Thanks for the offer. I hadn't thought about the programming yet. STil
need to watch your videos to see how yours works. At the moment I'm
trying to learn NQC. I thought the whole setup might be controlled with
a single RCX (as appears to be the case in the additional link you
sent). Why did you use a second one?
I've counted 3 motors and 2 or 3 rotation sensors. I don't have any
rotation sensors, but I'm trying to figure out if I can use 'Electric
Computer Speed' (peeron #32467) by cutting the wire between the sensor
and the 'computer and fitting it with an electric brick 2x2x2 from an
electric cable.
I've seen there is an 'mrailprograms' folder in your brickshelf gallery,
but it is 'not yet public'. I'm in no hurry to see the program (building
the thing will take me quite some time), but I would love to have a look
at your program if only to get some ideas for an NQC version.

| (...) Hello, It works like an interactive remote control. That way you can play with it and develop your skill. Vary few people have been able to walk the marble uphill on the first try. First RCX is for the base it has 2 motors and 3 rotation (...) (18 years ago, 8-Dec-06, to lugnet.robotics)
