Some more information about their movement:

- a RCX controls two legs. T-Rex is biped, Stegosaure is quadruped

- not to lose balance, the RCX rocks of right-hand side on the left, according
to a longitudinal axis, and always comes to be placed at the top of the leg of
support.
To raise the left leg, the RCX rocks with the top of the right leg and thus
acts as counterweight. And conversely.

At Stegosaure, the two RCX function in a synchronous way. They undoubtedly
communicate by infra-red, but I do not have the proof of it - As regards the
phase of attack of T-Rex, the model which is equipped with a camera preserves
its umbilical cord with the PC. The Vision Command is not able to dialogue
directly with the RCX. T-Rex which tackles in an autonomous way Stegosaure
advances as a blind man and attacks as soon as its sensor of contact reacts.
