I use an external battery pack whenever possible/practical. It has 8 (not 6) NiMh cells, providing a total of 9.6 volts. Works fine. Actually, it produces a little more power than ordinary batteries. You need a socket for external power on the RCX (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

As I said, they were $30 Canadian ($20 US). That's not too bad, particularly for the 6250 (Cross Bones Clipper). Anyone interested? -- Paul Davidson (25 years ago, 15-Jan-00, to lugnet.pirates)

I just moved back to the City and I was wondering if there were any "good" places around here for buying Lego stuff. The standard TRU, etc, are more expensive than the ones in the DC area. So - any tips on where to find good prices in NYC? Josh (25 years ago, 15-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ny.ny)
