In any case, wonderful models! I’d think that this kind of thing must be a
real attention-grabber at displays and shows. Bravo!

Well, the only limit I see is from the power of the RCX and/or its number of
outputs. You can easely modify the programm, by example in order to add sensors
or outputs to control 3 or more cows. For my part, I have only two micromotors,
so... And of course, if you use two outputs for two cows, they can be
desynchronized. For the power, I used 1 (NQC) (the minimum to move the heads)
but you can increase the speed. But as my two cows are together, they can have
exactly the same movement.

Those are great! One way you could make the motion a little different is to
change the gearing on one of them to a different gear ratio and for an added
bonus, add another cow in the back of those facing a different direction and
make his head go up and down instead of left and right.
Again, great work!
