Re: Underestimating the Trailer
What if you designed the robot to be mainly driven backwards?
Have the trailer be like the "skis". When you want to turn, just jackknife the trailer and drive straight. The wheels would that way aid in turning.
Or else maybe drive forward, turn backwards.
I honestly didn't think turning would be an issue... until we tried to turn today on linoleum. If you start off spinning you're fine, if you try to turn while driving straight, you better be prepared to wait. And that's without a trailer BTW.
I think the trailer could be used advantageously, if used properly. Just some testing is needed to figure out how that would work. Hopefully we'll have a trailer by Monday. I am thinking of taking some video of it and recommend other teams to do the same, that way we can all examine it and try and figure out how to drive with this thing.
