I think I could actually increase the speed and still maintain the accuracy (to the top of single tooth). I'm quite pleased...although, I know only (...)

(...) Sure you do Bruce, Sure you have accuracy on your X axis. but you still have to build the Y axis and the EOAT. THEN you have to code it. then DEBUG it.

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)

(...) And what do you think keeps your code alive when you turn the RCX off? As for a stack problem, this would only happen when the RCX is executing your code. Whenever you download a program the memory is autmatically cleared. The stack idea is (...) (23 years ago, 13-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
