Very interesting.  Perhaps there is some plan to sell the NXT with a power
adapter for the educational sets.  Currently the RCXs that are with those Team
Challenge Sets have the power adaptors.  (It makes sense in a classroom to be
able to plug these things in and have them working for all your students
without
worrying if the batteries need to be replaced)


And a large portion of the current RCX in education use is as a data
logger, not a mobile robotics platform.  In this configuration, AC is
a definite requisite.

If they intend to offer a functional equivalent in the NXT
(educational) then an AC adapter would be necessary there, too.

Hopefully it will not be specifically tied to education, but merely an add-on
option.

The educational press release says that the educational set will have an AC
adapter for its rechargeable battery system:

(...) "Rechargeable battery system" may still require take the battery out. But hopefully, we can recharge while it is in the unit. Thanks for the link. It had a "Soccer" robot and hints at redeveloping the engineering and scientific inquiry (...) (18 years ago, 12-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)
