Re: Twitching Robot
It sounds like you have too much traction on your wheels. As you turn, your robots wheels must move sideways, and if there is too much traction on your wheels, your robot must fight against this traction, resulting in either the robot appearing to turn in "jumps" or to trip your circuit breakers, either of which could be described as "twitching".
What is your driveline like (number of wheels, dimensions, wheel sizes, wheel material/type, motors, etc)?
