(...) Well, we've talked a bout this quite a lot over the past month or so - and as I'm sure others will say - you can't guarantee that all motors have identical speeds - and it's known that the motors spin slightly faster "forwards" than (...) (25 years ago, 28-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Hi Robert, I think that ROBOLAB only is running with PowerPC macs. If you want to realise Lego robots with an older mac you have to do this with NQC. NQC is fat and runs with both PowerPC and 68000 macs. Ralf (25 years ago, 28-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics)
