Re: pic: Skunkswerve....team 1983

A bit of simple traction control might come in handy. Our programmers are working on just using a PID loop in Labview (which makes such things a bit easier) to slowly ramp up wheel speed.... BUT.... with a "turbo over-ride" button for when the driver wants to put on a drifting demonstration.

I notice that even my "toy" car has a "traction control off" switch on the dashboard for when I want to light 'em up a bit.
