Quick example here.
https://github.com/CrossTheRoadElec/...bot/Robot.java
Basically uses robot drive which takes four CANTalons. Then create two more CANTalons and slave them.

Use tankDrive instead of arcadeDrive.

Alternatively you could just create six CANTalon and directly call Set() to manipulate the motor outputs directly, or to use the advanced control modes (speed/position/vcomp/currentDraw/motionProfile).

Any updates on videos or turnbuckle materials? I am still quite curious.

James,

Sorry I missed your previous question. I am not sure what I was thinking when I was talking about weakening the aluminum at the weld. The outer body is aluminum, but the threaded rod and by extension the eyelets are steel. We did do some more testing with the chassis regarding t-bone tests, and have that up on the AndyMark YouTube channel, as posted above. I know we had some problems getting the videos to merge properly to post the testing to the channel, but I will see what we can do about getting the tests duplicated or uploaded individually. I know given the discussions happening here that we may have more testing videos once the pulleys have been updated.

Cool, thanks!
