Hi!
If the mouse ball is placed at a distance from the rotation center of the
robot, then it will never get into a situation where it will rotate around its
own axis. Of course, the software has to perform some calculations, but it's
always a price to pay... ;-)

I would need a sensor expansion board for it, as I want at least 2 touch
sensors too...
I will look at your webpage, I'm sur eit will be useful!
