I know that the RCX is the state of the art LEGO computer, but I happen to have a CyberMaster and I noticed all you have said about the Show-me Training (R) applies perfectly to the CyberMaster and much better than the RCX since no extra inputs need to be used for that purpose.
Guess what, the two internal motors have integrated Tachometers so you always know when they are turning and even their speed. And guess what, the CyberMaster can read the energy consumption of the 3rd external motor so you can determine the speed of it. And you can even determine if anything has gone wrong at runtime because you can read any if any of the 3 motors are stalled.
There's only one catch, you don't know the direction they are rotating. But then again, neither the RCX.... yet.
Also, it seems the algorithms are too heavy to be processed the RCX itself, so there's nothing better than a program remotely monitoring the CyberMaster (using the Radio link, remember?) and generating a NQC program of the behavior performed. That program could be downloaded with a key press.
It seems so easy that's weird nobody ever remembered trying it with a CyberMaster!
Any volunteers? :-)
