might find the following useful.

This month's issue of the Seattle Robotics Society's
"Encoder" includes an article I wrote about my
RCX-based dead-reckoning robot.  Last June, the robot
did pretty well in a odometry contest held by the
Connecticut Robotics Society ( http://www.ctrobots.org ).
The article discusses software issues related to
its operation.
