(...) Well, IMHO, discussion of reviews relates directly to reviews -- more commentary basically expands upon the review. So it should probably stay in .reviews, unless the thread drifts too much. (26 years ago, 8-Oct-98, to lugnet.build)

I wonder if reviews should have their follow-ups set to lugnet.build (or lugnet.robotics, as appropriate) Or if discussions about reviews should happen here?

Not anything profound here, but just a musing: Next time I build a robot, I'm going to make it so the RCX and sensors are easily removed, so I can leave the basic design together and yet move the brain to another creation. (26 years ago, 7-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.build)

Be careful of the power output. Assuming you're here in the US, and depending upon the band, the FCC will only let you put out up to 100mW on domestic frequencies. Citizens' band is 4W. Just about everything else requires a license. I'm assuming (...) (26 years ago, 7-Oct-98, to lugnet.build)
