Go to Post Adaptability is the key folks. Your job will not be the same 10 years from now (when I retire), or 20 years or 30 years from now. The tools and systems you use will change, and you must be able to adapt along with them. - Bill Moore [more]

Re: Turning Radius

Al and Alan, wouldn't it be more correct to say that those are the minimum possible turning radii? Because steering in this case uses the slip angle of the wheels to generate turning force (I know that's a sloppy way of wording it...) won't the actual radius will always be greater than the theoretical minimum? On a low friction surface (like Lunacy) I would think it would be much larger than the minimum, with the radius increasing with robot speed.
