2009 FIRST Traction Control Conference Presentation

Chief Delphi postings during early part of the 2009 season appeared to converge around 3 Levels of Traction Control that teams were attempting to implement.
Level 1A - rate/limited response without max speed setting (assumes zero non-driven speed)
Level 1B - rate/limited response with max speed setting (assumes zero non-driven speed)
Level 2 - rate/limited response with max speed setting (modified by non-driven speed)
Level 3A - Manual Slip Regulation (0 - 20%) without non-driven wheel speed (standstill)
Level 3B - Automatic Slip Regulation (0 - 20%) with non-driven wheel speed (moving).

The purpose of the presentation is to develop an understanding of Traction Control principles and methods of implementation using the VEX robot and EasyC Pro for prototyping

make it in to a vid and post it on youtube

I created a page on the Wiki Traction Control. Bob uploaded the code and PPT deck that I linked to.
