take a look at http://www.phred.org/~alex/lego. There are two robots
there based on an adder/subtractor that uses two differentials. The 2nd
design (at the bottom of the page) is much more efficient then the first,
so if you build one I'd suggest starting there. There is a website
where someone made directions for it using LDraw... I'll find the URL
soon (probably within a few hours) and update my page with that.
