Thanks for those instructions! Now that I’m finally done with finals, I built everything you included in the instructions and it worked really well. I also added some other things from your pictures, but I’m still having a little trouble understanding exactly how the base and the wheel modules go together. I see that on the outside they’re joined by the blue support bar things, and I see that they’re somehow controlled by the bevel gear thing, but I’m still not quite getting how it all goes together. I also noticed that on the wheel modules the pair of gears that mesh next to the wheel don’t turn. Now is that supposed to happen or did I do something wrong? Finally, what sort of issues did you encounter using the rotation sensor with the joystick? I’ve been playing around with the sensor trying to get some sort of prototype to work with but I keep getting the same 4 readings. For example, I’ll have it straight and it’ll be zero(makes sense). Then I move it back and I’ll get like 39 then 80 then 100, and then when I move it forewords(from the zero) I’ll get 100 then 80 then 39. Is there some good way to differentiate between these in the programming? Or did you somehow limit the motion so you only got the 39 and the 100 so you didn’t have to deal with the overlap?

Sorry for all the questions, I’m kinda new to this. And thanks again for sharing your plans!
