I'm currently working on a robot that uses 2 RCXs. They will obviously need
to communicate with each other, so I need to know the proper way to position
them. Will it work if I stack them one on top of the other? (The top one
would have to be upside down, of course...)
My other thought was to position them a few inches apart, but with one at a 45
degree angle to the other one. Would this work?
Thanks!

Recall that the RCXs are designed to talk amoung themselves when placed on moving robots. If you want to make sure, put a red or (...) (26 years ago, 30-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics)
