I don't really need it to be really precise, because, yes, the gear train is a
huge factor in a situation like that. I only built the gear train and I'm
using another rotation sensor as the reference for my controller. Depending on
the position I put the 2nd wheel, the controller should move the other one to
the same position. And for that it's working great. I know, I didn't have to
build the gear train for that, but I just wanted to try and see if it was
going to work. After all I just started playing with the RCX and now NQC...
And yep, Mauro, I'm brazilian... :o)
