Re: pic: DS Swerve on the field

Akash,

In our initial analysis of the game, we thought that going over the bumps was going to be alot more flip-prone than it turned out to be. The robot was supposed to be designed to only have 2 stable configurations (on its wheels).

We saw at Waterloo how it behaved (namely, didnt flip, even when we tried), and determined it wasn't necessary, so we took it off for GTR, and made our ball manipulation and hanger substantially better. Anybody that saw us hang in Q8 at GTR should agree.

The top and bottom wheels were all driven all the time, and yes, it required a bit of driver intelligence in the sense that the controls would be reversed when inverted.

EDIT: Also, we thought it would be good fodder for an engineering or innovation in control award.

EDIT2: It should also be noted that in the above photo, the arm is not in its normal position.
