Re: Sensor Issues

Warning! Our team made a trike before. We used a potentiometer for wheel position and 2 limit switches for calibration and safety. It worked but, the 3 points of contact make for a less stable robot than 4 points of contact. Also, that year each wheel was driven by worm gears. You need to do a little math to set the wheel speed for each wheel in tight turns. I would think twice about trikes.
