Re: Transmissions: General Info
I've never worked with pneumatic shifters before, but we always code in a "precision" mode for driving. Basically, as long as the driver is holding a particular button on the joystick, the motors run at 10% of normal speed. This allows for smaller, more precise movements of the robot, for carefully lining up shots or mechanisms.
This is certainly a less-expensive (and lighter) solution than a pneumatic shifter transmission if all you want is more precise driving.
