(...) I'd say go for it. Ultimate Builders set has an extra motor, a touch sensor and some pneumatics, and the projects are also nice, though only on CD.

(...) Ahhh. I see your point now. Independent of what the back wheels are doing, you still want a bias in the front wheel itself to go straight rather than spinning in place. Otherwise, all the power could just as easily spin the front wheel in (...) (23 years ago, 30-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics)
