Re: 2 truck drive train
If you only have one wheel, the you run into the problem of having to control motor outputs to go straight. I think I might not be understanding what you're saying though.
EDIT: I get it now. There is no inner/outer wheel speed problem because each truck has a differential in the gear box. Having the 2 wheels makes it so that there is no weight on the castors normally. With 2 wheels the castors are only used when you the angles of the trucks get too close to 90 degrees from the robot frame. BTW I made slight mistake with that ASCII diagram: the turn in place would look like this: | | | | with castors on the left and right for support Last edited by Alex1072 : 26-03-2004 at 19:52. |
