Hi everyone,
Just had an idea about the robots at Rtl 8. I really want to see something
other than A B skid steering. Sure its simple, but it makes for a choppy 'etch
a sketch' look to the robot when its driving. I don't know if this is intended
to be a direct challenge, but do something creative! I am thinking about a
three wheeled base that drives and steers with the same wheel. Instead of
stopping and turning and then going again, it will steer and just keep on
driving. Just some thoughts,
Rob
btw, since it looks like only one event for rtl 8, could we set aside some time
for 'cool inventions demonstrations'?? I'm sure we could all bring some awe
inspiring creations, especially Iain and his cartesian wonders.
