How are your controls working? You control each motor with one IR channel, right? So you have to convert linear-to-holonomic in your head? In real time?

Here are some building instructions (or at least an MLCad file). The PF parts are not shown, but it should be clear where they go: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/aeh/Killough/ldraw/killough.mpd For anyone planning to build one, there is a warning: the way the wheels are put together may cause some damage to the 8L axles (18 of them), as there is a moderate bending force on them. (I haven’t taken any of them out so I can’t tell for sure). However, at 1-2 cents each from bricklink this seems an acceptable sacrifice!

I’ve also added another video which should make it clearer how the controls work: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/aeh/Killough/video/controls.avi

Many thanks for the encouragement! Alexander
