Hi there, Inspired by the answer by Juergen Stuber in the lejos/legos thread, I suddenly began to think about the fact that "we" only have eight power levels to choose among. Why is that?

As long as there is some surface for the IR to bounce off, the bricks do not have to face each other. Sending messages is the technique that is used and is very effective. You can do this with any of the various programming languages. -- Bob Fay (...) (23 years ago, 18-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
