We've been using both for several years -- plus the shifters. Our 2009 robot was too good and we took out 3rd gear: fast, faster, and out-of-control fast.

We'll probably put shifters on later, and every sensor we can think of, on this robot; it'll make a good test bed robot and something to refer to for many years.

If we need a "straight wheel" robot test bed, we still have Other Brian's "chair-bot" -- see way in the back in the middle of the photo. It was our robot from many years ago and was our LabVIEW testbed last fall.

daltore -- thanks for the info and suggestions. We're treading new territory here so it helps. My programmers are going to stagger in for a Saturday programming session, which shows how eager they are. Staggering, I'm sure, as some are going to the Prom tonight!
