Hello,
I'm just getting started with NXT and was wondering if anyone has
successfully built a car-type robot. By this I mean a robot that uses
one motor to drive the rear wheels and one motor to operate the front

how to get this done without additional parts. My RIS stuff is in
storage for another couple of months.

something like NQC. Any suggestions? I've done a little digging but
come back empty-handed.
Thanks,
Jonathan
