I'd get an NXT for less money on eBay. Won a bid for an NXT for 181 US and a shipping charge of 25 bucks to Canada So total Canadian cost--240 that's about 100 bucks (without taxes) cheaper than retail. Go me! :) Dave K (18 years ago, 13-Feb-07, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Oh yes! it can steer when going forward. With the current gearing though, it spins out. I should try to drive the adder/subtractor input with an 8-tooth gear rather than the current 24 to slow the turning rate down. Though I suppose I couldn't (...)

(...) Nice! Can it steer while also moving forward, or does the switch work with just a 3-position action (turn right/go straight/turn left)? Could you also use 3 12-tooth gears for the side opposite the 2 24-tooth gears, or did you use the 2 (...) (18 years ago, 6-Feb-07, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.technic)
