Dan,
Really cool. I have integrated some LEGO computer control into a train layout
as well. It is great to see others doing the same. I tried to get some
discussions going on .RCX a long time ago but to no avail. I have used both
the RCX and the Decta Control Lab (8 inputs & outputs!). The Control Lab is a
hundred times (OK 2.7x) cooler than the RCX w.r.t. # of sensors! Only thing is
the lack of alternative programming environments!
On rotating the video:
All sarcasm aside. Being a firm believer of the KISS method... How about re-
shooting the dogbone with the camera back to the normal "this way up"
position. Maybe use a different angle to maximize the coverage wrt framing the
shot?
