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, that the articles are in Czech, I am still looking for a
good introduction to odometry. I do not know yet exactly
how the angle is calculatet in turns.
Regards
Michael
