Hi Stephen,
you will not have success with this approach, because the LEGO firmware has no
collision detection (especially no collision avoidance !) for their IR
protocol. So if you're using more than 2 IR devices with LEGO firmware you will
receive collisions that are not handled in any way. (We tried using 2 Vision
Command Cameras on two hosts (and two IR towers) and one RCX and failed. The
VC software stops and announced an "unknown" :-( error. )
The only way doing this may be using legOS and its LNP (lego network protocol)
with which you can use adressed devices. AFAIK legOS isn't available for you're
scout, so this won't work either. SORRY.
Regards
Rainer
P.S.: Can't you seperate them optically ??

| Let me clarify. although it still may not be possible, I just want to create 2 lego BattleBot like robots. A Scout based bot being controlled by one person with the Lego Remote and a Second bot being controlled via RCX to RCX like in the Lego (...) (24 years ago, 27-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
