   So, please tell me what else the RCX needs and what other sensors would be good to have. I’ll still take mechanical improvements, too. Thanks.


As far as the RCX goes and in concert with most other respondees, more resources are really what’s needed. In order of importance to me, I think I/O followed by memory capacity followed by CPU speed would do it for me.

I can see the need for more I/O from the RCX, but I really don’t understand why everyone thinks it needs more memory and CPU speed.

I’m interested to hear about any projects that people have attempted which required more of either.

Steve

(...) I like using NQC because of the simplicity of downloading byte code based programs onto the Lego firmware environment. Using NQC, the CPU would need to be at least 10x to 100x faster to run the kind of programs I would like to run at an (...) (21 years ago, 5-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics, FTX)

(...) Lejos is notoriously short on memory, with a half decent communication stack the RCX is full. In general I'd say with more memory and speed you can program more "high-level", and build more intelligent robots. As for a new RCX version I'd say (...)
