I am wanting to begin experimenting with web based control of the RCX using RoboLAB 2.0 but have not been able to find any information. Can anyone kindly lead to some resources? I have only the knowledge that this can be done, nothing else. (25 years ago, 12-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab, lugnet.robotics.edu, lugnet.robotics)
