(...) Yes! In the old days before the black ones appeared, making and bracing large structures with the grey pins was "interesting" as said structures would be prone to an incredible amount of rattle and cumulative flexibility. The black pins really (...) (24 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) They still allow rotation, albeit with some friction. I think the point of the black pegs is that they don't have any slack for movements other than rotation, unlike the grey ones. Jürgen (24 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I agree, I think that is the difference between black & grey. I don't think there's significant difference in friction between "slotted" and "un-slotted" black pins, but they do (both kinds) allow some rotation, just not as much as the grey (...) (24 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

Hi Chris, Do a search for "CM-RCX Comm" thread, in lugnet.robotics :) That's (still) my main current project. It works. It's possible to make a CM and a RCX communicate with each other through "eletric" (or light but I didn't test the input through (...) (24 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
