A student I am mentoring at the University where we have our RSSC meetings -- told me that the dean might have $5K to $10K funding for a robot soccer team. ...
On Saturday I presented ideas for a kit of parts that might be given to new members of the RSSC, to help them get started building a robot. Any ideas ? ...
Jim, I've poked around the web site and some of it's links and the Soccer contest sounds really interesting. This is the kind of contest I love. With only...
This sounds like a very good challenge I think we should seriously consider this. On this type of effort we must make a full hearted commitment so we need a...
Hi Jeff, I was looking at the the Matsushita motor. The specs on the encoder seem confusing. They say it has two channels with 100 and 4550 pulses. Seems...
Alex, I bought a pair of these motors from another outfit; at least they appear to be identical to what Jeff D. brought to the meeting. They use the same HP...

Jeff, Do you know how many pulses per revolution of the output shaft? Thanks, Alex ... From: "Jeff Shirley" <bucky@...> To:...
Alex, No, sorry. All I can tell you is that it was more than the 2048 counts (512 pulses * 4) I get from the motors I use now. The Matsushitas are pretty ...

I agree it is confusing. Yes, does have two channels. If memory serves me right I verified the 100 pulses per revolution. I wasn't able to figure out what...
Jeff, Now you want *organization* with your contests?! Boy, this group is getting way too political for me... 8o) Scott ________________________________ From:...
Jeff, Thanks, I'll be looking forward to your answer on the encoder. 100 pulses seems rather few though. Is that per revolution of the motor itself? or the...
Alex, Have you finished your list-of-moves function? If so, Timmy could do the contest by pure ded-reckoning. Scott ________________________________ From:...
Okay Alex I measured the motor today. Sorry about the delay, work has got me in a different time zone right now. I first set the motor speed to 100 RPM using...
I realized after sending this I had a mixed unit problem of seconds and minutes. So the final answer really is 100 RPM / 60 sec/min => 1.67 RPS, 7.66 KHz/ ...
Jeff, No sweat on the delay. I amazes me how you guys who have to work for a living get anything done at all. I think I understand your numbers, but let me...
Alex, For 12 volts you do get close to 50 RPM. I measured this motor at 9.99 volts (41.7 RPM) and at 15.01 volts (64.7 RPM). Assuming a linear interpolation ...
San Diego Robotics Society Meeting, Sat. May 6th, 2006 Timmy should do much better this month. Steve is working to get our Scorbot arms moving under remote...
