(...) What about people who might attempt an RCX-less solution? ;) Personally I don’t see what the big deal is. If someone thinks that pressing a button on their RCX (or a battery box) will interfere with the take off, then let them come up with (...) (20 years ago, 7-Jul-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Ya, as long as we are clear what the IR message is then it won't be a problem for any of the OSs that support IR. The problem is some of them encode messages the same way the standard firmware does, while others are more raw about it. I guess (...) (20 years ago, 7-Jul-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I like this idea, because it guarentees that both robots will have their programs started at the same time.

(...) I asked a year ago, and was told it they tore it up. I was at Blue again last month and over conversation with an employee, was told they tore it up because of maintenance cost concerns. Calum (20 years ago, 6-Jul-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
