I did the 270 to handle using potentiometers at 1:1 ratio. I can easily remove this but Id want to understand what reliable sensor could allow free movement.

As for direction of the wheels there are treads " <-- that rotate where height is portraited by white on top and gradient to dark grey on bottom. Unfortunately the wmv quality makes this difficult to see... I should put the mp4 of this on you tube at some point.
