-I disagree. It lets you do a lot of testing without firing up your
computer, via the "motor on" buttons. It lets you send 1/2/3 messages,
which lets you use it as a literal remote control for your bot. I also
find it useful because my current project requires the RCX to be buried
inside the model, where I can't reach the buttons. So long as I have a
way of hitting the on/off button, I don't need the other ones if I have
the remote.

| 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. I was thinking about two rotation sensors, and a extra motor and maybe a remote. Does (...) (25 years ago, 30-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics)
