 In an education culture that hinges on having the perfect grades and perfect SAT scores to get into the perfect colleges, I enjoy providing an environment where students are encouraged to test their own hypothesis, challenge their assumptions, and regularly fail. - Michael Corsetto [more] |

Re: Steering for mecanum?
The TechnoKats built a simple Mecanum prototype a couple of years ago. Control is done with two joysticks and tank-style steering, but pushing sideways on the joysticks results in the 'bot "strafing" sideways.
It takes a lot of practice to control well, since there's no wheel speed feedback to keep the robot going in the desired direction without constant adjustment by the operator. With appropriate sensors and software, I think it would be very natural and easy to drive. |
