Hi everyone I'm just wondering if anybody is willing to post there times? Is 40 seconds still the fastest? Wow that's fast! I can't seem to get the accuracy down. I refuse to use touch sensors too. Phil :) see ya next weekend! (23 years ago, 14-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) As one who made it a self-imposed design condition to exclude active sensors (and multiple RCX's, and - where possible - anything made after 1975) I am truely insulted. Having said that, I too have hit a wall. After almost 8 weeks of almost (...) (23 years ago, 14-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

So, it took me a while, and I THINK, I MIGHT have solved the stupid rcx crash thing. My code has a wait until command. it is peppered throughout the code and it is a simple way for me to wait until BOTH the X and the Y are in position before i do a (...)

So I have revamped Runamok 'Bot with 40 tooth gears for a great speed increase. And the rotation sensors are still accurate at this increased speed. Now, however, the light sensor misses--could be the codeing or the light conditions in my room--so (...) (23 years ago, 13-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
