| | | In regards to the two motors included in the standard Mindstorms set, is it possible for one to turn faster than the other? I think I may be experiencing that... Any answers would be helpful. Thanks in advance. Bryan (25 years ago, 29-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | | I used a similar set up and attached the camera sender to a Scout with the Scout running one of its built in programs. For power I went to Radio Shack and bought a 8 battery holder (#270-3878 with #270-325 9V snap connectors) and an adapter (...) (24 years ago, 29-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | The short answer is yes. The motors are not equal. You'll see designs using just one motor for the drive train for this reason. I'm in the process of toying with two rotation/angle sensors, one on each motor to see if I can programmatically synch (...) (25 years ago, 29-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | | | (...) Why not just sync the two motors with a the differential provided in the kit? Or do you want the motors in sync but driving separate axles? thanks, alex (24 years ago, 29-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | Bryan, many of us have noticed small to larger differences in the motor characteristics. Unfortunately difficult to compensate for... If you are lucky enough to have 3 or 4 motors you can try to 'match' them. Anyone else have suggestions?? (24 years ago, 1-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics)

Just to remember the problem (I hope it's still the original one): Rotate 2 axles in sync when in the same direction, and be (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics)
