I've got 8 kids working on NXT who have been experiencing "not enough memory". So, I did a little experimenting. Every new program takes a minimum of 6K. Every Move Block takes 0.5K Imagine that! 500 bytes for a simple move block. I haven't measured (...) (18 years ago, 14-Oct-06, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

(...) Well, you need converter cables of some sort to even connect RCX sensors and motors to the NXT. Beyond that, I'm not sure; I've not tried yet, because I don't have the converter cables to try. I suspect you will need the special NXT-G (...) (18 years ago, 13-Oct-06, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

Hello everyone: Is it possible for the NXT to send Run Program commands from the NXT to RCX via a light sensor? Here is an example: 1- The NXT Ultrasound sensor detects an object close by, triggers the NXT light sensor to light up at 20 percent (...) (18 years ago, 5-Oct-06, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

I am working with a couple FLL teams, building with the NXT. I am having a little trouble coaching them on studless building techniques, as it is still a bit of a new concept to me as well.
