Hi,
I'll try and find the code and grab a picture of the bot at the
weekend. I'm snowed under at the minute with a progress report on my
university project. I don't have the code to hand at the minute
as it's on an old computer that I use for Mindstorms stuff. The code
itself is not more complicated that the pseudo listing I gave you,
nothing like what Steve wrote for the Legway. I'll also try and take a
few small mpegs to stik on the web of it doing it's stuff.

As I was stuck home yesterday by a sore throat, I had plenty of time to build a
legway clone that works quite well using an adapted version of your generic
code. I choose to ease the problem by lowering center of gravity (I put the
bottom of RCX between the motors, not above) so it balances well even with
non-optimal light conditions.
I'll try to post some videos and code in the near future...
Philo
