This one is interesting. By using the firmware in the brick in a new
and interesting way, are we exploiting the power of LEGO? Or are
we filing the studs off a 2x4 to make a tile brick?
It all depends on your point of view. I see the RCX as a collection
of software routines, and processor hardware that I can reconfigure
to suit my needs. After all, that's what the general purpose micro
was supposed to do when Intel developed the 4004.
If you see the RCX as a monolithic brick, then stick with the RIS software.
Cheers, Ralph
