| | RcxCC Joystick controls
|
| Is there any way to make the joystick control of RcxCC2.0 work with just 1 motor. Some of us havn't had the $$$ to get a 3rd motor just yet. Even if I did have a 3rd, I'd use it for extra speed or some other gilley-friggy-thingy not yet thought of. (26 years ago, 7-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| Try using a Coke bottle w/small brass fitting siliconed in the cap. Secure it to the robot (invention) w/rubber bands for easy removal. It takes a while to fill it but that's a lot of air for use. Good luck. (26 years ago, 5-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
