Getting A Bot To Turn
Today I was brainstorming drive train ideas, but I was struck with a problem we encountered this year and never fixed really. The problem is, we have extremely grippy wheels on a 6-wheel layout. This works fine on a low bot, and it turns rather well, but with a tall, heavy mast like we have, we encounter a strange phenomena when we turn. The robot will begin to violently rock the more we turn. The things like a train when it's going straight, but when it turns quickly it's occasionally in danger of completely tipping. Any ideas for it or for a new 6 wheel bot with a high mast? thanks, this is an interesting problem.
