 The code won't compile if you violate the rules of the programming language...but English is more robust, it seems to work pretty well no matter how we engineering nerds mangle it! - MrForbes [more] |

We had the 'bot apart today, so I took the opportunity to snap a pic of our 4-wheel holonimic base.

Do you have the Chips hooked up to the 30 amp breaker? If so you know that you have to have them hooked up to the 40 amp breaker....... I just thought I would let you know cuz that would suck if you found that out at comp. Because I like the look of the omnidrive.

Quick update: We got it driving with encoder feedback tonight. Boy, that makes a world of difference. Our drivers were grinning ear to ear.

You mean you *dont* drill holes in the battery? Sheesh, I thought everyone did.
We lost 10 lbs right there, those suckers sure are heavy unmodified.

No they are hooked up to the 40 amp breakers, the wiring looks like a rats nest now because its just temporary wiring until the final pieces get attached that our electronics will be mounted too. Look out soon for some video and more info about our bot soon!

. Oh and clean up those wires!!

BEAUTIFUL Drive ... I would LOVE to try that ... if I had time (and could get some sleep). The programming must be a nightmare! Congrats! I hope to get a good look in person. Any chance you will make it to IRI (Indianapolis, July 9-10)?

Thanks for all the praise, our programmers have been working non stop for the last 6 weeks, they are tireless in thier persuit of perfection. And we are getting closer and closer every minute they work. They are a great team of programmers.
