I'm not sure how to grab data from the RCX with the 'standard' tools. However... as much as I am for wild statistical analysis with a computer, the easiest solution might be to just use one of those cool LEGO differential axels. Put one motor on each end and if the third axel spins, then you know they motors don't match. You can even put the rotation sensor on the third axel and write a software program that runs each level for 10 or 15 seconds and checks the third axel. Have it beep 'bad' if the motors don't match. Best of all, this is something your FLLers can handle with the standard software! Sorry I couldn't be of any help for doing it the 'cool' way ----- Matthew Ruschmann http://matthew.ruschmann.net
