Re: Need general drive train expertise

Servos controlled the pan/tilt of our camera in 2007. Tracking the green light over the rack was vital to the robot's success in scoring during autonomous.

2005's camera also had a pan servo, but a combination of factors led to our abandoning vision tracking that year.

There was a servo-controlled release on our 2004 fabric ball-collecting funnel, but we decided to leave the funnel off after our first couple of practice matches. We wanted to focus on knocking the 10-point yellow ball off its pedestal to drop the 5-point balls early.
