Really nice!
I recently built the original bug from the descriptions in the "10 Cool
Lego Mindstorms RIS 2 Projects' book but the program files that come
with it are all lsc files.
I'm having a hard enough time learning NQC to try to make sense of any
of that for now so I wondered if you had any nqc programs for this bot
to see how you made it work and learn by example.
(if anyone else has some pics of a bot + nqc file(s) I can have a look
at I'd be much obliged)
regards linmix
