UniBot - a single-motor robot that can turn

Been slightly obsessed recently with trying to build a robot that could drive and steer with just one motor.

Thanks to 222doc's excellent description of a floating worm arrangement on the nxtasy forums, I started messing about with that.

Got a robot built called UniBot which can drive forward and turn in one direction - all off one motor. Rather pleased about that.

Will have video on here shortly, and will get the LDD file finished soon so others can build UniBot too.
