Team Shakesc : Build Diary

Cheers Chris. The acceleration footage seems to drop a load of frames - you able to see if a reupload would fix that? Perhaps to YouTube; photobucket's video support is notoriously pants.

Also, in the general drive video, it looks very much like one side starts before the other, and at random. This is typical of sensorless brushless drives with low reduction. Can you confirm if it's transmitter inputs causing how the robot is behaving or if it's the drive? I realise it's a small space but the control looks very lumpy.

Finally, in the on-the-bench testing, one motor starts way before the other. Is that trims? It's very marked!

edit: oh and in the acceleration test, it hits the door, and judging by the squeal, the motor stalls and doesn't get going again? Not promising if it can't defeat the (admittedly high) grip of the tyres on the rough surface.
