I did this in the past (since disassembled the bot) and found it to be
quite reliable; except on slippery surfaces and carpet. :)
The trick that I employed was to gear-up the rotation sensor. This
causes the rotation sensor to detect even a slight difference between
the motor outputs (although it generally increases the space needed)
Also, you should be able to get fairly reliable turns (45 degree, 90,
180, etc...)
I am interested in seeing pictures when you are done; and updates to the
program!

| Hi I saw in the LEGO Mindstorms Web Page that many people made their robots with 2 motors go straight using one rotation sensor on each wheel and stopping the correct motor until both sensors were equal. I got Ultimate Accessory Set as a present (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
