Re: Traction Control Poll

1. Formula that calculates maximum pwm that can be applied at any given speed (experimentally determine formula).
2. Then an Idler wheel that measures slip percentage and reduces pwm values to match current speed if slip exceeds threshold (if your robot gets knocked sideways suddenly, you're going to start spinning the wheels and you need to slow them back down to reattach).
