(...) Why not universalize the standard so that a module that can turn must be configurable to turn either to the left or the right? A few ways this could be done are movable output stages, EG a sliding or drop-in output that can be placed where (...) (21 years ago, 10-Jan-05, to lugnet.robotics)

Found this folder on Brickshelf: (URL) I don't usually like to steal other people's thunder, but that is a sweet model. Looks like it's based on a BE1250-W. Anyone know who built it? If you're lurking, please de-lurk now! ROSCO (21 years ago, 10-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Actually, it's pretty interesting, if you consider how complex making a pair of turns really is. If you make a 90 degree right hand turn on a 32x32 baseplate, the module must output right next to it's own input. But, bins on a left-hand turn (...) (21 years ago, 10-Jan-05, to lugnet.robotics)
