This is my first venture into lugnet.robotics, so excuse me if this has been
asked and answered before (I normally frequent lugnet.cad).

The RCX my son received for Christmas seems to have a problem with the low
battery indicator - it comes on with brand new batteries, but can successfully
run the built-in programs. When we download the firmware, it refuses to stay
active - presumably the firmware is detecting and reacting to the false
indicator. If we unload the firmware, it still runs the builtin programs. Has
anyone else experienced and/or resolved this?
