Re: Actuated Drive (Slide / H)
Here you can see our 2015 robot with a pneumatically actuated h wheel. The original reason for it to be actuated was so we could drive over the scoring platforms. But, once we began testing we found out the 6" vex pro omni would just slip. We replaced the omni with a traction wheel and it works beautifully.

The wheel is slightly in front of our center of mass, so we would go in a circle when we strafed. Our programming team coded some very nice correction software which used encoders and the navX to make the bot strafe perfectly sideways.
