The current API masks this somewhat, as the call to stop sets the power level to 7. -- Jürgen Stuber <stuber@loria.fr> http://www.loria.fr/~stuber/

As I recall it, it was the same program with the light sensor actived all the (...) (23 years ago, 9-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

		Difference in motorspeed when activating lightsensor!
Hi there, I've just been playing around with a vehicle with a motor for each of the two main wheels. If I don't load the RCX with anything else than these two motors and set their respective speeds to 0 and 7, it drives in a nice circle with a small (...)
