DrJB Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) I've been contemplating building a holonomic drive based on http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=92575#entry1830122 Then the question is how do you control this? Thinking of using the EV3 to drive the robots, and the NXT to control via BT/else. I'm thinking a joystick with both pitch/roll controls to command XY motion, and joystick yaw to control the robot's rotation. Anyone has done/seen something of sorts?

aeh5040 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) If you want to do it without mindstorms then this is a solution (skip to 0:53 to see the control, and 2:14 for the internal mechanism - sorry for awful video quality). I think I may still have instructions for this... Edited February 23, 2014 by aeh5040 Quote
DrJB Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Thank you. Rather neat that you did all the 'math' by add/sub mechanisms ... really nice. Do you have a link to more info? My initial thinking was (is?) to use a joystick controller a bit similar to the one in the video below (Time Mark 3:16) Edited February 23, 2014 by DrJB Quote
