I have half a mind to build a LEGO-compatible 9V battery holder just to • try
some tiny vehicle designs. Without an RCX you can't make it do much, but • it
would still be really fun to build small Technic models powered by a 9V • battery
and a micromotor. With four small wheels, some gears and a polarity switch • the
whole thing could still fit in a volume about 10 x 6 x 4 SLU's, which • isn't
even as big as the RCX!

Lego already makes a compatible 9v battery holder.  It used to come with
their town "sound and lights" sets (I don't know if these exist anymore).  I
wouldn't be surprised if it could be ordered through a service pack.

(...) Yup, that would be 5391, for $5.50 from Shop-At-Home in the US. This battery box is also a good base for various electronics projects. It conveniently includes a 2x6 connector strip on the top. Tilmn -- Did you check the web site first?: (URL) (25 years ago, 4-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) This is the same battery holder that is in the ZNAP sets. Stuart -- Did you check the web site first?: (URL) (25 years ago, 5-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)
