Go to Post Diversity means diversity in ideas too. Some of the robots from the singapore competition might have employed strategies or ideas that we may not even have come up with in North America. - J Flex 188 [more]

Re: Tank or arcade drive?

It's similar to Arcade drive, but the Y-axis and X-axis are split respectively onto the left and right thumbsticks on a Logitech Gamepad.


Left thumb controls forward and reverse.

Right thumb controls rotation.


Given how important "driving straight" is when driving up a bridge... you may want to consider this layout over tank. Tank drive is notoriously difficult for driving in straight lines.
I was thinking about doing something like this, just have no idea how to program it. I'm programming in java and currently have it set up to do tank drive but wanted to try out this type of system. How does your team implement this?
