Your program is pretty difficult for me to follow...way too many tasks starting and stoping one another. For something as simple as the algorithm you described, you can probably take care of all the light seeking in a single task. If you still want (...)

I've successfully implemented an idle powerdown into the legOS kernel. On more than one occasion I have left my RCX on overnight, resulting in the need to buy a new set of batteries.

If the functions you wish to perform can be done in simple tasks you could probably program each RCX to recognize a specific range of message numbers. In this way, a 'function' on the RCXs can be 'invoked' by the PC by having it send a specific (...) (24 years ago, 12-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
