I think so, most problematical is the reduction in starting torque, free
running always seems to peak at the same RPM. With an Acrobot based robot I
have problems with wrinkles in the carpet stopping it when manoevering at
low speed, but it still gathers up enough in a straight line to smash the
bump detectors. I think application of full power to get started, then
reduction to 1 or 2 or freewheel periodically is necessary.
I am waiting for a rotation sensor, then I'll have traction control...

| I noticed that settting the motor speed does not seem to have much efect on the speed the robot is moving: 0 = slow 1 = faster 2 = slighly faster than 1 3-7 = about equal to 2 Am I doing something wrong? Or is this standard behavior? Mark Overmars (26 years ago, 10-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics)
