(...) Right, these are the two official expansions for Lego Mindstorms with the Mars Expedition on the way. That makes 3 total in 2 years. + Cybermaster This is a stand alone system, not Mindstorms. The rumored sets clearly say, "Mindstorm (...) (26 years ago, 14-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Another day, a different rumor ... www.theForce.net has this poll up: "What vehicle would you most like to see be made into a Lego set? (Not Mindstorms or Technic, remember Falcon, Slave-I, Skiff, A-Wing, AAT, MTT, and B-Wing are coming)." Ah, the (...) (26 years ago, 14-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | Rotaion Sensor Sampling Speed?
|
|
Hi all, I'm putting together a mazebot for Mindfest, and ran into a bit of a funny with the rotation sensor. I THINK it has to do with the sample speed, but I'm not positive. I'm using pbFORTH and sampling the rotation sensor in a tight loop. The (...) (26 years ago, 14-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I think there are some C to FORTH translators at www.forth.org, but the problem is you need to configure them to run on your CPU and then to output FORTH compatible with your target. Not an easy task. Why not just learn FORTH? I learned about (...) (26 years ago, 14-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

Ralph, I don't know about the specific issues with pbForth, but this summer I was working on a large gear train (for a problem that we have recently "proven" is computationally intractable for the RCX) and dropped about 20 counts out of every 1,000 (...)

(...) It depends... One solution is to let the motor float. Another and (I think) obvious solution is to gradually decrease the motor speed by calling SetMotorSpeed (or whatever you call that function) repeatedly with a decreasing speed value. Søren (26 years ago, 14-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Sure. But the person who got the leaked info might not know that. Early rumors for the R2D2 set called it a Mindstorms R2D2. Same thing, yeah? I'm not saying the rumor is accurate, just that where it says "Mindstorms", it might be fair to read (...) (26 years ago, 14-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
