(...) I have a question about the encoders on the NXT motor. I read that they're supposed to report the shaft position to within 1 degree. But looking at the encoder wheel actually inside the device, I don't see how that can be. It looks to me like (...) (20 years ago, 3-May-06, to lugnet.robotics, FTX)

(...) What about multiple NXTs? How well does Bluetooth handle message collisions? Does the NXT have anything built-in to handle them, or would I need to program some kind of re-try protocol? I assume it also has no built-in addressing protocol? (...) (20 years ago, 2-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)

Hi all you M[U|D]Ps I know most of the MDPs probably only have 1 NXT, but I'm hoping someone out there has 2, and has investigated NXT-NXT communication. Is it possible? How hard is it? I'm currently thinking Bluetooth, but is there any other way? (...) (20 years ago, 2-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)
