(...) Wow! I'm glad there is another monkey in the works! It sounds like you are taking an entirely different approach than me. If you really need another RCX, I can lend you mine. My monkey doesn't need an RCX at all. I just use a battery box (...) (23 years ago, 21-Aug-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I'm really not sure about this..... I'd like a bit of input from the group on this. Seriously. this all started as an RCX event. its the reason we own them. would it be fair to enter a battery box robot?? should Rob be forced to use the rcx (...)

(...) Well, I am. I see no reason at all why I shouldn't be able to use a dumb battery box. Its a six aa box, so the weight should be essentially the same as an RCX. I say if anything I am giving myself a disadvatage, because my robot will not have (...) (23 years ago, 22-Aug-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I agree with Rob-I don't see any reason why Rob CAN'T enter a 0 RCX model. We only say as many RCXs as you want, and zero I think is a valid number. (...) I would like to enter a pretty shape making turtle robot too. Calum (23 years ago, 22-Aug-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I don't really like doing "me too" posts, but you are right there isn't any rules that say, RCX has to be used.... it does say however, that alternate processing methods cannot be used... IE scout, mini-scouts, etc. (Multiple RCX's are (...) (23 years ago, 22-Aug-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Well, if we're getting technical about the rules, shoot, sure, go ahead and use zero RCXes. Mind you, I took the following quote from the site: "At the the beginning of each round, both robots will be started via IR remote control so as not (...)

well, I'll give it one more day BUT it looks like from the VAST and over overwhelming replies to this thread that 90% of the train people think that its OK to use zero RCX's. if the microprocessor rule is going to be changed then I'd like to also (...)
