Re: Team 81's Autonomous Mode
I now have a video of our demo robot chasing a ball (warning: 52 megs!)
http://robotics.dyndns.org/METALHEAD...inder_Demo.mpg
You will notice the robot consistently placing the ball towards its left-hand side; this is because I had to mount the camera there.
Mounting details here:

Let me know what you guys think!
EDIT:
This was in full autonomous mode with a PID loop controlling the driving.
There was quite a bit of slop in the gearboxes, hence the "swaying" at the end when trying to line up to charge at the ball.

If it's falling apart it's a mechanical problem. If it's spewing smoke it's a electrical problem.
If it's rampaging around destroying things it's a programming problem.
