I don't see any reason why not to try it ;-) Off the top of my head, I can tell you that an RCX loaded with batteries is fairly heavy - maybe you'll need more springs and to pay carfeul attention to balance.

| | | | | I just thought of an idea, haven't had time to try it out but here it is. What if you were to have a sliding worm gear that would wind the arm up when the motor was powered forward and release it when the motor was powered reverse. Like I said, just (...)
