Just as a quick question, what do people have? I'm almost certain pretty
well everyone has at least 2 RCXes by now, right? And there's no excuse for
not having enough motors after the ZNAP clearance debacle :) Back when they
were $55 in a motor pack, but when they were like $7 each plus a donation to
the Calum Tsang ZNAP Bridge Building Fund, I think pretty well everyone
stocked up.
I have two RCXes, two uScouts and one Scout. As temping as $90 is, I can't
honestly see a challenge requiring more than six independent function motors
and sensor inputs. I mean, even a ProjectX^2 (100 cells) doesn't require
more than two RCXes. (unless you design like Chris does :) I suppose that
might be a good dinner topic: What games require more than two RCXes?
