What specifically do you have in mind? The limitation is going to be
from the firmware bytecodes...no floating point, no transcendentals, no
math larger than 16 bits.
Switching over to legOS would give you floating point, but still no
transcendentals.

| Absolutely! You'd be amazed at what can be done with 16 bit integer arithmetic if you operate at some suitable scale factor, depending upon the requirements - x10, x100, x16, x256. It depends on the ease with which you can shift and/or divide. As (...) (24 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)
