LEGO Mindstorms: Robotics Invention System (RIS) 2.0
The mission of LEGO Mindstorms is to inspire and empower kids to better realize their potential, develop self-confidence and problem-solving skills and to actively use technology to construct a deeper understanding of their own world. The Robotics Invention System (RIS) 2.0 give your child the opportunity to design and program real robots to do what he or she wants them to do. First, imagine a robot with the RCX microcomputer as its brain. Next, build the robot by adding LEGO specialty elements onto your RCS. Follow the LEGO building instructions provided, or use your own imagination. Then, use the RIS software on your PC to "build" a program for your model by placing a series of on-screen building block commands on top of each other. Next, with a click of the mouse, you instantly download your program from your PC to your RCX via the infrared transmitter. Finally, press the "run" button on your robot's RCS brain and watch it go! What are the new and improved features of the RIS 2.0? Well, the infrared tower now uses the USB port instead of the serial port. This allows for a faster download and eliminates the need for a "9V" battery in the tower. Also, the programming interface is simpler and more intuitive, especially for the first-time user. What's most exciting though, is the six new, pro-challenge models with on-screen building instructions that utilize all the capabilities of the upgraded RIS 2.0 set. Build an Art Bot which uses a pen to draw on a larger piece of paper, or the Candy Sorter which sorts M&Ms by color (dark/light) and a Robotic Arm. Set includes: RCX microcomputer, CD-ROM software, USB infrared transmitter, over 700 pieces (including two motors, two touch sensors and one light sensor), Constructopedia building instructions and six new pro-challenges. Requires 6 "AA" alkaline batteries (not included). Note: The RIS 2.0 is compatible with all models and programs written in/for RIS 1.0 and 1.5, and til interact with the new 2.0 set.System Requirements:Windows 98/ME, Pentium II 233MHz processor, 32MB RAM, 70MB hard disk space, Windows 98 compatible mouse, SoundBlaster 16 (Windows compatible sound device), 8X CD-ROM, video display 800 x 600 SVGA with 1MB RAM, 16-bit mode, one available USB port for infrared transmitter
