 It doesn't matter if you write a thousand lines of code for a robot, if you didn't teach and/or inspire the HS students as you did it then you are not a mentor. - JamesBrown [more] |

Re: Steering wheel
I'm not exactly sure about using a steering wheel... the quick maneuvering changes one has to make when in a pushing match would be tough to pull off with the wheel. If youre using a wheel/caster or skid steer system, or any other system that has motor(s) on each side, I really would suggest just having a joystick for each.
The steering wheel would work if for some reason you chose to put turning wheels on the front of the robot, but like i say i'm just wondering if you can maneuver quickly enough with the wheel. I'm not questioning if you can do it, just the rate at which the driver can correct the path/power output of the robot might be a little sluggish. Anyhow, just my two bits. -Q |
