(...) Well... technically it could probably be done, using a microcontroller with integrated USB host, and some interface with mass storage added to it. But that would be a HUGE electronics/software project! Philo (18 years ago, 20-Dec-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Steve, Thanks! I was hoping it might work like the memory card in my digital camera. By the way, when your working on the next NXT, a memory card slot would be COOL! I can dream can't I? Sincerely, Todd (18 years ago, 20-Dec-06, to lugnet.robotics)

Mindstorms NXT experts, Okay, so I am working with my NXT and it occurs to me that the brick has a USB connection. USB connections are bidirectional meaning that information can go both ways.
