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 (17 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 (17 years ago, 31-May-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

Hi: Sometimes my son and I move the NXT motors by hand, for instance, by attaching something to the holes in the orange hubs to act as a crank. We wonder if that's bad for the motors. Does anyone have an opinion? Regards, John and Will (17 years ago, 28-May-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
