  lego light sensor's capability of distinguishing colors

(...) I think you're paying not for the compiler, but for the "programmer" (a sort of serial adapter with an integrated PIC that massages the data somehow). But either way, yes, it's an extra $100 to program the thing. And without the ability to (...) (19 years ago, 23-Jun-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.edu, FTX)

(...) I don't think so. (...) Sure, but it seems of not much value regarding programming.

Hi Joe, Their website seemingly offers a lot of other gadgets. However, I have serious doubt about the programming platform though. Or, perhaps I have not found much about the programming language which can interface with it. ---...--- -------- (...) (19 years ago, 21-Jun-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.edu)
 
  Re: vex robotics kit
 
(...) I haven't used it, but I thank you for pointing it out. (For others, the link is (URL).) I hate to say it, but this looks like it rather blows the socks off of standard LEGO robotics. The starter kit is $300, which is a 50% pricier, but comes (...) (19 years ago, 21-Jun-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.edu, FTX)

  Re: position calculating for robots
 
(...) You don't need advanced math for navigating, but sin and cos for calculating coordinates in an X/Y coordinate system. This you need independently from your steering system.
