I don't see the problem. The Joystick in RcxCC deals with this without
any problem. Use the drive-steer mode and choose the correct driving and
steering motor and you can remotely control the car from the computer.
(Drive-steer is not available in the stand-alone version that I put on
the web-page. Maybe that was your problem.)
This is exactly what I do with one of my models. (And then I have the
third motor to shoot a ball. I wrote a small task to switch this motor
on. Now you need to drive your robot to the correct place and shoot the
ball with the joystick button.)

| Most cool... I'm depressed that I didn't even think of trying all the buttons. I'm a button and flashy lights kinda person, the more... The happier!!! Thanks for showing me the errors of my ways. Can't wait for the next version with keyboard control (...) (26 years ago, 7-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
