I'd say forget the math and find the guy who did that elaborate pneumatics test with Mindstorms. He'd probably tell you to create a car that housed the RIS and hook the rotation sensor up to a wheel that rested on the track. Then you could keep (...) (25 years ago, 10-Mar-00, to lugnet.town)

I have a couple of potential ideas. I'm assuming that it is ok to "modify" the table top, but you'd prefer not to mess up the LEGO sets. If you have a large flat piece (like a base plate with a building, trees, or horses), then you can put screws in (...) (25 years ago, 10-Mar-00, to lugnet.town)
