One slight clarification. The 2 push buttons that control one of the motors
both turn the motor on, but in different directions. Also, one nice thing
about the joystick is that it has 8 different positions, allowing you to
control the two motors at the same time.
The AC Adapter that came with my set (and I think all sets) is for Europe, but
the same adapter that works with the RCX also works with the control pad.
