| | USB Tower range

Hi, I recently bought the RCX2.0 and I am a little disappointed at the range for the USB tower. Though configured to be at long range I doubt I can implement a range greater then 5 or 6 feet. Is this normal.? Am I missing something.? Paul Reedman (21 years ago, 7-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hy How many free space has the RCX? I mean, how great can a NQC-Scipt be? I've read in the help-File, that a script mustn't be greater than 16Kb. Is that true? (21 years ago, 8-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
