Re: Team 964's Robit Thingamabob

I can't see any type of encoding/feetback device on your pinion motor for the steering. Is there any? If not, how are you planning on controlling your steering? (especially during autonomous period)

Our 2007 robot was originally going to rear wheel steer... but we did some physics work and found out that this configuration made the robot inhearantly more easily able to lose control and spin out at high speeds and intensive cornering. Just a warning.

Any photos/videos of your manipulator in action?

Looks good.
