1 of two motors without gear box.
and steering which will be heavily moded. by the way, does anyone have a script that will let you control the servo and when you let go it will move back to centre? going to use custom movement panel.
need a command that will cue the sabertooth forward and reverse in the custom movement panel.
will the Forward() command cue the sabertooth motors forward?
K so recap:
1:Need a command that will cue the sabertooth forward and reverse in the custom movement panel. Will the Forward() command cue the sabertooth motors forward and reverse() cue the sabertooth reverse, without sabertooth movement panel? or do i require a sabertooth m.p.?
2:how can i block the sabertooths ability to turn the wheels different ways? Thinking i will try setting the left turn and right turn values to 0. will this work?
Any responces will be great.
Modified the chassis to fit the motors.
The motors and their gear boxes are in place.
This is cool! Nice re-use of parts.
