Liz,

I wouldn't make any quick decisions yet - I'm not getting rid of my RIS 1.5
because I'm finding there are already 3rd party products being developed
(www.hitechnic.com) that will allow the RCX and the NXT to communicate and
will also allow the RIS sensors and motors to be used by the NXT.

One thing to consider is that as the RIS gets more difficult to find, there
may be a demand for them from collectors and/or those who wish to build
combo RIS/NXT bots.  You may have a nice eBay offering right there that
could finance some NXT purchases!

As for competitions, there is some discussion going on about NXT versus
RIS... it's not really debate because we have no information to base a true
comparison on... only after the first FLL competitions start reporting in
will we see if the 2 systems are on uneven footing.

Wow... 20 RIS!  I wish I had been able to study this stuff when I was in
school... 

Jim
