must be 32.767 or what??? And what happens when the rotation sensor
reaches its limit – I have a feeling that the RCX simply turns off the
power. Any comments would be most appreciated.

The simplest answer is to try it.  Yes the limit that an RCX 16 bit integer can
hold is 32767.  From there things go to -32768 down to zero I think.
