(...) Nope - it means if you have two motors which are not perfectly matched (which they so very rarely are), you can still get a straight line. If you build a motor-per-track buggy, and drive it accross a long corridor, then without course (...) (19 years ago, 14-Apr-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) What exactly is the advantage of using the adder-subtracter design versus the motor-for-each-track design? Let me guess; does the adder-subtractor design produce slow changes in direction while the motor-for-each-track design only makes quick (...) (19 years ago, 14-Apr-05, to lugnet.technic)

I built one of these myself - a while ago. The LDraw plans are at (URL) although I am yet to take some photos. My version could definately be made smaller. I intend to apply the principle to two modified servos in a non-Lego bot, although I will (...) (19 years ago, 14-Apr-05, to lugnet.technic)

I must admit, it is not clear if the drive is actually driving the two tracks - in which case it will be two motors, or if it is simply driving the cylinders from the tracks - which wouldnt make a huge amount of sense, but is possible. A picture (...) (19 years ago, 13-Apr-05, to lugnet.technic)
