In fact, more than almost any other single point, this (...)   (18 years ago, 31-May-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

| Hi, I tried to write some code to simulate the events like in RCX. It starts to look cluttered. I understand that NXT VM does not support events like you find in the RCX. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated! Elizabeth    (18 years ago, 31-May-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

| I have two bots set up some meaningful ack and nack conversation. However, when one bot/slave lost connection, e.g. terminated abruptly, the sender (master) does not notice that it indeed lost it. The ReceiveRemoteNumber(INBOX, true, ack) does not (...)   (18 years ago, 31-May-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

| Hi, SetBrickDataName(str) seems to be able to only change the name of the nxt temporarily. Once the nxt is started, it loses the name assigned thru the SetBrickDataName earlier. Idea? --Elizabeth    (18 years ago, 31-May-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

Since day 1 I've back-driven the NXT motors by hand, including the magic motor demo (not as efficient with the NXT motors, but it does work), using (...)

| (...) Well, I don't want to claim to be an expert, but I'll tell you what I've done. I have a couple remotes that I've been using for over a year, and I haven't had problems with them. One not only uses the rotation sensors, but also uses the motors (...)   (18 years ago, 29-May-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

| Hand crank it alone should be find. As a matter of fact, that's how we demonstrate to kids a generator. However, just to be on the safe side, I would recommend you not to hand crank it when it is hooked onto to the power source, especially when it (...)

The best example would be the MDPers who built one joystick with a NXT kit to control a moving vehicle made with (...)   (18 years ago, 28-May-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

| Hi John, I would not think so, as the NXT's own construction guide has a pick and place (blue ball, red ball) robot, that has hand cranks to move it into position. Danny (...)    (18 years ago, 28-May-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
