Hmmm. Anybody else out there thinking that there might not actually be a Slave I set for 2000? I'd love to see it, but it just doesn't seem to jive in my head as something that LEGO would do. Here are some of my thoughts: Slave I has very little (...) (26 years ago, 12-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)

I don't think that NQC by itself will handle your needs. I am not an AI expert (pretty much skipped all AI classes in college), but I expect that would need a decent amount of memory to remember which behaviors have been reinforced. NQC works on top (...)

Has anyone thought of building a true OS (or replacement firmware) based on LegOS? As I understand it, LegOS isn't actually an OS at all, but rather is a source code library. I guess that's the benefit of pbForth which is actually a true firmware (...) (26 years ago, 12-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
