Well, after a little looking around on Lugnet & googling "RCX internals" I found that one problem when people take apart RCXs is that a small surface mount fuse on the board is blown. After poking around with my el-cheapo test light, I found that (...) (19 years ago, 5-Feb-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) I wonder how many "possessed" RCXs there are out there. I've got at least one as well (currently in a line-follower) - it's newest symptom is briefly powering OUT_A when I try to run a program via the remote (same program run via the "run" (...)

Some of you may have been aware of my "posessed" rcx. It was a little screwed up. When I powered it on, sometimes it would just start up motor output A for no reason at all. It would run motor A indefinitly if I let it. Sometimes running a program (...) (19 years ago, 4-Feb-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

Thanks for the suggestions/advise guys. I remembered the concerns about the uneven surface, but had not thought of the surface friction causing problems. I will have to think some more about how to overcome that. One other inquiry. Does anybody know (...) (19 years ago, 2-Feb-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

I've been thinking about putting together a maze robot for NEIRG. Last night it went from "thinking" to "doing" as I built a prototype. Now I'm wondering, how do I test thing thing?
