I would try using one motor to drive and a ratchet on one of the wheels. Then when you go in reverse, you turn. Time the motor power setting and turn rate until you get a good 90 degree turn. The other way would be to use some kind of line (...) (27 years ago, 12-May-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Michael, If you only need to make right angle changes of direction how about a design where the robot does not turn. You could have one set of axles for forward/backward with 1 motor driving both sides so you go straight. Then to change direction a (...) (27 years ago, 12-May-99, to lugnet.robotics)
