| | | Just use the bottom half of the mouse, trimmed as much as possible, as a skid plate. It will need to be mounted to allow vertical movement, but it should work alright. This wouldn't solve the spin issue, but the clearance shouldn't be a problem. A (...) (22 years ago, 1-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics)

That type of drive has three degrees of freedom (well - it *ought* to have (...) (22 years ago, 9-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics)

Since I already know quite a lot about how tedious it is to get data (...) (22 years ago, 9-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics)

I don't think anyone has actually *tried* this yet - but it's still worth discussing the *other* issues since we wouldn't want to go to the hassle of ripping apart mice until it's evident that it *could* work.
