Re: [FTC]: Team 35's Servo Test

A quick test of a 4-bar linkage with the new 2008 FTC kit. The programing is a tad off, but it does give you an idea of the power of the servos and the possibilities of the new kit. The arm was made with two 16" C-channel and a 6" short member. Our final arm will be shorter, but will look a lot like this.

We are now working on programing that does not relate stick position with servo position. We would like to have the servos act more like a motor, so that when we take our hands off the stick the arm stays where we want it rather than returning to the neutral position.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
