Re: Gyroscopic Steering?

im also part of the team that had the gyro at san diego. all i can say is that it works very well. im the driver of that robot and it helps out with all turns tha i make. i was actually very supprised that other teams didnt implement this to their robots.

for more specific details about it, the actual flywheel weighs about 10 lbs, the frame around it weighs about 5 lbs, it spins at about 2400 rpm, and to my extent of knowlege, the gyro frame turns at about 45 degrees. it mostly makes all of the robots movements more fluid and accurate. not to mention also it will get me into harder turns or get me out of sticky situations.

for example, during one of the practice matches at san diego i was going and picking up balls and i accidently missed one by accident and it was just skimming my left bumper. i turned the gyro to the position for me to go left and turned left. in about a second, i did a full 360 and i picked up the ball. the overall circular momentum from the gyro is very powerfull and a huge advantage.
