 | | Question regarding motors
|
|
In regards to the two motors included in the standard Mindstorms set, is it possible for one to turn faster than the other? I think I may be experiencing that... Any answers would be helpful. Thanks in advance. Bryan (25 years ago, 29-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Light: Hard to get accurate, repeatable measurements. If light level changes, requires recalibration. (...) (25 years ago, 29-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.trains)
