in reference to the recently discussed Code Repository, if there's no way
to get code out of these app's then I'll just get better with NQC and the

You can't generate an srec from RCX Code or Robolab. However,
RCX Code does support an "Export" function that allows
you to write out programs to arbitrary files. These files
could be placed in a code repository--as a matter of fact,
you can already do this at www.legomindstorms.com.

4. last question, could someone point me to an online article on how to
drive Radio Control type servos with the RCX.

Did you check the web site first?: http://www.crynwr.com/lego-robotics

There are two mentions of servos on that page;

1. What is the value of an Add Subtract differential? I have seen the pic's that folks have made and followes some of the discussion, but I don't really grok the value of one of the systems. 2. Is the processor in the RCX 'really' a multitasking (...) (25 years ago, 20-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics)
