shenneman How to ride my animal forward 8 Feb 21 2010, 2:04 PM EST by CoolJB

Hey - first timer here! I've made a lovely animal but can't figure out how to make him move forward when I leap on its back. The brain seems to only follow, ignore or run away, and the grab switch (he's a sponge creature) has nothing it will attach to? My creature has wheels. I'm sure it's simple but I can't figure it out! Thanks for your help!
