Interesting! I never knew all those languages were from the same 'family'. Being a 'natural' language teacher I can see how knowing one helps to learn another related one, and I also appreciate the need for practice, practice and more practice. So (...) (18 years ago, 7-Dec-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Yes, I think the new capabilities of the NXT are going to give us all a new perspective on the challenges we've taken on in the past. (...) Cool! There are other benefits to synchro drive as well, I suppose, such as the ability to change (...) (18 years ago, 7-Dec-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) You are touching on the exact reason I am playing with the synchro drive platform. Previously, to maintain "sync" between the rotation of different wheels I had to use locked gearing or a chain. you can see examples here: (URL) (...) (18 years ago, 7-Dec-06, to lugnet.robotics)

I remember seeing something like this made of lego a long time ago... I believe it was made with the flex tubes. Also, there's a GBC that uses an Arquimedian screw to lift the balls. I'm afraid I have no links to any of this things but maybe I've (...) (18 years ago, 7-Dec-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) No...I don't think you do. (...) The RCX has nowhere near enough memory to deal with images from cameras. The Lego camera connects to your PC through a cable - so it's not much use for mobile robots. The PC could do image processing and send (...) (18 years ago, 7-Nov-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Yep - that's definitely the case. Once you have learned one C-like language (and I'd describe JAVA, NQC, C++, Python, Pascal, JavaScript, PHP as 'sufficiently C-like') - it's quite easy to learn another. I needed to learn PHP for a project I (...) (18 years ago, 7-Nov-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) The LEGO camera is actually a Logitech USB camera, and cannot be interfaced directly with the RCX. It needs to be connected to a PC (or some other USB Host device) in order to operate. This restriction means that you probably need a PC (...) (18 years ago, 7-Dec-06, to lugnet.robotics, FTX)
