 But please take into account that each year, the GDC has to come up with a rule book that will spend the next three months being picked apart by 40,000 of the brightest, most creative minds on the planet. I think they do an outstanding job of it. - dtengineering [more] |

Re: Rack and Pinion Style Robot.
Just a little side information, Ackermann steering refers to a specific type of car steering geometry. With Ackermann steering, the wheels will actually be at different angles during steering travel to more accurately approximate the path in which they are traveling. Cars have Ackermann steering for a variety of reasons: decreased scrub, better front end traction, etc.
Here's a picture to explain further:  Not all 'Car Style steering' in FRC is necessarily Ackermann Steering, some teams in 2008 used parallel steering to some success, among other methods. |
