I've built a robot with a rotation sensor that keeps track of the position
of the steering wheels. If you gear up this movement a bit it gets accurate
enough to keep the wheels straight. You need to add a calibration routine to
your program to find out the full left/right positions and assume the
straight position is in the centre.

Doesn't solve your turning problem....

I'm building an RCX robot that maps the house with some help from the
computer. My problem is this: I need to create a car that will drive • perfectly
straight and also be able to make precise turns without having to move • forward
while turning. I have 2 motors, and 1 light sensor, and 2 touch sensors. • Can
anyone think of a way to do this?

Thanks!
