Although I think adding memory can be worthwhile I would like to add a point

(...) This is a good point. I admit it, I spend a LOT of time trying to find ways to increase the range of my RCX. To date, I've actually spent more time building new input/output devices than I have actually building and programming robots. But, (...) (26 years ago, 7-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics)
