Read the details about the "power Motor". Philo says that it requires
more
current than the RCX can supply.
The smaller geared motors have a much slower rpm at their output.

right, that's why i'm planning to have one rcx output drive a polarity
switch
that connects the power motor to a normal battery box / 9v adaptor without
current limiter.

I am trying to see this in my head. Your driving a polarity switch with a
motor and the switch will control the power motor? Is this on each axis? I
am thinking about the amount of time it will take to start and stop the
axes. How will you control the position of the polarity switch. Forward or
reverse is easy, but off is in between.
