As part of a different project, I wrote a snippet of code that would
maintain a specific speed regardless of the surface. It's based on a
rotation sensor target vs. time. If it's going too slow, the motor speed is
bumped up by one. If it's going too fast, I bump it down by one. The code
was a bit odd because the RCX doesn't do floating point, but you could
probably implement it on your own -- it wasn't that hard.
Cheers,
Jim

| So, I got sent home early from work today, due to the hurricane and all.
