I just picked up Mindstorms on Thursday. Today, I noticed that output A in reverse is significantly weaker running a motor than it is running the motor forward. I've tried this with more than one motor and also compared it to that of output C. Is (...) (25 years ago, 1-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)

It looks like output C is the only one that performs fine in both directions. Has any one else run (...) (25 years ago, 1-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)
