I also need to find a way (using just the parts from my 2.0, with any firmware that will do it) to be able to send a signal to the RCX no matter what position its in and tell it to go forwards, go backwards, turn left, turn right plus 2 other commands that I want to keep secret.

(...) (URL) down to see pics of the latest 'bot. It's basically taken right out of Exploration Mars, with the RCX mounted vertically, so the IR can receive signals from anywhere on the floor. (22 years ago, 19-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics)
