Yes. Install the "extras" from the "project" menu. You will then get a yellow stop sign, which floats the motors instead of brakeing them. Wire in the ports to be floated. -Peter Coach, FLL Team #1096: The Unibots "J G Gregory" <jgg@ultranet.com> (...) (24 years ago, 17-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

All work flawlessly, no counter drift noted on the rotation sensor. Perhaps it is (...) (24 years ago, 16-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
