Thank you for your answer Andy.

In fact I built my robot (let's call him R2D1 ) for navigation, pathfinding and
auto mapping purpose. I restrict his evolution to the (flat) floor of my house.
I don't know yet if I'll be able to reach all of my aims.
So R2D1 have 6 wheels. 4 are motorized and the last 2 are free and linked to
rotation sensor. This avoid any slip. In case of collision, only the motorized
wheels slip. Like this rotation sensors keep a very nice track of R2D1 way.

Beginning with legOS, I've fun exploring it so I'll not swap yet for another
OS. And even with legOS I'll try to not use float nor trig functions. Anyway
thanks for advice.
As soon as possible (but this may take few month!) l'll update my homepage
with R2D1's pictures. I'll warn you
best regards
Michael
