Mindstorms Connector Cable
As I mentioned in a previous post, my lego mindstorms wires have disintegrated (I mean the rubber insulation)… and some wires are broken… So, that means I am not able to connect all four motors to my RCX at the same time…. As these parts are no longer sold by Lego (superseded by the Mindstorms NXT), I thought my robot building ambition is going to die an early death.. luckily, I found a way to save my broken wire… A bit troublesome for me, but I guess I’ll give it a try eventually (or get my dad to help)…
In addition, I also managed to find the parts on ebay… First time I love ebay soooo much…
I just ordered 4 new wires…. Hope they’ll arrive soon and be in perfect working condition… then I can start building my ‘Optimus Prime’ soon… hahaha….
You can also still find cables, sensors and part for Mindstorms RCX sets at the Lego Education Store. Here’s the URL for the cables:

Thanks a lot… found the wires I needed… very relieved that RCX is not absolutely obsolete…
