Short way to describe the essentials of your robot

So helpers can understand your robot, I would suggest that you provide a count of sensors and motors. Like my robot = (4 sensors and two motors.) That essentially defines what it can do, and allows everyone the help.
Let sensors be S and motors be M then robot = {4S and 2 M}
The complexity of a robot is S/M. You can use that also for each robot function.<p>This is to promote a common language.<p>[ March 14, 2003: Message edited by: Harold ]</p>

And of course we need to know how to make it go in each direction of travel, meaning:<p>4S and 2M<p>Forward:<p>M1 on
M2 on<p>Right:<p>M1 off
M2 on<p>Left:

M1 on
M2 off<p>etc....

Yes, if we need more detail we need to know where they are, but knowing how many tells us how complex.
I have the motors running in bobbob's post.
