(...) 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)

(...) Instead of using a particular program slot, just have everyone listen for a specific message at the beginning of their code. Obviously NQC supports standard RCX messages, and I know BrickOS does as well. If someone wants to be a pain and use (...) (20 years ago, 7-Jul-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Well what used to be a reasonably priced, $3.99, 9 compartment PLANO like storage container from IKEA, is now an over priced, $6.99 waste of money. I liked the GLIS storage containers and at $3.99 they were a great deal, and quite useful. Sometime (...) (20 years ago, 6-Jul-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) As long as the message is in a standardized form that can easily be understood by all OSs used by members of RTL, then this would work. Declaring Program 1 doesn't work because different OSs have different interpretations of what a program is. (...) (20 years ago, 6-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. Mandate that everyone must use a common program slot for their running program (ie, Program 1). (...) Did you ask for more homework in (...) (20 years ago, 6-Jul-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) 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)

(...) You should check to make sure your light sensor is in fact changing more than 5 counts. Start by changing the above code to 2 or 3. I don't recall with NQC, but with some languages (BrickOS) the values are backwards, so you may need to check (...) (20 years ago, 5-Jul-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
