| The scans are interesting, but I'm afraid there isn't much excitement robotics-wise. An interesting note: The serial number on one of the RCX bricks in the scans is 502273. The earliest serial number I can find is in my RCX 1.0 Constructopedia: (...) (25 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)

|
| Speaking of FP, leJOS supports floating point arithmetic, and it now has a java.lang.Math class with pow, sqrt, sin, cos, tan and atan. Brian Bagnall is working on atan2, asin, acos, etc. It's getting more and more complete. We're currently (...) (25 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)

| (...) Well, not exactly. I guess I should elaborate. These rations are commonly used for scaling results. Of course if you do the division in integer you get 3, but what if you had an intermediate result that was 32 bits long. That's how Forth (...) (25 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)

| 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 (...) (25 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)

| (...) Bah! We don't need no stinkin floating point. Here are a few approximations to real and transcendental numbers that you can make by dividing signed integers - the error is gennerally less that 1 in 1,000,000 pi 355 /113 sqrt(2) 19601 / 13860 e (...)
