Not that I know of. I wanted to do this years ago when I first got
Mindstroms and quickly realized that I needed either a rotation sensor or
a servo motor in order to turn each wheel a precise angle. Since that
time there have been numerous contributions on both rotation sensors and
(I think) servo motors. Check the archives.
Do let me know if you try this project. I've always wanted a real logo
turtle, back from when LOGO was rising as an ideal learning language (pre
Papaert's Mindstorms) and has lasted far beyond LOGO's crash.
Good luck, Ralph M. Deal (retired prof. of phys. chem.)
