The only thing that comes to mind is that the metal strips are acting like brushes to connect the power to the commutator of the motor. I opened one of mine and fear restrained me from entering too far. The battery connections are direct to the PC (...) (23 years ago, 11-May-02, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.microscout)

Liz, I was going to post a statement about everybody winning on my first post, but I couldn't word it nicely so I left it off. I should have tried harder. I noticed there seems to be someone on eBay buying out Robotics Discovery Sets. I think he's (...) (23 years ago, 11-May-02, to lugnet.robotics)

| | Microscout assembly?
|
|
One day, while there was nothing to do, I took apart my Microscout (came with the R2D2 droid development kit, or whatever). I had no idea how the motor assembly was connected to the rest of the unit, so this was probably a bad idea. Anyway, I took (...)

I didn't say anything was wrong with it. You win, someone who wants an extra RCX wins, someone who wants a pile of technic parts wins, and the seller wins! Even Lego wins, because they sold another Mindstorms system. Lego could win more by giving us (...) (23 years ago, 11-May-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(Accidentally replied to the poster, rather than the group earlier.) Yes, I understand what is being done... However, I already have 6 RIS 1.5 sets, complete with RCXs and tons of extra stuff, plus four 2.0 RCXs, so I didn't want the whole kit. The (...) (23 years ago, 11-May-02, to lugnet.robotics)
