1/4 full power. Didn't fix the problems with the drive train yet:
Tightened down the belts and tried it again at 1/4 power:
Try again at 1/2 full power. Much better:
So now I wanted to load the control program I wrote earlier onto another computer and see if I could control it remotely. Fortunately, I was watching my friend's dog Katy for the week so it made the experiment a lot more fun.
Now I need to tune the drive belts so they move roughly in synch and retune the turning code so that I can get more precise directional control.
After that I need to decide if I should start adding some input sensors, build encoders for the motors so that I can precisely control their movement or just go ahead and buy the video camera and try to work around the movement idiosyncracies.
