yea ian..in your duster bot what happened to the video....and how did u make
one motor stop while the other reverse step by step in your dusterbot(did u

well i didnt excactly have fun cause the frustration of the circuit made me
go nutz....as for asking questions...u are to busy to reply my simple
questions and sometimes hard ones.....other than u i dont know who else who
has build the beamant other than mark tilden....so i hope u could let me
know some vital information...thanks a lot

So u mean u didnt change the design of the leg in order to make it turn as u
said it would in a two motor walker.....?

Just put an on/off switch between the batteries and the actual robot, so it dosn't use it all up before it's fully charged.
