I am curious to know why you think you would need to amplify the RCX motor outputs? The Lego motors are very efficient under no load. But the bridge drivers in the RCX seem to cope with the stalled state (about 250mA). Unless you are going to use (...) (26 years ago, 15-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

I would like to see an RCX control a really fast RC car. It would be cool to see it pilot it flawlessly around a circle track. (...) Joel Shafer joel@connect.net (26 years ago, 15-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Thats great Gary, This was the same conclusion that I'd come to myself, however I've now run into another problem with the otherwise brilliant 'D12 sensor. I'm currently using the Digitalker speech system from Jameco, and when the 'D12 is plugged in (...) (26 years ago, 14-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I've always assumed the material is polystyrene, probably a modified resin for impact resistance. You could basically eat this stuff, it's used for plastic forks, etc, but I wouldn't smoke it ;>) As to motors, several folks including myself, have (...) (26 years ago, 15-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Hi there, I'm just back from a sneak view on the brand new Lego site. I noticed that it's now possible to order the rotation sensor as a spare part. My question is: can someone explain me how the sensor is build-up internally ? (did anyone open such (...) (26 years ago, 15-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

There may or may not be a free shuttle but my advice is learn the T. Even if you're only in town for a weekend, it's a much better way to go. Plus the trains are much tighter headings than the 1/2 hour heading a shuttle is likely to be on. A cab (...)
