    I put together a two wheeled bot today and was showing my son about how
one motor could be used as a generator to drive the other motor. Leaving

Were you using those thick wheels that come with the Mindstorks kit at
the front - they limit the steering quite a lot, as I found to my dismay
when I tried the 'turnbot' ;) Also - if the RCX was on then the brakes
would have been on also?
