I couldn’t quite tell, we’re you using the ackerman steering at all in that clip? I’m really interested to see how that method works with a trailer attached. Looks good so far, I look forward to seeing more as the season progresses.
We are waiting for more wheels to hook to our trailer to find out! It is akerman steering with rear wheel differential assist
Looks nice! How’s the Yaw Control working out for you guys? Also, have you guys had time to test out the ackerman style steering, and if so have you noticed any wheel scrub (sideways slippage when turning)?
Looks awesome, I love how transparent your team is!
If we don’t go too fast there is no slip. We can also switch the drive mode by hitting a button to switch to drive mode. It has more yaw in tank drive. We can drive faster with akerman steering.
Thanks for the comments about the team. we will have more video soon
Fredi–Nice birthday present, a driving base in week 3!!
