Hi everybody... I was wondering if anybody has investigated attaching more powerful motors to the RCX. Can anybody tell me (before I bother finding out myself) how to rig up a more powerful motor by getting the RCX output to control some sort of (...) (27 years ago, 15-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

What's New? Not much of anything, a whole lot of fanfare for no real new info (except maybe the 8450 Mission Technic set).

  Lego.com - new look
