I'm a teaching assistant for a course at brown university that uses legOS and the RCX extensively. I've added quite a bit to legOS (0.2.5) to suit our course needs, but the rest is all still there. I've written up some documentation and an API for (...) (22 years ago, 25-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| | Re: Interactive communication with the RCX

I don't think collision detection will be possible since the hardware/firmware does a checksum (at least in lego firmware), and no message is provided to the VM software (LASM), this prevents ACK/NAK protocols working.
