  Re: LEGO MindStroms 2.0: Alternative transmission techniques
 
I have seen IR-to-RF converters for sale. They are been used for remote control of any TV/VCR units without having the line of sight from the TV/VCR-remote controller to the unit. It is working like this; the remote controller sends a IR signal to (...) (23 years ago, 20-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics)

When I set the output to STOP mode, motor have a brake against moving, when I set output on FLOAT motor can "coast". Ok, until now, But, electrically, how what is the difference ? i mean, if I set in STOP it seems that the motor is connected (...) (23 years ago, 20-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Well, there are MANY difficult problems here. 1) Communications. The RCX uses IR - which is pretty much line-of-sight only - so as soon as your robot drives under a table or around a corner, it'll have to navigate by itself, record all the (...) (23 years ago, 19-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Thinner Diff (was: something i said?)
