I uploaded a video (with some stills in it) of a Power-Functions remote controlled car. It uses a dual-differential drive so that it can go straight well.

(...) At a glancing angle (not approaching the wall "head on" at 90°, but at an angle) very little sound energy will be reflected back towards the sensor. If there isn't enough energy reflected back for the sensor to "hear" the echo, it won't detect (...) (17 years ago, 22-Dec-07, to lugnet.robotics)

Hello! That's a nice way to present your sets. Usually you just see them displayed in showcases or display-staircases or the like. That way the sets are hardly relating to each other. You however show a real Castle world. I like that. Bye Jojo (17 years ago, 22-Dec-07, to lugnet.events, lugnet.castle, lugnet.space)

Brian, It works fantastic. Thanks. Now I've put 2 US Wait blocks. The 1st one to slow down for < 30cm and the 2nd one to turn for < 20cm. This works pretty well when the vehicle runs ~90 degree toward the wall. But when the angle is flat it only (...) (17 years ago, 22-Dec-07, to lugnet.robotics)

I went to the Toys-R-Us store and purchased some of the new LEGO Indiana Jones Sets. Set #7620 (Motor Cycle Chase) that would normally retail for $9.99, sold for $10.99. Set #7622 (Race for the Stolen Treasure) retailed for $30.99, and Set #7621 (...) (17 years ago, 22-Dec-07, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Good point, Philo. I did not choose very good wording here. What I meant was that, as a DC motor, there is no "hot" terminal and no "neutral" terminal. Therefore, you cannot hook it up wrong and damage it. I'll go back and see if I can clean (...) (17 years ago, 21-Dec-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

Hi Blakbird, Little note about 4.5V motor: when you say "The motor is DC, so polarity is not important."... precisely since it is a DC motor, polarity IS important, rotation direction depends on it... Philo (17 years ago, 21-Dec-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
