|
| | | | | | | Here's a really simple (but not fool-proof way): Feed the motor output into a differential gear. The output from the differentials run out through beams and have a medium gear just outside the beam. Then suspend another beam from one end using a (...)

| | | | | | Assuming I have got the design spec right (ie, a wheel which can turn 360+ degrees and drive independently), I have managed to build one from just the Mindstorms bits. But it needs two motors at the moment, since I haven't got a differential left to (...) (26 years ago, 16-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
