Subject: [alt-beam] Feedback: IS IT REAL???
How 'bout this to create feedback?: this would 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...
