  3T
 
Well, I've had some time on my hands, and being totally unhappy with my 3T robot I decided a re-build was in order. Probably an 85% - 90% rebuild. About the only thing that wasn't touched was my cube magazine & the dropper mechanism. Everything else (...) (19 years ago, 3-Mar-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

I'm not sure about the RCX, but with some languages, things like events, or other tasks, will not start executing until the current task gives up the processor.

(...) I ran mine last night at a "family science night" for a school. Big hit, although I *absolutely* need error checking in my code (playing against a robot is easy - playing against a 5-year-old, with a couple of 4-year-olds constantly hitting (...)

(...) Actually, John, I think I may be able to explain the problem. You have two tasks running at the same time. For the most part, the processor will switch between the main task, and the scan tast. So, the order of execution would be something (...) (19 years ago, 3-Mar-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) as a mindscript guy, i cant say i've had this problem. i ~think~ the STOP TASK command stops the task at the END of that task. not mid task when the STOP was called.

  Re: 3T
 
(...) well, I sit corrected. I ran this VERY CRUDE program, and it would seem that a STOP TASK should stop the task mid task. feel free to mess with var x, to see it the resuts change. program generic { var a = 0 var b = 0 var c = 0 var d = 0 var e (...)
