Hi John,
of course you're right. (I really didn't think about it that far !)
This might (will ?!?) result in a feedback-loop (like holding a microphone
in front of the speaker the microphone works for)
The only way to avoid this will be to optically seperate the two channels.
[ooh ooh, Lego purists will hate me ;-) ] That will only work if you remove
the covers from RCX and tower (or replace it with an seperation) and
optically seperate IR-diode and IR-photo-transistor.
Best regards
Rainer
P.S.: Good to know there are people out there thinking about what we write !
