prety much says it all.

Hi all,

I've been playing around with what I call a virtual bicore for about three =
months now and dug it up yesterday. I changed it around and it is working=
, but has a quirk. The oscillations only happen after a load is put on the=
motors. I have an experimental LEGO frame that I've been using as the prt=
ottype for my next walker and had it lying on my workbench (minus legs and =
upside down). It starts up with no problem, but only runs one way. I deci=
ded to test the torque on the motors and pinched down on the "shaft" and lo=
and behold, it started oscillating. When I let go it continued going in t=
he last direction that is was going when the load was taken off. =


I thought that this could be used for the 'bot to try to right itself (righ=
tside up) after falling. The oscillations only begin after the motors are =
loaded alot. I'll keep you posted on the progress.
