Is it possible to control an NXT with Bluetooth device(such as mouse) directly? I watched a video clip from youtube (URL) I want my NXT to do that :-) I read 'Bluetooth Developer Pack'(or whatever it is) and it says NXT requires to receive certain (...) (18 years ago, 24-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics)

The problem is they are hard plastic with ridges, so if a tread ridge catches on a rough portion of the surface, they push fine... but if the surface is smooth, they'll just slide (very low coefficient of friction).
