Re: Looking for team that used gyroscope in 2009
The floor that year was slippery (not carpet). By rotating the spinning flywheels, teams could force their robot to turn better.
Try it yourself: Sit in a spinnable office chair with a bicycle wheel, and pull your feet off the ground. Give the wheel a good spin, then twist it and see what happens. Same principle. |

Re: Looking for team that used gyroscope in 2009
My team's robot spun our fly-wheel up to about 400-500 rpm and then forced a wedge of high friction wood between our wheel and the wheel mount. This caused our robot to spin ~120 degrees with the trailer and thus avoiding a super-cell (which was worth 20 points for those that do not know).
