I brought in all our RCX pieces for this week's "Lego A.T.V. Droid" class. I
figured the kids might want to create a tracked robot or two.
I made one myself after several kids struggled to create a sturdy base. At the
moment, I'm staring at my invention thinking, "This thing's too wide.", "It's
splayed", "It not as elegant as a Roverbot.", etc. etc.
I'm going to keep working on a tracked driving base. In the mean time, could
anyone share any pictures of a tracked robot? I guess the big thing is where
and how to mount the NXT motors.
