Hi
I read a mail a few weeks back about a minimum JVM
implementation for the RCX. I am doing some reearch
into CORBA for Embedded Systems and was wondering if
anyone has any thoughts / exposure as to the RCX's
suitability ....

On LOW power I've found the RCX hardly reads any signals at all. You must be
very close to the tower/other RCX to read it. (V Cool) On HIGH though I can
bounce the signal down the hall and it still reaches my bot.
I'm only using the RCX codes though 1-255
