Re: pic: 1565 Twitch the missing Linkage Underbelly

i dunno...it sounds a bit iffy lol.

as far as the software is concerned, it's the same as regular tank drive, except in the sideways mode, i just change from the right and left motors being synchronized, to the front and back motors. also, instead of using the joystick y-axis, it uses the x-axis (any programmer who has done tank drive will know what i mean).

but, ya, the linkage is awesome; we ran into a few clearance issues but got them taken care of. also, we have an autonomous mode that should be able to pass 3 lines in the 15 seconds.

see you all at the Waterloo and Greater Toronto Regionals!
