Re: tank or go-cart style steering?

Student on team #388, Epsilon, from Grundy High School and NASA, American Electric Power, Town of Grundy. In Reply to: tank or go-cart style steering? Posted by Daniel Garmendia on 1/10/2001 11:26 PM EST: : My team is trying to decide how we want to steer our robot.. The tank-like design would use two motors and we have a program for that. the go-cart like design would use three motors. Two motors for the forward/backward motion and the other one for changing the direction of the two powered wheels.. Any advantages of this way over the tank way? There is a question of traction too.. didn't hear too well 'bout this.. is the arena carpeted? Yes the arena is carpeted. If I were you I would go with the tank style. Its your choice but it is the easyist to design/build/drive/program and it has the ability to do a 0 radius turn which a car cannot do. and it would take a while for the car style to do a 180 also you wouldent need 3 motors since the speed controllers have a reverse in them. its up to you but I would reccomend keeping everything simple and if you use a part design your robot to use the part like it is off the shelf that way you can just buy a replacement and not have to work on it to make it fit.
