NGLTC (and other train club) members have been getting creative with their mindstorms. 1) Rail Racers! 2) Lewis Valentine has made a working train drawbridge on the NGLTC layout. It's taken him a lot of tinkering, but it works very well! 3) Street (...) (20 years ago, 19-Jul-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Please pardon the interruption, as this is probably a bit off-topic, and is more a distraction than a contribution at this point. ;-) I've been looking in the various LUGNET forums, hoping to find a link to a good page of clues for using the RCX in (...)

Basically there's enough light coming through that it would expose film quite quickly. Also, the ambient does have light in it. If the lego sensor isn't sensitive enough, could I easily replace it with another? (20 years ago, 14-Jul-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

From the picture (d1_p31) it looks as though all 4 RCXs can see the tower. I don't know anything about pcrcxcomm.jar or rcxf7port; and not much about lejos, however, if all 4 RCXs try to respond to the tower, you will have collisions. Try covering (...)
