(...) I did exactly the same thing today, and found I needed a figure of about twenty to acheive reliable back and forth motion. I think it may be something to do with the fact that the rcx firmware(s) will not let you switch motor direction (...) (20 years ago, 23-Dec-04, to lugnet.robotics)

The behavior you've experienced is expected. Standard Lego firmware implements a 100 msec delay when you directly "flip" or change powered motor direction. I expect it is a bug (rather than design intent) that if you go through the stage (...) (20 years ago, 23-Dec-04, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I don't think this is a bug in the original firmware, but rather a protection against burning electronics parts in the RCX or dammaging motors flipping the motor directions too rapidly. Motors present some interesting electronics behaviour due (...) (20 years ago, 24-Dec-04, to lugnet.robotics)
