Re: Team 964's Robit Thingamabob

Ok, for those commenting about the turning and rear-wheel drive, thanks. Just a side note, that video is from the beginning of week three, so we've changed a lot since then. We'd already planned on adding potentiometers, which we did. Also a better steering wheel and pedals than the homemade set, but not because it didn't work. Just a bit easier on the hardware side.

Before the setup was this far, I had already grown accustomed to rear steering with an uncalibrated joystick. Originally the plan was to use it the other way around, but for some reason everybody found it easier to drive it this way. Still some testing needs to be done this week, but I think it's set now.
