Hi all!

I'd like to control multiple mindstorms robots using one IR tower with
replacing the default firmware for RCX unit to leJOS! Is it possible?
I do consider the problem of how to distinguish the different RCX units
inside the robots within the same range of one IR tower! Is it correct to
impose some RCX-side program logic in java to offer different
names/identifiers for the each RCX-units? But how to do that? Can anyone
give me some suggestions about theses?
Thanks a lot!
