Re: Rechargeable batteries for the RCX
Unless you're putting some serious mileage on your RCXs, you might be able to get away with regular batteries. Where I'm working, our RCXs go the entire summer on one set (that's ten 70-minute activity periods, plus a bit more on final performance day) and we haven't had to change batteries once in two and a quarter summers. If you get some good batteries (my camera lasted through 23 hours on a train, BattleCry, Boston, and a lot of photography here in Maine--several hundred pictures--before getting the low-battery warning on Rayovac batteries), you might only need to change batteries once or twice.
You mileage, of course, may vary.

This forum is a really great tool to get people connected to the rest of FIRST communities, as well as a great place to learn from other people and share a little part of yourself. - Ken Leung [more]
