(...) Hi Steve, yeah, sorry, I wasn't inferring that lugnet.robotics has insiders or anything like that. It just seemed obvious to me that SOMEBODY should make the list (I hope!). Anyway, as you said, we'll find out soon enough! -aps (19 years ago, 6-Feb-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Nice idea, but two questions: How many GBC modules used an RCX? And how many of those RCXs had a free sensor port? Of course for next year's NXT-based GBC, with proper programming, a single BlueTooth cell-phone could turn off the 10% of the (...) (19 years ago, 5-Feb-06, to lugnet.robotics)

Hi, I think as a name XT sounds cool. That gives XTOS for an operating systems and my favourite XTC for a C like programming language (you have to say it out loud a few times). Seems to work OK with Java and Fourth. Thomas (19 years ago, 5-Feb-06, to lugnet.robotics, FTX)
