Re: calculating position using follower wheels


Great work, Jacob and Ryan. Reps to you both.

Ryan: what CAS did you use for that? The syntax you used was rejected by Maxima, Octave, and SciLab. (I got it to work in Maxima by changing the syntax a bit)

Jacob: You got the right answer, but didn't show your work. How did you solve it?


This has a potential practical application for FRC. If you put 3 omni follower wheels -- in the the correct configuration -- on a robot, you can get FWD, STR, and RCW information from them. Then you can use something like the attached C code to get the position and orientation of the robot.
