There's a couple of other ways to do it (besides the off / float mentioned by
others):
1. Have the motor off RCX1 drive a rotation sensor on RCX2. Requires more space
& parts.
2. Use LNP (infra-red communication). But requires that RCXs are in such
positions that the signals aren't lost. Advantage is that is doesn't use any
inputs / outputs on either RCX.

| Hi! Does anyone know if it is possible to have to RCXs communicate by connecting the motor outputs of one to the sensor inputs to the other? I have a slight feeling this could burn things due to the high-voltage (relatively) output of the RCX motor (...) (24 years ago, 6-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
