Uhh --- that was a stupid comment, wasn't it?  How do the Lego guys guard
(or shield) against the possibility of the motor magnets disrupting the
electronics or memory onboard the RCX?

By making sure the magnets are not strong enough to do those things.

Which isn't hard - it takes a very strong magnet to interfere with solid
state electronics. It's only magnetic media (floppy/hard disks) that are
vulnerable, and even those are not as vulnerable as is often thought.
