Re: pic: 2016 Steering module

Thanks guys... This steering is following the concept of the ackerman steering to answer the first question. It was initially design used a chain and sprocket but that provided too much slip and the pot didnt like it. So we switched to a Stackerbox. The turning radius is biased towards left as you can guess from competition. The robot also has a "code" differential to shift power after our steering wheel move past 20 degrees of steer.


Monty was all rookie drivers and stuff so they were still getting used to the bot, not our best performance but it was fun.

We will be at Brunswick Eruption and Ramp Riot later this year.

The best that robot has done is 11 laps and 5 line in autonomous. This was done in Chesapeake. The last match we were in on Friday evening.
