  Re: Meeting ideas
 
I'm willing to give a couple of presentations. What sort of presentations does everyone want to have? I'm starting to dig into the internals of the RCX, standard firmware and NQC. Does anyone want a presentation on that? I think the important part (...) (22 years ago, 25-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.us.smart)
 
  Re: Meeting ideas

  Re: Technic part that allows powered steering
 
(...) The set listed on Amazon is <set:8465> Extreme Off-Roader, the price is full retail ($40).

  Technic part that allows powered steering
 
For those who went to the SMART meeting on Saturday, I showed a robot frame I was working on ((URL) would allow wheels to be steered and powered at the same time.
