There is mention at the end of the page of the use of an RCX but not much
additional detail... John K. if you're on the list (or anyone else), can you
give details of what the RCX was doing? Was it serving basically as a remote

If it's a complex program (or even if not) it might be nifty to include a
link to the source on the page (which maybe I missed?)
Thanks!
Awesome crane...
