Posted by Dodd Stacy on 1/25/2001 10:27 PM EST:



excerpt from Dodd's excellent post:

: Gee, wouldn't it be nice if almost all of the bot's weight were carried by just two wheels side by side with the robot's center of mass? These two wheels would just roll forward and backward when the robot rotates and wouldn't have to slip on the carpet at all. AND we would have almost maximum PROPULSION FORCE, because almost all of the weight is being carried on these two driven wheels.

: But how to keep the 2 wheeled robot from falling on its face? Talk to Dean about the Ibot.

END excerpt


Or, come see the Huskie Brigade's robot (Team #65) in the pits at Ypsi, Grand Rapids, or Nationals. )
