I have finally found a tiny solenoid valve for use with the RCX.  It fits

voltage stop).  It's really neat.  Did I mention it fits into a 2x4 brick?

Was it these valves ?

If not, they seem intersting, but I have no information about cost, availibility, efficency with RCX. I just found that
in a magazine.
