Re: Bouncing turns

A few weeks ago we had the same problem. It is caused by friction with the carpet. If you place the robot on a tile surface and drive it you will find that the bouncing does not occur. We were not able to find a way to negate this bouncing with the pnuematic tires, but rather went to a wheel with a low friction surface and it works great. If you have any other questions fell free to IM me on AIM: DavidButzin If I can't answer questions you have chances are I will be able to direct you to someone who can. Hope this is helpful!
