Besides the RIS, Lego makes two other robotics systems- the CyberMaster (available only in Europe) and the Scout. Unfortunately, I believe that only one of these tools (NQC, discussed in <xref linkend="nqc">) will work with these other tools. Generally speaking, if you are considering buying a Scout, unless you are severely financially restrained, go ahead and buy an RCX- the additional investment is worth it.

<title>Mindstorms Vision Command</title>
<para>
The <ulink url="http://mindstorms.lego.com/products/vision/index.asp">Vision Command</ulink> kit is a new addition to the Mindstorms line that uses a USB camera to do some cool stuff. Unfortunately, because USB camera support (in particular, USB Quickcam support) is still shaky under Linux, the product is not yet supported under Linux. If you want to look into hacking it yourself, you may want to look at <ulink url="http://hotswap.in.tum.de/~acher/quickcam/quickcam.html">this page</ulink> which has a driver for a similar Quickcam.

<title>Description</title>
<para>
Both of these libraries are (theoretically) cross-platform Java libraries that send signals that can be used to remotely control an RCX that is using the original firmware. Neither have been tested with Linux, and neither are even in active development, but they may be useful sources for someone, which is why I've included them here.
