(...) If you are really following a line then you should use a traditional line following algorithm rather than try to use motor synchronization and turn ratios. There isn't any reason to synchronize the motors since following a line usually (...) (17 years ago, 5-Dec-07, to lugnet.robotics)

I'm giving a demo on Saturday of the Trinity College Robot Fire Fighting contest. There are likely to be a lot of LEGO bot builders there (Fort Collins has one of the biggest FIRST LEGO League followings in the country). I'll be showing some videos (...) (17 years ago, 5-Dec-07, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Update: upon a couple more hours' testing, I found that the above command actually prevents the bot from turning at all. It will only turn if I pass at least RESET_BLOCK_COUNT for the last parameter (of course other combinations that include (...) (17 years ago, 4-Dec-07, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I've got some more info, but it doesn't seem to help. Searching on "Director Player" and "Virtual Memory" turns up tons of hits on other software, totally unrelated to the RCX.

At the very beginning, I could get the BlueSoleil (the software with an orange in the middle) connect to NXT, no problem. But it was no use, as long as Lego software can't find the bluetooth. But that was only at the beginning. I can't reproduce (...) (17 years ago, 4-Dec-07, to lugnet.robotics)

Hi Patty, I can't really answer this question other to say that I had exactly the same problem a while ago. I talked to LEGO tech support to no avail and they actually sent me a replacement block to fix the problem. However when I got it I had (...) (17 years ago, 3-Dec-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
