I'm thinking something like a hybrid between the GameboyRCX and what we have now.... What if you could use an IR equipped palmPilot (or Clie), or even a PocketPC to talk to a simple micro. Wait, you'd need an IRDA protocol stack on the micro, unless (...) (20 years ago, 18-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

OK, I give up. Exactly where on the LEGO site do you get the survey? Ralph (20 years ago, 18-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Well, I had to respond to the survey - how could I not!!! More ports and more sensor choices was my main message. I must say, having built numerous active sensors for RCX, I don't think I'd class the interface as hard to live with. Its cheap - (...) (20 years ago, 18-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) It might be a long shot - but I am gonna ask for more sensor/motor ports and external power in/out lines. I always thought the active sensor thing was over complicated for any custom sensors. Since they pose the "what would you consider (...) (20 years ago, 17-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Can't argue with that. Well, except I wouldn't describe the RCX as a sports car. Anyone care to comment? But I think you are mostly right. Comparing the RCX to the charmed labs XRC is like comparing apples to melons. You get a whole lot more (...) (20 years ago, 17-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) You can also get to the survey at: (URL) Wonder if this means they haven't started yet on new Mindstorms product. Was kind of hoping the next gen stuff would come along soon.

That depends on the individual, both on how interested they'd be in owning one (not everybody would be), and how willing they are to have it tied up in robotic creations and unavailable for game play. Of course, if you already have more than (...) (20 years ago, 17-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) And considering the RIS is still around £159 around here - then the $269 (working out at around £150) is cheaper. Granted you would probably already have a RIS - and would need the motors etc. Anyway - would you go to the trouble of adapting (...) (20 years ago, 17-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
