Sheer awesomeness! I knew I could count on your guys for the answer and the
workaround. Though it's not ideal to have to use the battery box, it's
nonetheless a great workaround. Maybe LEGO will release a V2.0 connector that
allows us to eliminate the battery box. We can dream, right?
I'll give this a go tonight when I get home from work and see how things go.
Thanks again to everyone for the great links and the quick responses.
