Subject: [alt-beam] Re: Turning a walker

I agree that this may be a method that would work but adding another
motor would just add to the complexity of the bot (more things to go
wrong) and reduce battery life. Just to let you guys know.... Mark Tilden
has a two motor (proof-of-concept) walker that can pivot in place when
the sensore it tripped. I'm 95% sure it uses bicores and posibly the
unicore. So the point is.... It's possible.
