(...) That explains why the internal CyberMaster motors when running at speed 1 sometimes make the unit tremble fast, almost like if the motors were being turned off and on at high speed. The effect is more noticeable when the batteries are weak and (...) (26 years ago, 25-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)

I hooked up my amp meter to the lego motors that come with the Mindstorm and they were drawing <= 100 ma. If my readings were correct I would think any 9-12V transformer that is greater than 300ma would work with the Mindstorm. It is not the current (...) (26 years ago, 25-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
