I bought CyberMaster instead of RIS (although I plan to buy a RIS this
Xmas) mainly because of the radio link (well and the price, too).
My initial projects dealt with PC processing and sending remote commands to
the robot, so the radio link seemed better than the IR-link.
So the CyberMaster is well suited for wide-range mobile robots (rovers?)
with "limited" self-logic (less RAM than RCX) or with the PC doing all the
logic and sending over the radio-link the actions to be taken. Some
projects will have a mix of the two: PC doing the main procs and the bot
doing basic primary reaction to sensor related logic.
One example is my CyberMaster+WirelessCam+PC-robotic-vision project.
The "vision" processing will be done remotely (PC side) through PC
software, sending over radio the actions to the CyberMaster. A "local"
(pBrick side) basic task will handle basic/fast reactions to any touch
sensor signal, much like any normal wall avoider bot.
..now, if only X10 Europe had any of the XCam models :(
