that is a very impressive system. Once again I am amazed at the kind of innovations that come about in FIRST.

A white paper on the wiring/ how wilddraw works would be cool

once agan, wow, and congrats on being national champions

by the way, what do you use to measure the distance traveled, and what happens if the robot isnt moving while the wheels are spinning, wouldnt that throw off the system?
Each "tick" of a rotation sensor would correspond with a distance travelled equal to the circumference of the wheel, as I understand it.

As for wheels slipping, you may be right but a measly plastic bin won't skid them any measurable amount.

Their system is the best one for this year's game.
