| | | all, i have a little program that controls the RCX from the PC. i know other people here have done that, so... my major problem is that signal round trip time is very high - it takes about 200 - 250 ms to send ONE command to the RCX (waiting for the (...)

Try to put more decision-making capabilities in the RCX itself and let the PC handle its behaviour (...) (25 years ago, 27-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

I agree with your conclusion (separating 'driving' from 'navigating'), but there is a slight difference between the RCX and Pathfinder: the latter had videocameras, allowing it to see much further and also understand better the environment.
