I am building something from the 8889 Technic Idea Book. There is a ski Gondola using the old 4.5 Volt motor(I think). You know the one with the 3 C batteries in a round grey tube? Anyway they built this gondola that would climb on a string up a 45 (...) (26 years ago, 29-Sep-98, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Two ideas. 1) My friend Paul and I are trying to make some sort of 'tag' game -- or perhaps hide & seek -- that two RCXbots can play with each other. 2) A room-mapping robot that communicates with a Linux computer which does the actual storing (...)

(...) Both of these ideas are using Dave Baum's NQCC, rather than TLG's graphical language, by the way. (26 years ago, 30-Sep-98, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) OOOhhh! what's that? tell me more :) My current project is a design for a SolarVane (Sun Tracking Unit) that only uses 2 light sensors (Ideally you'd have 4, but I came up with an elegant little fudge to solve that)... Now I just need a (...) (26 years ago, 1-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Now this sounds really interesting. Residing in Europe, I'll be getting CyberMaster soonish, and hope to be able to do something similar. What would be the best forum for discussing CyberMaster operated via Linux, by the way? The LEGO Robotics (...) (26 years ago, 1-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Check out (URL) and in specific (URL) Quite C is (as the name implies) a C-like programming language for the RCX. It runs on MS Windows and MacOS, and as soon as Dave gets around to working on the serial code, on Linux. It's _much_ more (...) (26 years ago, 1-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Yah, and the stuff at (URL) should be useful. The Cybermaster radio unit attaches via the serial port, right? It'd be nice if it uses the same protocols and firmware as the Mindstorms RCX... (26 years ago, 1-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Perhaps we should try to convince the mailing list to move to here -- or at least to gateway. Probably something like built.robotics.insides or something; it seems seperate enough from the general building of robots. (26 years ago, 1-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics)
