Re: Need a motor
If you can, use Fischertechnic parts. We use them in my POE (Project Lead the Way class) class sometimes. They have pretty small motors that move relatively fast and you can program switches. It's pretty basic programming.

Re: Need a motor
This site should help you out. A little less professional then the stuff we have at school but it should be what you need. It may look like little kid stuff but it works great!

Re: Need a motor
ooooh a marker as in ink marker lol.. i thought like a sign or w/e
LEGO!!!! mindstorms is real simple. the rcxc 1.5 is soooo easy to program. and if its not enuf for u theres plenty of free languages u can download. as for making a track, its real easy. the hardest would probably be attaching a marker to the bricks. but hey, at the worst, itll be a ducttape or hotglue job. ![]() |

Re: Need a motor
Kyle, does the power motor kit have stuff to make a track for the motor to work with or does fischertechnik sell parts to make the track? and can we control it using BASIC
