(...) Thanks - like you said, simple sometimes tends to be a good approach, and while I only had the red hulls there wasn't a lot of mass budget to "overbuild". (...) That I *completely* understand. I just haven't had the luxury of a warm pool to (...) (16 years ago, 14-Nov-08, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.boats)

(...) Very nice; I like your design! Since it was our first challenge, we figured we still needed someone in the pool, just in case something went wrong... We had one boat capsized, one boat take on too much water, & a few circle out of control. (...) (16 years ago, 14-Nov-08, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Cool. Although since the festival takes place at Downtown Disney, I think you really should have had a race across the entire lake. Serenity could handle it: (URL) I've got the 2.0 version (using two blue hulls... and mounting a camera that (...) (16 years ago, 14-Nov-08, to lugnet.boats, lugnet.robotics)

Sound localization is an extremely exciting topic. While blur localization cues that are based on level differences or precedence effect cues are easy to implement into real robots, the localization of continuous signals based on time difference of (...)

(...) Thanks Brian. NXTPrograms.com is a nice website. Interesting that they chose to use photographs instead of CAD to illustrate their builds. For the most part, the basic NXT Edu bot is more than sufficient for Elementary school robotics (...) (16 years ago, 1-Nov-08, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Robolab comes with the RCX firmware and I agree it will probably be a lot easier to grasp for your son than NXC/NBC. The advantage of the latter though is that it is completely free. Since you have a serial tower you'll need to load whatever (...) (16 years ago, 24-Oct-08, to lugnet.robotics)

Hi! I have tried to get my old (old? It was the first one in Austria!) RCX 1.0 working again, but didn't succeed. After all these years, the firmware seems to be gone, it doesn't even run the on-board programs... I tried to install the original (...) (16 years ago, 22-Oct-08, to lugnet.robotics)
