First of all, to Gaff: I also think it is desirable to work within the LEGO
system, and I don't consider my mind 'sick and twisted'.

To Paul: Try running a wire from the RCX power output, to your motor, and
also to an RCX sensor input. I think you can measure the power draw on the
motor, if it goes too high you can guess that it has stalled.
RCXs are cool... :-)
