It looks like (starting next week) I'll be in charge of 1/2 dozen RCX
units. I have three questions: (the third is most likely to be most
interesting for most people)
1) Has anyone actually gotten two RCXs to communicate reliably via IR?
(LNP folk (if there actually are any) are solicited here!)
2) What about other forms of communications? I know several people have
used two RCXs to construct bots of various forms- have they communicated
in any way? Or have they operated independently?
3) The big one: What would you do with six RCXs? Throw out your really
wild and crazy ideas here- I don't have any really cool ones of my own
yet. If you actually have an idea that you would like to see tried, I can
probably code it and digitally video and photograph it for the world to
see.
Why you ask? These are intended for a class project, but I have the rest
of the summer to *play* with them (my professor doesn't mind too much) and
I think it would be interesting to have them interact or cooperate, even
if they don't actually communicate. So I'm trolling for cool stuff I can
watch them do. I figure someone out there must have a secret itch for
something that 6 robots can do... soccer, anyone?
Waiting for the ideas to come rolling in :)
