Re: 1058's Field Oriented Drive

Thanks for the compliments! I'm not going to give away all the secrets without permisson from the 2 guys who programmed it (Brendan the guy in the video being one of them)

We're really happy with how it worked out. We ended up buying a nice 3axis joystick so you can just twist the handle to rotate the robot. We also added some automatic features for balancing on the bump and aiming purposes. Check out this video to see the bot on the bump and we'll see you at GSR and Chesapeake!
