Subject: [alt-beam] Re: MicroCore vs. BiCore


VERY not true...I built a master-slave bicore walker
powered by 2 AA batteries. When one of the legs meets
extra resistance, the power trains too far to turn the
motor, resulting in a "larger" turn in the opposite
direction when the bicore switches states. I believe
the microcore operates in a similar manner.
