| Recommendation |
|
| To start off in robotics, you should really
get the RIS, now in version 2.0. The RCX is a full-fledge
programmable brick. The Scout which is used in the RDS has limited
programmability. The Micro Scout which is used in the DDK and DSDK
Star Wars is for all practical purposes, limited to preset programs
only. |
