of wheels; hopefully to be done only electrically.
Does anybody know of any sites with this type of setup?

TIA,

Hi David, I have built a robot that does this for a university 'robot maze solver' project. My solution is big, ugly, very slow and pretty complex. It could probably be improved a lot if it was redesigned. However, it uses 3 motors (1 for (...) (23 years ago, 12-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)
