Driving and "Traction controls"
I need some suggestions. Here is our problem: We designed our robot with a simple four-wheel drive system, skid-steering. We tested the original robot with a relatively slow gear system, and could go about 6ft/sec. We tested our robot early on without any "traction controls." It was easy to drive, and very maneuverable.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asyMu...eature=related Then we changed two things. One, we geared up to 9 ft/sec. Two, we added traction control. Now the robot is very hard to drive. To me the driver, it feels like there is a "delay" in the system. Our programmer had good intentions by putting a traction control system in, but it make the robot intolerable to drive. How did your teams solve the control conundrum? Any suggestions for us? Thanks!
