I purchased mine today too, and am very impressed also with the selection of parts! I didn't know it would have so many parts I don't.

Hi, everyone. I just received my 8293 PF Package today. :D I just tore into it and it looks pretty promising that I may motorize my 8051, because the Battery box isn't as big as I expected. ;) As long as Lego keeps sending me emails and magazines about their products, I'll keep spending my money on ...

"The NXT and RCX systems can also work together, so if you could also get an NXT, you could have a really awesome setup. All those RCX items combined have MANY parts that would be very useful to have with an NXT."




Yeah, like Haydenstudios.

OK! Thanks. I am considering getting that one!

How do you turn the battery box's power on and off? As far as I can see, there isn't a button.

Well, think of a mAh (milliamp Hour) of a unit of power capacity. The more units you have, the longer you can provide power. OK, now say you are using a motor that draws 150mA when driving a small motor cycle. If your battery has a capacity of 300mAh, it will theoretically power your motor for 300 ...

That does not sound good! What exactly does that mean? The battery life?

Woops! I meant to post the link! Here it is: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?S=5391-1

Thanks. Okay, I picked the one I would like to use, but I wasn't sure if it will power all of the following PF items:
2 M-Motors
1 Set of Lights
1 IR Receiver
1 Control Switch
