  Re: MOC: Radio Controlled Tank.
 
(...) Nice work Tobbe! For some reason it reminds me of the tank in the Tank Girl movie, a good feature if you ask me :-) I'm looking forward to seeing the mpegs. Where on earth did you get all the wide caterpillar tracks BTW? Getting that amount (...) (25 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Radio Controlled Tank.
 
(...) Thank you! (...) *think* Thread is perhaps a better word, I struggled a tad on that one. My ex. co-worker stole back her dictionary when she left, dang! *searching* Technica, which is a nomine for cool site of the week BTW, claims it's labeled (...)

  MOC: Radio Controlled Tank.
 
Hi. Here's a tank I made during the weekend, it has radio controll so beware LEGO purists ,) (URL) used a five channel radio, five servos, five polarity switches and five motors to make this work. It has two motors for drive, left and right track, (...) (25 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics) ! 
 
  Re: >>> RIS vs. RDS <<<
 
You can use NQC language in Scout, you can use touch and light sensor in Scout, I think it is better than RCX and similar with RCX2, except it only 2 input and output port and can't use rotation and temperature sensor. Zhengrong (...) (25 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Inventory for DDK?
 
I agree, you can use Scout with touch sensor, then light sensor, although there is no any official information about this, I tried, light sensor can be used in Scout. Zhengrong (...) (25 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Navigation
 
I hear that someone had done an intelligent navigation system (with path and motion planning) that can avoid hitting object by infer-red/ultrasonic sensors. I am very interested in this project. Could any one of you give me more information on that? (...) (25 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics)

  Java (was Ada)
 
I apologise if this has been discussed before ... but speaking of other languages ... What options do we have to do some real Java development for the RCX? I think there are two or three different implementations. I seem to remember TinyVm and leJOS (...) (25 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Inventory for DDK?
 
(...) RDS is priced at $68 in my local 'Frys' computer outlet. (On i20 just south of Arlington Texas). Now that the Scout is programmable, I decided to get two RDS sets - and I'm tempted to get more. Techniques to give instructions to multiple (...) (25 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Ada
 
Hello all, Has anyone ever tried using Ada to program the RCX? Kev. (25 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Inventory for DDK?
 
(...) Have a look in lugnet.db.inv. I have uploaded inventory of DDK (9748) and DSDK (9754). Marc Klein (25 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  RE: Inventory for DDK?
 
I've never been compulsive enough (no offence anyone!) to inventory, but at 657 pieces it's 7.6 cents a piece, which in my book is a OK / good deal. Lot's of white.....I'm not sure I'd buy it just for parts, but if you had a RCX or a Scout and (...) (25 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Inventory for DDK?
 
Does anyone have an inventory of the 652 parts in the DDK? I looked over the obvious places on Lugnet to no avail. Is it worth it at $50? --Jack Gregory (25 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics)

  Re: RCX Blowed up?
 
(...) That's what I meant. Sigh. (...) Well does LEGO consider it proper to use the Train transformers? If not then what IS the best rating to be using for the RCX? Dean -- Coin-Op's For Sale!: (URL) Lego Workshop: (URL) Lego Club: (URL) (25 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: RCX Blowed up?
 
Lego never sold a power adapter for the RCX in the US. You can get one from the Dacta division, through Pitsco Lego Dacta. At one time it was physically different from the adapter found in the Trains sets. The current Dacta catalog shows one that (...) (25 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)

Online ordering is available. Go to (URL) then (...) (25 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)
