(...) I once tried to catch one of those rubber-tipped "arrows" in mid-air between my two hands, using a motion like clapping your hands. The problem is that I caught it sideways, with the rubber-tipped end pointing at one hand, and the thin end (...) (25 years ago, 17-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

|

Funny you should mention this because I just finished my "rough draft" syncro-drive bot. I found my turntables at www.brickbay.com for about $10 US each.

| | Palmpilot and RCX
|
|
Hi! Does anybody see a possibility to use the Palmpilots IR-Port with the RCX. I know that it is a IrDA-Port, but is it possible that the RCX understands IrDA or either way the Palm sends some RCX style commands? Any suggestions? Thanx! Sebastian (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) 1. There are actually a USB hub inside the CAM. Both the logitech cam and mic are connected to this hub. (That's why you find 3 devices in the windows 9.x after you installed the driver) 2. The case material is transparent. It means a IR or (...) (25 years ago, 17-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

As the RIS 2.0 will support USB, is there in suggestion that it will also support the iMac/Mac platform this time around? Scott A (25 years ago, 17-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)
