I couldn't possibly imagine a single solar cell powering an RCX. Maybe
an array of ten? The solar cell barely has the juice to drive the 5225
motor, and that's both under direct sunlight and under a 2 million
candlepower spotlight at 6 inches. To fully power an RCX, three output
ports at max and powered sensors, it would definitely take a whole
battery (no pun intended) of solar cells. The next time the sun comes
out here (grin) I'll take some output measurements with my voltmeter and
post some observed specs for the solar cell.
