Well, I went with separate h-bridge to maintain PWM and it turns out that even though the motors are geared down, they still don't have enough torque to haul around all the batteries. Looks like I'll stick with 9v motors... Thanks for the (...) (26 years ago, 20-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hey why use the palm pilot? You could use the color gameboy :) I mean it has a IR port on the top. The only problem is the fact that it uses cartridges :( If anyone can make a cartridge, then there is (or at least used to be) a section on (...) (26 years ago, 20-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
