Assuming the robot is being used self-powered (versus with AC adapter),
would there be benefit in modifying the RCX to run off a single 9 volt
versus all those AA's? That would save quite a bit of weight. :)
Doing this wouldn't be "Lego pure" of course & the single battery
wouldn't last long. But for sheer acceleration any weight that can be
shaved off is a Good Thing.
