| | | (...) This is bound to be a multiple RCX contest. Having to keep fresh batteries for testing and the actual events is a pain (sometimes access to the RCX can be difficult). We could say that if you are having a contest with a robot that does (...) (21 years ago, 24-Aug-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

LOOK, I have a few motors -- much like project X. (over 8) and if my robot is (...) (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)

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)

And yeah, you’d be nuts to have an RCX with no batteries in it...one blip and its no operating system and no program. And then the worst calamity of all...having Calum yelling (...)

You can't blame that on an unreliable power source - your machine should be able to operate reliably under all (...) (21 years ago, 25-Aug-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
