> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
>
> CogniToy(tm) Announces Add-on Pack to Program
> and Simulate Physical Robots
>
> MindRover(tm) brings its virtual robots to life
>
> ACTON, MA. June 21, 2001 -MindRover: the Europa Project, the highly
> acclaimed intelligent robot simulation/strategy game from CogniToy, is
> now expanding into the realm of physical robots with the MR_RCX add-on
> pack. This add-on pack allows players to program and simulate two LEGO(tm)
> RCX(tm) Robots within the MindRover game.
>
> With MindRover, players take on the challenge of programming virtual
> robotic vehicles for races, games, sports and robot combat. After
> choosing a base vehicle and components such as motors, sensors, and
> timers, the player then programs the robot's brain using MindRover's
> innovative drag and drop "wiring" system. The autonomous robots then
> compete in a 3D arena taking on their friend's vehicles or the games own
> AI robots.
>
> The RCX Add-on pack provides 15 new components and an arena where
> players can program and simulate two robots designed with the LEGO
> RCX robotics kit. Once the player has created an RCX brain file,
> they can download it into the physical robot to watch it perform
> in their living room.
>
> "We designed the architecture for MindRover to be platform independent
> -- meaning robot platforms. It can work with all sorts of robots,"
> explained Kent Quirk, CTO of CogniToy. "The RCX pack is just the first
> set of robot components that we have made available to the public."
>
> MR_RCX Facts at a glance
> -- 18 new components that simulate both physical and logical components
> that work with the LEGO RCX system
> -- Program your RCX robot in an easy to use, yet very powerful wiring
> system
> -- Simulate your robot in the 'bunk room' to see how it will react to
> lights, timers, bumps and other environmental stimulus
> -- Download your brain files into your RCX to see your robot come to
> life
> -- Trade RCX brain files with your friends
> -- Compete your robots against your friends or enter Internet contests
>
> The MR_RCX pack (for PC), at $15.00, can be purchased and downloaded
> directly from CogniToy's website: www.cognitoy.com. You need the full
> MindRover: The Europa Project game, to use the add-on pack. This is
> available at CogniToy's website as well.
