Matthias, this is easy to do without a new part. You use a normal
differential, put one shaft in one side, the other shaft (but reversed) in
the other and connect the rotation sensor to the output. You get a positive
count if the right wheel is going faster and a negative count if slower.
However, a differential with a reverse feature on one input would be great.

| (...) Yes - but if you've been following the discussions about dropped counts, you'll know that the standard rotation sensor is pretty inaccurate when you set it up like that. It likes nice *fast* rotation rates. (24 years ago, 28-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)
