First off, I want to congratulate Mac on being the first builder to enter the Aluminum Can Stacking challenge, and for besting my score before I was even done! While I was fiddling with my robot trying to get the coveted fourth can on the stack, he (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| | Re: LNPD problem..again :)
|
|
(...) Have you set up a packet handler on the RCX before sending this? I would guess that if there isn't one, you'll run into something like TCP's "connection refused", which might be what you're seeing. Otherwise, I assume that other LNP stuff (...)

|
(...) The type of navigation you seem to be talking about is called "dead reconning" by aviators. This method requires accurate distance, speed and direction mesurments. Counting motor revolutions does not even tell distance if the surface has (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) I saw this bar-tender in Frankfurt at the visioncommand 2000 competition. They are obviously running a serial protocol on their 17 RCX ! (One RCX and the IR-Tower were under the desk in a box.) Why don't they offer tese protocol to the lugnet (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I am currently working on a program that will monitor where a RCX goes. I am trying to establish a coordinate system so if it finds a light it can tell the location of the light. I was thinking about monitoring motor revolutions, but then I am (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) I take that back. Apparently Jin Sato didn't make that, he just talked about it in the book. I guess I never really noticed MIBO in that picture before. *feeling dumb* sorry... -jeremiah- (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.technic)

I don't think so - I seem to remember seeing this somewhere before, built with a humble RCX 1.0/5. Actually, if you look closely, you'll see it contains 2 RCXs, one below the other on an angle. Not much chance of TLC including 2 with the set.... (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.technic)

Oh, wow!! If that set is even half as good as it looks in the picture, that will be one set everyone will be scrambling to pick up!! Mind you, I do hope they don't expect to put a $390 price tag on it and expect people to pay that much for it!! Mind (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.technic)

Take a look at (URL). See the dog? Is it MIBO? If we can really build that dog out of the box, then RIS 2.0 might as well be the best Technic Universal set Lego has ever released. Look at the rotation sensor, the shock absorbers, and all those turn (...) (24 years ago, 27-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.technic)

Great info! USB IR tower sounds good, I want to use my IR tower with my iBook, but I'm too lazy to buy an USB/Parallell port... I'm planning to use MacNQC then, but AFAIK, MacNQC doesn't "know" that there is a USB port on my computer... Or will it (...) (24 years ago, 26-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Another option would be to use NQC directly from the command (...) (24 years ago, 26-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
