| | LEGO Robots on TechTV
|
| Let's try this again. This Thursday (July 22nd) a couple of my robots are going to appear on G4TechTV's The Screen Savers. I built two robots that can play Hasbro's Connect Four against a person, or each other. The first robot, Full Contact, was (...)

I suspect that the 0 means "the event register". The designation is sure confusing. To (...) (20 years ago, 27-Aug-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

I got clarification from Tufts University: The text "Variable 0 = 0" should have read "Variable 0 = Event Register". * Variable 0 is the Red Container * = 0 is sort of a typo I believe a change from "= 0" to "Event Register" will be in the (...)

| | Waiting for more than one event
|
| What is the best way of waiting for more than one type of event? I want to turn on a motor and run it for 5 seconds or until the tough sensor is pressed, whichever comes first. This seems like such a basic problem that I'm quite sure there must be a (...) (20 years ago, 29-Aug-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

| Below is text output of a Robolab 2.5 program using two concurrent events. What exactly does "Variable 0 = 0" mean? It's right under the EventLand label. This line represent the default Red Container being assigned the Event Register Container. (...) (20 years ago, 27-Aug-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

I've seen events where sunlight was shining directly on (...) (20 years ago, 21-Aug-04, to lugnet.robotics)

I achieved these ratios not by the rotations--for instance, an 8t gear turning a 24t would result in a 3:1 ratio--but by counting the teeth--for instance, an 8t gear turning a 24t gear would result (...)

The way I see it, pushing power is limited (in an ideal world!) by one of two factors: applied torque (a function of motors and gearing), and the frictional force between the wheels and the surface (controled by the weight of the 'bot and (...)
