Remember the bit about the new Lego Star wars robot thing -
Where you have a setting so that forward drives the motor and backward
closes the claw? That's one motor.
Set up another like in artoflego.pdf with that flat gear (and the worm gear
I think) for a steering mechanism - that's two motors.
Oversimplified, yes. But definitely doable I think.
