Is it possible (with the standard firmware) to read the RCX sensors
(actually, ideally, to run any old subroutine) at equal intervals, ie like
every 100ms or something? (I assume it must be, otherwise you couldn't
measure speed with the angle sensor, because you'd need to know the time
between sensor readings...)

(...) By standard firmware, I assume you mean using the byte codes ala NQC or something similar. If you only want semi-precise timing, you can use the wait opcode to delay for approximately 100 ms between sensor samples. If you want something more (...)

The press room at www.legomindstorms.com has some new pictures of the two new kits due out this year. From these pictures, it's clear that the "Scout" unit - in the Robotics Discovery Kit - is very similar to the RCX; it has only 2 inputs, and (...) (26 years ago, 24-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics)
