“The constructopedia by the way is a very well done booklet that fully details building three introductory robot models plus some additional suggestions. The CD-Rom contains a further eight or so models, but in far less detail and these require some Technics building... More experience.”

BrickEconomy Expert Review
“The LEGO Robotics Invention System (RIS) impresses with its substantial 718-piece assortment, ensuring ample building opportunities beyond the provided models. The constructopedia and CD-Rom offer a good mix of introductory and more complex models, catering to a range of building skills. The compartmentalized box enhances the sorting experience. The standout feature is the RCX programming environment, which is user-friendly yet sophisticated, making advanced concepts accessible through intuitive graphical blocks.”
