Currently, my biggest problem has been communicating between RCXs.  I keep getting collisions with my messages.

I've had to limit the messages to one direction.  That seems to be working better.

In my system (one RCX and three Scouts), I had one 'master' and three 'slaves'.

The rule was that no slave is allowed to talk unless first addressed by the master.

I've finally gotten around to writing up this setup and putting it on the web.

It would work with fewer computers (or with some difficulty - with more) - and
the slaves could be either RCX's or Scouts.
