Re: How are you implementing traction control?

Limiting the commanded acceleration of your drive wheels can prevent wheel slippage - but ONLY in the absence of unaccounted external forces. If you are running into the arena walls and other robots, this assumption is no longer valid.

In other words, this type of traction control would not help in a pushing match.
