rotation sensor counts tread rotation, but, because of skidding, the tank
doesn't turn exactly the same way as treads do

rotation point position/drive length depends on tread width, center of weight
position, speed and geometry of treads and on friction coefficient, so your
value aproximates it very roughly. try to estimate it better by experimenting -
just let your tank perform series of turns and watch it.. then you should be
able to pinpoint and measure position of center of it's rotation.

i gues that's because of different slipping, but i am not sure
hope this helps

| Hi Robert, thanks for your response. Indeed, the main problem seems to be slippage. The more speed the motors produce, the bigger the slippage is and the less is the resulting angle. Probably a tank is bad for odometric navigation. It is a pitty, (...) (21 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

| Hi, I just try the rotation navigator class and have some problems with turning accuracy. My robot is a tank with treads and moving without turning works well, travel() moves the correct distance. Turning with rotate() or gotoAngle() is problematic. (...) (21 years ago, 13-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)
