Although the speculation is that you might burn out the rectifier if you try
to draw too much current for too long. See:
http://news.lugnet.com/robotics/rcx/?n=2403
As to what it will take, right on the RCX it lists the input as 9-12V(squiggle),
where the (squiggle) is generally taken to be AC. Spare LEGO AC power supplies
can be bought from Pitsco here in the States.

| (...) The 1.0 RCX's run nicely on the train regulator's AC cube which puts out 9+ volts AC. (You could also run DC into the RCX if you like, since there's an on-board full wave bridge rectifier). -Ted (20 years ago, 1-Sep-04, to lugnet.robotics)
