(...) Welcome to the world of LEGO robotics! You don't need to program the RCX to use it with the MindStorms remote, but you do need to download the firmware into the RCX before it will recognize the remote commands. When you first take the RCX out (...) (22 years ago, 17-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics, FTX)

I'm new to the RCX Lego world and robotics. Can I use the remote control unit item# 9738 with the Electric Mindstorms RCX unit item # 884 without any computer programming? Will they work together out of the box? Can the RCX unit be completely (...) (22 years ago, 17-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)

I'm using Robolab 2.5 and am running out of containers. I only need about 18 or so states, and I need as many as possible containers. I know in some languages like NQC you can store bits and bytes in containers when you only need a few states, but (...) (22 years ago, 17-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)
