I like to use more motors than is necessary, so I like the AC. as well, it allows a person to use time, as a way to control things, (...) (21 years ago, 24-Aug-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Might I jump in here too? I don't have an AC enabled RCX so I'm stuck with battery power. But its not that terrible is it? I usually use rechargable alkalines. And then I put in fresh batteries on game day. For project X the energizer (...) (21 years ago, 24-Aug-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
