I'm pretty much inclined to go with KISS too; it's less complicated, with
fewer parts to worry about and less that can go wrong. Plus you can always
expand on it and modify it easily. Bot 5 looks like a good design, especially
if it has stood the temptation to take it apart! One question, though. When
you say the robot uses "A/B" steering, does that mean it uses the
differentials? I couldn't tell from the page with the robot all enclosed in
Technic beams.
I've finished an LDraw of the sensor apparatus that I mount on the back of my
simple rover - I posted the file at http://www.lugnet.com/cad/dat/models/?
n=214.

| A/B steering is the simplest possible (and least accurate) steering mechanism. One motor controls each wheel. Similar to the very first robot you build with the Mindstorms CD. No fancy gearing or other machinations. Usually the robot has trouble (...) (25 years ago, 22-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)
