well if u said turning your two motor walker is easy...why dont u just let
us know in the list...like what controller did u use for it(a microcore or a
bicore) how u influence the bot to turn like where did u put those
photodiodes on to bias the input resistor and such...well i think all your
reisitor and capacitor value should me mentioned too....and what gearmotor
are u using ...a servo?....thanks
