Hi Michael and everybody, I'm working on a robot (for my book) that uses a single motor to go forward and turn in place. I'm using a directional transmission, based on Michael Powell's original design: (URL) use the outputs of the directional (...) (27 years ago, 12-May-99, to lugnet.robotics)

I do not believe Znap is available yet in the States. When you go to Lego.com, and click on "Country", and check the Catalog for North America, you will see it's not in the inventory - it's only in the catalog for Europe/Africa. Confusing, as I went (...) (27 years ago, 12-May-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
