Unless I am missing something here, the Sharp range of IR distance sensors all have power consumptions in the 35mA range, which prohibits their use with the RCX unless you resort to using external power packs. How do you propose getting around this (...) (25 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)
