Depends how hard you want to work. With LegOS or pbForth, which replace the
official firmware, you can program the hardware at the machine level, so you
can do very advanced stuff. With NQC (or RoboLab) you're still limited by
Lego's firmware, so it's not as powerful. (For example, with NQC, you're
limited to 32 variables.)

Use something other than the RCX Code program!

You get a certain number of "threads" which can be happening at the same
time. It's very useful, but you have to think a lot about conflicts between
the various things you've got going on.
