I don't know how many of you have ever played Laser Tag before, but
basically you have a laser enabled gun that fires infrared light at

How I got from that to the Mindstorms RCX, I'll never know.  However,

the laser tag system, using purely LEGO RCX "intelligent" bricks.  It
depends on some software I have written to be usable (unless you use the
Messages window in BricxCC or the NQC command line).  This will all be
available under the GNU GPL shortly.

What does anyone think of the idea (other than mad)?
