Re: Implementing Traction Control for an advantage in the 2009 game

Our team is looking into implementing an algorithm we found for a four-independent-wheel-drive electric vehicle ETS, using four encoders and a gyroscopic yaw-rate sensor. We will be enhancing it with the accelerometer to detect sideways skid and report to the driver, if not correct it.
