I use to work at a place called SuperCircuits.com. It was a few years back, but they sold some transmitters that were the size of quarters and did like 500ft on 900mhz. I have a quick quick question while I'm talking....is 189.00 the price for a (...) (23 years ago, 20-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics)

I see around here, people are playing around with diffrent types of things to put on the RCX output port. Like not orginal lights, motors, bells and so on. Some even puts several motors on one port.

I think what you want is a 4-wheel-steering car; or better yet, a tricycle - one motor for drive, one motor for steer. If you don't want to paint your ceiling, stand the RCX up with the IR port to the sky and you're set. 4WS wouldn't be as easy and (...) (23 years ago, 19-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics)
