(...) My VERY FIRST impression is that the RCX is faster than the NXT. In my two previous tests with the RCX it took about three days with standard shipping to arrive at my door (counting from when shop@home sends me shipment notification). My test (...)

(...) Tim, I think you should consider there are other factors that cause the NXT to be slower than the RCX. You may not be able to accurately run this speed test, until the NXT shipping bottleneck is eased. I assume that will be sometime next year. (...) (18 years ago, 28-Jun-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) There are two issues here. First, the NXT is slightly larger than the RCX, and therefore requires more shipping space. Thus fewer NXTs per UPS truck, etc. The only way around this was to make them smaller (we on the MUP/MDP pushed for making (...) (18 years ago, 28-Jun-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Well I also ran the same test, with both the RCX and the NXT... and the results were so identical, it's almost shocking. RCX - did not place order at shop&home, and strangely it never arrived. NXT - did not place order at shop&home, and (...) (18 years ago, 28-Jun-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Janey, you need to constrain the test better - the question here is "how *long* did it take the RCX not to arrive?". You have to be specific and scientific on these things... (18 years ago, 28-Jun-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Don't forget the Heisenberg Uncertaintanty Principle. You know the amount of time that passed during which the NXT or RCX didn't arrive, but you can't simultaneously know where it didn't arrive. Perhaps it's on your porch right now, but you'll (...)
