Re: Pinning Long Robots
we have found a trick that works for our robot, if you notice our robot has between 75% and 80% of its weight on the back two wheels, this essentially makes us a wide robot. (we are narrow) when we are hit the front of the robot pivots into the turn, which rotates the robot in a circle, pulling the trailer away from the pining robot. we can increase our turn by utilizing our turret. our robots turret is a large part of the robots weight, and by accelerating it we turn. (35lb turret with a 27.5" diameter provides a lot of rotational inertia) we designed our turret to act like a gyroscope.
