Actually you just hit on something that would be a great asset for those of
people who:
*aren't interested in programming
*don't have the required skills
*don't have the time to write programs
*are extremely lazy like myself and are looking for an easy solution :P
*are in a catagory I failed to mention here that apply...
It would be great to have a "code database" somewhere for people to go
download the programs to their pc and then to their RCX. Of course,
instructions would have to be included to explain which sensor, motor, etc
went on which RCX port. Simple programs for simple machines could very
easily be traded this way. More complex machines with items like rotation
sensors to detect end travel would be a little more digfficult to trade due
to the fact that one persons mechanism might have a longer/shorter travel or
a different gear ratio...
