(...) Reading this thread, I am struck by one thought: who would actually pay for a souped-up RCX with intelligent sensors and BlueTooth in every sensor? I could see BlueTooth in every RCX, but it would be overkill for talking with sensors. A (...) (21 years ago, 5-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I agree - it's basically a good idea - but it's probably too expensive. (...) Using bluetooth for communications between RCX's - or between RCX and PC - is a bit of a non-starter, the range of bluetooth is intentionally rather short. An 802.11 (...)

While this might not be a "need" per se, I'd like to see another option for communication between RCX's than just infrared. Specifically, a port to be used specifically for this purpose, and a communication API. As far as I/O, some kind of bus (...) (21 years ago, 5-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) As I've pointed out many times in the past, the RCX is faster and has more memory than the comuter in the LEM that allowed astronauts to got to the moon and back. (URL) The difference is that we are missing I/O expansion - and on top of that (...) (21 years ago, 5-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)

Here is the perfect idea: Basicly, the new RCX comes with several components: 1.sensors, motors and so on as now (perhaps with some new ones) 2.a large "base unit" that would have a good CPU, communication with the host PC for programming, LCD (...) (21 years ago, 6-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)
