Hi. We're a newbie team and just found out about this website. I didn't see any other posts on this board so i figured I'd start a thread and either someone would kindly answer my question or angrily post a link to a previous thread. Either way it's a win situation for us.
Anyway, we're having a lot of trouble trying to achieve a ballance between our two Bosch motors. We removed the pins a long time ago by accident, and since the drills ran smoother, we kept them out. However, whenever the bot's on our proving grounds (aka col-de-sac near our garage) it drives anywhere but straight. sometimes it's only a slight difference easily corrected by the driver, but other times it gets really out of hand.
Yes, we are still using the plasic mounts, as it never occured to us that they weren't sufficient, and they're doing the job well enough. We have had to repair one of the brushes so far, and have taken the drills apart several times. Aside from programming (we're already working on it) are there any simple solutions to making the system more mechanically sound? Thanks for you help.
before you post, ask yourself: Is there a good reason to post this? - Jeff Waegelin [more]
