Since observing these Lego email broadcasts, I've been wondering what Forth was. Engineering background, not CS! Now I know, after reading Ralph Hempel's "RE: Mindstorms/reinforcement learning". Very cryptic by the looks! Why not use honest to (...) (26 years ago, 13-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

|

(...) There are a couple of reasons to choose pbFORTH over raw assembler... 1. Assembler requires an assembler, which means downloading and configuring the GNU tools on eiher Linux or Cygwin for Win9x. Not for the faint of heart. 2. Once you get (...)

I can offer some suggestions. Part of the fun of Lego MindStorms is figuring things out on one's own ... but a few hints probably won't hurt. Because the light sensor is particularly sensitive to infrared (IR), you should be able to use it to locate (...) (26 years ago, 13-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
