Hi,

Did anyone try to build a bot with the capability of recharging its
rechargable batteries? I wonder if it is possible. Can you recharge the
batteries when they are still with in the RCX?
I want to try this without blowing up my RCX. My both should wander • around, and
when its battery status is low it should go to the light source where it
can recharge its batteries, untill 99%. With this no over-charging would • occur.

Sadly, LEGO made the Battery status not avail to the BOT. Only to a PC. • Maybe in
the new firmware update they will fix this oversight. That and allow • programming of
the Display counter with vars...
