the other Rahi sets?
Oh, yes, I am talking about this alternate Rahi, image found at:

It seems like the bottom motors are there to move and navigate and the upper
two must have some kind of grab function and what's that rubber-band near
the yellow Komau massks doing (it's a "spring-loaded" rubberband, right?).
The world needs to know...
THANKS!
Bye, Christian --- xTIAN.oO
