Re: Mechanical/Electrical Off-Season Projects

We're going to swap out the drivetrain on either our practice or competition bot for a mechanum drive. Then, to control it, we're going to use a DDR pad for the eight directions and a Guitar Hero controller for speed and the manipulator. Details still need to be worked out, but I think it will be fun to make and a unique driving experience.
