SumoBot - "Snap Crackle and Pop" video1 - Communication Test

did you find that the slight lag from one robot responding to the other became a more serious problem as you started writing larger progrAMS?

not in Sumo, as the robots were all geared for torque the opponent was always moving slowly, as was mine, so the lag wasn't much of a problem in here. In a higher speed application it might affect you, as you have no direct control over the way the RCXs communicates; you have a choice of so many numbers, you transmit it, other RCX units that recieve it store it in a memory location associated with the IR link and then that RCX will have to check that memory location for the number recieved.
