| I too was there during the contest though I was not one of the participants. I would like to add that the fire-fighting contest was the very first robot event I have been to. Now I plan to go to some of the other ones this year. Now I know why quite (...) (27 years ago, 23-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Re: Power Usage of RCX

| (...) As you draw power out of a battery, its voltage will start to decay. Usually this is specified as some sort of discharge curve of battery voltage vs. time under a constant load. Each type of battery has different characteristics, but assuming (...) (25 years ago, 12-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)
