It looks like the Spybotic designers strongly focused on the one thing which was appearantly overlooked in the RCX: situational (and peer) awareness. This introduces new concepts like the Here and There and a world of missions and gameplay. Let's (...) (22 years ago, 5-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

(...) Well, it turns out I hadn't established a secure channel with my Gigamesh. Or, actually, I had but somehow it ended up back in "respond to all channels" mode.

|

Here are a couple issues regarding my Gigamesh Spybot. I presume it's the same for all of them. 1. The manas controller controller works with the Spybot. That's great. However, it works with the channel set to any of its four positions. That is a (...) (22 years ago, 4-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

I really love spybot speed motor control ! A little NQC test program : task main() { int x; SetLED(LED_MODE_BLINK, 0); OnFwd (OUT_A+OUT_B); //Progressive acceleration for (x=0; x<8; x++) { SetPower (OUT_A+OUT_B,x); SetLED(LED_MODE_ON, x); Wait(100); (...)

(...) I totally agree... The three IR emitters seems to be IR leds with a very wide viewing angle (this kind of package with a flat top can emit on 120°) so a Spybot can be IR-seen all around Philo (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics, lugnet.robotics)

(...) John, I think you may be confused about the IR detectors. There are only two and they are facing forwards. The 2 white parts facing forward and the white part facing backwards are low power IR emitters.... Cheers, Ralph (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics, lugnet.robotics)

LEGO said (althow I haven't tried it) that all the IR controllers were compatable. That would mean not only Mana, but also the RC Nitro Flash, which also has three channels. So you can have a Spybot battle a Mana AND a Nitro flash... Steve ----- (...) (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
