If we could duplicate the firmware's functions for "the standard" and
create a "super set" on top of it for other functions we could really make
the RCX a powerful beast. Picture this...
Firmware with options when installing it. Do you want Datalog? Do you want
MORE variables? How about arrays? Networking? Make a system that you could
choose options for the finite resources tailored to your projects needs...
This would be great... You could also make the RCX have better I/O with
other RCX bricks. Network them as it were... Add new sensor types and
modes...
If you made a system compatible with the masses but with the ability to add
needed features in an open source type. The sky would be the limit...
