Hey all, I know I must be doing something very simple wrong here - but I can't for the life of me figure it out. What I'm trying to do: Have a light sensor pointed at a surface. Pass that value off to a variable (the variable then contains the (...) (20 years ago, 4-Jul-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

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 (...) (20 years ago, 11-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Have you come across the adder/subtractor drive? Although it make the gear chain slightly more complex - it may mean you can leave out the sensor entirely. The drive has two inputs (A and B), and two outputs - one being A+B, and the other A-B. So if (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

I modify the power settings for the motors to keep the robot (reasonably) straight, rather than stop and start them. If you tried (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
