I think that you should not immediately discount the idea of nueral networks
in the RCX. Bert van Dam has done amazing stuff with networks on the RCX,
and using no PC code.
The point of the RCX is to try, learn, and invernt, not to say that it is
impossible.

| Hi! Sorry I missed out on the discussion... hope this is not too late to be of some use. I have to agree with Andy here. This type of thing is doable- not easy, but doable. I've implemented some fairly substantial reinforcement learning algorithms (...) (24 years ago, 6-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics)
