Re: 2609: What is this?
Tell me if I'm wrong but that looks like a fly wheel?
That's a very cool idea, my team was playing around with the idea and actually made one, but figured we couldn't fit that and a ball handler in the same robot and stay under weight. I'm glad to see someone is doing it so I can see how it will work. Really cool idea though, I love it. |

Cool a gyrosocopic turner! Check out this paper for theory of operation:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/4560708/Tu...on-Systems-8pp Then answer the question....where should you apply force to make the robot turn left? |

Re: 2609: What is this?
So how are you planning on getting power to the wheel if it's going to be rotating inside that cage like in that video? I suppose you could just do wires and untwist them but I was wondering if you were going to use mercury rings or brush rings.

Re: 2609: What is this?
It must be all of those since it's "exactly what you're thinking of." |

Re: 2609: What is this?
If I can't think of anything, does it exist?

Re: 2609: What is this?
Wow, very interesting. So you're going to control the tilt of the wheel, to help it turn? Not very familiar with gyros.

Re: 2609: What is this?
Interesting to see an idea we discussed (and abandoned) on kickoff day, being tried!

Re: 2609: What is this?
