I've completed a syncro drive model to be RCX controlled and have encountered an
unexpected barrier.  The model's drivetrain was tested using a battery box (6
AAs) and works fine.  But when I try to drive it with the RCX it doesn't have
enough power to move.  The batteries in the RCX are new - in fact, I moved them
from the RCX to the battery box to verify they could do the job, and they did.

Any ideas on getting more power from the RCX?

WEs, I'm unclear about your problem. Are you using the MIndstorms type motors?? Others? What current do your motors draw, at what voltage? (25 years ago, 7-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I don't know if this idea is applicable to your model, but you could use one motor attached to the RCX (...) (25 years ago, 8-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
