Wow! I hope LegOS has the option to use On and Float too. I was planning on
migrating to LegOS soon, but if it does On and Brake, it is to be avoided.
That technique simply burns battery power!

(...) Oh, it probably does have that option; if nothing else, you can change the code to do it that way. I simply find the ON/BRAKE modulation to be more useful, so haven't bothered looking for an alternative. - Alex (25 years ago, 26-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)
