Re: pic: Me with the Simbotics robot from 2004
Thank you for posting this Ian. This robot is still one of my all time favorites.
For those of you that were not there to see this thing in action I will describe it. It had 2 swerve drive modules and 2 caster wheels. the control system was excellent giving it omni directional ability and controllability. The greatest part was that both the swerve modules and the casters were actuated vertically using pneumatics. They would drive up to the platform that was on the field in 2004 (6" I think) and they would raise the frame of the machine by firing the actuators. The frame would clear the platform, and they would lift the wheels up as the drove forward. The thing climbed up onto the platform without tipping at all. It was an amazing thing. Matt B.
