Have fun dude! Do you like it? I have ordered mine, my main goal is to use python. :D

I was surprised too when I friend of mine told me so. Things like bout the start time, that it had 3 sensors included instead of four, that the ev3rstorm robot didn't walk like alpha rex, and much more.

Oh yes. The new officially app which runs on windows, mac, ios and android has a build in python editor and with autocomplete. Quite handy. Regarding the breakpoint capability nope, doesn't have it to my findings. Personally I'm ok not having the other languages available yet. I'm very pleased they have python support out of the box with the integrated IDE. It will get attraction as the time goes by. People had complaints about EV3 once it was out but now is a great piece. I see no reason the RI won't have the same treatment by the community. I will get with the RI. It's quite capable. IMO it is the safe bet for now because it will only get better support and third parties as the time passes. If not there will be the EV3 there to buy. But we must not forget the hardware is 7 years old. We do need to move on at somepoint.

By saying debugging i meant to set breakpoints to your your code. :)

No i don't have any programs at all, The reason i said that is because we want to new the RI limitations, Right? I'm not sure I understand the question. Obviously we need to debug code. Since I'm new to this I am not familiar with all the inner workings. You mean better support because of the ev3dev toolkit? Having the EV3 with full linux inside it means we can install additional packages via ssh to the machine. Is it why you say it haas better support? About the long boot issue, how often do we need to restart the EV3? If it's the first time when we start doing things with it then it's ok, If it needs to restart every time we need to deploy something then yes it's an issue

Hey there!! I'm too between these two. I'm a python programmer and was really interested in what can I build with them simple or complex. Someone said you can't debug on the new brick which is a little bummer if you want to build something a little more complicated. You have to know what code fails as it's been executed by the robot. Also I believe I read somewhere that the ram situation of the new RI is worst that EV3's. People doing hackish things to make their (big) EV3's programs to work on the RI. Syncing code between your computer and the RI is wirelessly via bluetooth which is cool but maybe that is the reason why we can't debug on the brick. At what point would you consider the EV3 obsolete?? Arg it's frustrating. lol. Thanks!
