Well, I am one of the people who has stayed away from them despite following
this and other lugnet groups, and having several RCX's (and DSDK, DDK).
There just isn't the great pile of technical info (though I admit I haven't
seen Ralph's book) that can be had on the RCX. I got a look at one the
other day, and I still didn't feel like I should get some. But the bottom
line is that you really can only "drive around". You can't "drive around
and do" something. Two motor outputs aren't enough, and even these are
fixed to the batteries and controller, limiting building options.
I want LEGO to be modular, but they seem to be driving toward these
monolithic blobs with decoration.
On the plus side, the fact that they can be made to work with the RCX stuff,
that they have compatible software (and the 3rd party stuff works) is a big
plus and much better than the DSDK/DDK blobs.
