Hi,
I was thinking about sending away for some extra sensors and maybe
motors for my RCX and I was wondering what to get. I'm willing to spend
up to $80 - $100 US.

It just costs so much on postage I thought it would be worth getting
everything at once (and I have to get myself a credit card- damn).
Thanks, Marty.

| Thumbs up for the remote! While it's true that you can only send 1/2/3 messages, I've written some code to combine these into 5-digit (trigit?) sequences. Because of the possibilty of mis-keying or mis-receiving a sequence, sequences that end with (...) (25 years ago, 30-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics)
