Hi Alex,

I have a question based on one model.  It says "Anthony Fudd, who also built
models for the LEGO MINDSTORMS American RoboTour, showed some very nice
models. One of them was an almost holonomic robot, which had one set of
wheels to drive forward and backward, and one set of wheels to drive left
and right."

Did this model raise and lower the side to side wheels?  Or were both sets
of wheels in contact with the ground at once?  The former option would be
much more complex mechanically, but the latter wouldn't work too well.
Based on the picture I can't tell.

Yes, only one set of wheels was in contact with the ground
at a time. It scanns the ground in a grid fashion, looking
for bricks to pick up.

Hi all, I have made a report with a number of cool videos (and some photos) from the MindFest. Have a look at: (URL) Hautop Lund (25 years ago, 1-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)
