 | | Lego competitions just like Robotica?
|
|

Hi Dave, I can answer your second question. You can't find it anywhere, except of RIS 1.0 and RIS 1.5 CD-ROM. But you can't use anyway. The Spirit.OCX is for use with serial IR-tower !ONLY! But there is an alternative, the GhostAPI. This should work (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics)
