Re: Why don't I ever see robots that steer like a car

This is a discussion we've been having for a week now! no resolution in sight, either.

We're working on a car steering type chassis design, as well as playing with the control algorithm for last year's 6wd. It'll be interesting to see how this showdown comes out, we are sort of planning to build the Ackermann design and drive both around and see how they compare.

For those who had trouble with car type robots in the past, what specifically were the problems? Your help would be appreciated!

(and Kevin, it might even be better to make another quick lap and make another attempt at the ball!)
