(...) I suspect there are two different issues being discussed here. One is to be able to go straight in some known direction. The other is be able to go straight. If you have a direction to go in, because you have a light beacon or a compass or a (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics)

I tried both of the drive trains in the Ferrari's book and still had problems getting the robot to to travel a straight line. The design they suggest was a huge improvement over a non-feedback direct differential drive, still I need precision for a (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics)

I don't have the book either. Did Mario and Giulio seem to think this selectable torque locking helped in helping a robot travel straighter or turn more consistently? I had initially intended this to be a sort of transmission to give the option of (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Isn't the IR system that the RCX already uses wireless? Or do you mean radio as opposed to IR? If you mean radio, what aspect of RCX communications do you wish to transport via radio - data that usually goes via IR? - some form of information (...)

hi Mike, (...) Yes I'm interested, I've just made my first steps with an IR remote control, which should also be capable of receiving data form the RCX. I'm also interested in more sophisticated technics as blue-tooth. And of course one the great (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.tele)
