These are incredibly ingenious devices - and if you want to treat robot design like (...) (22 years ago, 30-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics)

| Unfortunately, it seems that TLC doesn't have a clear idea of what to do with Mindstorms in general. Their support for the whole line has been less than full - note the failure to update software for their cameras beyond Win98. I've been using the (...)

|
| Thanks for the reply, André. I've read that the IR emitters are "low-power". Does this mean the red LED on Spybot would have a longer range than the IR emitters if used in proximity detection?
