I think the magnet idea also works better on the Canadian Loonie (dollar coin), then on the American dollar bill. Sorry - I couldn't resist. I once made a robot (before Mindstorms) that would play Tic-tac-toe using an electromagnet to pick up, and (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics)

Hi John, I agree that on an interupt-driven system, multitasking is very useful for problems that require precise timing. As soon as the problem occurs, an interupt is fired and the appropriate code handles the problem. But, as you noted, the RCX (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics)
