(...) I'm very skeptical about this... Last week I was in LegoLand at Billund, Denmark. They are adding _more_ interactive Mindstorms exhibits, based on the Mars Lander. I also had meetings at Aarhus University with people who work in the Lego lab (...) (22 years ago, 4-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I' m agree, Mindstorms is a revolutionnary product and may be I am too negative. But there is less and less mindstorms additional box (like vision command).... I' m sure a new "robotic LEGO product" will appear..but when ??? Chris. (22 years ago, 4-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics)

It IS expensive, so that cuts into where it can be sold, it probably (...) (22 years ago, 4-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I think there are hints that the ROM can. IIRC, the Spybotic software allows you to set the IR to detect "some kind of thing at an unknown distance and direction". This is my interpretation of what the Spybotic GUI is telling me, not a verbal (...) (22 years ago, 4-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

(...) The Spybot hardware itself appears capable of simple proximity detection. Looking at outputs from the IR detector modules on an oscilloscope, I can see the Spybot's own pings. This includes the absence/presence of range sensing/ID bits due to (...) (22 years ago, 3-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

(...) I'm glad that you (and others) have found NQC to be useful. Most people don't use NQC for anything beyond compiling and downloading programs, but it has lots of options for interacting with the RCX (such as -datalog, -run, and -raw). Type "nqc (...)

John, (...) I tried to email this but AOL appears to be blocking me. Thanks for your offer of help. I've got the 2.5 SDK installed, and I'll download BricxCC as soon as Sourceforge comes back up. The .lsc file is for a robot I've built from the (...) (22 years ago, 2-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics)
