Re: Car Steering/Drivetrain

bedford 1023 has a crab and with a push of a button it straighens the rear crab modules and stears the front crabs like a car. It is very effective to have in open space when you are picking up orbit balls in the front intake.

Re: Car Steering/Drivetrain

Yes, we did the car steering. We have never attempted anything like this before. Our Drive person spent countless hours in tweaking the system until it was solid. It was very effective in turning in Oklahoma City. It has one cim driving the rear two wheels, and one cim per front wheel. The cim and transmission both turn in unison.

Hopefully with the changes we are making to the top of the robot, it will be a more effective scorer.

Re: Car Steering/Drivetrain

Does anyone know if anyone has tried doing the differential in software?

Maybe its just because I am a software guy, but since my team has a motor per wheel on our swerve drive for traction control reasons it seems like that would be much easier pull off.
