A truely ingenious little mechanism. I wonder if mechanical engineers in the real world ever get jealous of how easy it is for us Lego world engineers to do such rapid prototyping. ... and in reply to Ralph's comment, who was the famous figure who (...) (25 years ago, 23-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)

I use Ray-O-Vac Rechargeable Alkaline batteries and their special charger in my RCX with great results. I only seem to recharge them every few weeks and then they have lots left in them. The charger seems to charge each (of 4) individually, the (...) (25 years ago, 23-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)
