Image processing?
Proportional control pushes back proportional to deflection (i.e. it
simulates a spring). Derivative control pushes back proportional to rate
of deflection (i.e. it simulates dynamic friction). Integral control
pushes back proportional to to the area under the curve.
It should be possible to implement this in the RCX. The math is as
follows (assuming an angle sensor):
error = desired angle - actual angle
control effort = base control effort
+ Kp * error
+ Kd * (error-prev_error)/delta_t
+ Ki * error * dt
where Kp, Ki, and Kd are gains chosen beforehand.
(This is a gross approximation... but it ought to work...)

This is a _very_ simplified version of proportional control.
