174 gets off the floor

From the 174 website, watch the robot get itself back up from the floor, not without its share of slips.

Re: 174 gets off the floor

Is there a reason that you need the arm to go backwards? Wouldnt it be a convenience to put a stop of some sort to avoid that?

Actually, I can think of two or three reasons for an arm to go backwards. Hurdling/crossing speed, self-righting, and one other reason. Why limit yourself, unless the 80" rule is violated?

it's a good point...how long are you when you're fully over like that? and how tippy is your robot in general?

I wish I knew, but I don't get to visit 174 as often as I use to.

All I can say is that we have a really vast history of balling on backs.

Re: 174 gets off the floor

That looks like its really easy to tip. Maybe you should put some weight in the front

Re: 174 gets off the floor

Cool Stuff!

Will you normally operate your arm behind the robot? If so, Why?

I like you're robot's ability to stand back up if it falls forward or back. Is it stable side to side?

Re: 174 gets off the floor

Yeah, I would agree that it looks very easy to tip, and might violate the 80" rule when tipped; however, nice video. Not sure it'll do you a whole lot of good... but its still a nice ability. Good luck guys!
