I just got the RIS 1.0 set, and I was wondering if it is possible to build a
rack-and-pinion steering system using the basic set of parts that comes with
this set. I've spent awhile trying to figure it out with some success, but
my designs have a huge turning radius. I was wondering if anyone could point
me to a working design so I can see how it really should be done.

Also, what are your results with experimenting with the range of the tower?
I am getting about 10' with max angles to the tower of between 70 and 80
degrees (the tower is sitting on top on my monitor about 5' off the floor,
and the brick can talk to it from almost any place in my office). I've had a
little success with getting the tower to talk to the brick in another room,
however the communication is much more intermittent that way.

tia,

-Ben

My new Pitsco catalog arrived with new goodies such as the DCP sensors (humidity, air pressure, motion, temperature, sound, PH, and voltage. I assume on their web site as well. www.pitsco-legodacta.com -- Richard Clemens Associate Professor, (...) (25 years ago, 27-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)
