Yeah, damn cool, but the issues are:
- - Can Waba interface with IR?
- - How much space do the Java programm need to do it's job.
Easiest thing would be - if RCX and Newton can talk over IR - would be
to telnet into RCX with Forth on it.
Can you tell me which Java program that is?

Don't know if it's the same thing, but the article I'm referring to ( I
will research it, when I have some time, which is not now), the Newton
2x00 was used to directly control some motor to -IIRC- steer the ship.
