Hello,
I have been looking for info on how to build a posi-trac differential, which
supplies power to the wheel with the /most/ resistance instead of the least
as with a regular differential. I was hoping the functionality was
mechanical, but I am starting to guess it is computer based. Any hints?
BTW, this is all due to the steerable shrimp I have been aiming towards
since I first saw Mr. Ferrari's page.. I had a lot of brick bay shopping to
do before I got to where I could build it, as well as waiting for my (first)
RCX to show up. Now I am in he middle of the move with the shrimp skeleton
in one city and the RCX in another, oh cruel fate...
At any rate I had started with a similar design but have since been
influenced a lot by this design:

I am highly inspired to get this move over!

| (...) Hello Elijah, Just last week I found some interesting info on Torsen Differentials on the web. They are completely mechanical devices. This may be the type of 'positive traction' differential you are looking for. Check out www.humvee.net for (...) (23 years ago, 4-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics)
