Re: pic: Our spine

Guess' for control:
1. A resisting flex seonsor allowing for the approximate bend of the antenna to be read.
2. A camera that looks for a "green blob" on the end.

and coolest (but least likely)...

3. Your using a fiber-optics cable and analyzing the light distortion to find how your bent!!!!

Re: pic: Our spine

The most direct (and probably easiest) method would just be to build a miniature version of the arm and put potentiometers where the motors would interface. Then you just read the pot values and map them.

If you design it, you can build it into a project box the size of a joystick base during your fix-it windows, and just plug it in at competition

Re: pic: Our spine

I have been fortunate enough to see the prototype of this arm in action and I can vouch for its extreme awesomeness. Its probably one of the coolest arms that I have ever seen attached to a FIRST robot.

Re: pic: Our spine

They competed at Palmetto this year; I recall them scoring ringers, but I don't think their arm was ever used on the field to its full potential.
