I had trouble viewing it before too, but I thought I'd give it a try again. When I click on it to view it in the browser, I get an icon with a torn piece of film, which indicates to me it can't play it. So I right clicked and saved it to disk, and (...) (23 years ago, 11-May-02, to lugnet.robotics)

Hi Liz B, The movie you tried to download is a 3.3meg MOV quicktime movie. Did you have trouble with the download or playing the movie.

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.

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...

Seems to me that the BEST implementation of the RCX would be for some CORE changes and feature sets to be built in. I realize that these would be somewhat expensive, but I would pay pretty good money to have an RCX with the following specs (built (...) (23 years ago, 10-May-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I've seen those. I think what someone does is buys a mindstorms set, and breaks it up into these parts: - 2.0 upgrade stuff (CD, IR tower, instructions, and test pad) ($20 to $40) - RCX ($80 to $100) - Non-electric stuff (the legos) ($50 to $75) I (...) (23 years ago, 10-May-02, to lugnet.robotics)
