Has anyone else built this type of platform using the NXT set?

Yes, Steve Hasseplug:

Ah, now that is sweet. I hate that I missed that. It is very similar

I found this one tonight using the RCX:

and will probably take a stab at re-creating it on the NXT. If

smaller NXT motors without the built in rotation sensors.

You may use RCX motors with conversion cables. But rotation sensors
help to
coordinates motors to drive precisely in any direction.

I love your toe-like "wheels" ;o)
