-So, I'm building an RCX-based robot that already has - and needs - a
light sensor, a rotation sensor, and a touch sensor. I've discovered I
can include another touch sensor on the same input as the light sensor.
(Thanks to http://www.cs.uu.nl/people/markov/lego/tips/index.html.) Can
the same be done with the rotation sensor? Assume I'm using NQC, but no
non-standard Lego parts. Are there any other tricks for adding more
sensors?
(The robot, incidentally, is a 1:60 scale Ogre
(http://www.sjgames.com/ogre/).)

| (...) You mean a touch sensor and a rotation sensor? This does not work. The two sensors confuse one another. Also, pairing up a light sensor and a touch sensor only works if the lights are not very bright. Pointing the light sensor at a bright (...) (26 years ago, 27-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics)
