Most of the GBC modules are (brilliantly, elegantly...) purely mechanical except for the train ball return, and Brian was claiming that a sufficiently clever mechanical engineer could do that one without an RCX either....

(...) Not having an RCX does not necesarily make it irrelevant to robotics. I consider automatons fairly relevant - and the technique of getting a single motor to do many things is a very valuable one, especially considering the IO limitations of (...)

		Re: Group project: RCX units run emergence simulation
(...) Hi! Cool. Now I'm a cohort ;-) (...) Well, sort of... the robotic forklift I brought to HoB is currently the most complex module (that I know about) that requires an RCX, but there are some other options. A ball-sorting mechanism is (...) (20 years ago, 23-May-05, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.robotics.rcx)
