| | | I used to regularly drive LEGO 9V motors at about 12V with no observed damage. I assume the increased power/torque would be proportional to the voltage, i.e. 33% more voltage gets you 33% more power/torque. However, I don't know how to get more than (...)

| | | | | (...) Have you actually tried this? I've taken both my RCX's (1.0 & 2.0) apart, but, while there is a 5V regulator for the MCU, I couldn't see any regulator for the motor outputs. This doesn't mean it isn't there, just that I couldn't find it if it (...) (23 years ago, 22-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | | Yes, I tried it. I don't know how the internals of the RCX work; all I know is I put 12V in, and got 9V out. -- Mark Haye, mhaye(at)tivoli(dot)com "Matthias Jetleb" <jetleb@netcom.ca> wrote in message news:3ab97dfc.301576...net.com... (...) (23 years ago, 23-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | Yes, but they used more prats then the RIS contains :/ They used two battery boxes to gain 18V using this coupling: (URL) had a motorcontrolled polarity switch to walk around the voltage limits in the RCX. /Tobbe (...) (23 years ago, 7-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)
