Re: Maneuverability

We caught ourselves using this term "maneuverability" without defining it as well. We got caught up saying we want a maneuverable robot.

What is maneuverability? We defined it as being able to translate in both the x and y directions and rotating about some z axis (CG of robot). This is becasue you can have a fast velocity or great traction, but that does not mean you are maneuverable.

It was a very weird discussion we had...
