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, even stock, this is one powerful little box for it's size. People
have done much bigger projects with much more limited computers (various
aspects of the Apollo missions come to mind). While it's fun to find
ways to extend the RCX, the place where users will really shine is
making it do interesting things working within the limitations
presented.
