OK. Take a NXT brick and turn it over. Have a closer look at its
underside. You'll notice a curious breakout in the casing of the battery
pack. It has the right size for a little coaxial power plug like the one
used for the 9V trains. All it takes would be a replacement lid for the
battery pack, one that includes the socket and the contacts that connect
directly to the right battery contacts in the case.
There are two variations of this scenario possible: Either its a dumb
wall socket power supply, and the electronics included in the battery
lid, or its a more intelligent wall wart, and just socket and contacts
in the lid.
Yours, Christian
