Wow! look at this lego...
 
Looks at the video at the below website to see a really amazing multi-RCX robot that makes mini lego cars autonomously! :ahh:

It is absolutely incredible that someone programmed that many RCX's to work together! and little cars are pretty cool too!

Wowza!@... Using RCX kits too... Thats pretty awesome! I wonder if he participates in botball or something and what he used to program the RCXs because I highly doubt he used Robolab....

WOW!!! I can't believe that someone actually took hours (I would say at least 3 days worth) to program it to work in sync. Even with LEGOS it's very, very, impressive.

The programming wouldn't be all that difficult, at least on the part-gathering and early assembly stage. The hardest part would be aligning the IR sensors so that the RCXs could tell each other what parts are needed. It would take a while, though maybe not three days. Let's see here--1 for the carrier, 1 for the color selector, 1 for each dispenser (2 total), 1 for the first set of jaws, 1 for the assembler, 1 for the second set of jaws working with 1 for teh last set to control the whole thing...8 RCXs minimum, plus enough sensors to overload all of them. I'd say probably one of the C-> RCX programs out there.

What I want to know is where did he get so many legos and so much time???

Yeah he should contact the LEGO company and let them use it for a kit(and also make copies of the program as well) :) :) :)

That's really sweet, but why are there two threads about the same thing active right now?

That was amazing! I've never seen anything like that in my life.. Now im going to go make a station like this to build our FRC robot!
