(...) Agreed. I was hoping for much, much more. Specificly, by this definition, I strongly doubt the claim that this is the "first ever" self-reproduction. Some of the mechanical models from a long time ago were similar in concept, but with a (...) (21 years ago, 13-Sep-05, to lugnet.robotics)

In a semi-followup to Steve's earlier "remote battery tester"... While the standard firmware provides almost no way to get bytes into the RCX (other than "Message()", one byte at a time), it can certainly export them ("SendSerial"). And it occured (...)

I can't seem to find a lugnet.robotics.otherbrand group, so I will ask here; Has anyone taken a VEX set for a test drive? I haven't, mainly 'cos of the cost versus what you seem to get for the money. Any comments would be welcome. FUT to somewhere (...) (21 years ago, 13-Sep-05, to lugnet.robotics)

You mention Bell - so that means Sympatico. Are you using their Access Manager software, or the thing built into XP (if you are using XP) for rPPPoE?

I saw some "white" click hinges in the local pick-a-brick. They seemed to have just a slight pinkish tinge. Is white being replaced? Was this just bad lighting? Bad quality control? White is on the list... (URL) Hafner www.hafhead.com (21 years ago, 12-Sep-05, to lugnet.color)

Hi all, Can anyone tell me if it is possible to use NQC to directly set bits in RCX registers? And if so, how does one do it? I've seen C code examples of this in a few places, but no NQC examples. Specifically, I want to turn on and off the red (...) (21 years ago, 12-Sep-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
