While sitting in an incredibly boring IB Spanish I class this afternoon (no teacher=no work=no progress=boredom=idle thoughts), I had an idea. It may have been said already in the flood of NXT-based messages which crossed my inbox several months (...) (19 years ago, 18-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)

Glad to help... I have an interest, also, in how to use these types of products to create interest in the math/science subjects. There is so much information on the Internet and from organizations like FIRST/FLL... good luck. Jim -- View this (...) (19 years ago, 18-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) The original firmware is a very stable piece of software. The only moment that we ever had serious problems with it was linked to our robot GASTON while being used in the same room with a 10 desktop Mindstorms robotics course. Some parasite IR (...)

Hello Jonathan, (...) No, it is extremely improbable! Here is the only "virus" for RCX I know: (URL) it requires some cooperation so that it can spread! (...) I don't think so. Did you have very heavy load on all three motor outputs? if so, there is (...) (19 years ago, 16-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Some more info about the problem: My RCX is 2.0 and I bought it 4-5 years ago. It's been on the shelf for a while (2-3 months) and I've always used rechargeable batteries. The ones I'm using now are 2000mA NiMH. I installed the firmware both (...) (19 years ago, 16-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I think it is very doubtful. I have not heard of any actual evidence of an RCX virus. What software are you using? How old is the RCX? Are you using a Ver. 1.0 with A/C input? Are you using an external power transformer? Can you borrow another (...) (19 years ago, 16-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)

I think I heard about something like this a while back. I recently built a "CNC Milling Machine" out of Lego. It's my first attempt so it's very rudimentary and doesn't look that nice. Once I made a small program to see how the machine worked, I (...) (19 years ago, 15-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)
