If I am understanding the problem correctly here, you
should look into using DCC from the RCX.
If I do understand your problem, here is a link to a
site where a guy tackles using RCX with LEGO trains,
and controls them uniquely well with the help of model
railroad DCC controller circuits, just as is done on
regular RR model setups.

Hope that is helpful.
Cheers

| Hi and thanks for the link! My problem isn't so much a problem more of a "I've got these LEGO computers, I don't build robots, now how do I make use of them" kind of thing. :) I think, unfortunately, the building or converting of an RCX is beyond me (...)
