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 (...) (19 years ago, 2-Feb-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

I've been thinking about putting together a maze robot for NEIRG. Last night it went from "thinking" to "doing" as I built a prototype. Now I'm wondering, how do I test thing thing?

Steve, Have you popped in the CD that came with it? Maybe something in there will at least give us a shot at figuring out what GPS chipset it is using. I'd be interested in knowing the specs for it. John (19 years ago, 23-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
