   Are you using BrickOS?

Yes - it is my operating system of choice now. Of course, I still have some stuff in NQC, but anything new is BrickOS and database...I am sure I will run into something that I actually have to code eventually.

  


On other ChiBots issues, making a pure-LEGO sumo that’s under 500 grams and fits in a 10 cm x 10 cm footprint is... interesting. The RCX is 10 cm long all by itself.

Since I have limited time available to me, I am not pursuing mini-sumo right now.

I just bought 2 more light sensors and will probably get one or 2 more this week. However, I am not building them into the middle of my robots so I can swap them easily.

On an unrelated note, you will be happy to “not hear” Drooling Duck in Chicago. It will be there, but I made a small modification that keeps the balls from clanking around :)

And even then, it still looses the line on rare occassions (...) (19 years ago, 23-Oct-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc, FTX)
