(...) I think there are 3 options: 1) IR 2) 1 sensor line for each robot (my [touch sensor/motor] connected to your port) 3) A single sensor line (both robot sensor ports connected together) This is the same as option 2, but when a robot signals End (...)

Hi guys, I've put together an initial draft of the rtlToronto15a/b rules for the event on January 31, 2004: (URL) are two games: 1. Connect Four 2. Marble Sorting The latter is pretty much DaveK's deal. I've basically taken his previous post of (...) (21 years ago, 30-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) You can definitely do it with BrickOS and lejos. I don't know about BrickOS, but the I believe the default stack in lejos is 10 deep. However you can rebuild it with a larger stack if nessisary. Derek (21 years ago, 30-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Your shift key is broken. (...) You can't do recursion with any languages using the standard LEGO firmware. The firmware's subroutine support is very limited. You may be able to do it with BrickOS or leJOS. (21 years ago, 30-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

OK. 2 things. A. I've slightly modified the name of the connect four suggestion from Steve FROm C4 to C$ the $ (pronounced string) character reminds me of the glory days of programing in commodore basic. and 2. how do you program recursive in lego (...)

(...) That's what I thought. To keep things simple for the user, you can get rid of the outer set of buttons because those are really only appropriate when you have a joystick-type interface and the latency between the user and the robot isn't so (...)

(...) Don't worry about it--It's a relatively small layout, so you might want to save the effort of bringing down such equipment. One of these days, we'll find a small board mount colour CCD and build it nice into a train with proper shielding. (...) (21 years ago, 29-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Does anyone want me to bring my video transmitter to run on the layout? I can build a nicer car for it this time, and I have a few ideas to minimise interference from the motors.
