Great 2 cents worth! This might solve the input control problem. as
long as there is not to much friction for the turtle to over come.
Maybe you could use a rotational sensor on each side to control a motor
drive on each side. Or a left and right light sensor looking through
wheel spokes or gear holes. Forward, turning, and backing up should all
be possible. Hope the motors don't scare her. Just how big of a turtle
are we talking about any way?
Go Robo-Turtle!

Subject: RE: My ultimate project
This is my first post so I hope it comes out properly. GREAT idea, maybe
I
can add my $.02.. I was thinking that the turtle might get frustrated if
it
actually didn't "feel" like it was going anywhere. So why not put some
free
moving tank tracks under where his feet would walk, allowing him to feel
the
sensation of movement. You could possibly use rotation sensors to sense
the
movement of different sides, or possibly use touch sensors that get
pressed
via the bumps on the tracks. Just some Ideas.. OH, how about mounting a
web
cam to that turt-bot when you're done, I'd love to see pictures of this.
