  Re: RCX and batteries
 
(...) I don't know how those terms are defined. (...) I use NiMH's - they work just fine - but obviously they don't have the capacity of disposable batteries - I'd estimate that they run out in about a quarter the time that disposables do...but (...) (23 years ago, 24-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: RCX and batteries
 
(...) The stalling current of the Lego geared motors is about 250 mA. LIghtly loaded they approach zero. (...) NiMH last about half as long as alkaline. We get ours from ThomasDistributing.com and they now have 1800 mAh AAs. Bruce (23 years ago, 24-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  RCX and batteries
 
Is the RCX considered a "high-drain" or "moderate-drain" device? If one is using the motors, I'd almost say yes, but how does frequency of use factor into this? Is anyone using rechargeable NiMH batteries in their RCX? What kind of performance to (...) (23 years ago, 24-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics)

  Problem with DIY Spybotics SDK...
 
I've followed the instructions in this post: (URL) don't see a "Spybot" option under the Brick selection in ScriptEd. I'm running Win2K, but that shouldn't have anything to do with it... or could it? Thanks, Rob (23 years ago, 24-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics)

  Re: Helicopter was Re: Newbie has an idea
 
In general, I don't know how to use the list of inventions on mindstorms.lego.com. All I get is the idea that yeah someone did this and that. No discussions on the issues: how it was done, problems solved, etc, no details. I guess for that you have (...) (23 years ago, 23-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics)

Hallo I´ve just heart that the Mindstorm Series will be stoped for the sake of the spybot? Is this true, if yes we just have to start a fight for the survival of our RCX Sascha (23 years ago, 23-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: articulation points?
 
All this talk of articulation points reminds me of an actual splined robot. Basically, it was a series of convex circles through which ran a series of wires, with a space in the middle for a spray hose or pressure cleaning equipment to pass through. (...)

  Re: On LEGO Compressors & Pump Testing
 
(...) Er, it's hard to tell just by looking at the picture. Besides it's kinda dark and blurry. I see a lot of gears (linking the two motors?) and can just make out the 4 small pumps. How about separating the two motors so you get two independent (...) (23 years ago, 23-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)
