Re: Electric Vehicle C
What kind of motors are you using? Continuous rotation servos? DC motors? Brushless?

Re: Electric Vehicle C
How do you aim? Lazer pointer? Eyeballing it? Scope?

Re: Electric Vehicle C
-EDIT- DISREGARD THIS. I thought it was Air Trajectory
Eyeballing it works fine for our team. We eyeballed last year and got a best score of 6634 in competition.

Re: Electric Vehicle C
How are you guys planing on stoping your vehicle, I am planning on using an arduino as a timer to cut power to the motor.

Re: Electric Vehicle C
I plan on letting the whole thing run on a Python script with a Raspberry Pi with a motor HAT, so a very similar idea that seems to be the general consensus.TylerMiller wrote:How are you guys planing on stoping your vehicle, I am planning on using an arduino as a timer to cut power to the motor.

Re: Electric Vehicle C
Just curious, what made you choose Raspberry Pi over, say, and Arduino? From what I've heard, the latter is more common for robots and stuff.TyBlood13 wrote:I plan on letting the whole thing run on a Python script with a Raspberry Pi with a motor HAT, so a very similar idea that seems to be the general consensus.TylerMiller wrote:How are you guys planing on stoping your vehicle, I am planning on using an arduino as a timer to cut power to the motor.

What type of motor do you plan on using I planing on using a stepper motor.TyBlood13 wrote:I plan on letting the whole thing run on a Python script with a Raspberry Pi with a motor HAT, so a very similar idea that seems to be the general consensus.TylerMiller wrote:How are you guys planing on stoping your vehicle, I am planning on using an arduino as a timer to cut power to the motor.

Re: Electric Vehicle C
I am just more familiar with the Pi and am more confident that I can set it up properly in time for our invitational next Friday. 2 of our other teams are planning on using Arduino boards, which is cool.A Person wrote:Just curious, what made you choose Raspberry Pi over, say, and Arduino?
