I have a couple timing/handoff questions. First, when does a player's time start? Is it when the other robot/arbitrator presses the EOT button, or when they release it? Also, if a robot misses the EOT signal, will they lose right then, or will (...) (21 years ago, 26-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I've been wondering about this for a while, but if the final result does end up being a bit sluggish, or not quite powerful enough to drive over small pebbles, would it help to hook two drive motors up to each of the center wheels?

(...) Well, halfway there! I've replaced the middle tire assemblies with some stepped-down motors and attached them to the actual unit. The wires are threaded up through the guts of the structure and hooked up to the RCX. Success! It moves and moves (...) (21 years ago, 24-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)

Properly geared down, it may have enough oomph to move the (...) (21 years ago, 22-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Nik built a 6 wheel rocker bogie rover (unsteered and straight drive, not geared) with 6 micromotors. It works, sort of. But as soon as you get in a little trouble terrainwise, if a motor binds up, you're done for. Those motors bind easily and (...) (21 years ago, 22-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I saw a lot of discussion about the possibility, but didn't find where anybody had actually successfully done it. Now that BrickFest PDX (...)
