I just want to add, that connecting a 6 or 9.6 Volt DC via alligator clips
hasn't yielded any reaction from the RCX (not even with the polarity
reversed). Luckily it still worked after these experiments...
I now want to try it with a 12 V (1.25 Amps) AC/DC converter, but I'm
convinced that alligator clips aren't going to be a durable solution.
So, does anybody have any tips on creating a dummy powerpack the shape of a
1.5 V battery?

What about a wooden dowel with a screw in the end to hold the wire?
