(...) at (...) matter (...) Huh? Say I only use AA batteries (1.5V) How will I use the same number of batteries for a 4.5V, a 9V, and a 12V system? You need more batteries to get the higher voltage (or a step-up transformer to raise the voltage, but (...) (22 years ago, 2-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I don't mean that you'll plug the same number into the battery box - I mean that over a year of use, the TOTAL number of batteries that you'll consume will be about the same. (...) Yes - but in this hypothetical nightmarish world, there would (...) (22 years ago, 2-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Well, I guess - but the Spybotics firmware wouldn't know how to drive the extra motor - unless it replaced one of the built-in motors which would then be 'dead weight'. I think you'd have to be pretty desperate to want to do that...especially (...) (22 years ago, 2-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I think that Technic parts constitute a very comprehensive "mechanical prototyping" system. You can go through 100 alternate robot structural designs in the time it'd take you to try one in a machine shop! I have already investigated a number (...) (22 years ago, 2-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) There are 7 outputs used to drive the Spybot LEDs. These are each individually programmable with the existing firmware. These outputs could easily be hacked to control additional motors using an external 9V battery box and some simple (...) (22 years ago, 3-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics)
