How 'bout a layout with:
1. RCX-controlled level crossing.
2. RCX line follower whose path goes through the level crossing.
3. RCX-controlled train with a few tipper cars.
4. Soccer ball mine with an RCX-run loader that puts balls in the cars.
5. RCX-controlled dump station that empties the tippers.
There are some non-trivial problems in this project, which should make it
interesting for the display. But, a lot of the work on the sub-projects
can be done independently. And the line follower and/or level crossing
could be dropped without much damage if there's not enough horsepower to do
everything.
I have some doubts about the feasibility of coordinating the RCXs. Anybody
got experience getting them to communicate with one another?
