Over the weekend we completed stage 1
- The motors are wired and working
- steering works but still need making more robust
- We had to rewire the encoders to use ports they work but not in the program
- we added the torso mount and the kinect
After a couple of test we were ready for our first run, Robbie was making good speed with smooth acceleration and no belt slippage steering is a bit off to the right. The steering encoders are a bit agricultural they need groves to hold the o ring and the correct size o ring. The wiring around the pod bays need to be cleaned up and tied back to stop wires getting snagged. 1 thing i have noticed is the base seems stable when transitioning from forwards to reverse (I felt there might be some wobble in the caster legs).
