Re: Turn 90 Degrees
i think it is only simple to do it mathematically w/ a 2 wheel drive robots... .use the distance between two wheels as your turning diameter multiply that times pi for circumferance... now to turn 90 deg it is the (circumferance / 4 )/(wheel circumfrence) to get revoutions of wheel needed....
now if you have four wheels i think it gets trickier because the radius along which each wheel / side turns seems to be uncalculable ...easily ... at least i can't think of a way... also the other side kinda affects it...
