This is kind of eerie. The final days of the MDP selection process has turned the robotics board into a ghost town. I expect a flurry of activity as soon as everybody has officially learned their results. One other possibility is that there are lots (...) (19 years ago, 27-Feb-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) At this point, I'm not sure if the process of getting people signed up is complete. (I don't even know if everyone has been contacted) However, I'm pretty sure you won't hear much about what the lucky 100 are doing for a couple months. Steve (19 years ago, 27-Feb-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Got an message Mon. Feb. 27/06 @ 17:09:00 -0000, this snow covered Calgary morning, originating from "...gbae01.corp.lego ...", that was a real downer , (but I do have a fast horse that I can get on now, and ride out of town ... no more (...) (19 years ago, 27-Feb-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Well, I'm mostly quiet because I'm just coming back from a set of robot games in Northern Indiana, where I was only able to enter two robots... and one of them didn't run at all due to a dead (& I mean DEAD) RCX. So anybody want to help out (...) (19 years ago, 27-Feb-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Brian, the battery clips are soldered onto the RCX's main board. A good solid jolt might have managed to unsolder one of them, or crack the corner of the board. JB (19 years ago, 27-Feb-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Mike, Like Brian, I've been out of town. I typically post most often in technic, but I read robotics and have been posting here since being invited to be a MUP 2. I've been very busy documenting the programming language for the NXT to help the (...) (19 years ago, 27-Feb-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Oh wow. I know I've pretty given up much hope though I haven't gotten any email either way (I figure todays the day for the "bummer" emails). From your last post Steve, it seemed that the 100 have already been chosen. Perhaps not? -aps (19 years ago, 28-Feb-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Bob Fay wrote a tutorial about that: (URL) probably the springs blades that make connection from batteries to RCX board are bent (See photo 4 of Bob tutorial). Though these blades are not normally soldered to the board (despite John's post (...) (19 years ago, 28-Feb-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) That was exactly it - the rear spring terminal, although it appeared fine, was evidently just barely bent too high by the impact. I removed the circuitboard, pushed both battery clips down slightly, and rebuilt the unit. It works! The power (...) (19 years ago, 28-Feb-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Oops! You're right Philo ;) Sorry. Going in and soldering them was one of my fixes for intermittent battery problems now I come to remember. Which then just leads you to the next problem which is when they unsolder again ....... JB (19 years ago, 28-Feb-06, to lugnet.robotics)
