Go to Post It's kind of magical how I went from legos to replacing most of the iron in my blood with aluminum, and all thanks to my elementary school science teacher. - Astrokid248 [more]

What does it take to brick an RCX (no pun intended)?

I'm wondering this. Does anyone have any experience with making an RCX quit working? I'm working with a bunch of kids again this summer, and the eight we've used have all survived with no ill effects, but now I'm getting paranoid as we start to maximize the use of ours. A dead RCX would be rather hard to fix mid-camp without a replacement, but the replacement is pointless if we don't really need it..

So, has anyone busted an RCX? What does it take to do it?
