Wow, looks like you are getting great traction and great handling.

Have you really geared everything to limit your drive torque?

I think our programmer just limited the power output to the motors. As far as I know we have the standard kit Andy Mark Tough Boxes on that test bot.

That's really good! Does this mean your team won't be going with the brilliant 4 wheel steering system you had last year?

Nice driving! We won't know until competition but I don't envision most teams moving faster than that around the field this year or they'll quickly find themselves crashing into the boards like a bad hockey player.

Re: Team 1629 GaCo's Test Bot On Field

This was on the "regolith" field. While we do plan on some sort of system to handle the balls, but we have not yet made a final design decisions on this system or the drive system.

Re: Team 1629 GaCo's Test Bot On Field

Notice they have the wide chassis setup as well. Easier to turn and maneuver as a lot of people have stated. It seems like you guys have more control than I thought the regolith would allow, so that's good. Thanks for posting the video.

Nice! How are you limiting your power? Is it a simple never exceed X% of power, or is there some sort of feedback loop?
