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.

Re: 2609: What is this?

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.

It must be all of those since it's "exactly what you're thinking of."

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.

Interesting to see an idea we discussed (and abandoned) on kickoff day, being tried!
