| | | (...) Right, but haven't you and your cohorts (Hi Brian!) been busily proving that there hasn't yet been a mechanism that NEEDED an RCX? Most of the GBC modules are (brilliantly, elegantly...) purely mechanical except for the train ball return, and (...) (20 years ago, 23-May-05, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| | | | | (...) Not having an RCX does not necesarily make it irrelevant to robotics. I consider automatons fairly relevant - and the technique of getting a single motor to do many things is a very valuable one, especially considering the IO limitations of (...)

| | | | | | (...) TOTALLY agree. Not saying it's not relevant to robotics, there is lots of clever mechanical stuff to be learned from GBC... Just saying it's somewhat in a different direction from leaving a bunch of identical RCX based autonomous mobile (...) (20 years ago, 23-May-05, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Again, it would be neat to include Spybotics as well - depending on the behaviour you are trying to get. (20 years ago, 23-May-05, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

It would require a dedicated space all fest, which is hard to come by, and people to coordinate/monitor it, as well as people to devise the standards (may be the same people). So (...)

Well, sort of... the robotic forklift I brought to HoB is currently the most complex module (that I *know* about) that requires an RCX, but there are some other options. A ball-sorting mechanism is (...) (20 years ago, 23-May-05, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.robotics.rcx)
