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)
