(...) There's no fault involved from my perspective. The idea is to have fun. You can't do that without some sort of risk (at least I've never experienced 'fun' without some risk). The problem comes when people mix emotion/ego with curiosity. Very (...) (22 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics)

Ah, I do suspect that my data was a little out of date. However the information I see ((URL) Word ".doc" file, or (URL) ) list the housefly at 10^5 or 100,000, to 10^6 or 1 million neurons. This is a little bigger than "400 neurons." In fact the (...) (22 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) That was true 20 years ago. A housefly's brain contains just 400 neurons. Your PC can easily simulate a 400 neuron neural network at faster update rates than biological neurons. The problem isn't the raw computational power. ---...--- Steve (...) (22 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Symmetry is when something 'balances', it's a kind of equilibrium. Let's look at a six legged walker for a moment and see what sort of symmetry it has. First off we have six legs and many of them (at least three in the right location) must (...) (22 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics)

| | Strange BrickOS Timing
|

Hello out there, maybe someone can explain to me why the current brickOS release seems to have msleep()-amnesia ;-) We've been testing the data transfer to our Lepomux device. For some strange reason we were still using kernel 0.2.6.07nmChg with a (...) (22 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Hi Sebastian, (...) I don't know the schematics of that sensor interface, but I think it's basically a bad idea to drive a device that needs 30 to 50 mA from a powersource that can only output about 10 mA. I've experienced similar effects while (...) (22 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
