(...) if there's enough space around you can add the rotation sensor on an auxiliary axle with an 8t gear, and an 24t gear on the direct drive axle. best, yaco\ (24 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)

David (and all), I don't blame lego for the problem. But I have my computer so tweaked (mostly to run varying simulations) that sometimes new software can through it out of wack.

(...) The original supplicant wanted to use rotation sensors - so I guess direct drive is out. I guess you can use an axle extender and use the sensor as a bearing - but you won't get a very precise position reading if you can only sense position (...) (24 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)

I recently purchased Vision Command from Target.Com. I own an aging machine (p-233, 64 ram, win ME) but one that stil suits my needs. Running Windows ME I thought that using USB devices would be no problem. I went through the install process, and (...) (24 years ago, 13-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)

I think the best solution is to use NO gears. Without the additional friction of the gears and axles through beams, the motors are surprisingly powerful. I have had very good experience with direct drive robots. I suggest that you experiment with (...) (24 years ago, 13-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) In general terms, worm gears are less efficient than standard gears as they have more inherent friction - essentially, driving a worm gear is like pushing something up an inclined slope. How much this translates into a lego system I have no (...) (24 years ago, 13-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)
