hi all
Even I thought that you have to keep facing the rcx only in front of the
transmitter, but later I found that it can be controlled even if the rcx
goes under the bed or some hidden place..
I´m wondering if i can use the computer's memory and microprocessor
behalf the RCX´s memory and microprocessor. maintaining the link • between the
RCX and the computer all the time.
I planning to make it like that in VB where u send commands from the pc and
the robot obeys it .. I want to fix a wireless x-10 cam also .
    but I dont get the exact movement of the robot I want , I
find the motors not powerful enough to make a nice turn .. it sometimes
appears sluggish.. I always imagined havind a robot that is quick .. when u
program it to go 2 feet ahead and turn 90 degrees and go 3 feet i want it to
be exact and do it immediatly..
any of you have any ideas??/  to make them do things fast and powerful ..
any other alternatives other than the lego motors??

     I planned to add a full computer on the robot model , 3 months back I
had bought the
smallest pc available so i could use the windows 98 operating system . i got
the CASIO FIVA tablet pc .. it is around 890 grams . only ..not much weight
but here also i
found the lego motors have trouble in turning , and running the full load
with the tablet pc and the x-10 cam ..etc .. any suggestions please..
    I can make a fully mobile robot with all the cool feartures which we
could do in our desk tops ..

    Any one has a artificiall intellegence program for windows operatin g
system ..?? i remember those old dos based programs where you type and the
computer talks back .. as if it had life and you were taling to someone ..
.. any one has programs like that
?? as this is fully mobile pc and robot ,, it can talk back if i had the
program ,, and right now i'm trying to add a voice recogination with the vb
program . so all the commands i can give as voice..commands.
    Any ideas and suggestions
Dr Patel

Yes - providing there is a 'line of sight' between the IR 'tower' and • the
RCX's IR window.  If the robot is facing away from the tower, it won't
see messages sent by your PC...if it drives under a table or • something...
same problem.

Actually the IR link may work even when the RCX is not facing the IR • tower.
If the range of both devices is set to `far', IR light reflections may be
strong enough to be `seen' by IR receivers.  That's true only for short
distance however, say 3-4 meters.  For me the IR link works even in an
adjacent room, but performances vary from case to case: ambient light,
object surfaces, interference sources... are important.

You may also check legOS (http://legos.sourceforge.net/).  It gives you
more control and more power from the RCX compared to the standard firware.
That may lessen the demand for bandwidth, but this dependes entirely on
your application.

Bernardo
