Subject: [alt-beam] Is feedback REAL or Imaginary? =]
How 'bout this to create feedback?: this should be usable on a CPU bot aswell..
taking a 4-6-or-8 leg walker, mount 3/4" or so rubber tips coated in conductive paint to the ends of each leg.
Use the leg tip as a resistor in series with the timing resistor for the leg which it is attached..
(Any other type of lateral force changing resistor device would work..)
what happens: When the leg tip hits an object it bends slightly, creating microscopic cracks in the conductive coating. This increases the resistance and slows down that particular duty cycle..
this should show whether this type of feedback is actually beneficial to a bot...
