Re: ABS Modules/Systems Question

We were thinking of trying to implement an abs system this year as well. Has anyone done any tests with the brake/coast headers in a typical drive train this year? What i'm wondering is if the CoF is high enough to get the wheel to spin (in coast mode) when the robot is sliding along the floor. If so, then the simplest ABS system would be to utilize your brake coast header and sensor on your drive train - gear tooth or rotary encoder.
