I've got at least one as well (currently in a line-follower) - it's newest symptom is briefly powering OUT_A when I try to run a program via the remote (same program run via the "run" (...)

(...) What will happen if you hit a big (1/4 inch) bump in the wall? Will it stop you? The walls are very smooth. But, there are places where they join together.

Thanks for the suggestions/advise guys. I remembered the concerns about the uneven surface, but had not thought of the surface friction causing problems. I will have to think some more about how to overcome that. One other inquiry. Does anybody know (...) (20 years ago, 2-Feb-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
