Title: Control glich
Post by: Yeastisbeast on July 06, 2014, 03:30:36 AM: I'm making a slightly insane robot on robot arena 2, but when I wired the controls for the drive motors they only worked on 1 of the drive motors . I wired AD for the left wheel and JL for the right one. Here's a picture of the wiring and 2 of the bot.

Thanks, playzooki, I couldn't see it.

Yestisbeast, could you show us a screenshot of what you have wired these controls with?

Post by: kill343gs on July 14, 2014, 01:18:42 AM: that's actually exactly the problem. When you build a bot intended to be oriented perpendicular from how you build it in the lab, it will not be able to turn no matter what you do.

Yep, you have no clue how mad that makes me.

Post by: playzooki on July 14, 2014, 02:05:20 AM: Yeah, i suppose you could use bfe though

Post by: 090901 on July 14, 2014, 09:04:10 AM: I bet you could easily build this normally however

Can a strafe drive system maybe work? Something like a third motor perpendicular to the drive, just like some basic rc cars have.

Post by: Yeastisbeast on July 14, 2014, 10:40:51 AM: I think it's the building sideways thing. I built it sideways so I could completely incase the chassis in the disc shell, to make it very hard to damage. Thx 4 every1's help.
