My remote control suddenly stopped working yesterday, and I immediately replaced the batteries, but that does not appear to have been the problem. What is the failure mode of these devices? Can the ir "bulb" burn out? If so, can it be replaced? Is (...) (25 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)

I've also notice NQC codes are much smaller in comparision to RCX. I think the speed and size have to do with the fact that RCX are generated generic codes (very inefficient). (...) (25 years ago, 4-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)
