Presumably it might turn the other way if you reversed the motor?

Erco figure-8 challenge anyone?

ceptimus,

Erco built a single-servo robot that kinda waddles around but I can't remember if he did a Figure-8 with it.

Here is erco's single servo Rocky the Robot doing a figure 8 - https://forums.parallax.com/discussion/comment/1429154/#Comment_1429154

Whit,

I swear he did another smaller one with a twisted wire or am I thinking of something else.

an oversized bristlebot . Dificult to steer just by changing rotation. Here is an attempt to make it steerable by shifting a weight (requires 2 motors):

Others use 2 vibration motors for steering
