(...) Exactly. You see, you may have been waiting for the RCX for many years: without proper documentation, you have no data to extrapolate from. Furthermore there is the statistical nature of the shipping process to consider, so there are (...) (19 years ago, 29-Jun-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) What exactly seems to be the problem? Can you connect to the NXT from the programming environment? (...) Note that if you don't want the "Try Me" and on-brick programming options, these can all be deleted freeing up some room. From the memory (...) (19 years ago, 29-Jun-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I'm fairly pleased with that as well, although now I've got big dreams of how to really use it (and then, I'll probably be complaining about how it doesn't have sub-0.1° resolution :-). (...)

Got 4 a few days ago and gave a couple of kits to my advanced robot kids at our summer camps. Actually, they were quite underwhelmed. They didn't like the new motor structure and felt instructions weren't correct and prefer the Mindstorms old (...) (19 years ago, 29-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 (...)
