FWIW, here's what I came up with given a couple of weeks: (URL) are some aspects I was happy with (e.g., easy removal of the RCX, transmission range of upward pointing RCX, durability of frame) and others I wasn't (e.g., I didn't have a second (...)

You have a lot of good theory on your site that I'll have to study, especially your (...) (25 years ago, 23-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)

In theory, the ping routine will turn the RCX towards the IR (...) (25 years ago, 25-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)

I'm still going nuts over that ping routine you came up with - a stroke of (...) (25 years ago, 27-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)
