Scout (Lego)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Scout was like the RCX a "programmable Lego brick " and part of the Lego sets 'Robotics Discovery System' (RDS). Special functions can be programmed on the Scout itself using the LCD and buttons. The RDS does not contain any software, but it is possible to create your own program using the Scout SDK (see web links) or the NQC programming language. The IR tower of the Lego RCX system is required to transfer the program to the Scout . The Scout can also be controlled with the RCX remote control. The Scout has a VLL interface .

The RDS was briefly available in Germany via Lego's own mail order business.
