We had an informal Robo-Sumo thing at my work place tonight and I'm wondering if I killed my RCX. My 'bot had two gearmotors on A and two more on C to drive the wheels. Could they have drawn enough current when the 'bot was stalled to harm the RCX ? It was stalled (no wheels spin) and I could hear the PWM buzz. Even with fresh batteries it crawls now : ( Any thoughts ?

I presume you did all the usual things: Clean the RCX terminals, try other motors, check for unusual friction in the drivetrain (like, something is out of adjustment) ...etc? Jerry (...) (22 years ago, 15-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
