I found again an old code I wrote for Cybermaster to do avoiding based on tacho
slowdown.
The trick is indeed to drive at a low power level, or the wheels simply sleep
and there is not enough slowdown to be reliable.

task main ()
{
Drive (-5, -5);
Wait(50);
Drive (-3, -3);
while(true)
{
if(TachoSpeed(1) < 50 || TachoSpeed(2) < 50)
{
Drive (5, 5);
Wait(50);
Drive (5, -5);
Wait(50);
Drive (-5, -5);
Wait(50);
Drive (-3, -3);
}
}
}

I guess there is a define statement missing that goes something like #define Drive(l,r) SetPower(OUT_L, l); SetPower(OUT_R, r); On(OUT_L+OUT_R) although the Programmer's guide doesn't mention anything about negative values being a possibility (...)
