Re: Team 968 Traction Control Demo

That video's great, and really shows why traction control is essential.

Here's a test I'd like to see (done by you, or any team with 2 identical robots and traction control): Take one robot and use Victors on the drive motors, and use Jaguars on the drive motors of the other robot. Keep the software the same (except for swapping the Victor/Jaguar vi/object). (a) test the two robots as in this video. (b) put the robots facing each other, touching, and have a pushing match.

it is quite nice... but for our team, we just have a really good driver and he manages without the traction control... Seems to actually work better for us.

It shows why you don't want to just jam the sticks forward when you're trying to get somewhere in a hurry.

It'll be fun to watch how driver skill vs. traction control plays out this year.

Re: Team 968 Traction Control Demo

Did your team use Labview or Windriver C++ for your software development environment this year?

Re: Team 968 Traction Control Demo

We need to start a repository for all these Traction Controls. So many teams have done a wonderful job =D
