I thought it was called a 'synchro' base. Anyway, yes, very cool. I tried
building one without the turntables, but I lost my motivation. It is possible
to do it with those fancy dark grey gears though... By the way Iain, whats your
beef with killough?? I think its pretty darn cool. Sucks how it uses three
motors though. I thought about doing a pseudo-killough, which would really be
AB steering with some killough style wheels at the back to act as a caster.
(this is probably what Calum was talking about with the robot on TLC). Killough
killough killough, how many more times can I say killough?
