When using LegOS (a most excellent creation, btw) is it possible to store a value and use it in different programs? Actually, I'm sure it is, but how would someone do it? I want to have one program to configure my light sensor, and use those values (...) (24 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Well, since a perfect vacuum has never (AFAIK) been shown to exist anyware (even in space), I guess you're right. However a partial vacuum is easy to "store" and (...)

(...) Argh! <rant> It's been a long time since domestic lightbulbs were even partially evacuated - these days they are filled with some kind of relatively inert gas. Back in the 1940's and 50's they were partially evacuated - and on some old movies (...) (24 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I think the reason for that is simply that you can't store very much "vacuum" in a tank. While you can pressurize a tank to several hundred PSI or better, for vacuum you're limited to completely (well, OK, nearly completely) evacuating it--a (...) (24 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Somehow I'm a bit queasy about this business of "storing vacuum" in a tank. So I checked with the local supplier of industrial gases. If you need a tank of compressed air, that's no problem.

It's basically non-functional now, so if you know of an event, drop me an email or post it here and I'll (...) (24 years ago, 19-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics)
