broadcast an Identifier, lap time or otherwise for "pit board" type
communications between the multiple cars and a separate RCX trackside.

any code example would be great.

Each RCX must have a "listener" set up for the port you broadcast on. LNP addressing normally (...) (22 years ago, 5-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics)
