While searching around recently for information on ROBOLAB I found this URL
that lists available products for purchase. One that caught my eye was a
case, called waterproof housing, to use the RCX underwater (it is the last
item at the bottom of the page found at this URL:
http://www.teachers.ash.org.au/dbrown/robolab/availr.htm).
Has anyone on the list ever used this? I would assume you would have to
encase the RCX, use the longest black wires with connector plates and build
your robot from there. But what value is it if only RCX can go underwater?
I would think that the motor could operate underwater unless it was
encased so why have the RCX submersed? Has anyone seen any robots built
using this thing? Thanks.
