Re: pic: 1565 Twitch the missing Linkage Underbelly

driving it is really easy (I drive it ) I use a 360 controller, using one of its joysticks and the "A" and "B" button. Software makes it easy to drive, but it does take some getting use to so that I remember that when I'm driving sideways, forward on the joystick turns the robot right


We only have that cylinder and a really small cylinder at the top to use, so air is not a problem, and we only need to use 30psi to move it so we get roughly 7 or 8 switchs in a row before it can't do it anymore. The cylinder is overkill, but when we don't use air for anything else its better to have something we can for sure say will move the linkage, instead of using the very minimum (which we tested as a 3/4" bore 6"stroke, and that worked pretty good)
