Would someone please point me toward a page with a LEGO hexapod. I think it would be a great RCX project, but I need some ideas. Thanks, - - - Nick - - - -- Did you check the web site first?: (URL) (27 years ago, 7-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Is there any way to make the joystick control of RcxCC2.0 work with just 1 motor. Some of us havn't had the $$$ to get a 3rd motor just yet. Even if I did have a 3rd, I'd use it for extra speed or some other gilley-friggy-thingy not yet thought of. (27 years ago, 7-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
