| | | | | (...) Actually the motor control chips in the RCX limit the current, which will limit the maximal power that can be drawn from a port. I don't know how many motors it takes (I'd guess one) to reach the limit, but from then on extra motors will not (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics)
