Hey guys- One more thing; I hope that none of y'all have any beef with me about my laziness thing. It's also one of my bad habits which I've been told by a friend that I have to change. I guess it's true what they say, "Old habits die hard." One (...) (21 years ago, 27-Aug-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Hey guys- Just to be on the level, I won't be able to build a physical model until I move into our new house (possibly next year). (21 years ago, 27-Aug-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Hey, V. I have a quick suggestion for you. Before you go out and spend the money for a new RCX just for this project, you may want to build up some of the other pieces, and see if you can get them to work. For example, tie together your 20 (...) (21 years ago, 26-Aug-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I forgot to mention... We do this for FUN. We do this to see different approaches to the same problem. The contest simply gives us a common goal and a time deadline. Winning, and for that matter losing, are really not what we're about. (21 years ago, 26-Aug-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Chris- So I have to use two touch sensors and two light sensors to operate four motors (I read in an earlier message that to control four motors, one has to use two RCX bricks). When using the light sensors, what should I do? (21 years ago, 26-Aug-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

People- This joystick controller idea is for a mammoth crane (Demag AC 500-1 SSL, for more info check out the Terex-Demag website, look under literature, and click on the Demag AC 500-1).
