What I learned and used in LabVIEW through FIRST robotics. This includes executable VIs, hints, and papers from others from the FIRST communitythat helped me to make clever Driver Station stuff.
4-Wheel Independent Pivot Drive allows for dynamic and controlled reorientation (twisting) of the chassis in Crab drive mode. The mathematics behind two different Crab twist modes are exploreed.
Basic mathematics behind the control of an 4-wheel independent Pivot Drive-Train. A companion paper, Crab-with-a-Twist, describes the math needed for twisting crab-drive on the move.
