(...) You can use the angled gray axle connectors to connect the axle ends together. It looks like a 120 degree one would work, and that should remove bounce if you have fewer wheels. What exactly is the point of having a wheel shaped like this? (...) (24 years ago, 11-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Thanks, Jen. I'll have a go at it. (...) Well, I was just thinking to what extent you could take the pressure sensor device. Actually, most of my own creations don't use the RCX. And they're mostly powered by the manually operated hand pump. (24 years ago, 10-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic, lugnet.build, lugnet.dacta)

(...) Although I've made no empirical tests, I've had the best results with Duracell Ultra in the RCX. I've never used Energizer Titaniums in an RCX before, but I have used them in a pair of Motorola T6300 two-way FRS radios, and noticed no (...) (24 years ago, 10-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)
