I just noticed the conversation about tracked robots. We have done some work with them here at the U of M. We have one of the Tamiya tanks. It is very nice, but only has one motor.

Are there any servos available with 360 or near 360 rotation? I'd like one with more than 42 oz-in of torque, too. Something closer to 150 oz-in would be nice. Thanks, Chad Humberstone EUCLID Mobile Robot Lab BYU (26 years ago, 19-Jun-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

The Tonka toy dozer has some pretty tough tracks on it, but you would have to make the wheels. The ones on the toy are made of plastic too thin to attach a drive mechanism to. There may be a better solution, however. There are two options I think (...) (26 years ago, 19-Jun-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

you are correct, you are just attaching yourself to the beginning of the interrupt service routine, and the job of formatting system flags is taken care of by the ISR. however, i do see something that may be causing numerical errors. in the code, (...)
