I am going to buy the RIS 2.0, but I am not quite sure if I should better buy the RIS 1.5.

(...) Thanks a lot, Rosco. I think I'm going to go with Stefano Prosseda's variation, which you also mention on your webpage (URL) clearly didn't quite understand the concept and now see how my design had way too many gears only to accomplish (...)

(...) snip (...) Here's yet another shrunken dual differential design. It uses worm gears to drive both differential housings as a space saving measure. This also the adds the feature (?) of a bit more gear reduction. There's a few pics of the (...) (23 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

(...) Excellent color coding in your pics. Regrettably, I have no practical advice. When I built the differential drive in Dave Baum's book, I was dumbfounded by the principle. I look forward to to seeing what is clearly a demanding project. - Kyle (23 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
