Are those AndyMark wheels? If they are, how did you get the rollers to move so well? We are having major sticking problems with them..... Many won't even turn.:eek:

WOOW (note the double o's and the capitalization)

really nice job. holy schmoly. geez.:eek: we should get working...
we only have a robot that moves around with two wheel drive. no sides or top or ramp yet...

Re: Team 166's robot
 

what type of OI do you have for it? we are doing an omni thing, and using a halo-esque drive with one joystick for translation and the other for rotation. we considered two other, one with a twsiting joystick which me mgiht go to, and another that involves cutting up 4 joysticks, lining them up perfectly, putting some bars on top connecting them, and letting the top and bottom x and the side ys control the wheel power. the later control system was derived from some teams OI a while ago on a 3 wheel omni robot.

so ya, what type of OI are you guys using?

Re: Team 166's robot
 

We have 3 different types.

One uses dual Flight sticks with the FPS style.
One uses an X-Box 360 control with the FPS style.
and one uses a 3 axis joystick. Left and right strafes, and twisting the joystick rotates. Very nice to handle. We've just been using one that someone brought it. It's kind of difficult to twist, so we might look into getting a different one.

I'd like to use Katamari Damacy style controls. It's almost exactly like tank drive, except when you want to strafe you tilt the two joysticks the same way. Eric Finn has been doing all of the drive code and I don't want to load him up with too much work. So, that probably wont happen.
