I don't know if you could use this with Mindstorms or not (I would assume you could) but it sure sounds cool! It's a voice recognition module.... I wonder how hard it would be to assemble and use.

I made robot using NQC that did this....pretty reliably too. The idea is you constantly send out messages, and when you get close to an object, there's a bit of feedback. This feedback is picked up by one of the light sensors, which is particularly (...) (24 years ago, 26-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) I like the multiple robot idea.

(...) Yes. Therefore you might want to use the truncation selection, which allows you to have only 1 copy of the population at a time to save memory. It worked for us, we have a small GA running inside of the RCX. We evolved a program with simple (...) (24 years ago, 24-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
