I'm trying to find a few (At least 1) 6551 Lego Electrical Switch. I saw two in an old Space Shuttle Technics kit. Lego's web site does not find it by part number. Anyone know where I could get some? (Even a cheap current Lego kit would do.) Also a (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics)

|
|
All, I am considering moving up to the Java VM from NQC on my RCX but I have a few questions. Does it only run on a PC? W9X? Mac (NO PC emulation)? Does it need spirit.ocx to run? Can I write in my own SDK or does it have its own SDK, and do its own (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

(...) I have seen a nonlego robot called Cye. He is controlled by a human on a computer. As you move him about a room, he uses a computer program and a bump sensor to make a 'map' of the room. After the map is made, a homebase can be set up, and (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
