Maybe having an option to control the RCX with the directional arrows on
the keyboard would be cool! (A joystick's cooler, but my damn laptop
doesn't have a joystick port :P) Hehe...

I don't see how to drive and steer with only one motor. Although there
is a trick that is also used in cheap remote controlled cars: They drive
forwards in a straight line and backwards with a turn. This is rather
easy to construct with MindStorms.

If you have something else in mind, please let me know and I will try t
incorporate it.

Is there any way to make the joystick control of RcxCC2.0 work with just 1
motor. Some of us havn't had the $$$ to get a 3rd motor just yet. Even if I
did have a 3rd, I'd use it for extra speed or some other
gilley-friggy-thingy not yet thought of.
